though I could've sworn I'd bought him UZ G3M before just hadn't used him unless this bundle included the HD morph which is why it was listed as one of the new items in the sale still full price bundle is $16.17 and Grave Walker is $10.77 but then for bundle we got 30% off w+ I bought the rigged water iray 2 which was $15.22 but if we already had UZ G3M and I just got GW with Water that'd be a lot cheaper with the 2 item discount? So again have we bought paid for something twice? though on p page purchase date is today just like bundle g2m 1st Nov 2016 but if you look on his store page UZ G3M is listed in between the weapons from hell and Hellion HD then the bundle and Grave Walker or again it's late nearly 330am I'm tired trying to think this out maybe he is new and just keep confusing with g2m version 

got it and downloaded it via dim but only thing listed being downloaded in dim was grave walker thought that other ultimate zombie which is listed in today's mm sale which is also listed shown on the bundle promo as part of that product with garve walker was a slightly different version to ultimate that had bought before or have I bought the same charcter twice along with gw. Looking in my studio though Ultimate Zombie in the figure section sub menu it shows as HD was it HD before can't remember oh aahh I see now just looked in my product library here the first Ultimate Zombie was for G2M which we obviously bought new one G3M and HD and Grave Walker is textures/morph/character and different clothing  for the G3M version couldn't see GW because lately Ive had to install first via DIM then install inside sStudio as well lately ok so in this render we have Grave Walker the Ultimate Zombie for G2M then Ultimate Zombie HD for G3M just a low resolution quick render

Just a quickie.  The original prop is an old poser prop and the lighting was a deep red, it looked really awesome in the viewport.  Unfortunately, because it was poser lights, they didn't transfer to Daz.  I did my best to mimic it but its not quite as intense as the original. I think this needs some alien plants or a dragon flying in the background yet.  Will revisit this one again, but I couldn't wait to try out the armour. The armour is by Greybro, you can see more examples of it here. It conforms and moves with the character very well. I also want to change the metal of the sword blade to bone.

Nice! I am calling my next band, "Alien Pants!"

Once you turn on show hidden parameters, the 'hidden parameters' that show up in the parameters tab when you have your hair selected should show all the by default hidden morphs that your figure is applying to the hair. Those sliders or dials or whatever you want to call them are morphs - shape morphs, style morphs, fitting morphs, etc. One of those SHOULD be an ear morph, especially if you dialed in an elf ear shape on the figure when you created it.

If you select 'currently used' the parameters tab will show only those morphs that are currently non-zero affecting your hair -- hidden, non-hidden both. If you read through all the morph sliders and do not see any reference to an ear or elf ear, it could be because the ear shape is from the head shape morph your figure is using instead of a specific elf or orc ear morph. So you might see 'fantasy head' or high elf or orc head, etc. You can try dialing down or zeroing that morph on the hair but it may also effect the overall fit and not in a good way. Hence my workaround above, which does work as Ive used it. On ogres iirc because of that very issue, no ear morph because the ears shape comes from the ogre head morph. So I dialed in an elf ear from a shaping slider in the shape tab, then selected the hair, found the elf ear morph slider and dropped it from 3% or whatever to about -80%. Might not always work though, not like Ive rigorously tested it:) And no, these morph dials/sliders do not say 'morph' in their names.

@wonderland   I do really like the hair. I have her already, probably paid more, that's for sure. Thanks for showcasing her. It's nice to have cohorts in crime who also entice people to spend money. Can't blame me for this one Barbult!  

Haha, I think we should get store credit for everyone we convert LOL... I also convinced myself to pick up the Bentley Hair too because I saw that had a long morph and was curious how that would look. (I'm not really into short hair except for used on little pixies.)

Chalk up another victim of this thread Didn't like Talisken when she came out. Now... sigh...

Just released for Ultimate Zombie HD for Genesis 3 Male, I am pleased to present the Grave Walker expansion.  All new materials plus HD morph details bring him to life in sickening detail.

He's available alone or bundled with the original Ultimate Zombie for Genesis 3 Male.  Thanks for checking him out!

I LOVE that bentley hair!!!! It's gorgeous - I also have the Talisken hair and love that too.

I used the Bentley hair back in the ol' 3delight days here: https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/76998 and here: https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/images/110697 and here: https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/76982 and here: https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/80089

ha ha you can see i've used it a LOT.

Oh cool, it looks good short too. I love your B&W renders! Is Elite Models still happening? I used to do promo renders with Artistic License...

Is there anywhere you can actually get rtencoder? One of my biggest frustations with Studio and 3D rendering is when I want to something that would still be useful but I can't because some utility, morph package, or other essential component of getting that done has disappeared off the face of the Internet. I've never encountered that as often in any other kind of technology as with Studio.

