No I got no serial #

By the way, although I'm not an English speaker, I understand the meaning of "WILL" perfectly ----> "Purchasing Face Transfer 2 in pre-release means you will get access to the unlimited version in the beta". Will can be "after purchasing". But for DAZ marketing it was too difficult to write "...in a future DAZ version.

I just want to take a moment to appeciate releasing Face Transfer 2 and Faceless on the same day.

Did you get a serial number after you made the purchase? Does anything Face Transfer-related pop up under Window:Panes?

It says we will access beta. So DAZ sell product as beta with no beta available It is just funding !!!!!

It says that it will be available in the DS beta first, then later there will be an update for the general release. If you do not wish to pre-purchase then don't, it is up to you to weigh the cost and benefit of each offer before deciding whether tot ake it up or not (or even to decide you are not interested enough to do any weighing). It does sound as if it will have the same trial option as the original face Transfer, you will be able to use it with watermarks but will be limited to three full savs without purchasing the non-demo license, so you can always wait and see how much of an improvement it is if the sweetner is not tempting.

Blender, Ultimate Unwrap 3D, Blacksmith 3D, Zbrush

anything that does vertex colours and you can bake textures 

use your clone shapes to transfer, workflow varies between apps

So, let's say you have a Gen9 texture you want to convert to Gen8...you use the clone on Gen9 to make it into Gen8.  Then import that Gen9 figure into the baking program and bake it.  Does the next texture become compatible with the regular Gen8 base (depending if you picked male or female, of course)?

as I said it varies between programs and I don't know how to do it in Blender which is the free option

there is also 3Dwrap some use I know nothing about except it's apparently very pricey

 

in Ultimate Unwrap3D I use the repaint option under export

I import 2 identical shapes with different UVs  and export as Ultimate Unwrap.U3D files or use their DAZ plugin to export each mesh as .u3d

collapsing UVs so don't export as UDIM

the clones just have to be the same shape, it can work either way but G9 includes G1:2:3,8 abd 8:1 clones

it actually works with any identical shaped 3D meshes with different UVs

you choose the source and target and it generates textures 

with Zbrush the fact G3, 8:8.1&9 are UDIM is what's important 

it's rather complicated TBH and I only use it if wanting 8K textures

I need to export both highly subdivided and convert the textures to vertex colours again using UW3D or Meshlab

then use Zprojection to transfer the vertex colours over and the multimap exporter to export the texture maps

I have SubstancePainter, and I think I can do this.  I'm still new with the program, but it might work.  It didn't even occur to me to use clones to match the shape.  Substance Painter also uses UDIM.  Of course, it will be trial and error.

Thank you Wendy!

You are right. I call it FUNDING !

here is what we get after buying ----> see picture attached

I have to admit that the product page is a little vague. "Purchasing Face Transfer 2 in pre-release means you will get access to the unlimited version in the beta (Public Build) versions, as well as the General Release version which will be launching in the coming weeks."

To me that does indicate that purchasing now gets you some kind of access to the Beta today, so you can start playing with it right away, and then you'll get the full version when it's ready in December.

But it could also be that buying now just means that you're able to buy in now at a lower price (30% off) than what it cost on launch day?

Face Transfer 2 definitely appears to be a product devleoped by DAZ3D but the artist is not listed as 'DAZ Original' . This prevents using the DAZ+ coupon for DOs; thereby once again limiting the usefulness of the DAZ+ coupon.  Just another reason to consider not renewing my DAZ+ membership.

It may be that there are contractural requirements, if this is not purely in-house Daz development, which mean it has to be trated separately.

Where is the product. I buy it....but nothing in DAZ nor in Installed plugins ?????? vaporware 2?

Un intermezzo ai guai di MM... che pericolo per il portafogli l'annuncio di Face Transfer 2 con supporto per Genesis 9! Sinora ho evitato come la morte la nuova generazione proprio perché l'usatissimo ed adusatissimo FT si fermava alla Gen 8, ma ora... brrr!!!

Yes,sorry. I was referring to pc setup. Will face transfer 2 work with Intel processors/64 bit windows?

With W10/11 it doesn't matter which processor there is, as long as the operating system is 64bit version.

The processor reference was for MAC's

Do be aware that there are intergenerational pose transfer products, both free & paid for. I have created a freebie script that copies the pose from a V4 character & pastes it to a G8F character as well as possible (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/448391/v4-a4-pose-transfer-to-g8f - at Rendo there have been over 2400 downloads of this script) and there are other freebie scripts and things like Bone Minion by Riversoft.

This may help if you are less than perfect at posing, but it removes the need for practice. It all depends on what you want most, the practice or the poses..

Regards,

Richard

Richardandtracy, richardandtracy... why does that sound so familiar?  Oh yeah I have some of your freebies already.  Thank you so very much.  I purchased a G3-8 to G9 pose converter/batch converter from here and I really like it so I am familiar with the concept.  I'm going to download the V4/A4 to G8F transfer freebie now & will try it out.  It may take some time but I'll post an update here as soon as I'm able to.  Thanks again!

In here ~~ Then Show Assets in Mapped folder...which will lead you to Poser Formats folder(s)...

Thanks.  I checked there again but Victoria 4.2 Base does not show.  Only the other one wich I think is just textures, Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 Female.    Victoria 4.2 Base shows purchased on the site but does not show up in anywhere the DIM.

Can you set a filter in DIM to locate V4.2 Base product as below ? Or try to re-import metadata ?

As for Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 Female, (http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/16559/file_list), there're just 2 usable CLONE files for Auto-Fitting. When you load V4's garment on G2F, you can see the options...

I had an encrypted password file accident a while back.  My DAZ password wouldn't work.  The team here was very helpful and had to transfer all my purchases to a new account.  That one could have gotten lost?  I don't know.  I think to update metadata I'd have to sign into my account in DAZ Studio and accept a user agreement.  I didn't go to Haaaaaaaaavaaaaaaard Law School so I just don't do that.  When you say Haaaavaaaard you have to stick your pinky out.      V4.2 Base is not to be found in my DIM.  I don't know if you can still download the zip files from here.  I'll look into that.  Thanks for the info.

I also do not have in my plugins, just Face Transfer (1)  Also, when do we get the $30 free stuff for this purchase?

If you bought it already, you should have selected the free stuff at the same time.

The FT2 is pre-order, which means there is no product yet.

The promo page says;

Purchasing Face Transfer 2 in pre-release means you will get access to the unlimited version in the beta (Public Build) versions, as well as the General Release version which will be launching in the coming weeks.

According to the store page it only contains the trial version. Presumably that is a mistake? Also the "Link to Blog" doesn't lead to the intended destination - not that I could see a relevant article on the blog anyway.

Confirmation of its compatibility with G8/G8.1 would also be appreciated. 

It is pretty clear to me that this is exclusive to Genesis 9. Because of course it would be. Daz wants everybody to move to Genesis 9.
