I learned some basic Unity a bit ago.. I found it and Daz share a lot of simiilar interface designs.  I found it very easy to transfer my Daz knowledge to Unity, so perhaps the reverse is true.

Thanks. I tried Current, but the same problem...the clothing exploded.

The problem with selecting the morph I used is that it's a bunch of morphs I dialed manually, not just one. 

I even tried zeroing the clothing shape after fitting it to the character, but that didn't work. Neither did "Clear Generated Morphs". 

Any other ideas? Thanks much.

In Transfer Utility set the Source Shape to the morph you used (or Current, but people have reproted an issue with that). Then in the options check reverse Source Shape from Target.

Well now I've got my final clothing, all rigged via the Transfer Utility, sitting on my morphed character, and it looks fine. It's just not fitted to the character. HOWEVER, as soon as I fit the clothing to the character, the clothing inherits the character morphs and explodes. I guess it adds the character morphs to the existing morphed shape.

So I guess the question is...is there some way to Fit clothing to a character without having it inherit the character's morphs? That would fix my immediate problem

Thanks.

Okay, I successfully exported a MORPHED G3 character out of DAZ Studio as OBJ, brought it into Blender, made a clothing object and did a nice cloth sim on it, then exported as an OBJ. Keep in mind I built the clothing over a morphed character, not the base character.

Now I brought it into Studio and it fit perfectly on the morphed character. I then did the Transfer Utility to automatically rig the clothing (selected to fit to character as a post operation), but the result was a mess. It looked like the clothing had double morphs applied or something.

So I then tried to first zero the character shape, apply Transfer Utility, and then restore the character shape, but again the clothing was grossly distorted.

I'm guessing that the Transfer Utility doesn't like that I'm applying clothing that's already morphed. But the problem is that I need to do a cloth sim over the final morphed character, otherwise it doesn't look right.

Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Maybe I need to make two cloth-sim'ed clothing objects...one over the base character, then one over the morphed character, and then do a Transfer Utility with the base clothing and load the morphed clothing as a morph target? Or is there an easier way?

Thanks.

Older Jennifer Connolley tweaks:

First get Andromeda byMRL

OLD JENNIFER CONNOLLEY-

Some of the settings  are a little goofy because this was a work in progress from a year ago.

Like why even have a “heavy” body setting if I’m just taking it away again with a high “Thin” setting?

I don’t know.

This makes a FANTASTIC Wonder Woman, by the way.

ANYBODY WHO TRIES THIS, LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKED!

Hi everybody! Here are my Jenniffer Connolley tweaks I sent to a nice fellow who sent me a message, but I forgot to share them with the group.

Did I forget? I backtracked and couldn't find it.

First get MRL Andromeda

All I did was make the face more fleshy, turn the nose up, and provide an expression which helps with shaping. The mouth doesn't need to be open.

After observing young Jennifer, her mouth is often slightly open and she has a blank look which translates to sweet and innocent.

The expression tends to make the mouth a little smaller, and the nose might be a little wider in the tip and nostril area. I hope I got that in.

Tweaks for young Jennifer:

Make sure you have DAZ Morphs ++ and MRL Andromeda morph applied. I'm not sure how urgent that one is, but do it anyway.

I used DAZ Long Story hair, but you might have better idea.

Nose flesh full .580

Face full .580

Nose tip up/down .848

Expression:

Brow up-down .212

Brow outer up-down .560

Brow inner up-down -.482

Eyes squint .440

Mouth open .552

Lips part .660

Lip top up-down .448

I hope this works. I've never done this before.

Old Jennifer is also a must-have, and I'll get to it right away.

MRL Andromeda provides some expressions, but haven't used

ALMOST FORGOT!

Part 2, body tweaks-

Not usually useful if the body is clothed.

Young .228

Voluptuous .492

Heavy .236

DAZ Natural Gravity Morphs for V4 could come in handy.

Okay, back again. The problem I was having was in the rigging; it didn't manifest until I tried to "fit to" Victoria 7. The 7cm displacement was essentially due to a slight head height difference between G3M and G3F present in the rigging. When I tried to transfer the rigging from my original model to the G3F version, it shifted the hair from the modeled position to the G3M head position. Which meant that I had to re-rig from scratch. I'll also have to make adjustments to the morphs created for the G3M version, when I transfer them, next. 

Until then, here's the rigged female version: 

@Ikyoto:

The Noir-line shaders were envisioned as suitable to apply across one's whole scene, or in front of a relatively plain backdrop.  Unfortunately, they're rather resource-heavy and thus it becomes prohibitive to use them for complex or detailed renders.  There's also a bug in the Specular Color and Refractive Color so that they do not transfer properly from "standard" shaders (DAZ Default Material, UberSurface, Iray Uber, et c...) which I hope to fix this year.  If you'd like color-and-style presets more specific than those in the original package, I have several that just haven't made it into the store, and one set I had taken down after a wheezingly bad year.  And, of course, there's the updated versions that I haven't released to QA yet...

