The shading, lighting and hair are very convincing and I am almost sold on it being a photo if not for her oddly pointy cheekbones which rather disturb me, thats the morph dials not the render though so not Phill Wilkes doing as such but the PA who made those morphs which appear to be affected by the smile.

OK, to start out; my discussion title was too long; the error was, "WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile".

To my problem. I have been working on creating my own centaur using Hivewire's Horse and G3F. I have had some success but have found that, at some stage in the process, I can no longer morph G3F or HWHorse. BY this, I mean, I can dial a different character for G3F, but nothing happens to the figure. Likewise with HWHorse if I try to dial in a Mustang or Draft horse, etc - nothing happens - the figures are no longer morphable.

With the aim of trying to find when this happens, I created 2 files; one with G3F and the other with HWHorse. I then started to go through the process of modifying each figure for the resultant centaur. Using the Geometry Editor, I deleted unnecessary polygons (Legs for G3F, Head for HWHorse) - at each step, I tried several morphs to ensure everything was working. Once the changes were made and testing was done, I closed the file/s and then closed DS.

After a restart, I can no longer open either file! Both cause DS to crash with numerous "WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile" errors. Now this problem appears to be getting worse as this is the first time I haven't even been able to open the files. At other attempts, DS would crash when trying to put hair on G3F (this was once she had been modified and parented to HWHorse's chest) - but this hasn't always been the case. In my earlier attempts, I didn't have these issues.

I have used both DFormers and Zbrush via GoZ to modify both G3F and HWHorse successfully (but not as well as I wanted; hence the numerous attempts as I learnt to use DFormers and some Zbrush).

However, I have currently not even gotten to the DFormer or Zbrush stage in my centaur-creation workflow before this issue appeared.

I have attached a copy of the last startup to crash from the log file.

I'm on Win 7 64bit, 32GB RAM, 2xNvidia GTX 960 cards, DS version 4.9.2.7..........

If anyone needs additional info, lmk.

Really nice work on the park Rich!   Although just skimming through the instructions, instead of doing anything with weight mapping, when I tinkered with terrain d-formers, I just created the first morph and choose not to delete it, then simply moved the field of the d-former (and can't remember exactly, think I moved the base too) and then created another morph, rinse, repeat. Goes very quickly.

If you had already ERC freezed,, may need only remove "orientaion" ERC around eye lids rigs

1. in parameter tab, go to edit mode. then select the morph which you making.

2  r-click the morph parameter >Show in proerty hieraalchy.   it open property hileralchy pane, then auto-select your morph .

3. Open sub-component.1.stage ,  then serch nodes from right pane. about eyelids rigs. (r and left) 

4 select those,,, , ERC[DeltaAdd]: X,(Y,Z)orientation   of those Eyelids nodes  by click those ERC with shift,,,  then "remove selected" 

in my pic I already removed only about those OrientationERC about Eyelids bones, when I made this face morph. then there is no orientatioin ,,,

I usually  not use "rotation" (set delta for Orientation) at all,   about thoes eyelids face rigs,,  when adjust rigs to the shape.

around jaws may only need to apply rotaiton(orientation) I think.

(about body morphs, you may need to set rotation, or when you check bone,  fingurs nodes really ugly arranged) 

First of all - you have to make clothes for the BASE Genesis 3 Female model. All morphs dialed to 0. Afterwards the figure itself will auto-generate the morphs on the figure. If you morph the figure, the Transfer Utility tool will add "another morph" on top of that, distorting your clothes.

Here's a step-by-step process for this:

1. Load the Genesis model and clothes made without the morph.
2. Use Transfer Utility.
3. As the Source, choose Genesis 3 Female. 
4. As the Target choose your clothing item.
5. As the Projection Template, choose what type of item the clothes are (or the closest to its type)
6. Click Show Options>>
7. If your clothes are skin-tight or made of soft-cloth, check the "Add Smoothing Modifier" box.
8. Hit Accept.

Your clothes should now be working.

In case of the clothes you sent WITH the morph active, you can try this adjustment AFTER you have done the above process.

1. If the clothes are distored after Transfer Utility, select your clothes in the Scene Tab and go to  the Parameter tab.
2. There should be a sectiuon called "Actor" there that was created for the clothes.
3. Diall all of the morphs in there to 0. For example, if you morphed Genesis3 to Bethany 7, you will have to dial Bethany 7 down to 0 in the Clothes Parameter.
4. Clothes should now look normal. 

There is a better way of doing this, including setting up a custom morph for the clothes to fit a character. But this should be a band-aid fix.

Thank you for sharing that but.. I already own all of those and I find them extremely lacking when compared to the many great morphs that Zev0 made previously for Genesis 2:
Belly Contro

http://www.daz3d.com/belly-control-for-genesis-2-female-s-and-v6

Shape Shift
http://www.daz3d.com/belly-control-for-genesis-2-female-s-and-v6
So I am hoping to see a lot more morphs for Genesis 3 which is why I specifially mentioned the pregancy morph that we only inf in "Belly Control" and why I am posting in the product suggestion catagory because I happen to already know whats available... but.. again.. thank you for your effort.  Keep up the great work.

