I have a feeling that it has to do with parented portions of the snake, but I can't be sure or how to fix it. 

I tried making a custom morph for the Giant Fantasy Snake in Blender, but here's what happened. You can see what I did in Blender. It's only one change that I made. 
When I imported it to DAZ with the Morph Loader Pro, it worked but it was affecting the snake's mouth as well as some of the texture along the body. 
I've been using this tutorial to guide me: 

Can anyone tell me what's going on? 

Even superheroes need to cool off and have some downtime. Only Matt, the good doctor hanging off fthe pool ladder, is an ordinary human. His lovely wife Maryn, swmiining nearby, is a popular superhero. They've invited her teammate Hank, a strongman laden with hot dogs and burgers; his lovely alien girlfriend El; and Anya and Heyyu, a couple of youngsters from a secret forest realm. The kids may look like dark elf refugees from a D&D game, but they're very sweet--although Heyyu is a mischief-maker, which he is dmeonstrating by stealing Matt's root beer float. (The floats are kept cold in the summer heat thanks to Maryn's cold powers.)

Just tested on the converted Jael character and there is no problem with the Autofit.

Used Genesis 3 Female clothes and hair. Left the shoes from the previous render, though.

For me there is a problem with autofit.

I'm getting the same problem with autofit, but I've seen it in the past too...not sure if the same steps would fix it, but what I did before was delete the character, load a fresh base figure and then load in a shaping preset to get the custom shape back again. For whatever reason, that fixed it in the past. I'll have to see if it also works in this case. 

Interesting, I just tried several autofit tests with pants and tops from G2F and G3F and everything worked fine for me. Unless I'm misunderstanding something which is very likely. I've never used autofit for G8F before today so I'm not sure what options there should be in the transfer. I see the same autofit options for the Converted Character and the base G8F character.

Edit: thought I should add I'm still on 4.10 and I used the character scene converter not the 'base' converter. I just tried a few more outfits: a G1 top, G2 skirt, G3 full outfit (bracers, pants, top, boots), and except for the usual autofit issues with the older generations, everything is working fine for me. 

Yes, that is what should happen.  Thank you for sharing.

These are looking very inspiring. I've made the purchase and will be installing it later on today. I'll weigh in once I have it avaialble.

Something to add to the considerations list regarding conversions from earlier figures than G3; you've got another potential market out there. Poser users who are only just now deciding to test out Studio. They've got the G1-G8 bases already, since those are free. They may or may not have decided to put down the money for the base morph sets.

Still, they are bound to have favorite figures in their current collection that they really don't want to set aside yet. The specifically Poser figures are one thing. But most Poser users still pretty overwhelmingly use gen4. And, sure, they can still use gen4 in Studio, but after they've been dabbling with the more current figures, they may well have seen some advantages that they would like to have access to with figures that they have already "made their own" as it were.

Thank you for your purchase!  

You make a good point.  I will definitely consider that.

I'd recommend the 200 Plus morph packs from Zev0 over those, because it gives you a lot more control over the individual details rather than just giving you some preset faces to choose from (although it does also have some faces).

I keep getting the error "failed to save morph asset" - is there anything specific I should -not- include in the character preset as far as morphs go? She's based off Victoria 7 and doesn't have any geografts or anything. The only oddity is that I do have a couple custom-created x-tools morphs that I use for her (isolated Ophelia 7's legs and Georgia's mouth). 
*edit* Even forcing the conversion fails. :(

Strange.  Can you post the full Daz log (not the abbreviated one in the script dialog)?  Have you tried using the other convert custom scene character script?

Not sure if this helps? -

I haven't tried the scene character script yet. I did try removing the x-tools morphs and those don't appear to be the problem (which is good because most of my characters use stuff tweaked from x-tools).

*edit* The scene character script does appear to work, though I'm not entirely sure how to save that off as a character preset. Or do I just save that as a new shaping preset and then I'm good to go?

*edit #2* The converter finished and the base shape seems pretty close, albeit with some tweaks needed (pretty much the lips need the most tweaking). However the eyes seem off. The area around them is fine...but the eyeballs are weird. Like distorted? I guess? Like the pupils don't sit right in the eyeball or something. And trying base G8 eye set after eye set doesn't seem to help fix the oddness about them. There are wierd reflections, etc that I've never seen when using the same G8 eye textures on out-of-the-box G8 characters. I've attached a couple screenshots. Left is my dial-spun G3 character and right is the conversion before tweaking. I knew the G3 eye textures would need to be replaced, so the conversion is using a G8 texture from Muosso. The smooth shaded screenshot really shows the distorted eyeballs. 

It is saying "Failed to create file path".  I need to see some of the log from BEFORE that message.

Yes, you can save as a character preset.

The eyes are probably a tolerance issue.  Try again with tolerance around 0.02.  (to be faster, it is better that you delete the morphs from My Library (or whatever is your first content directory)/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/VENDOR NAME/PRODUCT NAME.

