Kids 4 Pro bundle for free when you buy something for as low as $3. I've been wanting that for a while, but the price was never right. Now it's time to get it... :)

Ehhhh, I'll admit I'm sort of tempted (on the rare occasion I'd ever do anything involving kids), but the fact there's no way -that I know of- to transfer clothing/items made for K4 to Genesis/G2/G3 (to use on characters made with Zev0's Growing Up morphs) makes me take pause. 

That said, I think this is probably the fourth or fifth time I've seen Bethany 7 at practically Fire Sale levels. Did she really underperform that poorly? 

 There is an K4 autofit clone included for Genesis. You can use the genesis fits in Gen 2 according to this thread: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/61610/kids-4-what-s-happening And this product enables morph transfer: http://www.daz3d.com/genx2-addon-for-genesis-2 you need Gen X2 as well.

I'd still buy Esha's Patchwork shoes (Based Esha for giving us multiple heel options that are interchangeable) regardless, so I guess the K4 bundle wouldn't hurt to tack on there.

The Cape and the Belt can be hidden by using the surface tab and reducing the Cutout Opacity to 0, but it was not designed that way so there may be some some work on the texture where shadows are especially the Belt. The creases are lightly in the mesh and they are enhanced by a Normal map and the Painted Map. (Image added)

The bottom half of the robe can be posed separate to the figure using the Bones. (Sitting image added) There are no sitting or kneeling morphs as I feel that the don"t work well unless they are designed for a particular pose and the they work best as hierarchical poses. This would need to be a separate product due to the mount off of time involved.

There is a morph to narrow the sleeves when they are down by the side plus a number of general morphs to help with movement.

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.

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?

Sorry!  I meant to type teen josie.  I don't think there is a toon josie, that was just a typo.

Yep, no worries, I kinda thought as much, though I wasn't clear on how you could combine regular Teen Josie head with slim version of her head. Do you mean you started with her regular head at 36% and then added 36% slimming or is there a separate Teen Josie head slimming morph? Regardless, you have a great eye for creating multi-character mixes. I hope you share more!

I seem to remember there being seperate slimming morphs, for the character's body and head.

Love this character.

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)

 

Are you using the default HDRI for light? As noonesuch already said, the light can make a huge difference. The skin of the model looks okay (not too dark), and according to the Readme, she was designed for 4.9.

Here are some examples. Characters are the same in all 4 renders - Michael 7 and Kimo 7 with default skin. As you can see, depending on the light type you throw at them, the skin colour looks quite different.

Default HDRI

Set 13 of OOT Male Lights

Set 11 of OOT Male Lights

The figure's rigging is off, which is strange, since I believe GenX usually fixes that automatically. Regardless, you should be able to fix it.

First of all, you need to make sure that no shaping or posing is applied to the figure--that the figure is in its default state.

Then, apply the new shape that you transfered.

Next, in the Scene tab, make sure your figure is selected, then go to Edit>Figure>Rigging>Adjust Rigging to Shape...

You should be able to leave all the settings at their default for the next popup in this instance. Click Accept.

After that, in the Parameters tab, right click anywhere and selecet Edit Mode.

With Edit Mode on, right click on your new shape's parameter and click on ERC Freeze. Click accept.

At this point, test your figure to see if you're having the same problem. If you're not, then you need to save the morph. Zero the figure again at this point so that there are no poses or shapes applied.

Go to File>Save As>Support Asset>Save Modified Assets. You'll get a popup asking you if you're sure. Hopefully, the only thing showing up in the popup as modified is your new morph. It may also say the base G3M duf. Assuming you zeroed the figure first, it should be fine to click accept.

If you have more than that showing up as modified when you go to Save Modified Assets, then you'll need to save the morph individually which is more complicated. We'll cross that bridge if we come to it.

Could you give us a video tutorial about the way you use it? Can it transfer from G3M to G2&1M too?

I thought this would be useful for Daz Studio users who use Unwrap3D.

Here's a new method to convert textures between Genesis 2 and Genesis 3:
http://unwrap3d.com/u3d/tutorial_repaint_mesh.aspx

It uses the morphs found here:

Male:
http://www.sharecg.com/v/83139/gallery/21/DAZ-Studio/Texture-Conversion-Helper-morphs-G3M

Female:
http://www.sharecg.com/v/81631/gallery/21/DAZ-Studio/Texture-Conversion-Helper-morphs

It's similar to Blender's baking technique, but much easier to use, in my opinion.  As long as you can morph two characters into the same shape, you can transfer textures between any generation of Genesis.

I've tested it as much as I can, but if anybody wants to provide feedback, please let me know.

Another test of sorts - I tend to heavily blend elements of various characters and morph packages together, so I tried it here, including Star 2.0, Tween Julie 7, Girl 7, and Teen Josie 7, and others (full details on DA).  Interestingly, adding the SSS options from another character on Star 2.0's skin worked beautifully, which surprised me. 

Thank you!  These are lovely earrings, which I will definately be making use of. 

I work in 3Delight, so I can't show a render in Iray.  However, I can should what they look like converted to 3Delight materials with Ubersurface Base.

By the way, they autofitted to G3F easily for me by choosing G2F in the autofit box. 

Morphs:  The triangular shaped morph worked great, but I didn't see any change when I used Change Shape Oval or Scale Drop.  Is that because I am using Genesis 3?

Howdy Everyone,

I just purchased (for the first time in a while) a V4 character, to use in Carrara 8.5 Pro, and am having a strange issue.  I can find the morph injections, but I cannot find any of the textures or materials (comes with custom skin tattoos, makeup, etc...).  I normally just use the Content tab (not Smart Content), but I spent two hours searchign for all fo the missing materials, and came up dry.  I then went and tried to load up the character usign DAZ Studio, and low-and-behold there is a "materials" folder listed in the Poser content, but it is not listed in Carrara?  Is this opition hidden somewhere else?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

BTW, the Character in quesiton is: http://www.daz3d.com/hailee-v4

I'd love an outie belly button morph

You would have to install Daz Studio on the laptop to render in Iray. You could use Content Gatherer to zip up only the files used by the scene and then transfer that zip file to your laptop. On the laptop you would have to unzip those files into a library and set Daz Studio Content Directory Manager to look at that library.

I think you have a LOT of people excited there for a minute LOL

But now with Star 2.0 she can be MADE! :D Yay!

@scorpio - Lovely image - it's really unique and cool! She's so unearthly! Cool work! :)

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??