You probably want "General Weight Mapping" rather than Triax.

The Transfer Utility automatically uses the weight mapping method of the parent figure, so if they follow kotkbliss's advice, they're golden - though they may wish to tweak the weight maps if they get pokethu, or apply a smoothing modifier.

Malachai's Head Morphs utilize the Male Head Morph Pack for Genesis 3, while his body morphs stack: Genesis 3 Male Body Morphs, with a layer made from Merchant Resources and Hexagon, and the last is Michael 7 for Genesis 3 Male for a more defined shape.  You can use just the base, the base with the custom tweaks, or all three.

Material Hierarchy settings for the model and anatomical elements as well as the separate material files, long with individual materials for arms, legs, torso, and his face along with the anatomical elements.  There is a no brow optioin, 4 individual eye colors, a bloodshot sclera option and three fantasy eye materials.  Two leg tattoos, two arm tattoos and a back tattoo with mix/matching for different combos and an all tattoo setting.

Materials are Iray based only.

The quick and easy way with clothes would be to use he transfer utility.

load your G3 figure

import your clothing object

select the clothing and go to edit -> object -> rigging -> convert prop to figure and choose triax (I think)

then go to edit -> figure -> transfer utility

In the transfer utility on the left upper drop down box for source, select the g3 figure

in the right dropdown choose your clothing item for target.

clith ok and when it's done, you'll have a rigged clothing item that will "fit to" your g3 figures.

Updated cat rig

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7907045/Cat_G6_rigged.car

rescaled the model to "roughly" cat size

Re-rigged,. with contraints,. (probably not correct limits)

Rebuilt morphs for the Eyes closed,. and individual Left / Right eyeclose / wink/blink.

changed the default model with the mouth open, and added a morph for Mouth open. and a slightly more open screamy mouth

Added morphs for eyes (look left / right / Up / Down)

Cool Malice and Mayhem, been contemplating em for a while; at that price, it's worth seeing if I can transfer em to G3

How do you make this a whole head? What happens to the parts that are missing the texture?

Well this is why I asked to see the character morphs with DAZ Genesis 2|3 Default textures because almost all of us have not the needed photography equipment, or the access to the person we are making a morph of in most cases. I realize that one's skin tone, eyebrows, hair colors and style, wrinkles, and blemishs are the way people instictively quickly ID each other and so the morphs will be less convincing without the photographs used to make textures but it would still be nice to see.

As far as morphs with Genesis 3 and Genesis 2, well they look almost equally good to me, with maybe a slight edge to Genesis 3.

It seems that there is no efficient solution to this problem, I will ask DAZ if they have plans to fix it in an upcoming release.

I havent tried saving it as a different figure but I will try that, for now Im in a slow process if ever I need to export again with a different morph, I have the figure saved before the merge, I then add my morphs and merge again. At this point I need to add any cloth and hair to the figure and export again as a fbx.

Im still waiting on them to respond to my ticket.

A sweater outfit for the Sholo male morph for Lolo Hai.

Thx i have found the problem morph. It was the teen josie body morph. I just set it to 0 now.

Hi I've made a mistake of purchasing the genesis 1 morph bundle and I really wanted to use it since I dont want it to be wasted, I purchased it because I thought genesis means it can be applied to both genesis 2 and genesis 3. So my question is, whenever I'm using the genesis 1 why doesnt it have skin, eyes, or the other details that make it look "human"? I mean it just looks like a mannequin and even if I render it, it still looks like a mannequin. Just side questions too, what do you guys suggest for a newbie like me to do? I mean I feel like in order to be able to create a lof good 3d art I need to purchase a lot, Ive also looked into the platinum club thing but I just want to know what you guys did when you were just starting out, what contents do you guys suggest? Genesis 2 or Genesis 3 contents? and tutorials? I know I asked a lot but I just want to ask these in one post lol 

You can't without rigging it and it isn't easy. This will give you an idea of what is invloved

http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/122171/a-rigging-tools-pdf-guide-nearly-complete#latest

You can try the transfer utility to copy an existing rig for personal use inside DS, but I find it rarely works well.

I'm sorry if this toppic has already been discussed, I couldn't find it.

I've created a few custom face morphs for Genesis 3 female - eye space, size, pull up and down etc. - but I can't adjust the rigging right. Initially the bones do change their position correctly, but after I use ERC freeze, adjusting the new morph dial makes some bones go crazy, they rotate all over the place. Specifically the bones that seem to be controlling eyelid movements and squinting are causing such problems. I've searched for tutorials, but they're no help. They're all for G2, and G2 skeleton doesn't have those bones that are causing problems here. Has anyone had this problem?

This is my entry, Witch's Brood.

Rendered in Carrara with a little postwork in PS elements to add some motion blur.

When were the 2 items from the DAZ store free?  Was it during this month?  There have been so many sales it is hard to keep track.  If you acquired them for free prior to October, 2016 then they need to be recorded as no counts.

Even if I do not count these 2 links you have enough valid links to qualify.
