question about creating clothes
Did you use a morph to get the T pose or did you literally pose the figure? Reverse Deformations won't help with the latter, but you can use Bake rotations to make the system think that the T pose is zeroed and rig from that, then repose to go back to the regular pose and bake the clothing's rotations to get a version that fits the egular figure. In gernal working on the true default pose will be easier.
question about creating clothesYes it is best to model against the base character in default pose.
With your t-shirt you can in Transfer Utility set shape to current for character, and tick Reverse Source Shape from target (clicking More...)
question about creating clothesThank you very much! I tried, but it doesn't work correctly. In fact, since it was simplier to create the cloth from a T-posed character, I posed the G8M in T before importing it into Blender. Then, I created the cloth with a T-pose, and imported it into DS, still having my G8M in T-pose:
ose:I don't know if it can explain the issue that I am encountering, but when I use Transfer Utility, I get that:

Was it a mistake to use the T-pose to create the cloth? Is it better to use the default pose?
Thank you in advance!
question about creating clothesdForce is a physics system, so you need to simulate it in order to see the results. If you don't already have it open, open up the Simulation tab and hit Simulate. If you want the clothing to follow the figure while you're posing it, what you want is rigging, not dForce, and you should look into the Transfer Utility.
How to save new character morphs?Hi! I just noticed that my slider controlling the head and body appears only in the parameter pane:

But it is not available in the shaping pane:

I don't understand because the head and body morphs correctly appear in the shaping pane:

Is it possible to make the slider available in the shaping pane? I already bsaved this slider as a morph asset, could it be a problem to do that?
Edit:
Hi again! I am realizing that I have also an issue on the Avija Wing slider that I created before. Here is what I obtain on the character that I used to create the wing slider:


And Here is what I obtain after loading a new G8M and new AV wings, and applying the same slider that I created on the first one:


I applied the same slider, the morph values seem to be the same, but the actaul wing shaoe is not the same...
When I tried to dial the same morph values to the without using the slider, the shape become the same, so, it looks the the issue comes from the slider but I don't understand why. I just saved the slider by Save As -> Support Asset -> Morph Asset, I don't understand why I don't obtain the same shape on other AV Wings... Could you help me, please?
Furthermore, I don't know if it can due to the same issue, but it seems that the material isn't completly applied the my first AV wings (the ones that I used to create the slider):

I just applied the black material as I did before, but, now, it isn't correcly applied, while it is still correcly applied on other AV wings... So, on my forst AV wings, the slider works correctly but not the material, and on new AV wings, the slider doesn't work correctly but the material does...
Thank you in advance for your help!
How to create eyelashes correctly?felis said:
I can't make out what the images show.
But have you done transfer riiging to your eyelashes?
I used transfer utility standard settings.
Now I'm thinking of making a Geograft out of eyelashes. so that the edges always match.
Tell me, is this a good idea?
Will there be problems when I subdivide the model?

I see what is happening now....
It's seems that once the transfer happens. The slider that is created is set to 100%
But this exagerates the result.
If I dial the slider back to 50% and increase the scale... I get a better reppresentation of the original character.
See Image 1
This could be... because the generated character combines a couple attributes to a single slider...
The original character contains a Guy 7 body and a Guy 7 slider
See image 2
The generated character only has the guy 7 body slider... not the Guy 7 slider...
If the new charcter slider is set at 100% the result is extreme... 50 % seems to be good with a few tweeks to the scale ... as seen in image 1

The Guy slider is just a control slider; it dials in the morphs (head and body) of Guy all at once (and scale BTW though it looks like you mostly turned it off). I think that might be what is confusing the script is the scale and the negative height are combining to give you the height of the character, and it is getting them wrong somehow.
Smooth Out BumpI tried smoothing out the bumps on her bum with Blender. When I apply the suit morph in Daz, it doesn't work properly.

