Does anyone happen to have the correct import/export settings handy for sending a Genesis 8 figure out of Studio to Blender and importing it back to Studio after making a morph in Blender? I followed a tutorial and everything seemed to go OK until it got imported back into Studio and I got the "wrong geometry" message. Probably just a simple setting, but there are additional options in 2.8 that weren't in the tutorial that might be causing the issue.

I'm using latest Studio, Blender 2.80. Thanks in advance.

I sometimes get that message if I forget to set to base resolution before exporting from DAZ Studio.

Or you forget about the eyelashes, as they need removing.

I really wish it had been built on a genesis chassis so I could do a transmation sequence and mix it with my other werewolf morphs. 

This was to be designed from the ground up to be a quality Werewolf design not restricted by the topology of a morph. There's already some good morph wolf morphs in the store but they are restricted (since they are a morph) to venture to far into looking like a wolf. The head, mouth, and feet would not look the same if this was a morph otherwise I would have. I wish Daz would come out with a Genesis Creature base figure with the same rig as the other figures, but with more balanced topology in the head, hands, and feet to be used for morphs.

Are you using dForce hair, or is that fibermesh?

Fibermesh.

As long as you don't change the UVs, yes - but note that increasing the mesh resolution will stop you from using the shape as a morph, it will work only as a static model (unless you bake the high resolution detail to displacement or normal maps).

I think I would be happy if someone just did a Gianni 6 for Genesis 8 Male morph and skin. He is such a great character. They did a Heroes product https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-2-legacies-for-genesis-3-male-heroes way back when. It would be really cool to have something like this for G8M, but the Gianni 6 wasn't very convincing, but I'm not complaining. I suppose if push came to shove I could do a Genesis 3 morph of Gianni 6 from Heroes and morph him with Zev0's upcoming Xtransfer product, which looks really promising. 

Io ormai sono più interessato a plugin utili che altro!

Sono pieno di "figure", non avrò utilizzato nemmeno 1/4 delle texture e la lista dei morph è così lunga che senza "search" non trovo nulla, immagino capiate la sensazione xD

I have been using Daz for a couple of years now, but I still consider myself a noob. I'd say the same for my Blender experience. I started to dabble in clothing, and can create meshes for armor etc. I understand rigging at a basic level, and what the Transfer Utility does.

I have created a mesh using the "snap" option in Blender so it matches the figure closely, but I then remember that clothing is not always skin-tight. When creating an item, is it necessary to differentiate between parts of the clothing that would fit closely, eg waistline, so Autofit would adjust them as appropriate, and parts of the clothing that would remain "unfitted", such as pant legs or skirt. If so, how?

i browsing the refurbed mini macs.  none of come with a dvd drive 

can you get an external one? or load to a flashdrive and transfer

I was collapsing the process - turn the smoothing into a morph, then remove deltas. There isn't any way of directly editing a Smoothing Modifier, it has to be baked out in soem way first.

Thank you four your answer Richard... sorry for the late reply, work floods me.

I've been testing, but how do you remove deltas with the Geometry Editor exactly? I understand how to do that with a morph (select vertices you want to remove, Edit mode in the params tab, fav your morph, right-click in the viewport->morph Editing->Clear Selected deltas from favorites), but if I do that selecting one of the smoothing modifier params instead of a morph I get an error message asking for a morph...

Ms Rubble, the ultimate rock chick!

Well... you asked for it...

WARNING: Nudity ahead....

Okay, not really. I couldn't get a convincing breast morph for G8M so I just got two rocks from the Rock Collection and... well, do the math. *chuckle*

Blender eevee render of a Daz Studio scene

next i'll see if i can let teleblender do the transfer from daz studio with just 1 button, i just have to learn how to make Blender import an FBX file via script

maybe i'll have a teleblenderFBX and a teleBlender new-old-school that uses waveFront .obj

Thank you L'Adair, but I'm a beginner, so this sounds like Greek to me. Sorry about that. Are you saying the new and improved Iray Uber Shader for Genesis 8 can be applied to my Victoria 7 HD model?

The Victoria 7 HD model loads the Victoria 7 Iray materials for me.

The HD is an addon morph for the base figure, and requires V7 for both the shape and the materials. If it's loading without, check to see if you have the base. If not, you can apply any Genesis 3 female materials to the figure, but the shape isn't going to look much like Victoria 7.

Select your G3 female figure, (V7 or any other,) Open Surfaces. There are tabs across the top of the pane. Make sure the one labeled Presets is selected. In the right column, drill-down to Default > Materials > Iray > Feminine. With Feminine open, you will see a list of all the characters you own for Genesis 3 that include Iray materials. Select one and open to locate the presets to apply the various materials and options.

I hope this helps.

I’ll keep building Gen 8. I’ll probably start Gen 9 during the holiday sales. Only if enough content is out. It’s not useful until a ton of characters, clothes and sets/vehicles with interactive poses are out. It would probably start with the right pro bundle on sale.

But I won’t avoid it. Plenty of G3. I can probably skip G8M. G8F is just getting built here.

...for me it's the opposite, I find G8M more interesting because of several nice more "everyday" characters and a better variety of clothing than the G3 version. 

For the female side, I'm content with G3F as I have invested so much in resources for development of my main female characters. Were G8F more of a marked  improvement over the previous iteration, I may have considered it, however I have to draw the line somewhere, partly due to finances, partly due to having to take the time to rebuild all my characters all over again, and the aforementioned investment I already have.

That quote from me must have been awhile ago, so it’s slightly out of context. Since then I’ve slowly been building both G8F and G8M. As far as everyday people, I can really shape great everyday women using several morph packs for G8F. The ‘Wicked’ pack.. A few weight shaping sets. One can add all sorts of minor variations, including such subtle differences for weight and older faces. I see a slight difference with minor details, even with having a big library for both generations. 

G8 is also starting to release very diverse textures for both genders. I do build G3F as well and am getting more G3 stuff with this sale. So I see how 3 is useful. Don’t forget hair and clothes also work for G8, so I buy certain things for both.

But let’s not be misleaded about how diverse and unique G8F can be. Especially since G9 has been pushed back again. I was right to slowly build on G8 since then, as opposed to waiting and skipping or trying to jump in all at once. 

 

Again?

I was only aware of the once, stating not this year (2019).

well, not unexpectedly,  no bat file means no channels to load the morphs into ...

dunno how that power loader works, can it do anything in carrara,  the plot thickens

It runs the bat file and loads all the ticked morphs instead of you having to manually inject them, it's a DZscript

scripts.  Thanks.

and every morph set has one.

The main Gen4 figures do

have you looked in the log file?

clear the log file to start fresh.

start a new scene and load Victoria 7.  log file should give a clue

guessing is an erc that froze the morph in it.

scenes/ is an unusual file path for a morph,

i would guess i's looking in the wrong place
