I don’t care for Dwayne base at all but the content in the pro bundle is worth the 30 bucks.

++

I was on the fence, but decided to get the Dwayne pro bundle. I like the hair products, and would be willing to buy them separatly, but getting four toon items, (including Cookie, which I've been waiting for months to get cheaply, not really needing her…,) and bringing the price down to $33 and change madie it worth the cost. (I got three Toonimals, as well, including the Mod Squad bundle.)

I'm not thrilled with the Dwayne 8 Base figure. Those Popeye arms make the body shape less versatile. It's great that FWHP provided a morph with Boris to adjust the proportions, (even if it needs fixing,) but such a morph should have been included with Dwayne. I am happy, however, to get three more toon materials sets. And with a bit of finagling, I can use those materials on G3M as well.

I don't really need any of the clothing sets, but I see lots of kitbashing potential. Except for the Elvis jumpsuit, but I suspect I'll have a lot of fun with that one, regardless!

"edit stupid question can I put a texture I made with SB2 with SB8 and use it for a product for both G3F and G8F?"

 

I'm sure you mean SB3? The hidden rule is, which is not in the merchant resource,

For SkinBuilder 3 you only allowed to sell for Genesis 3 Female characters, but you can include a Genesis 8 character morphs set where the skins are shared, that is allowed. But NO Genesis 8 Female  Standalone character is allowed for sale using Skin Builder 3. For SkinBuilder 8, same rule applies, you can include a Genesis 3 Female character morph version, But NO standalone Genesis 3 Female  character is allowed for sale using Skin Builder 8. The native figure for the respective Merchant resources must be present. Hope that makes sense.

So if we own both SB3 and SB8, can we make native characters for both G3F and G8F and sell them together in one product? Or do we need to sell them as separate products? Does it matter?

I'm trying to use GenX2 for the first time. I have the genx window open. From the source, I select Genesis 2 Male. I then go the content pane and find the charcter I want to transfer from  G2M to G3M. I drag the icon for applying the head onto the transfer tab. Then I set select button to transfer non-zero morphs and then I run it and fill out the name etc.Then I repeat this for the body. Then I close and restart Daz Studio. I load G3M and locate the shaping morphs that were created, but when I dial them up, the head seems to change some (so maybe it is working), but the body morph doesn't seem to do anything. Does draging the icon for loading the morphs on to the transfer tab active the morphs in GenX or do you have to check them manually?

I allso tried loading the character into my scene and then running Genx2 and telling to use the option for the figure in the scene. So I think that should create a full body morph to the head and the figure, but again the shaping morph that gets created does nothing. It changes neither the head or the body. So I must be missing a step somewhere.

Also is there away to delete the shaping morphs that I have created that do nothing.

I also noticed that when I select G2M as the source, that if I look at morphs that are loaded into GenX2 that many of my characters are listed under the actor folder (I think), so does that mean if you want to transfer them that you stil have to load them by dragging the icon on to the transfer tab, or do you just select them in the Genx2 window. For example, I see Ash listed under source when G2M has been selected. I think there was one enter for Ash....character and two that said Ash body. I tried selected the Ash chaaracter, and clicking transfer, but it give a warning that it contains no morphs.

Thanks

 

I can not find the quilting morph ? where can I find it 

 

I am setting up a new library and currently still have the old one. I would like to be able to just transfer all my Genesis stuff to the new library and not the poser runtime stuff. I have very old poser stuff that I don't use and don't want included in my new library. Does anyone know which files I can move to just get my Genesis products moved to my new library?

I may be missing something, but seems to me there are better ways to transfer both morphs and textures.

I would just like a classically handsome man 30-ish. (In real life too!) Like a young Robert Redford or Nathan Fillion or even a young Edward 8. Also an M4 for G8. M4 was the last Daz Original male I actually found attractive. I can morph handsome guys myself off the base G8 with all the morphs I have, but it would be nice to have a handsome masuline base to start with. Sorry, I just don't find any of the DO G8 males attractive at all except Edward (as Bond) who is in an older age range...  There are tons of beautiful female characters in the market but I rarely see male characters that I find attractive. Those hot girls need hot guys! I'd be curious to see if Mousso could create males in the style of his/her(?) stunning women! 

here ya go using facegen I added michael 4 face onto michael 8 hd

@ANGELREAPER1972, that looks great.  I can't ever get a face that good

thanks. opens up a lot of options actually using facegen can reuse a lot of my old skins/characters on the newer bases plus can do profile side renders which is hard to find photos of usually make do with frontal pics only but when you have side renders to use as well it makes the differance 

If you are using Poser Pro,  select the clothing item and conform to the figure.  Then under Figure>Copy Morphs From, select the morphs wish to transfer to the clothing.
If you don't have Poser Pro, there is a utility at Renderosity called "Morphing Clothes" that does the same thing...

