It was the fact some bone names were the same & some different and a happy accident and allowed me to wrongly apply a V3 pose to G8F, and have a lightbulb moment that resulted in pose transfer scripts between generations. I'd never thought of changing bone the names in the pose file before applying them. Interesting idea.

Party meeting at the pool

...desperate, the aliens showed up with the full might of thier fleet, ready to subjegate or destroy any who stood in their way.   But, when the humans realized that the aliens were primarily aquatic, and the aliens realized that, although Earth is a water planet, its dominant intelligent lifeform was primarily terrestrial some quick negotiating happened and the aliens just - moved in.

Afterwards, the two races began a much more mutualistic cultural and technological exchange, and while there were certainly some adustments (like getting used to pools being open year round and important meetings being held in them), pretty much everyone involved had to agree it all worked out really well.

Genesis, as opposed to previous figures, places all the morph data in the main body.

Morphs in sub-nodes, are "alias" dials.

The G8M version lacks these "alias" morphs, so they won't apear in the head.

Unfortunately, the only way to correct this porblem is to create your own Alias morphs.

This can be accomplished by using the "Property Hierarchy" pane, or by copying and editing the appropriate sections from the original DSF files and creating new dsfs.

not a schoolkid in sight

pretty cool showcase of your modeling skills nonetheless 

thanks Wendy, the building is a model of my old high school, it's been demolished now ( about 1977 I think it was ). Year 7 was the top, my room was on the left Room 4 and in year 8 the bottom just left of middle was my room, Room 2.  I was there in '71 & '72 then we automagically wuld transfer to a bigger college in a totally different area of Wollongong to start year 9 and onwards.

The coat in today's new Ergou bundle, dForce EG Fashion Coat for Genesis 9 , displays what clearly appear to be "open" and "reveal shoulders" morphs in the product pictures... in fact, I can't think of any other reason for those images except to display those, but there are no morphs at all listed in the product description AND, as happens all too often these days, the readme link goes to a dead page. Is there anyway to confirm whether these morphs are actually included with the product?  

@Cybersox There are two styles of coats (single row and double row of buttons) and each version has those reveal morphs. I believe all 6 "adjust shape" morphs are pictured in the promotional renders. Three reveal more cleavage and mid body, one opens the coat completely and there is one to expose the right shoulder and one to expose the left.

Thank so much!  I figured that it probably had them, but one never knows and I found it really strange that a PA would go to all of the trouble to add those morphs and even have image of them, but then not mention them in the description or even include a morph list...  And, of course, that's assuming that the problem was on the PA's side at all given the also missing read me.  

Good you got it working on another character.

You should be able to apply any morph to a character of the same generation.

Regarding your video, you should just have copied the body surface, but it worked because Breasticular also uses Body surface. But it looks like there is a tiling problem.

I just tried it with another character and it works fine. Maybe there's a trick I can use by activating the morph on my original character and deactivating the morph on the character that works?

Phoenix1966 said:

All those named characters do not have their joint corrective morphs tied to their specific characters' bodies. So they fire whenever you use any G9. You can uninstall them(the problematic characters) from your library and/or file tickets with Daz support to get those character products updated.

I filed a ticket recently on Beverly 9, was told they knew there was an issue and support closed my ticket. So your mileage may vary regarding fixes.

You can also go through the process of fixing them yourself(where you add the specific character's body to the cbs 2nd controller).

Hi, first of all, love every single one of your products (it needs to be said and repeated). There's an issue with Beverly 9, though: the JCMs trigger even when she's at 0%. I've uninstalled her for the moment, but she's a really nice shape to add to the genepool, and I would like to know if there's a fix planned. Thanks for everything!

Hello! As you may have noticed, Beverly 9 includes many JCMs, so I’ll need to ask which specific JCM you’re referring to. I haven’t been able to reproduce any issue, and no problems were found during the testing phase either, which I can assure you was carried out thoroughly. Therefore, I believe that if the defect exists, it may have arisen during the upload process to the store or as a result of some package update.

