I every so often unintall third party content like original characters from popular games and other popculture stuff. I uninstall by deletign all the folders within data, people, runtime but sometimes when I have Daz open I can still see there morphs in the parameters pane. I went in to edit mode to delete the morph but shouldn't it just disappear automatically? Just wondering.

I also bought it right away, great help. Now, if only someone could sort the annoying eye problem with G9 so that we don't have to adapt them by hand every time we create a morph, that would be SO great ...

quando uscì la prima generazione di Genesis avevo tanta di quella roba per V4 che la continuai a usare

Ecco cosa succede a non leggere le istruzioni... 

Tutta la roba per V4 funziona alla perfezione su G1. C'è perfino il morph per avere la forma di V4 su G1.

Però con G1 hai MOLTA più libertà di azione.

Ma no, no, le istruzioni le avevo lette e avevo anche acquistato qualche tool per convertire mi pare le pose. Con l'autofit mi pare che i vestiti potessero essere adattati senza conversioni ma le scarpe, specie se con i tacchi alti, venivano malissimo. Se non ricordo male c'erano anche dei cloni per i characters in modo che si potessero usare le textures perché le UV maps erano diverse. Alla fine dei conti troppo sbattimento, restai su V4 anche se qualche render con G1 lo feci, mi sa che ho anche qualcosa pubblicato su DA.

Face Transfer Shapes 2 launched today!  I actually made it before Christmas but the testing was delayed because of the holiday season but hey, it's here now. I hope that it will address a lot of the things that people have been seeing with FT2, even though it is a huge improvement on the original Face Transfer. I'd love to see what people are doing with it.

In my cart now! Hopefully I'll have some time to play with it this evening.

Her 'full bust and a perfect waist-to-hip ratio' are not 'fullfilling your dreams' ?

3D Art Freebie Challenge December 2023 - January 2024 "Driving home for..."

 

[Best watched at full size for details.]

"Some warmth"

Starring: Alysha and Walther

The tale: (Not entirely fictional)

It has been exactly ten years since Walther was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. He is doing well, but every now and then he leaves the house without saying anything about where he is going and for how long. Today Alysha is a bit worried, the temperature is expected to drop considerably and she thinks Walther is not wearing a coat, so she decides to go look for him by car. As if guided by something she found him almost immediately. Walther didn't notice her arrival, he was too mesmerized with the beautiful colors of the autumn forest...

I really like MB Yoya's head sculpt and textures, but can't see myself ever using her body morph.

The body is far too grown-up and stylised for the almost childlike face. I don't know... Yoya's face is certainly very well done, but to me she's just another character in the almost endless line of pale, sickly and slightly sub-depressed looking East Asian (pre-)teens. A strange genre...

I really like MB Yoya's head sculpt and textures, but can't see myself ever using her body morph.

@Halcon Bluesky - Thank you so much! I tried to show the supermodels personalities, not only their beauty, and I must have succeeded because you have noticed that! 

I am waiting now for the lifecast of Claudia Schiffer to arrive which I will scan and use as a template for shaping the morph. I don't know why but in close up she looks very good to me but from afar she looks more like Robin Wright. Weird. I hope the lifecast will help me understand where I am going wrong. The lifecast isn't ready yet and it also has to travel to me, so it will take a little while before I release this mini bundle.

It is fun to sculpt such iconic beauties that defined the 1990's era. I needed a change before I go back to Bette Davis and Joan Crawford and I've been thinking about sculpting the Big Five for a while. I am having a great time working on them. It is a much different experience than working on classic movie stars, because there is so much more material available online of such better quality that I can use as reference.

Thank you again for taking the time to write some heartfelt words.

Cheers,

AOBB

Kitbashing multiple hairs together is probably still the way to do it.

I'd really like to avoid it. As I mentioned above, I'm doing animations, and there's going to be quite many of them. And I have big doubts about a braid "by itself" going through dForce properly.

I know you think "classic Lara Croft hair with the long braid and that "slightly messy" front" describes what you want fully and perfectly, but google images gives me too many possible Lara Croft hairstyles to pick exactly what you're after. Actual pictures of what you want would reall help - you'll need them anyway if you ever find this person to build the hair for you.

You're probably right. Well, there are some pics that show what I want decently. This one has a 90%-perfect hair shown from the front. Hair, not the character herself. The only two "buts" I'd mention here is that the braid has to be a little longer (for which a length morph would've been nice to have) and a little thinner (again, a morph for that would've been great to have):

Then there's the Leony Hair product readily available at the DAZ Store. As I said before, I think its front is perfect (with a partial wet setting set to it, not in its dry state), and I would use it as the primary reference for "my" hair's front/head part:

 

And then there's the classic. This pic shows clearly how long the braid has to be. Probably "Make it like this but less 1997 and more 2024" can be said about it:

If you're able to find two (or more) hair meshes that match your requirements, be aware that Outoftouch has a hair shader product on sale at Rendo that you can apply to any hair - so you can use that to pull the look together. I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to link to it, but it's called "OOT IrayPair Hair Shaders" 

You have the option to save these armors as either a confroming figure,  using the transfer utility,  or as parented props placed on the character. 

If you already know which character figure you are putting the armor on and don't plan to use it on any other character,  then the parent prop route is the quickest option. The static prop attaches to the body part it is covering  and retains its shape. For example bracers on the forearms. In simple terms place the armor where you want it,  and in the scene hierarchy, parent the armor prop to the respective bone of the character figure.

The other option is to use the transfer utility to make that same armor a conforming piece of clothing. The advantage of that is,  the armor will generally conform to any character figure for that generation. The downside is it is no longer static like the prop,  it will be affected by all the morphs and bends of the figure.  Those bracers mentioned above,  may now deform because of the muscle morphs in the forearm,  or the bends at the elbows and wrists.  Clothing in the store have corrective morphs that adjust for these deformations. It is a methodical step process to address, the bends and twists in the bone rigging. Then come weight maps.    If you go this route,  that may be something you will have to address yourself.

Why do you export UV and normals to create a morph?

Because 1st, that's default options which has no impact to creating morph. 2nd, sometimes I do need them for other tasks, so I saved them as my Daz Preset. Then I don't have to check / uncheck them from time to time.

If one doesn't need them, just uncheck them from the preset.

I've never gotten a duplicate formula error ever, and didn't know you couuld get one until I was today years old. 

As far as baking, I'd evern went as far as manually deleting all of the joint settings using the paremeter pane. Repeatedly I've tried various things to the point of insanity.

Links, which is what ERC Freeze creates, are managed through the Property Hierarchy pane.

I eventually got it to take by creating a new morph,naming it the skeleton, and baking the old morph to make it empty with the skeleton underneath. That was working great.

Until I loaded again a few minutes ago and the joints were whacked again.

With yet another new morph I think I have it working now. Maybe. It seems to be only this one morph being a problem. I'm nonplussed on what I did to create the issue. Sure would like to know so I can avoid in the future.
