The new figure load "DJ Thea HD" is buttery smooth (with nothing else loaded of course).  But that led me to load my version up again and of course sluggish.  However, it appears the file may have somehow been corrupted. In the scenes tab, bits of clothing were loaded onto it in duplicate and a couple of cases, triplicate.

I have deleted the extras and things are faster now. Not smooth, but at least manageable.  

 

Looks like I may just have to rebuild the character from the ground up again and transfer the file via USB instead of the cloud like I've been doing. Hopefully, that will prevent this from repeating.

I don't use Shape Splitter so I don't know if it works or not in such a case. The default Head Split dFormer in Essenstial product always work for me. What's is your DS version ?

You may first use a store character you have (shorter one or with little size or scale it down...) to make a test, i.e. dial both Head / Body to 100%, then generate a head morph with Face Transfer, see if it works well or not. If it does, don't use Shape Splitter, try with Head Split dFormer instead...

For instance, I dialed Jib - a dwarf character, there's no issue on my side...

 

Yes, but I did it with Shape Splitter, so I separated the head from the body (I have 2 sliders now). 

I load the G8F base figure, set the 2 sliders (Body and Head) to 100% and when I do a face transfer, but the neck still stretches.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi i have them from2017  this is what it says

Details
Over 390 Custom Sculpted Face Morphs created in Maya.
The "RS FMC Vol.1" can do full face overall morphs in addition to hundreds of smaller detail morphs.
This set is a fantastic companion to the Original Daz Genesis 8 Female Face Morphs and to make it even better this set is also a Merchant Resource!
Let's start to create our own top models today!

 

Thanks! Nothing about how those morphs need to be applied to safeguard his/her copyright. Hummmmmm ....

I think it's been said before in how MRs work the customer can't just turn around about sell a product using the morphs or texture sets unaltered. The MRs must have their changes "baked in" So a character you sell using the morphs has to have that locked in where customer can't access original morphs from the MR set as they would destroy the market for the MR set. You can add you own morphs or other MR morphs but you would only have the right to give customers access to your morphs via morph dials, no one elses. So you make Natasha character using MR. The morphs individually in the MR could not offered, only one morph for Natasha character. Likewise for texture material sets. They have to be altered, substantially enough, and the original textures not accessible unless customer buys the MR personally.

Ok thanks... Yes, it's a unique character morph.

You mean I have to have 2 sliders (1 for the head and the other for the body?

Yep ~~ I believe you've known the way of using Head Split dFormer in Starter Essentials to split a single morph into Head and Body. Then Adjust Rigging and ERC Freeze on each of them.

@mcorr cont. You can consolidate body morphs by dialing in all the morphs below the neck that affect your character, zeroing G8's resolution subdivisions in Parameters, and exporting to an obj with a name like FBMMyCharacter and a label like My Character Body. You would repeat with head morphs and FHM. You can then use Morph Loader Pro to load these two consolidated morphs, adjust rigging, and save them to the library using file/save as/ and I think it might be called Scene Assets instead of Figure/Prop assets now (I am on my phone).

@mcorr For the script to convert morphs, they must meet the condition of having one body morph and one head morph, where the body morph name starts with fbm and the head with fhm. So you would need to consolidate and rename morphs to fit the convention used by official Daz characters, if that makes sense. Then you would create a shaping preset for each that contains the body morph+ the head morph.

Bunnies in my Runtime!!!

And when I read the news about the CATS! my heart stopped for a split second. Please consider a morph for a partial leg morph. I have a little 3-paw who was born with his right foreleg folded up and partially formed, with a few little pads showing. He makes it up with rear legs as strong as a rabbit's and speed of zero to sixty in a second. But that partial leg works so hard to cover up stuff in the litter box as his left front leg and back legs holds him up. I need to add that he is a ginger, so he is a bit of a weird cat.

Now I have Regina Spektor's "All the Rowboats" stuck in my head, except that she's singing:

"All the rabbits in oil paintings. They keep trying to hop away, hop away."

AM's rabbits are magnificent, although I will admit that I'm a little sad that there isn't an Eastern cottontail in the set. They're the Default Bunny at the place where I go for weekends sometimes, and they're all over the place. This year they seem more complacent than ever, so I think it's only a matter of time before I come downstairs and find a whole mob of them making themselves coffee in the kitchen and rifling the fridge for carrots.

