When I got morph names counting up into two digits, for example 12, it's treated as one digit follow up to 1.
Is this issue a "bug" of Daz or is it somehow avoidable?

Click the gear icon on the morph's slider>Parameter Settings, then set the Default Value to 0. Then File>Save As>Support Assets>Morph Assets and resave with the same names for products and author, so they overwrite the original files.

1. Set the expression, and make sure that everything else is zeroed
2. Right-click on the Parametrs pane and set it to Edit Mode (if it isn't)
3. Right-click in the expressions group and select Add Property
4. Enter name and label, adjust settings in the dialogue - at the very least you will probably want to set the minimum value to 0 instead fo -1
5. Set the new property to 100%
6. Right-click on the new property and select ERC Freeze.
7. Check that the right things are listed under Sub-components, unchecck any that shouldn't be there, and click Accept
8. Test your sldier - if it works you can use File>Save As>Support Assets>Morph Asset if you want it available on all instances of the figure, or just save a scene subset or character preset.

@RichardHaseltine EVERYTHING ELSE? Does this mean that it should be a base Genesis 8 (or whatever) with NO morphs whatsoever?

Yes. You can remove other things if needed in the ERC Freeze dialogue (step 7) but it's easy to miss them there so starting with just the relevant sliders set is better.

Please don't leave salient information in the title only - I've edited your post.

The base figure is stil Genesis 8 so all of the standard Genesis 8 morphs will work, though not all will combine in a pleasing manner - just experiment with the sets you have. If you don't already have any the Head (and Body) Morph sets are a good starting point, as they cover the basics with other sets then building on top of that.

Ah, oke thanks Wowie. I also found another problem. When i render to a rib file for use with external 3delight, the exporter breaks after the first transfer to rib.

Then i have to restart Daz studio if i want to transfer to a rib file again. The internal 3delight works fine though.

expression presets more fun when it has thumbnail preview in the parameters tab!

@Mystarra That does sound like more fun, but how's it done?

When I load a Gen 8 Female, sometimes it looks like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith (more so on some characters).  Even the the base G8F has the same sunken cheeks and large lips. Is that normal?  Or did I somehow break my G8F?

Within the DIM, I uninstalled the Essentials for G8 and then reinstalled, but I still get the same looking character.  As the character is loading in the scene, about 1/2 way in the loading pauses for a minute or two.  Is that normal?  Thats why I am wondering if I have a broken file or something.

Attached is a screenshot of what my G8F looks like... does she look ok to you all?

LOL, I thought you were joking but you're not. It looks like maybe you installed a 'Angelina Jolie' freebie morph from somewhere & it's active in the default G8F base. To find out, with the G8F model that looks like that selected in the Scene tab, click on the Parameters tab, and then click on the 'Currently Used' in that to see what morphs are active.

I think this one is pretty moth-like, with the feather antennae and big wings - https://www.daz3d.com/pix-pyrida-hd-and-firefly-outfit-for-genesis-8-females

Would also like to see a prop/morph pack for things like the DAZ Dog and Horse, things like horns, spikes, textures to allow verations.

Thanks Richard, I will try that. I want to save it so I can use it on any character so I don’t want to save the face morph, just the expression. It’s on generic G8 and the one click setting looks good on all characters I tested.

Zev0 was asked about a new dental product, more than a year ago now, and he said something to the effect there wwere already products out there by another vendor, the Easy Teeth series, (G3F, G3M, G8F, and later, G8M.) I'll see if I can dig up the post… (I was one of the ones asking, as I'd prefer Zev0's product.)

I don't much like the default shaders on teeth, myself. I've found applying the "plain soft wax" shader from the Subsurface Workshop - SSS Shaders for Iray is far more realistic, and I can add a touch of color to the Base Color to make them a bit off-white, more like real teeth. You could try adding stains via the Diffuse Overlay.

