I am betting it is some morph somewhere. Been testing extremes guess it is time to just test morphs one at a time. I will holler if I figure out which one it is. 

I was excited this morning, and couldn't wait to purrchase... but some of the reviews made me realize it wasn't worth the buy. Especially after having made my own size, shaping and pose tweaks to the orginal MilCat and making wearable presets for LAMH furs combined with fur shaders to facilitate my resized cats. I'll pass on this for now, but thanks to everyone who worked on it. Anyone who doesn't own the original will benefit from the update. Really shows they are listening to those of us looking for more animal models and assets. Just hope this doesnt mean all hope is lost for a brand new cat to go with Dog 8... and AM's upcoming mouse morph for the Rodent Polymorph? Pretty Please? With catnip on top?

Thank you. I have problem with buying a morph. I was hoping that I could just change the head to a skeleton skull with a slider and leave the body alone. 

I’ll try the head morph recommendation. Thanks again. 

So is there a way to straighten out the curves in graphmate? Without somehow manually doing it and hoping it does it exactly right

When you see the curve islolated for the morph in graphMate just Marquee select and delete all the frames.

I recall an old freebie kitten morph fot the MilCat. (Probably on ShareCg), but I don't know whether it would transfer to the updated cat.

 

Diao's kitten morph seems to work fine on the updated cat

 

If it is the same freebie Kitten for Mil Cat that I picked up, then I am pretty sure it is a shaping preset rather than a morph. It just scales some of the body parts, and it might also use some of the base morphs.

No cross gender at the moment. That is drafted as a module possible module though. Focus for now is G3 to G8 then G8 to G3. Once we have that foundation we will look into cross gender and the viability of it.

Regards to ease of use, just choose morphs you want on g3, open script and hit transfer. It will do the rest.

Interesting, Zev. Will buy this and Riversoft's...

For cross gender (which I'm also interested in), could I use GenX to convert a G3F to a G3M morph, then convert that G3M morph to a G8F morph?

 

If your G3M morphs is on G3F base, then yes you can. The source\base genders of G3 and 8 just need to be the same.

Great! Sounds like an okay workaround until your (hopefully inevitable) cross-gender module. 

Has anyone else ever “accidentally” won an auction on eBay?

I was watching eBay as the crypto market declined late last year and dreaming about using a rig for Iray rendering in Daz. Eventually I came across an auction for a 12 card rig with 1060 GTX 6gb cards.

I bid the opening on a crypto miner thinking that there was no way that it would go for the minimum bid. I was the only bidder. Oops!

It has been a couple months since I won the auction and I now have everything working with Daz Studio. There are a few things that are not immediately obvious in using a crypto machine for Iray rendering.

The first is that mining rigs do not ship well.

Packaging material jammed in to help the video cards travel safely weakened riser card connectors causing intermittent problems. I ended up having to replace the usb/pci riser cards to get everything working in Windows.

I recommend using Ver008S or VER009S as they have led indicators to help figure out where connection problems are occurring. From a performance standpoint there is not a difference between any of the risers, just the types of power connectors and the led indicators.

Next, the processor has to have available threads to handle the data traffic to the video cards.

On my early test renders, only four of the video cards had spinning fans. Since I was rendering a simple single figure animation and running into other bottlenecks (more on this below) I didn’t think too much about it.  After a second test render I decided to check the error log and saw this message:

IRAY   rend warn : Cannot use CUDA [devices 4-12] (GeForce GTX 1060 6GB). Not enough CPU threads available.

The rig originally came with a two core Intel Celeron processor. For mining this is fine but I figured I would need a bit more for Daz and picked up a four core I5. In the end the I5 was only able to transfer textures and other data to four of the cards. This meant that the max number of used video cards depends on the number of threads the CPU is capable of.  I have replaced the CPU with an I7 6700k which is the top of the line that the crypto mining motherboard is capable of using. This is true of all the crypto boards I have seen.

The new CPU is 4 core 8 threads but the speed of the processor, at least on my simple test scene, allow the machine to use 12 video cards.  I have not yet tested to see if a more complex scene will drop the number of cards Daz will use.

Last, data transfer and file creation overhead limit seem to the maximum file creation to roughly 2 images per minute.

Well that killed my initial goal of being able to render a short for 48-hour film contests. For my bigger dream of rendering out shorts and perhaps eventually a feature length movie, this is probably going to be okay as other production needs will keep me busy.

Overall I am glad that I won the auction, it was just sooner than I would have planned.

I know it's not a core character or anything, but would a kitten morph be possible?

I was doing a test on somethings mainly dforce. I added morphs after animating stuff because I wanted to test the extremes of some of these that actually  work for me. However, if you ever done this without thinking you will find out the morphs go back to zero at the end. I tried deleting the keyframe but the morphs remained. Clearing all animations and such just resets the whole thing however I noticed if I hover over my morphs and use graphmate it shows the curve of each one I tried deleting the endpoint of these morphs at first but it did not spring back up as I hoped. All I need is a straight curve really but it seems it will not be simple. The thing is I kinda liked how this turned out. I may could export it as a morph but I probably will not use it anywhere even if I did. I figured it would be a sorta waste of space if I did it. However, if that is the only valid option I could do it.
So is there a way to straighten out the curves in graphmate? Without somehow manually doing it and hoping it does it exactly right?
(I honestly thought this would be a feature in it. Seems sorta simple enough from my POV though coding wise maybe not.)

Thanks, Zev0. Does "favourited" mean "selected," or does it refer to: The clicking of the heart icon on a parameter?

Yes the heart icon. And If you want to favourite multiple morphs all at once, just go into edit mode, then hold shift and click on selection, right click and favourite selection. We didn't want the morph selection to be within a script. We found selecting morphs natively on the figure a better approach, since most users are used to finding morphs that way on their figures.

Does it transfer JCMs and similar?

Yes. Jcm's and all hidden properties and maintains links and functionality. (Unless a gremlin creeps up lol)

DAZ is really good at demotivating me to purchase anything right at the moment. I only have Mill Cat LE as I think the bundle was no longer available the time of my purchase - but not sure. But own nearly all other main animal figures. The related articles is empty for me once more. And there is no banner nowhere. Well, given that RiverSoft and Zev0 are offering interesting figure/morph transfer solutions soon it might be better to save some store credit in advance anyhow.

Was waiting for a new cat for a long time, so never picked up MilCat, either, since I have LE. Finally caved a while back though and bought the Hivewire Housecat (there are some awesome free LAMH presets that look great). 

So I hear what your saying - would have picked up a bunch of stuff if the deal was in fact 20% off the cart. Oh well ;)

so a new product can ruin all your saved work? 

didnt know that could happen.  how do you prevent such a thing?

how does that happen, unless an existing morph was changed?

a new jcm mebbe being triggered?

The saved files haven't been changed, it's just a new morph loading on top of the existing characters when the scene is loaded.  Once that morph is discovered and nuked, then the characters will load up correctly again. 

Most likely, this is correct. Specifically, a morph's default is set to 100% (or something) instead of 0%. It could also be that you might have saved a morph from from a character preset if you adjusted it, which would default it to 100%. It's an easy overlook in testing and a quick fix. Select G8, then on the parameters pane, click on currently used. This should show you what morphs are dialed in on the character. Then be sure to file a help desk ticket if it isn't one of your morphs. While you are waiting for that to be fixed, you can click on the little gear icon and go into the morph parameters, and go into the field labeled "Default" and put it to 0. Then you can resave the morph asset.
