Do you have tooltips turned off? If not you shold see a larger version of the thumbnail in the tooltip that opens while hovering, presumably with some instructions.

Found it, in Preferences. Turned it on and made no difference. Hovering does nothing. I'm using 4.9 btw. (Thanks for the suggestion though.) Anyone got it to work?

Okay so all I had to do was put the cursor over the little hint file and this popped up

Dang it, won't work for me. Are you in 4.9 studio? 

And what exactly does that hint mean, I had the option to load Stella when Genesis 3 Females>Characters in Content Library is used,  or load Star 2 then load the Stella morphs, is this saying load Star, do any morphs, then load Stella morphs?

 I believe it saying that Stella morph works best when loaded on the Star2.0 ,rather then Genesis3F with Star dialed in ........ but the morph works fine for me and yes I am using DAZ 4.9.2.70

DivaMakeup what outfit is that??

The leaf outfit is actually a freebie texture for the Morphing Fantasy Dress. The texture can be downloaded here: http://www.sharecg.com/v/72006/

Star! (with an exclamation point) is the original stand-alone figure

Star2.0 is the new G3F morph character.

Star7 could not be used because that is Daz's figures number

Didn't want anyone to buy the wrong outfits as it can be confusing.

And a side note, Star 2.0 for G3F can wear all clothes that G3F can wear As Well As all the Original Star clothes.

This looks very interesting! I've been looking for a robe like this for ages. And thank you so much for including a good sitting morph! Some questions: is it possible to hide the cape at the back, so that the figure wears just the robe? And also, is the belt a separate figure - or if not, can it be hidden without leaving a gap between top and bottom of the tunic? Are the creases that we can see on the robe painted on, or part of the mesh? (Could you perhaps show us an untextured version?)

What are the posing capabilities like beyond the hierarchical poses you include? For example, if we want figures kneeling, or sitting in different ways? And are the sleeves also individually poseable? Sorry for all the questions but this really does look extremely interesting...

And thanks, I really like this cat, and the cub is adorable.  I need to do one with the black coat but that will have to wait as the meds are wearing off and I feel another nap is needed.  I don't think I've been down with the flu for this long in many years.  Usually only takes a couple of days but this one doesn't want to go away for some reason.  I'm trying to be reasonable but I have a hard time just staying in bed and doing nothing.  and since I don't have my laptop back I can't even do that while resting lol.  I'm stuck with a tablet and my phone.  So rendering if I'm not upright and in front of the pc in the living room.  I've pushed myself far enough today though I think.

Yay, the cub is out!   He is really cute. 

Reduce the lighting a little bit, it's a little overexposed.  The cub is looking at his mother, but you need to move her eyes towards the cub. Also, the cub's feet appear to be sunk into the stone a little. 

Just a few adjustments and this will be a very nice render.

Is that the Ancient Ruins?  I had the same idea with the cat - looks like you beat me to it, LOL. 

Lol feel free you won't hurt my feelings.  I literally dropped it all in and hit render then went back to bed.  I have to look at my settings something is off I am getting a lot of overexposed stuff and I wasn't before. I'm sure fiddled with something and forgot to switch it back.  Will track it down once this nasty flu is gone.

I picked up the black panther - since the cub is a morph, the coat color goes with it. 

I bought the original Star not so long ago but I couldn't resist genesis 3 Star with all the morphing possibilities and the clothes and hairs avaliable.

Here is my first render, it's Retro Heroine by Fredel (from Renderosity) with 50 % of Star's body and body propotions, and 30 % of Stars head and 15% of The Girl 7s head.

The outfit is  Retro Heroine outfit (a freebie) by Fredel.

I used DG Toon Style Hair Shaders for the hair :)

WHAT. That looks 100% like a modern rendition of classic Lara O_O

Love this character.

That is terrifyingly realistic.

But fantastically cool. If you don't mind sharing, which characters did you combine?

The body is 100% Star 2.0

The head is a combination of Teen Josie and Toon Josie Slim (both 36%), Aiko 16%, Anime Head 100%, and scaled the head up and neck down a bit.

I used the skin from the Vanessa character.