Missing Toes With dForce Twilight OutfitNorthOf45 said:
The shoes use a geograft to hide unwanted polygons, in this case the toes, so that the user does not have to squeeze them inside the shoes everytime. It's easier than making a morph to make them fit. The thing is, it seems once the targeted faces are included in the autohide for the graft with the shoes, they can't just be removed. Some polygon somewhere on G8F must be sacrificed in their place. So, let's start with loading the shoes onto G8F.
Find a polygon somewhere on G8F that will not be missed, like maybe the back of the tongue or throat, or some area that will always be covered. With the Geometry Editor Tool, select that polygon. Right-click, navigate to "Geometry Assignment" and select "Set Graft Faces for Attachment..." and then repeat for "Set Auto-Hide Faces for Attachment..."
This will set the new polygon as the one to be auto-hidden when the shoes are worn. (The hidden polygons are stored in the shoes, not G8F, so unless you save the shoe geometry, the hidden faces will revert to the original, i.e., the toes, if you remove them and add them in again). Normally the workflow is to save the modifications and reload it (Save As... -> Support Asset -> Save Modified Assets... *WARNING* this will overwrite the original geometry file and cannot be undone, but you can always re-install). If you want to see the results immediately (if only to check if it works), right-click again, navigate to "Geometry Visibility" and select "Show All Polygons". This should toggle the original hidden toe polygons ON, and hide the new selected "graft faces for attachment". You can proceed to try to squeeze the now-visible toes inside the shoes...
(I hope I got that right. I had to go through it a couple of times to get it all)
Another option is to actually edit the geometry file to remove the graft section, but that is unknown territory for me. Could be tricky, or it could be as simple as deleting one section of data.
Thank you! This did the trick.

Help with fixing a geometry issueTo fix any ill-behaving (non-zero default value) morphs, do as follows;
1. Open DS and load "Genesis 8 Basic Female" (to an empty scene)
2. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Preferences->Choose "Show Hidden Properties" (part 3 zeroes only 'visible' dials)
3. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Zero->Zero Figure (Zeroes the value of all the 'visible' dials)
4. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Memorize->Memorize Figure (Sets the current value of all the dials as their default value)
5. File->Save As->Support Asset->Save Modified Assets (Writes the changed default value to the morph files that were changed)When saving "Modified Assets" DS shows a dialog and asks for confirmation;

It looks like you have an Big Girl unupdated morph installed.
Go to paramaters, and in setting enable 'show hidden', and then with the character selected in the scene tab, in Parameters click 'Currently used'.
One of the shown morphs is the culprit.
The image I uploaded was a base G8 female with no morphs applied to it; It has this problem out of the box. If you load a base female or male into the scene, spread the leges and bend them at the thights, you will see the same result.
It does not matter that you load a base figure, you can still have some rogue morphs applied - Just follow the advice given
Okay guys I followed the instructions above and this is what I got, see pic. I'm not sure what I'm looking for here; do you guys see anything that's out of place?
Since you've posed the figure, there must be hidden corrective morph properties shown... You need to tick "Show Hidden Properties..." in the hamburger menu (upper left corner - Preferences).

How Do I Make Character Models?Diomede said:
3) Simplest - Using Existing Morphs (and purchases) to Shape Character
Just in case you are looking for something simpler, the following video shows how to change a Daz figure shape with Daz's premade morphs. You don't have to make your own.
Good luck, and hope to see you around the forums.
..this is the process I use. It also helps to have various other content besides just characters, like merchant and morph resource kits as well as transfer and conversion utilities.
[Released] ManFriday’s Figure Converter for Genesis 9 [Commercial]Ok looks like it works now.
It creates the error message on my system when trying to convert the default G8 figure with the body in a clean state (only default morphs). The G8 figure requires a morph applied to the body/face for it to work. A morph on the eyes alone doesn't work.How to use hair on another character?This hair is from Poser and for M4. It's a sort of Parametric Prop which has no Prop Asset in data folder. If you want to save any morph asset on it in DS, you have to 1st of all save it as a Figure / Prop asset.
