In fact a cool idea for Anatomy squeeze morphs, that make them fit for clothes.

I tried making this work. Then I decided it was too much hassle and instead put a load of effort into making that highly adjustable morph set so I never had to do it again.

As others said, it's just because of the "wrong weight transfer" when auto-fitting the G8's tutu onto G9 figure. Do not adjust it with Fit Control but just copy weight map from G8's tutu to G9's. It's very simple to fix.

As the attached screenshots, press Alt + Shift + W (node weight brush) first, then copy the weight map of the Pelvis bone from G8's tutu to G9's auto-fitted one ...

That seems like a nifty trick, I was just coming back in here to ask how to speed up the tedious process of cleaning up all those wrongly assigned influence groups. But how does the copying of just the pelvic bone map cancel out all the others, do they get deleted automatically?

Edit: Ah sorry, didn't read properly, I guess I just copy these over as well.

And if you also find the similar issues on other Bones, do the same with those Bones' weight maps.

I fixed it, the solution was to load my original .OBJ from blender as a morph BUT with reverse deformations on. No need to touch the hidden properties.

There are some characters that are bigger and smaller. Also, there are pre-packaged body morph sets here and other places for painlessly adjusting character size and proportion. Many characters are similar size, but not all are same size.

When autofit or transfer utility rig a mesh, they will automatically assign parts of the mesh to a bone based on proximity, using a projection template as a guide. But for clothes which are not close to the body (like a tutu which is much wider on the hips than a typical skirt, or very long sleeves from a kimono or fantasy dress, for example), some polygons are actually closer to another bone's "influence zone" on the template than the one they should logically be assigned to, and so they end up assigned to the wrong bone.

So you will need to edit the rigging afterwards if you want the clothes to work properly.

@Matt_Castle recently shared a bulge morph that may be useful:

Thanks. I looked up how to do that. I was not quite looking in the right place. Turns out its the PFA The Age baby eye morphs as discussed here:

Gen9 left eye blink morph problem [SOLVED] - Daz 3D Forums

Now that I know what it is, it's no biggie to fix.

I sat down today and took the first steps toward creating a new set of steps for creating characters, based on everything that I've found and learned since summer 2022 - which is when the last set of instructions for character creation I have date back to. I never finished the instructions, back then or with any of the earlier versions. I never actually created what I considered to be a finished working character. It's been a WIP all this time.

Speaking from the experience of the previous attempts to get a process written down, I expect there will be several refinings and revisionings, a few backtracks and a total embarrassing "Oops!" or two as I get further along and realize that something important was forgotten or done wrong way earlier. Up to this point, I've had the luxury of pontificating about things I did so long ago that I know if they worked or didn't work. All of this might look pretty stupid in a week. 

Anyway, this guy is a beginning, a first step. The thing I was testing here probably sounds arcane but he's a test of creating a Face Transfer character on a stock G9 just from the saved shape, not a direct transfer from Face Transfer. I'm setting the stage to use existing FT2 shapes for mixing with other characters. There's no doubt multiple, better ways of saving a Face Transfer 2 shape for use in other scenes but I found one that seems to work. Let's see what happens.

There is a character that has a corrective morph applied when it shouldn't be because the character is not applied. Turn on hiddena nd look for active morphs.

yes Morph Loader Pro.
It complains facet count
Loading morph Gown morph...
Error: Facet count mismatch - base does not equal target (54566 != 108668)
Error: Error matching facets
Warning: Geometry did not match, failed to create morph.
 

What did you do ? Import the simulated OBJ with Morph Loader Pro into DS as a morph ?  It should work as vertices count as well as vertex order won't change...though you may see Faces are doubled or sth...

You got an error message from MLP ?

I'm having problem with Importing obj from Marvelous Desginer as morph again.

the cloth is alrady base res.

The number of facet when imported is not the same, almost double.

If facet is the same with face, than it would be obvious cos MD triangulate.

but I used to be able to use obj form MD as morph.

I dont thing the problem with the export from DAZ3d, cos I can use the obj directly for  morph.

The problem only the obj from MD.

Is it because the new update of DAZ studio?

I ran across this weird problem today. I know this wasn't a problem at some point in the not terribly distant past - I routine test a blink on my created characters to look for issues. I am guessing that this is either a 4.22 thing - it occurs both in release 4.22.0.16 and my beta, which is 4.22.1.88 - or it's some problem morph for a character I picked up recently. Does anyone have any ideas?

This is base G9 figure with no intentional anything applied. I made the eyelashes invisible to make the issue more visible. It only occurs on the left eye.

Well....Almost everything is fixed....

Got my PostgreSQL running.....Face Transfer works......I can render again.....

I had to completetly eliminate all traces of DAZ 3d and meticulously install it all on the D: drive.....not so easy as it sounds....

The only thing really left to fix is the Nvidea Iray viewport is getting overloaded pretty quickly.....

after 4 or 5 pieces of cloths and hair....the viewport can't convert to Nvidea Iray mode.......

You could try using the Genital Bulge shape in the clothing (if it isn't there you could set it in the base figure, export the clothing item as OBJ, and load as a new morph) or you could use dForms of MeshGrabber. Of coruse you would also need to pose the anatomical elements to reflect their being held by clothing, at least if in a relaxed state.

Not really. When using a clothed figure people tend to use a bulge morph rather than the actual gens.