Anime Head for Genesis 3 is a freebie morph (with a dial) that you can find on ShareCG.

Vanessa is this one:  http://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-vanessa-hd-for-victoria-7-and-her-jewelry

Excellent, thanks! I didn't know there was a Toon Josie...was that a typo or is there a morph for the Teen Josie character that creates a toon version?

 

I'd like to know this too. Didn't realize there was a Toon Josie...

Since I don 't really do bundles or character addons, I really can't take advantage of this sale much. I am bummed as I have julie 7 on my wish list since I have a few characters that require her morph and have been waiting for a good deal. I spent my DO PC coupon yesterday, but if I hadn't, I could have gotten Julie for $7, DOH!

Here's a new way to transfer textures (for Unwrap3D users):
http://unwrap3d.com/u3d/tutorial_repaint_mesh.aspx

Blender not required.

All you need is this to morph G3M and G2M into the same shape:
http://www.sharecg.com/v/83139/gallery/21/DAZ-Studio/Texture-Conversion-Helper-morphs-G3M

In fact, as long as you have the morphs to morph two characters into the same shape, you can transfer textures between any generation of Genesis.

It's an interesting information! I'll try it and I'll let to know my results! Thanks a lot for the information Bolt! ;D

To be pedantic, there is memory used for the Qt slider and UI elements but nothing is used for the morph data itself.  There is nothing to "slow down" the machine.

Kendall

In fact the parameter sliders are not, if I understand the explanation correctly, stored as widgets but as image placeholders which are repalced with a true widget only when they have focus. The property itself does use some memory, but the overwhelming proportion is the morph deltas which are not loaded until the property is given a non-zero value (after which theya re held until the scene is cleared, since even if zeroed or if the figure is deleted they might be restored by an undo).

I misread the Genesis of Cuttlefish and was expecting a Cthulhu morph.

I bought a number of these and really like the anime look I've been able to get by blending her with some of the more standard G3 models. One problem I have had, however, is that the add-on eyes distort the geometry of other head items (most notably glasses). Hopefully there will be a patch for this. I would also love to see a wider range of anime style hairs (with actual updates to earlier Star hairs as they don't have much in the way of morph controls). Some more realistic Iray shaders for these would also be welcome. 

So sending back the dress is it now back to it's original Quads and the order it was originally so morphs and what not work with it still or is it a whole new mesh in Tri's?

Subdivision is a choice you make when transferring a cloth to VWD. If you leave it off, you draped object has the same structrure as the original and can be used as a morph target. If you activate subdivision, the objetc you send back will have the subdivided structure. If your mesh is dense enough, there is no need to use subdivision in VWD.

Hmm. I was told they did cause lag when loading the figures.  So this is not true? I have always found trimming them down has helped load times. 

The more morphs you have installed for a Genesis figure, the slower it will load.  However we are talking a difference of a few seconds between an empty Genesis and one with a ton of morphs.  I have a saved scene with G2F in it that has no textures.  I use it for testing out new characters.  It will always load with any new morphs and has always loaded very quickly no matter how many characters and morphs I have added and my G2F has more then any other of my Genesis figures.  But if a morph is not dialed in, it does not use any extra memory.

That outfit autofit really well, even the shoes!! Don't suppose you have the "Ruby Red" outfit for original star that you could test out the autofit? 

I noticed that new Star had a face morph for the Creme Brulee outfit, so since I grabbed that yesterday along with the bundle (but before the RDNA sale started. Thanks Daz. Again -__-) here's new Star with her old Creme Brulee hair and outfit.

 

The hair, collar, and flower are parented since autofit wasn't ideal for them. The dress and shoes are autofit with zero adjustments though.

I don't have any other of her outfits aside from the default :( If I'd have known there was going to be an RDNA sale the day after the stellar bundle offer, I would have waited and bought more of them :(

First: Thank you for the time it took for your response.

I am using DS 4.9.

ONE of the skins that is giving me choclate is: http://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-eliya-hd-for-victoria-7

Admittedly it is a skin that is a little tanned. Here is my render (it does not use the character morph included with the skin)