A little something just for fun today. Super quickie neomorph.

Where can I purchase this morph?  ;)

A shaping preset would work, if you go through the options menu and first unceck all, then check only the groups with head shaping morphs - as long as you aren't wanting to split the effect of a single existing morph.

Is there a way to transfer JUST head or face morphs?

I created a face on a character with the https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-female-head-morphs and am hoping there's an easy way to move the result to different character with body slider morphs I've already made.

Thanks in advance :)

One of the biggest slow downs in workflow is smoothing modifier when trying to pose figures. The way around this is to disable smoothing > pose then enable and wait for the smoothnig process to finish which can also take a while. If you have to pose multiple figures it slows things down more. If you have multiple smooth elements with collision like Clothes and sitting impressions on a couch you get recursive loops of smoothing that never end.

The solution would be to export the smoothed figure and then bring it back in through the morph loader but that takes too much time because you have to make the whole scnene invisble except for that one figure and export it as obj. Then you have to repeat this with multiple figures. If you try doing animation problem is worse.

What I want is a script or feature that just turns the results of smoothing into a morph, where you click on the script or button and a morph is created, smoothing is then set back to 0, baking the results into that morph.

Here's the Iray Glassworx again, I posted this in the Commons but will put it here too. The floor materials are irregular looking when you use the glass shader, which I really like (it's not render noise.)  The product also did the back wall, default load. You can tile to get it to have smaller squares.

 We talked about the Digital Touch characters looking a lot alike, so to be fair, I wanted to take a very close look and then pick ONE to try. For me, it was a toss up between DT-Cindy For Genesis 3 Female(s)  (shown below)  or  Eve  based on the thicker, slightly more natural eyebrows. Cindy has poofier lips, but they can be slimmed easily with the morph sliders. Yolanda has nice lips and more natural eyebrows (where they start, more individual lines) and I would simply turn the nose tip and nostrils down (I don't like noses where the nostrils are really prominent.) 

Shopped for four years, and I will admit it's my first Digital Touch female, I think it backfired on the vendor to have all the women in dark hair to look alike. They look TOO much alike IMO. This is Cindy and I shrank the bottom lip 14%, and I like her! Her materials aren't ultra ruddy, they are easily lit. It's Sapphire Hair and the chaise is included in the Bella Donna Poses, Chaise, and Shaders   The pose is from that product also. It's really nice, one click and she's on the chaise and in position. (Both the pose and the chaise load World Center.) 

I'll do a closeup of Cindy, then I'm headed to the barn (It's 6:15 and a lovely day, nice and cool at this time of day.)

Yes those step have been used, (And I know it work)  though I usually save as clone about current mix morphed shape when I use reverse defomation option, (because Clone have no concern about scale proplem etc, and find it easy ,when you aplly "soruce as clone" option. it may not  different from your way,   make one " temp FBM"  for TU.

 I usually model  clothing first for zero shape figure, then keep the clothing obj in my 3d aprication,  later make it fit to my actor shape, sometimes you may hope to overwrite auto-generated morph individually.

Then it has been recommeded for long time, even though we model clothing for morphed shape, at first  transfer weight and rig to  clothing with  zero base figure. not morphed figure. Though there is auto-reverse option,  most of case we need to re-modify and tweak a little for zero base shape. (because auto-reverse process not work perfect, it aproximately reverse and remove generated morph from Clothing to zero shape)

 I really like merge many morphs for body or head , then usually I hope to re-shape  clothing for each actor shape . then may not plan start with morphed shape, without I concentrate one actor shape, and hope to make best fit item for the Actor.  (but I  tweak body morphs frequently,,,,)

https://www.daz3d.com/easy-teeth-for-genesis-3-female-s-and-merchant-resource

The teeth of humans never look exactly the same.

Give your Genesis 3 Female based characters some more individuality with adjusting the shape and look of their teeth. 
This morph pack contains 162 morphs to adjust the shape and position of the teeth. You can adjust each tooth individually. Make them wider/smaller, longer/shorter, adjust the depth or make the tooth or several/all teeth completely gone to get a gap or loosen the teeth step-less. Great for elderly men, younger kids with tooth gaps or any other situation where a missing or loose tooth or teeth is needed. You can also move and rotate the upper incisors, lateral incisors and canines. 
Included are also morphs for all teeth, like one to get childish milk teeth. Children's teeth do not look like adult ones, so this is very handy for younger characters. Morphs to make the teeth irregular are included beside morphs to make the lower and upper canines sharp (nice for vampires or other fantasy creatures) as well. 
Rounded up is this product by the included 10 material presets for Iray. Unclean and yellowed teeth, different teeth tones like slightly stained or bleached white teeth, bloody teeth and one preset with gold teeth. There are also 6 shape presets included that utilize the morphs. You can of course save all your teeth adjustments as your own shape presets as well to be able to quickly apply your favorite settings later. 
Overall a very versatile product to make your characters more unique.

