How do I use the transfer utility?

Sophia 9 looks pretty much the same as all the Daz originals. A 30-something average looking woman with the same skin tone and same average boring body. They should at least do a new Girl 9 or Aiko 9 or SOMETHING a little creative and different, The PA characters are always so much better than the Daz ones and priced much better. I have no interest in this bundle at all. 

Who is the character with this hair? This is a much more interesting character that would add a bit of something to the gene pool. I wish she was Sophia 9. 
it's not letting me upload an image. I was referring to the character here. The hair is cute too. https://www.daz3d.com/hs-riley-shades-hair-for-genesis-9-8-and-81-female

It's quite literally Mira 9 with either some of her young adult morph dialed in or some nose bridge slope tweaks, bigger breasts, Mira 9 makeup collection, FPE Monochrome & Colorful Tattoos mix, Nocturne Outfit + texture expansion, and Schoolgirl Sexy Lingerie outfit for Genesis 9 (rendo). I'm still trying to figure out her chin piercing - can't find a heart shaped one for the life of me.. maybe it's an earring that's been relocated. I think it's joelegecko who made that render.

I've purchased thr Uchenna morph for Genesis 8 female and after installing it doesn't load properly. The head shape and navel change size slightly but the morphs barely changes at all.

 

Is there a morph that will eliminate the gap between breast and the chest?

I was relieved to see the promos for dForce Salvage Tech show the outfit actually functioning as clothing:

The thumbnails for both the outfit and the texture expansion, and also some of Sophia's own promos, just show the outfit as basically sexy cosplay, which I have no interest in. A functional set of coveralls, though? All day.

I also rather need the closed versions, so i am happy whenever an open one has a closed version or morph in addition. I could use both on the same piece of clothing on occasion (even just for heat managment).

The missing Face Transfer issue is apprantly in the process of being fixed.

There is a sample script showing how to use alternative textures here http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/specific_ui/appsettings_facetransfer/start

Does this convert full figures only or can it convert single morphs? I would like to transfer specific morphs and not all of my G8 morphs to G9.

The best way to convert individual morphs is using the transfer utility. Both RRSY converter and Manfriday merge these morphs together.

Hello,

I seem to recall a product being released a while ago that allowed you to transfer morphs from a G8 character to a G9. I don't mean the character converters that Riversoft does, but a plug-in or utility to transfer specific morphs. However, I can't seem to find a product like this. Does anyone know what this produck is, or am I just imagining it?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

It could do with a caching pass so the first time you play through it's slow and the second time it's super smooth.  Anyway if you want to play all frames without dropping any there's an option on the hamburger menu on the top right (Play All Frames).

 

We really need this on the next version. no reason to render every frame over and over.

Don't forget that morph deltas (the shape chnage) are not loaded until needed - so on first play through the scene is potentially loadign various JCMs for the bends that were not needed for frame 0.

Thanks, Josh.

I will experiment more, but it fixes my problems with Face Transfer 2 characters, so I am  happy, so far.

 

I realize that my difficulty of having old projects open on a new machine is that there is more than one Daz Library that Daz accessed on the old machine. Slightly different libraries on different hard drives. Is there a way to merge libraries...one library to rule them all? 

The alternative is I transfer each library and make sure it's noted in the database manager. This would involve a lot of duplicate files.

Your figure image will probably be removed for violation of the nudity TOS. There is something strange by the crotch, though. What is causing that black area near her left thigh?

Oh thank you, I re-upplaoded a censored version! and you're actually seeing through her body because I'm using Golden Palace (3rd party genitalia addon) and when I remove it to export i creates a hole- wait..

THAT WAS IT.

the Golden Palace addon once actually deleted from my scene deleted the mesh hole and the morph imports correctly!

If I export with Golden Palace ON it doesnt work, if i just hide Golden Palace it does not work.

What settings did you have in the OBJ export dialogue? If you reload the OBJ is it just the base Genesis 9, without any additions?

Thank you for the suggestion, I exported the obj with the settings in the first attached image (including base resolution in parameters), selected only genesis 9 again from the scene tab and try to import through Morph Loader Pro and get the error (Warning: Geometry did not match, failed to create morph).

So I did what you suggested and imported the obj into a new project (see second attached image), and i can clearly see there are no addons. Then I tried adding the same obj as a morph and it works (only in this new project). So i deleted my character and in the same new project added a base genesis 9 character and tried adding the obj morph and get the error.

I've included more attached images for other export settings I've tried.

 

 

 

 

Richard: The forum finally let me upload some picts. So I uploaded the before and after images of when I used the Transfer Utility. That is what I mean by ballooning up

Lilweep, yes I tried to tick the Reverse source shape option that Richard suggested. Problem is - it won’t let me check it. I have uploaded the Transfer Utility settings window to show you what settings I do have checked.

Do either of you have any other ideas? If not, thanks for trying to help.

I do not know, if that is possible, but would be great to have a possibility to remove brows on Genesis 9

and apply LIE Makeup afterwards.

Characters created with Face Transfer 2 have brows embeded in the materials.

I have a brow remover for Genesis 8 https://www.daz3d.com/brow-remover-for-daz-studio

and it works great, but it does not support Genesis 9.

I also wonder if it would be possible to masks cheeks miscoloration often happened on Face Transfer 2 characters with the blush in LIE Makeup.

You could use one of the foundation presets included with LMM to cover the eyebrows, at least enough to not be too visible when using fiber or card-based brows that were included in the Genesis 9 starter essentials (or any other brow attachment).

This could also help with the cheek discoloration you mentioned, as it would create a more uniform skin tone across the whole face. Of course the blush preset may also help with this - depends on the placement!

Within Morph Loader Pro, or GoZ Update Options dialog if you use GoZ..., set "Yes" to Reverse Deformations, "Deltas Only" to Overwrite Existing.

I am definitely getting a prompt, 'such morph already exists, enter new name'.

Thanks for reply! I am doing something wrong, if I am trying to apply a morph with the same name as head morph to the tear, I getting an error regarding duplicated name and a prompt to name it differently. Hmm. So, again just to clarify, - I have loaded a Genesis 9 dev model and applied my head morph to it. It worked. - Added a tear object from Anatomy folder from essentials, and applied my tear morph (from the obj file with the same name as my head morph) to it. Got an error.
