Did you follow recomendations to Update and Merge Menus? It is on the Window/Workspace menu.

Window>Panes(Tabs)>Face Transfer

So it says in the installed Plug Ins section that the Face Transfer Plug In failed to load. Not gonna buy the full version if it won't load, that's for sure.

That sounds like a bad install, or somehow a version mis-match. Check Help>About Daz Studio to make sure you do have 4.12.0.86, and of course that you are running the 64 bit version on Windows.

Observation (I can't complain about freebies): I'm researching geografts so I can replace Adria's hands, feet, and ears. I like her face and can morph her body into shape. But the hands, feet, and ears (and lumpy skin) are not for me. No offense to the artists that made her.

Are you on a Mac or PC with Windows 32-bit?

How do you purchase it? I don't see it in the store.

I have all the most recent downloads. I have done the Update and Merge Menus. I have selected the head of a G8 figure.  Still no Face Transfer Pane.

Hmm, that's a texture set for this package...

https://www.daz3d.com/dagonessa

...which is the A3 version of this set for Hiro 3...

https://www.daz3d.com/dagon-for-hiro

I'm not sure of the source for the straps depicted in the McCleod morph set.  And even if I did, i seriously doubt there was the equivalent for A3, at least something this site would sell.

Sincerely,

Bill

i think i have a 2nd skin for A3.  to try it out with.  foxglove i think it was

found her in my prodlib  a lil better than the latex look.

Nice!  It llooks like a significant improvement over Headship and without the hoop jumping.   I took a look at the full version page above and it is $50 on sale for $25.  That seems worth it.   On the upgrade page it mentions that with the free version you get 3 photo transfers with norestriction s, but you get unlimited use with a watermark on the figure.  Is this selectable so that you can try a watermarked version of a transfer before committing to a non watermark version?

 

The watermarked versions are saved in a temp folder, so you can save them from there to a location of your choice. I would suggest to play with the free version to see what you can achieve before buying the unlimited version. It really depends on the images you use and the characters you target. So it is best to try yourself.

So the free versions puts watermarks meaning it's not really free I have facegen

The price is clearly not coming up correctly yet. It is a DAZ original, so it will be 30% off for PC club members. In addition there will undoubtedly be a promotion upon offical release.

Here is an example I did in the beta and the image used as source. It's onlya 30 second effort and I think it's pretty good given the mediocre source image. The lighting is of course completely different.

Ciao

TD

 

Oh wow!  That is pretty darn good!   So the program did this off the photo alone and no hoop jumping (correcting its mistakes) afterwards?  That was a big problem I had with Headship was all the extra correcting and adjusting you had to do.

That image was just the "raw" output of the plug-in. Just 30 sec to run it and then set up the render. There is upodated render a few posts later where I repalce the eyes and the brows.

The Key is right now 50% off!!!

Where do you find the key?

https://www.daz3d.com/face-transfer-unlimited

Right! And then the key is placed on our Serial Key Page(s) ... the item that is downloaded is but the info. to say that ;-)

I haven't tried the beta ... and still waiting for my turn in the download queue for the updated D/S but made the purchase on spec.

 

stratus McCleod of the clan McCleod

same clan, different vintage

Nips! What exactly is the purpose of the harness? Asking for a friend...

Uh, something to hold onto during those, ahem, "intimate encounters"?

BTW, that's not part of that set.  It's just a morph package for the base Hiro 3 figure.  No mention of even a texture.

Bill

It still let users load large resolution images, but it internally scaled them down to 1k resolution.  So, hard to tell by looking at loading only.

True. I have compared the output and input images. It looks to me like the resolution is maintained, but it can be hard to tell because it also clearly applies some blur in certain areas to assist with texture matching and seams. Here is an example of a small part of source (open eye) and resulting texture. It also shows another small issue, the eyelashes if very visible in the source end up on the eyelid texture. easy to fix in phgotoshop, but good to know (and of course hard to avoid...)

In facegen, I used to crop the image as close as possible to the face, because I didn't know if the program did the scaling before or after the face was extracted.  And if the image was smaller than 1k, I always scaled it up to 1k, because I didn't know if it used the same quality bi-cubic scaling as Photoshop.
In Photoshop, maybe draw a 1-pixel wide square grid with fixed spacing on the source resolution, and see how the Face Transfer program warps and scales it.  If there's no scaling, then the grid squares should be relatively the same size on both images.

Facegen also added blush to the face map.  You can tell if Face Transfer adds anything extra by sending it a completely white face and see what happens.

I just downloaded Daz 4.12, and I wanted to try the free version of the Face Transfer function before buying the unlimited version. However, I do not have a 'Face Transfer' pane in the pane menu as the instructions say I should have. Suggestions?

The free version also allows you to remove the watermark and save up to three faces. The unlimited version of Face Transfer will let you save out as many faces without watermarks as you like.

What's Included and Features

• Free version
  • Three transfers (the watermark is removed when saved).
  • After the three uses, a watermark is added.
• Upgraded Face Transfer allows unlimited use - save as many transfers (without a watermark) as you like.
• Save as Scene, Scene Subset, or Morph Asset.
• Face Transfer adds the face to any Genesis 8 male or female figures.
• Only available for PC - Windows 64-bit.

That's a bit confusing! I haven't downloaded the latest version of DS4.12 yet. Is the free version part of 4,12? Why would it say Free version included in the "What's Included and Features" section of the promo for the main product?

Is there a separate download for the free version? If so, where?

Cheers.

Haven’t downloaded 4.12 yet. Does anyone know what resolution textures the face transfer supports? Does it create textures at the standard 4098x4098? I have Facegen artist pro 2, but gave up on Facegen because the texture output was too low-res. Just wondering if this offers anything additional.

The output is 4k*4k. It obviously won't be that good unless the source is also high res.

Thank you.