This product is also a Merchant Resource you can use to create morphs for your character products. Please refer to the ReadMe how this resource may be used.

Kitakoredaz was right, and thanks to him I was able to find a workaround for this issue. I'll post a more detailed solution later; but here's the gist of it:

1. Load Genesis 3 Base and dial-in your custom character (in my case, this involved about 20 different dials from various morphs and vendors).

2. Save the current Shape Preset for later and model your clothing on this custom shape.

3. Set the resolution of your Genesis 3 figure to Base, Subdivision to 0 and export it as an OBJ file at 100% scale. We're going to create a morph from this OBJ.

4. Reset the shape of Genesis 3 to 0, it should look like the base figure again.

5. Use Morph Loader Pro and the OBJ created in step 3 above to create a morph for Genesis 3. Remember the name of this morph for later.

6. Dial the morph created in step 5.

7. Reset the figure to High resolution and subdivision level to 1 (or whatever it was when you modeled your clothes).

8. Load your clothes. They should fit your morphed figure.

9. Use the Transfer Utility to rig the clothing: In "Item Shape" select "Morph" and then select the morph you created on step 5 above. Also enable "Reverse Source Shape from Target".

10. Select the projection template (if applicable).

11. Run the transfer utility. Your clothes should now be rigged without distortion on the morphed figure and they should be usable now. If this is all you wanted, then you're done!

Side note: sometimes this step will create minor distortions in certain areas. At this point you might want to use the Morph Loader Pro again on the rigged clothing and load the original, un-rigged OBJ of the clothing to create a morph. Yes, what I'm saying is this: create a morph that transforms the rigged clothing back to its original modeled shape. This should eliminate all minor distortions that may have been created by the transfer utility.

12. Optional: delete the morph created in step 5 or simply reset the shape of Genesis 3 again so that it looks like the base figure (the rigged clothing should also follow this change so that it fits Genesis 3 Base), then load the Shape Preset you created in step 2 above. The rigging should now work on your Custom Shape. This has the additional advantage that you may continue to refine and tweak the Custom Shape to your liking and the rigged clothing should continue to work (to within reasonable limits).

These steps worked for me. However, I don't think the end user should jump through hoops just to get the same funcionality we had with a couple of clicks 2+ years ago. I think a bug should be filed to fix this.

• Auto-Fit / Transfer Utility
  • Fixed a crash when using Auto-Fit or Transfer Utility

4.9.4.121 (June 23, 2017)

  • Fixed an issue where a change in the size/scale of a given node point's effect was not being signaled (and therefore not being applied)
  • Fixed an issue where deselecting a property point did not cause all of the potential properties to be deselected; this could result in properties that should not be affected by a given property point being affected
  • Fixed an issue where mapping of property points did not correctly initialize; this could result in unintended results when manipulating property ponts
• Content Loading
  • Fixed an issue where holding the AltModifier key while drag-n-drop loading a Character Preset that executes a post-load script (e.g., Genesis 8) would not respect the offset defined by the load target

  • Added support for enabling version 3+ templates for specific geometries
  • Fixed a crash when the selected figure is missing a template node
  • Fixed an issue where clicking and dragging a node group point would zero the values of properties of each node in the group before beginning to manipulate them; causing it to “pop” with each use
  • Fixed an issue where holding the AltModifier while clicking a node point did not restore the properties of the node
  • Fixed an issue where holding the AltModifier while clicking a point of a given type would restore the properties associated with the selected point even if the clicked point was not the selected point
  • Fixed an issue when selecting a prop; selecting a prop in the hierarchy of a skeleton should NOT cause the template for the figure to be deselected; selecting a prop NOT in the hierarchy of a skeleton should cause the template for the figure to be deselected

  • Added support for dual lobe specular
  • Added support for new features in translation to Shader Mixer
• Database Driven Asset Views
  • Dragging and dropping an asset onto a category when the "Filter By Context" option is checked and an object in the scene is selected will now ask whether or not the user would like to mark the asset(s) as being compatible with the compatibility base of the selected object
• Database Driven Product Views
  • When the path of an icon for a product cannot be determined from a database entry (e.g., installed/imported vs created), an attempt is made to locate an icon in the mapped Daz Studio/Poser Format directories where the path/name matches the pattern ./Runtime/Support/<StoreID>_[<ProductToken>_]<Product_Name>.<Ext>; the PNG extension is attempted followed by the JPG extension if not found
• Content DB Editor
  • Sending the "LOCAL USER" product to the Content DB Editor no longer displays the "Product" page within the dialog; the "LOCAL USER" product is a special case catch-all product of which the product specific details should not be modified
  • The "LOCAL USER" store is now explicitly listed in the store selector on the "Product" page of the Content DB Editor dialog instead of displaying an empty value
  • Content DB Editor now checks that a file is not user-facing (loadable) before it allows that file to be listed in the support files list
  • Editing a file listed in the Support File(s) list of Content DB Editor and choosing a user-facing file removes the edited entry from the list