Just a heads up on the Bridget hair, it has a morph to turn off the braids completely which I thought was really cool.  Lots of movement morphs and colors as well. The bundle for G2f and G3f are only about a $1 difference in price

Dang it, now I'm going to have to see if I can find some Aiko 3 freebies. lol I only have two outfits for Aiko 3/Melody. 
 

Any generation 3 characters run into this problem. They're more difficult to use and pose, and finding content for them can be nearly impossible. V3, MilGirls, Laura and Luke... M3, H3.... A3... in the case of Laura and Luke, the head and body morphs have been vaulted by DAZ so a lot of the content available either free or paid is useless. Well... you can use the skin maps but you morphs won't work... 
So, at $.49 buying the base character seems like a fair gamble - but I don't have a lot of hope of getting a lot of mileage out of these characters. Some of them you can use GenX to transfer the characters to Gen1, 2 or 3 and add a little flexibility to later generations that way. Often the problem is that other content for Generation 3 content isn't priced at $.49... If I'm going to pay $19.99 for a hair set, it will be some OOT hair for Genesis 3, not an ancient hair package for V3, L3, M3, A3. 
I used Aiko 3 LE with a metal shader as a hood ornament on Big Bill in my post apocalyptic render. 
 

hahah Yeah, I think you're right. The only way it makes sense to buy the older characters or products, imo, is when they are super inexpensive like that. I'm often suprised at the prices of some of the really old V3/A3 stuff. Not sure why they don't deeply discount all that stuff. As you said, not many people are going to spend $20-$30 on an a really old product for V3 when you could spend less and get a much newer product. 

Yes, I baked the joint rotations on the character before applying the transfer utility. I may try rigging it myself in 3ds max, but that kind of defeats the purpose as I'm looking for a more rapid pipeline.

My models are V4 characters which morphs I use in GenX2. I then use the created clone morph into the Genesis 3 figure. I never upload any V4 figure into the scene during the process TheNathanParable.

Dimension3D, I'll first have to learn how to use the joint editor tool :) I'm not sure we can do anything else than Bend with the 2nd and 3rd part ot Genesis 3 fingers. Can we? 

Had a lot of fun working on this guy. 

On top of the level 4 HD morph that this product is packing, I tried some interesting things with textures, materials, and geoshells.

Hope everyone will enjoy this character!

I'm tempted to buy the Dublin character because I'd like to have a freckled skin. However, I'm put off by the lack of description in the promo.I guess I'll wait for some renders to appear.

I'm also tempted by Leila by The Philosopher. It seems there were a few problems with here at first but there have been updates. Anyone bought Leila? Any opinions or recent renders. I like the extras such as the sub-cutaneous veins but the renders I have seen so far have her looking a little orange/red for my liking.

Leila is a nice character / skin texture.  I really like the eyebrows as well.  The face shape is a little off to my mind.  But, she's easy enough to morph into something a little more to my liking.  She's also a good base for creating other teen type characters, and the surface is already preset with NGS2 shaders.

In DS you can use the "transfer active morphs" function:

• load V4, inject Alice morphs
• load your clothes, fit to your morphes V4
• select the clothes in the scene, right-click in the viewport and select "Transfer active morphs" in the menu: matching morphs should be added to the clothes

Another option is to use an utility like Dimension3D's Morphing Clothes

Hi,

Go to your Daz library "data" folder and seach for the morph name. The folder in which the DSF morph file is stored in is the product name.

Then in DS use: File > Save As > Support Asset > Morph Asset(s)

In the dialoge choose the right library and fill in the right product name you have dicovered before. Then click through the parameters/moph list and only select the morph you want to fix up and finaly click save. The original DSF morph file will get overwritten so maybe save a backup first - just in case... you know.

@ Etrigan. yes I see your issue. If the clothing deforms due to a morph then so will your decal. The only way to avoid that as far as I can see is to have the decal on a patch. A piece of mesh separate from the clothing but attached; a geograft?

This would mean that the decal would be rigid and independent of any bending or folding of the clothing which could also cause problems. What you would like is a map to define a part of the mesh which is stiffer than the rest and so less bent/distorted by a clothing movement morph but not entirely. A kind of normal map for sensitivity to applied morphs... sounds complicated!

I believe that is why Serene Night is requesting a product, it is complicated and time consuming, especially to outfit the whole regiment. 

 

One problem is that, at least with the modern US Army combat uniform (I don't know if this would apply to other countries or not) the patches are actually not physically part of the uniform, but rather are held in place by hook and loop fasteners (aka Velcro).

The Velcro idea might solve some issues. If the modeller could create the velcro on the uniform, and parent an editable patch for it, That might work, though only for combat fatiques. Dress/duty uniforms are still sewn on.
