Some of the items marked as issues are part of the design.

• The Thumb Web morph is supposed to affect both hands as it make the hands more realistic.
• The rotate and scale of certain joints are designed to adjust the joints for more realism.

Posting links to another (legitimate) store to answer a "where can I find..." query is generally ok.

Thanks for the information Leana! And nice suggestions for the lightning effects.

I was thinking it might work to get EMS3D Bixie Tinkerbit HD for Genesis 9, give her some age appropriate clothes and hair, and add some wrinkles (you can get them in lots of different morph packs).  For some reason that particular character reminded me of the style of the picture you posted, if not quite the right age.

Your render settings are whats causing this imo. You are not letting it fully render so everything looks cloudy/blurry/noisey instead of detailed. 

 

Looking at that design in your render.. Im guessing it is "Style 7" "Blue 2"

I just did a quick render .. this isnt even a real render.. this is a screen shot from the viewport:

All of my settings are attached. Also, if you are rendering this at sub d 4.. do you have the iris morph dialed in?

Crap.  I thought when you selected the color, it automatically set the style dial based on the color you selected (eg if you applied style 1 blue 1 it applied the style 1 slider as well).  I always figured this was an idiot behind the keyboard issue, but that made a world of difference after I matched your settings and tested with style 7 blue 2.  Upping SSS helped as well.  I didn't even need 15,000 iterations to see it...it was already better after just the denoise finished.

Thank you so much!

That looks like Kali outfit for V4, which is not for sale anymore.

It was sold at RDNA long ago but never got transfered to Daz when they bought RDNA.

I thought it was but wasn't finding any information to confirm. I suspect it didn't transfer as it was a bit risqué for Daz (pre-the mature content filter).

Thank you so very much for this script!!!

I have made a gazebo in Meshy AI.  It has columns all around.  Meshy did NOT get the area in between the columns the same size.

I wanted to put some iron type deco in between the columns.  I used your script to make a morph!!!

Wow!!!

Don't you have the scale tool (Alt-Shift-S) around the center of your upper icon-list?
If you activate the arm you can simply scale it in the Viewport or the Parameter tab. I do not think this is an addon-morph you need to buy.

Between all my mophs I have nothing to adjust upper / forearm length individually, any way to do that, or is there a morph pack that does it?

Can I offer a suggestion to PAs? If you're product looks like athletic wear, perhaps include some poses in the shop with the clothing being used athletically. I'll probably cart this eventually. But the shop pics are uninspiring and mostly uniformative. Solid colors don't need to be demonstrated.

The text mentions a "Lap Area" morph. What does it do? Give me something to excite me.

This one looks close IMO:  https://www.daz3d.com/mb-cheriss-hd-for-genesis-9-feminine

I tried to do a quick mod using the morph packages I have, plus replaced the brows.

I just purchased the Mesh grabber bundle, but there are some problems, apparently they are present in the product library, but Mesh grabber and Morph editor only have the possibility of manual installation, the file for IM is missing, while for the Mesh grabber rotation add-on there is no file to download, neither manually nor for IM. :(

That probably needs a ticket, though you could give it a day or so to see if it was just a passing glitch (or if others have the same issue).

I just checked and it hasn't been resolved, I'll wait a little longer, a few hours, then I'll open a ticket.

 

 Same here. I bought them in 2019-2020 (before there was a bundle) and see the same situation regarding downloads. Only Manual .exe for Mesh Grabber and Morph Editor, nothing for Rotations.

I'm seeing the same problem in my Product Library - I bought the set in 2020 so it's not just a recent purchase glitch.

That looks like an issue with a character or shape having an adjustment to keep the foot bones aligned with its shape, but the adjustment is being applied even when it isn't needed. Have you recently installed any new characters or morph sets?

I've just installed DAZ Studio 6 and as expected it installs alongside my existing DAZ Studio 4.24 installation rather than replacing it.

Before I spend time setting everything up again, I'd like to know if anyone has successfully migrated their custom settings from 4.24 to DS6, and what the recommended approach is.

I'm mainly interested in preserving:

Custom workspace/layout (pane and tab arrangement)
Customized toolbars
Custom actions and buttons
Keyboard shortcuts
General UI preferences and customization

Is there an official or recommended way to transfer these settings to DS6? Is exporting/importing a workspace enough, or do I need to manually copy specific configuration files?

If you've already gone through this process, I'd really appreciate any advice, best practices, or step-by-step instructions.

Thanks in advance!
Martha

You likely have installed a character with a morph mistakenly saved with a non-zero default value, so it is applied automatically to all G9 figures.

In order to identify that morph, you can try this:

• load the base G9 in an empty scene, and select it
• zero the figure, and confirm that you actually want to zero it (ie set all values to zero) and not restore it (set all values back to to default)
• check the "currently used" section in the parameters tab: you should see all parameters which have a value different from default there. As the faulty morph has a non-zero value but is currently set to 0 it should appear there.

Once you know which morph it is, check if there's an update for the character, it might have been fixed. If not it's possible to edit the morph settings yourself to fix the default value.