Although, probably you could null the jackrabbit morph down to say about 10%, tune down the ears size and the coloration it's pretty similar... that should get you a quite decent eastern cottontail...

Scale down before generation or generate on Base figure then reduce Scale (though it's not propagating...) won't bring you such issue... (ss1)

But with a dialed single character morph before generation, it'll bring you long neck... (ss2)

So firstly dbl-check your case...

Is it a single character morph that you dialed on this figure ? If so, you have to split it to head and body morph, or better use a Base figure rather than a character to generate face with Face Transfer.

Thank you Léana, I had already tried that... but after having done the face transfer on the basic figure then I reduce the character then the face also reduces i.e. the lips shrink ect...

I would recommend doing your face transfer on a "normal scale" figure then scaling it down.

Hello everyone,

Do you know why when I use Face Transfer 2 (and even Face Transfer) on a character that has undergone scaling (size 150 cm) the Morph of the head does not follow the body ie the neck is stretched as shown in the screenshot?

How can I get around this?

Thanks

Edit.

The script works OK for characteras other than those I have customized, which is the only reason why I bought it ... to transfer the morphs of those characters. I am also getting the folding phenom, but I have nothing contacting any part of the face, so I am puzzled.

The folding phenomenom happens because there are a lot of converted morphs piling up on top of each other.  Are these a lot of morphs for small changes?  If so, you should combine them all into one morph before transferring.

Some background:

In order to transfer morphs from one generation to another, you need the two characters to match in shape, height, and pose as closely as possible.  The script modifies G9's shape to the default G8 shape (using the included "Genesis 8 Female" or "Genesis 8 Male" clone morphs), and poses G9 to the default G8 pose. Once they match, the transfer utility transfers over the morphs and you can save them.  However, what transferring means is that the changes between the current G9 shape/height/pose and the morph's shape/height/pose on G8 are what are transferred over as a morph.  Because G9 has been changed, the converted morph will "remember" the change in shape, height, and pose as well as the shape changes of the original morph, which can cause problems.  This is why, even if the original morph only changed fingernail length or something like that, a converted morph changes the whole body on G9.  The script is smart enough to only save the head of a head morph but saves the whole body or figure for all other morphs.  This is why small, benign morphs on G8 can cause problems on G9.

Thanks for the detailed information.

I just reinstalled everything on a separate HD and it kind of works now, but what I have had absolutely no luck with (which is a deal breaker for me) is getting my Blender morphs that I applied to G8 to also convert over to G9.

Perhaps there is some way of doing this? If so, could you give me some clear instructions what I should try so that I can give it a go? Maybe it only workes as a saved character conversion, not a custom conversion, or perhaps there is something I must do pior to converting?

That's how morphs work.

A "small breast" morph is a set of instructions which tell DS "pull these polygons inwards so the breasts are smaller", not something that says "modify the mesh so it ends up in this target shape whatever the original shape was".

If you start from a flat chest, using the "small breasts" morph will still do exactly the same as starting from the base figure, ie pull the polygons inward, it won't make the breasts bigger.

Hi everyone,

I acquired in the store a pack of Morph to have small breasts and there is something I do not understand.

When I apply the breast Morphs on G8F (the basic figure without Morph) it works fine (the breasts of G8F become small) but when I apply the breast Morphs on G8F which has undergone a Morph (the breasts are flat) then instead of the breasts increasing, they decrease until the breasts are compressed inwards.

I've tried reverse deformations on Yes but I still have the same problem.

Any idea why?

Thanks

Someone at Daz should have at least 1 computer with everything from the store installed on it.

It would be much easier to find and deal with product conflicts such as character names, morph names, etc,etc..

Looking at the archived version of the page, before Daz bought the product (at least before it was sold as a Daz Originals, I don't know when Rarestone sold her products to Daz), the description is the same as the current one:

https://web.archive.org/web/20191030042208/https://www.daz3d.com/rarestone-s-face-morphs-collection-for-genesis-8-female

https://www.daz3d.com/rarestone-s-face-morphs-collection-for-genesis-8-female

So it's likely the same licence requirements and opening a ticket is you best bet to get them (the requirements are likely a variation around "create the face you want, export as an OBJ and import back to create a morph" but I don't know if they are limitations around the nature of the products using the morph you just created -- some MR licences doesn't allow freebies from what I read).