If, on the other hand, you’re referring to the parameters labeled KEY and are concerned that they remain active even when Beverly’s morphs are disabled, please note that these are neither JCMs nor do they contain any morph data. The KEY parameters simply convert the numeric rotation values of the limbs into values ranging from 0 to 1. That’s all they do. At the same time, the JCMs that use these KEY values already include an internal multiplicative control that activates only when Beverly’s body or head morphs are enabled. So if that’s your concern, you can rest assured. 

Multiplicative controls were not added to the KEY parameters themselves in order to avoid introducing redundant constraints, which could slow down character animation or, in worse cases, create conflicts.

Anyway, thank you for bringing it to my attention, and for you appreciation too ;)

Could it be a Darofish morph from this set, https://www.daz3d.com/hfs-fantasy-shapes-for-genesis-3-bundle?

Thank you for the prompt response, and for the possible workaround. I have just a couple of further questions: if I do use another machine to do the conversion, how would I then transfer the metadata back to my main computer? The way that the batch converter makes new G9 pose products is great and I would like to keep that benefit. The other question is more of a tangent: I have experienced a lot of lagging when posing G9, and now I'm wondering if there's anything that a huge library may contribute to that. Would using turbo loader be recommended? Also, just a side note: there are a few complaints about how the PA ATrillionGames makes posing products that rely on scripts rather than pose files. Batch converter has been perfect to get the actual pose files out of these products.

I could have sworn that I purchased a tiger, lion or cat morph or shader for G3 but I can't seem to find it. 

I am not sure what you mean - compatibility settings have nothing to do wiith how a character looks, and theya re what drives the Filter By Context feature which you say is working. I suspect that you may have mis-idnetified the issue (if all Genesis 8 Male figures load looking like a creature that sounds like a morph saved with a non-zero default).

Diffeomorphic will import the uv sets available in your scene, if they're used in any material. While in daz studio you see all the uv sets available for the figure that you installed, as uv sets for custom characters for example. If you want a specific uv set to be imported just use it in any material. It wouldn't make sense to import all the uv sets available if they're not used. For example G3 figures get a separate uv set for every custom character, G8 less but still.

p.s. Of course as an alternative you can always export a uv set in obj format, then load it in blender.

object > transfer > uv map

So after an extensive amount of debugging done with 3 different AI chat bots (no, I don't use I for my art - just tech problems), I finally found the issue. Essentially, Turbo Loader had somehow cause my JP Sandor figures to point to the wrong URL. JP Sandor actually has two .dsf files: the one in the old standard definition folder for the character and the one in the newer HD folder ("JP Sandor" and "JP Sandor HD" respectively). Both of those .dsf files are still called "JP Sandor HD," though. So I guess when Turbo Loader reset my morphs, it changed the URL of that .dsf file. Anyway, after uncompressing all my scene files using the Batch Convert pane in Daz Studio, I ran the following script (I saved this as a .dsa file and then opened that file in Daz Studio) to edit each of the .duf files to update the bad URL to the correct one:

// DAZ Studio version 4.24.0.4 filetype DAZ Script

// JP Sandor HD URL Repair Script
// Top-level folder only. No subfolders. URL replacement only.

var ROOT_FOLDER = "C:/SCENE_FOLDER_PLACEHOLDER"; // replace with your folder containing scenes

var BAD_URL = "/data/Daz%203D/Genesis%209/Base/Morphs/Jepe/JP%20Sandor/JP%20Sandor%20HD.dsf#JP%20Sandor%20HD";
var GOOD_URL = "/data/Daz%203D/Genesis%209/Base/Morphs/Jepe/JP%20Sandor%20HD/JP%20Sandor%20HD.dsf#JP%20Sandor%20HD-0xa95d2eb";

Obviously, if someone came across this error in the future, they would have to find the bad/good URLs for their individual morph, but I thought I would post this here just in case someone found it useful.

Try unistalling recent installed content until the error goes away, odds are a character or morph pack has a "bricked" file.

It seems that a selection of Plugins have deregistered themselves in my Daz Premier, they are,

Ultimate Zero used to be my go to. But it's a bit too powerful. These days I only use it when I have a weird morph I can't track down. It will find it.