I am still rather confused as to why I can find some stuff in the content library that I cannot find in the smart content library. I have done many things scan known directory, re-import metadata etc yet it remains in content where I have to search and dig for miles to find it and it ignores the smart content library entirely. Is there a way to transfer everything in content to smart content or is this just a thing that will persist through time and I have to deal with it?

I am curious. I hope the boots can be removed.

 

Edit: the description says there is a no boots morph so I suspect the boots can be removed

i remember single acis scaling problems in poser
the kid4 toddler morph didnt work

poser having any better luck with Genesis 8?

It's a full character with mats:

• Cain for Genesis 3 and 8 Male: (.DUF)
  • Cain FULL Character Preset
  • Cain Head Apply/Remove
  • Cain Body Apply/Remove
  • Cain MAT (Iray)
  • Cain Eyes 01
  • Cain Eyes 02
  • Cain Eyes 03
  • Cain Eyes 04
  • Cain Eyes 05
• Textures Include:
  • 31 Texture, Base, Specular, Bump, and Scatter Maps (2048 x 2048 to 4096 x 4096)
• Daz Studio Iray Material Presets (.DUF)

BUT according to the file list it doesn't have any gen mats, and it doesn't say anythin about a head morph: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/53169/file_list

(If you have X-Morph, you could of course simply split up the morph.)

BeeMKay - Cain does include a seperate head morph AND body morph.  Something went wrong with the installation files if you don't see them.  I am reaching out to DAZ to find out what went wrong.

 

Today I purchased Cain and installed it with DIM, the Head Morph dial is still missing.

I retried with Daz Connect, it's still missing.

 

Package date: June 07, 2018

I originally mentioned this to the PA and was told there was definitely a seperate head morph (see my earlier post) but the update didn't produce a separate head morph. This still needs fixing.

FYI, after some testing, that slider is specific to Boris (found it after I installed him)  and probably should have been a hidden slider. Adjusting it on any character (including Boris) breaks the hands, only evident after you attempt to pose the figure. In the A pose, it LOOKS like it's adjusting the proportions, but it's really setting up the default Dwayne shape for Boris proportions.

That sounds like the same issue I'm having. I bet it's a bug.

EDIT: Ticket started.

It looks like it just was accidentally not given an ERC freeze. Until they fix it you can use it by doing a quick rigging adjust after applying it. (Apply the morph, select the figure, then go to Edit >> Figure >> Rigging >> Adjust Rigging to Shape.)

I picked up Dwayne, and the scaling in the body morph is very difficult to be positive about. I understand the scaling in the full character preset, but if I want to dial a little of the body, I should be able to without the morph changing my character's height.

Thanks Wendy, yes, I left Blender off the list by accident but I have a similiar experience with it - a nightmare interface. Like it was put together by hundreds of different people with differing ideas - which is pretty much the case. Great open source project but I need something clean, simple, intuitive, powerful enough and visually based - Carrara really. 

Has anyone imported carrara files to Blender with any success? It might be useful in that case as a way to transfer files to another program. 

Give Blender 2.8 another chance when it arrives, probably in Q4. Its a huge update. Amongst others they are redoing the interface, and it will come with a Blender 101 interface persona, making it fall in line with other packages.

Current Blender has a steep curve, but it tops of at a certain point, and from there it gets easier. You’ll have an aha moment and it starts making sense. But the criticism of the current interface is valid. It relies a ton on keyboard shortcuts and thats a starters nightmare.

 

I actually love everything in the Pro Bundle, but Toon Dwayne 8 himself. >_<

Ditto.  For a male toon, i'd rather have had a sexy anime character.  I can't say I wanted a popeye looking character, but I got him just the same.

Double ditto.  Why can't we have a bishounen anime character?

I like a bunch of items in the bundle, but I'm kinda worried that buying the bundle will encourage DAZ to make another Dwayne figure.  The mouth has a weird twist, the height is bizarre, the upper arms are way too short and those Popeye forearms and hands make me shudder.  The dial to tone down the arms doesn't put the arms back to normal.  Even on Brandon, the arms are still way too off.  (I like Brandon otherwise, but the arms don't work.  Maybe using some of Dwayne's head morph along with Brandon will work?)

I was one of the many thinking Dwayne was going to be Dwayne the Rock not Dwayne the Toon.  Dwayne the Rock would have been bought and downloaded about 8 seconds after I saw the figure.

Sigh.
