Make sure that the moprh is zeroed (and has a zero default value) the  use File>Save As>Support Assets>Morph Asset to save it/them so that it will be available on all figures of that base. Or just save a character perset but use that to load a new figure, not to modify an existing figure.

Hello!

I'm using Blender 4.0.2, Daz 4.22 and Diffeo 1.7.3.1938.

When I export a G8F character from DAZ without favorites and use easy import into blender, everything works as expected.  The clothes follow the character and I can create a rig without a problem.  When I attempt to load a G8F following the same process with favorited expressions in daz, I'm running into problems (the clothes do not follow the character properly).  The favorited morphs are importing correctly on the face (they are expressions and work as expected), but I must be missing a step because I can't seem to get this to work correctly.  I have all of the default Gen8 import options selected (including transfer to clothes).  I have tried using just the "Daz Favorites" Easy import option as well as saving out those favorites as a json file and then using the "Use Favorites Morphs" option in the importer as well.

Running blender from the command line, there are no import errors for the character.  The first error appears when trying to create the rig, but clearly, the problem already exists since I can't move a bone and have the clothes follow after the custom import.

Help!

How did you compare of Face Transfer 2 Trial VS HeadShop pro 23 go? I only have testet the former and still have later on my wishlist.

I think Face-Transfer 2 has some potential but is still only "looks good from the front, but needs heavy ajustment from the side", because you only can give it one frontal image and no side view. If you could give it multible images from different angles (not only straight front and straight side) and with help from an AI, I think this would be the best photo to 3d head software you can get.

One downside of the AI (i presume) is, if your person have a exceptional eye shape like narrow or slanted eyelids, Face transfer always ignores this and "thinks" the person has just blink and generate not squinted and (Genesi 9) normal eye shapes. It always has done this on my tests anyway.

hello !  if i purchase the Face Transfer Unlimited (v1) now, does that include upgrade to the v2 (beta nd official). or will it be seperate purchase/upgrade fee

thanks !

They are separate - the original supports Genesis 8, the new Face Transfer 2 supports Genesis 9.

The textures skin builder uses are made for G8F UVs, which is why they don't match V8.1 texture which uses G8.1F UVs.

Maybe you could use Map Transfer tool in DS to create a "G8 UVs" version of Victoria 8.1 skin maps, and use your skin builder overlays over that version?

I did a search for Face Transfer 2 in the store and it nevert showed. Is it not released yet?

FT Ultimate showed up, but that's not FT2

I wonder if Ultimate would be better for me anyway right now, since I cannot use Genesis 9. Only 8.1 and earlier.

 

Ideas?

There are different considerations to the original Face Transfer, as I mentioned in that class. I used it virtually exclusively from late 2021 into this spring, before dabbling in various Franken-configurations, combining products while experimenting with G9. FT2 is for G9, so if you're staying put at G8/G8.1, original Face Transfer + Face Transfer Shapes would be the Face Transfer option. There are several good threads here in the forum, back a few pages now, on the subject of FT and the other products (like FaceGen) that are out there. I could gather up some links if you want to see more.

I appreciate the offer, but that's okay. I wouldn't really have time to dive in just yet. At least I know where to start looking - and I'm sure I can figure out how to proceed from there! :)

This is all very interesting stuff!

I think you you mean Face Transfer Unlimited  ,and if you are only using 8.1 and older  ,it should make you happy ,along with PhilW's add on for it,.Face Transfer Shapes

Face Transfer 2 according to Richard "It is a pre-order, the product itself is not yet available (look for a new Public Build to add it first, with the General Release to follow later)."

I am sometimes surprised to find what I have in my library.  But I apparently have those teeth,  and heres a straight iray render of the M4 poser prop and materials. They have a denture morph, yet are still quite big.

Just tested using Face Transfer 2 on Genesis 8. Materials are not the same quality as for Genesis 9...

but I can fix shape around mouth and chin by using https://www.daz3d.com/face-transfer-shapes-for-genesis-8

HI,
I can't find face transfer 2. The first is activated (I bought it some time ago), but 2 isn't there in the plugins. How do I activate it? I purchased it but it is not present in the plugins.
There is nothing in the daz manager install. I have already downloaded everything I could download and install.

That's right as vwrangler says. RSSY Clothing Converters (no matter which version) never transfer matetrial presets because the UV(s) of converted clothing has no change. You can just apply the original material preset from G8's product to the converted ones.

There isn't a way currently to transfer a morph as "baked in" to the character and also as a dynamic morph.  You can set the morph to the same value in the character blueprint to apply it though.

According to the product information on its page, it edits the metadata so that you can use the materials from Smart Content for both the G8 and G9 versions of your clothing. It doesn't copy the materials files themselves, and unfortunately, the product information page doesn't say that. The manual is also a bit unclear; it says that it removes materials files from certain types of conversion without explicitly saying that it will not copy materials files.

Anyway, to be clear, the script doesn't transfer materials files at all. It only alters the metadata in Smart Content so they can be used with the new version of the clothing. If you don't use Smart Content, you'll need to copy the materials files to your new directory yourself.

More information is available in the vendor's support thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/614111/released-rssy-clothing-converter-from-genesis-8-to-genesis-9-commercial/p1

The scrupt transfers the outfit but not Materials or Dforce settings for that matter. So I go back to select material files so i can transfer  or convert them to the new directory for G9 and it gives error message "No Clothing Files Added" and instructs me to check some option boxes whitch I do, but it does not convert material files for the dress, it just transfers it without any features as intended.

I should mention that the name of the dress is dForce Sincerity Dress for Genesis 8 Female and after I looked it up I can see that the textures for it I purchased as a separate product which might explain why mats did not transfer - they were sold as a separate product. And than before completing my reply here I tried to convert another outfit that included mats with the product Imka Dress. And that outfit the scrupt does non seem to convert or save to a new folder at all. I tried it as save files, I tried it as save directory. It runs the scrupt but nothing happens.

Fantastic! I never actually saw this in progress until today, when PaulaWP did a wonderful presentation on it, showing off some of these amazing creations! Bravo to the lot of you doing this stuff. Really, Really freaking Awesome!!!

There was a wonderful Daz Studio 4.22 Community Workshop webinar (free) at Digital art Live today. I got to show some new animation work, Paula showed us how great Face Transfer 2 is, Slater was Slater - always fun, amazing and full of wisdom, and we got to see a bunch of community Daz Studio art along with a fun discussion around the new features of 4.22

I love these things! We get to get together and hang out and talk Daz Studio! So Cool!!!