  • Clone Asset save now provides an option within the dialog to select the destination base path; this is automatically set/updated when the Base Figure is selected/updated
  • Clone Asset save now provides a property selection view within the dialog for selecting which properties to remove from the target figure when projecting using the clone via Auto-Fit or Transfer Utility
• PowerPose
  • Fixed an issue that left selection points clickable when no figure is selected
  • Fixed an issue that caused cursor feedback when no figure is selected and no selection points are displayed
  • Updated the default male templates to match functionality provided by the default female templates
  • Templates now support relative (to the templates file) paths
  • The ability to dynamically load a template set from a figure's support asset tools folder (for non-legacy figures) has been added
  • Clicking a property selection point now causes the node associated with that property to become selected; if the node is hidden, the node hierarchy is ascended until a non-hidden parent node is reached
  • The label of a node is now used in tooltips instead of its name; matches display in other areas of the UI
  • Pane configuration has been moved to the layout file instead of the startup script
  • ActivePose tool configuration has been moved to application settings instead of the startup script
  • The pane option menu has been updated
  • Tool tips, status tips, and what's this text has been extracted to an inline help file
  • The ability to save a template set via scripting API has been added; this feature is still in the late ALPHA phase of development - format is subject to change as the feature is completed; saved templates are not compatible with earlier versions; non-legacy vs legacy figure is handled differently based on the corresponding asset loading mechanisms
  • Non-legacy figure templates can now specify a property on any node (including the skeleton) as a selection point; legacy figures are still limited to Morphforms
• Map Transfer
  • The alpha channel of a texture is now supported when using GPU
• Animation Saving/Loading

• Node
  • Fixed an issues where the "Visible in Render" property was not being respected in OpenGL renders
• Group Node (3D Layer)
  • The "Visible in Render" property now controls whether or not child nodes are considered visible in a render
  • Fixed an issues where the "Visible in Render" property was not being respected in OpenGL renders
• General User Interface
  • Updated default menus; recommend running the "Update and Merge Menus" script
  • Added the ability to invoke a screen color picker from any color widget by pressing the AltModifier on the keyboard while initiating a left-click + hold from the area of the color-well between the numeric values; the cursor will change to a cross and the color will update as the cursor is moved; releasing the left-click + hold commits the color of the pixel currently under the center of the cross cursor; right-clicking while the left-click + hold is still active cancels the operation
  • Added a Log Size preference (and a Default button) to the General page in the Preferences dialog
• Scripting
  • Many API additions and/or resolved issues in various areas; see the Change Log for more detail
• Fixed bugs and/or made improvements in various areas; see the Change Log for details

Important Notes:

• The first time you launch Daz Studio 4.9, any data that exists in the content database is migrated so that it can be used in Daz Studio 4.9.
• The amount of time the database migration operation takes is proportional to the amount of data to be migrated.
• The database migration operation does not delete the data that it migrates from the previous location so that it remains accessible by earlier versions and other applications, such as Carrara.
• Daz Studio 4.9 uses the same PostgreSQL database as Daz Studio 4.6 and later, and/or other applications, such as Carrara.
• A portion of the data contained within the database is shared amongst versions but not entirely. For example:
  • Creating a category in either Daz Studio 4.9 or 4.8 will cause that category to exist in the other version
  • Assigning a file to that category in Daz Studio 4.9 will NOT cause that file to be assigned to that category in Daz Studio 4.8
  • Assigning a file to that category in Daz Studio 4.8 WILL cause the file to be assigned to the category in Daz Studio 4.9
• Reseting the database in any version of Daz Studio that uses PostgreSQL (e.g., 4.6 or later) will purge all of data in the database, including any data that may be used by earlier versions or other applications, such as Carrara.
• After the initial migration operation, edited metadata in Daz Studio 4.8 will not be migrated to Daz Studio 4.9.
  • A workaround is to export User Data from Daz Studio 4.8 and reimport User Data in Daz Studio 4.9.

Do you mean the Morph Brush? DS doesn't have that - the nearest you can get, for a limited range of purposes, is a weight-mapped Push Modifier (which will move the mesh in or out as you paint on the weight map).

Yes exactly that I meant a Morph Brush, many thanks for your help.