If you only need the occasional crooked tooth, you could try using dForms with Influence set to Weight Maps. Use the Geometry Editor to select one tooth at 100% weight, and you could then move it around; Paint the weights in one area, and it should work to change the shape.of the tooth. Certainly not as convenient as a product with dials, but no one else would have the same exact teeth! You could even save the resulting morphs as Morph Assets and have them available for all the figures of that base, (ie G8M.)

 

interesting that i already bought the G3M version ...  I like the idea of dforms..i have never done that but it would be a good experience

Probably not this creature...but cooler looking.

The downside is it is a figure instead of a morph.

 

Only reason I haven't bought that yet is because it's a separate figure. It is pretty cool looking! Not the one I was thinking of, but still cool.

They don't really, not in a way that makes a difference. The problem with allignment in morphs is that in certain areas they changes pose accuracy when morph is dialled up, even if the bone rigging look better with allignment. Here is an example (See attachment) Grey is default Genesis 8 dialled up with heavy morph (correct pose) and Blue is heavy morph with allignment added. So you can see how allignment can change pose accuracy. If we enabled allignment with the script, peoples pose results on rigged shapes would be all over the place compared to default shape.  For now we went with accuracy. We had a very long discussion around the issue. In the update we hope to add a feature to only add allignment to areas that need it without changing pose results. It was still being tested that is why it was not added at this stage. Personally, I have never used allignment in rigging and have not had any issues.

You would dial in your custom morph in conjunction with Growing Up morphs and save as a preset. Basically all you are doing is rigging your morph, then dialing it up alongside Growing Up and saving as a character or shape preset. That is how it should be done. So all you do is rig your morph, if it needs rigging.

Thanks, I've picked this up along with GU for G8F ('bout time I moved forward).

Correct me, if I am not right.

Morph Rigger Plus is only for rigging morphs to the existing characters and remove duplicate IDs.

It will not help so much with creating a new characters.

There's an idea for a new product - something similar for JCMs; load in a correctional morph and generate the percentage applied based on current pose (I understand how insanely difficult and convoluted that could get - most JCMs* I've created are manual apply only in very specific circumstances).

Edit: *and technically not JCMs by their very nature...

Anyone else having issue putting hair on characters of the face morph has be added?

like Fishtales said 1.1 is good. Ive used them for years.  But the last 5 years Ive been using Godaddy for domain and hosting . http://www.ivysdomain.com/  I get domain & unlimited storage & data with deluxe hosting package which includes FTP direct access,  SQL and C# Server, SLL and site certificates, a windows or Linux control panel , a c-panal for uploading Mobil apps, my plan also comes with website stats and builtin google webmasters control panel & SEO tools as well.  Godaddy is a little costly for $168 a year.   But for what I get and the reliability  for domain and deluxe hosting with unlimited storage and data transfer. I really could not find much better.   you can get economy options for a lot less money a month at godaddy & they have page builders side bar if you don't know how to build sites by scratch with ftp like with Dreamweaver or inDesign which is what I use..  but the economy options have limits on storage and data transfers if you go lesser than deluxe hosting. .  I use my site mostly so I can exchange huge , very large animation & media graphic data files with clients without lag or upload restrictions that cloud services gave me. plus if uo work with adult content  its much easier having your own site because cloud services have become so presinikity to Adult 3d content . they don't know the difference between 3d and real I guess.. . I also have a gallery I am setting up in jqury that I can post my art on . I already have the animation gallery done.   the best part of owning your own paid for pro site  is that no one is going tell you what you can or can not post for art. :)

Bought on release day haven’t tried it out yet, but the duplicate ids feature definitely seems interesting, now to load my figures and try finding the source of the duplicate ID so I’ll know what morph to dial in :)

Hello!

Just beginning with Hexagon mostly to import some props which does not import well in DAZ, to transfer them. One of my objects fails to be selected, and I get the error message 'exception on before draw'. What does that mean and can I fix it?