I managed to transfer Maelwenn's Lydia HD for Victoria 7 (except for the HD morphs) onto G8F. I had gotten her a while ago, but haven't used her until now. I decided to do a test render with her and the Eudora Hair which I transferred to G8F thanks to RiverSoftArt's V4 hair transfer script. (Eudora Hair is basically the older/lighter alternative to Linday's Classic Long Curly Hair with dForce for G8F. I can barely use Linday's hair on my system. ) This first test render I used the trusty Artemis X for Genesis bodysuit.

Test render, with default skin settings and default HDRI. (Eudora hair has ColorWerks applied to it. I used the Look At Me eyes because transfers always have messed up eyeballs.)

Somehow Lydia looks Latina here to me. I could tweak her nose a bit more for her to look more "passing". But yes, this is Lydia and she looks nothing like the "pretty white girl" in the promos. This got me curious and decided to use the same skin and apply it to the shaping preset that's supposed to look like me (an actual Latina.) Used a different hair color, used one of Minto's glasses that look like mine and Aeon Soul's Lyra Outfit for G8F because it's cute.

Personally, I don't feel I need a Latin American base. Especially since my ethicity is so diverse-looking. However, I completely understand people wanting characters like this out of the box. They might not know where to start to properly dial-spin their own "believable" ones. I take this for granted because it's my people, who I was raised with and see everyday. It's a no-brainer for me to whip up one. Still, as long as it adds to the gene-pool, I don't mind if it's different than what I got. The more, the better.

This pic turned out quite nicely, I think. I downloaded the Hivewire Horse again, found the iray shaders and converted the bump map to a normal map. About the foal: Actually I purchased the Kids4 years ago. But I do not have the foal morph, So I cannot tell if it will work with the current morph. But as the shape, especially of the neck area, is quite different, it might be easier to start from scratch.

Your harry centaur looks so natural :)

Pretty much says it in the title. 

I want to be able to morph the Genesis 8 faces and bodies to create unique characters, but I'm not sure which to pick. The ones from DAZ seem okay, but I'm leaning toward something like this: https://www.daz3d.com/ultra-face-morphs-60-essential-faces-for-genesis-8-female

What are your favourites? What do you use? 

Thanks in advance! 

Anyone else have this? It claims to be able to transfer morphs from G3 to G8, but I'm getting an error every time. I'm using the scene script. Thanks in advance.

Haven't done this in a while so lets see if I got it right.

This link https://drive.google.com/open?id=1O-cTB3EKigBV-5_XnRex_1c0J6MK6rAk should take you to my Google drive, the file linked to is a scene subset called Piggy.duf

Download it and stick it in a DS content directory, inside DS load that DUF and if you have everything setup right, DS should start loading assets from all of the mesh and morphs.

It can take a few minutes, but once loaded you should have a naked green piggy, with his horns, helmet, axe and shoulder guards in place.

Clothing I'll leave to you as you will probably need to use Morph Loader on them.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question about converting low poly clothes into somthing with a bit more vertices to work with. I have been able to use the PMX editor for MMD models and export seperate parts of the clothing as OBJ files which I can import into DS easily. I can easily use the transfer utility to fit the clothes to any character. The problem is that if I try to convert to SubD or sub divide the material start showing seperations at the seams and has strange rounded corners in the material. I have tried to use the Imported objects in VWD after fitting with the transfer utility but the object is so low poly that there are many sharp peaks visible after gravity is applied. Any suggestions?

I will certainly make more dinosaurs and creatures and I probably will produce a Battle Rex armor set (sometime in the future) but I'm currently taking a break from dinosaurs because of they do underperform compared to more common products you see in the store. I'm sure my dinosaurs sell very well compared to other dinosaurs but I believe the crowd needing/wanting these products are much smaller. T. rex does the best on sales compared to other dinosaurs and that explains the multiple versions.
 

Hey really cool.... Nice Textures, one question though. The morphs, are they only for the male Trex, I thought it was for both male and female versions? Very cool though very cool

Just for the Male 3.1 morph.

These are looking very inspiring. I've made the purchase and will be installing it later on today. I'll weigh in once I have it avaialble.

It is just an expression from V4.2 Pro Bundle

I liker her face on that last one... did you change her face morph or is it just the expression?

That "Timothy" set looks far more like Christopher Eccleston (Doctor  number 9, or 10 if one factors in the "War Doctor") than Tennant, at least to me.

And though ModernWizard stressed a morph for a "recent" mesh, I still believe what JoeQuick created for Michael 3 is one of the closest Tennant likenesses I've seen.  (But I won't link it unless anyone is genuinely interested.)

Sincerely,

Bill

Until those dforce issues get sorted out - if you're not adverse to using other programs - you can do the simulation in blender or other 3d programs and bring it back into DS . You will have more control over the type of ball and bouncing (e.g. a basketball will bounce differently than, say a beach ball), more control over physics parameters like gravity, friction etc..

You would export out an obj sequence and use either the animMorph script or mcasual's "mcjAnimObjsToMorphs" to import and setup as animated morph sequence in DS . (Because the bouncing ball has the same number of vertices it will work; but something like a particle/fluid simulation typically won't import using this method because of changing vertex count)
