This is the answer, about how to connect Daz Studio with AI:

I was never able to get Face Transfer 1 to make good faces, how much of an improvment is 2 going to really be?

Just in progress setting up a new PC with Win11 and I wonder, if Diffeo can be used with 4.0 or if I should stay with 3.6 for now.

I have tons of Daz assets and I want to transfer them and enhance them in Blender, but there are significant changes regarding material and other things.
I'm unsure if I can go already with 4.0.

Any experience?

I have bought and registered face transfer 1 and for the life of me the new serial key for face transfer 2 doesnt allow you to press ok to confirm when you paste it in. am I doing something wrong?

Hi all, maybe just a heads up, or maybe (hopefully) it's a bug: the Face Transfer promo seems to take off the promised 30 dollars of the FULL price of the DOs included in the selection. I just tried with two items that were both 7 bucks atm, but only the first one registered in the cart as completely free. Someone might one to check whether this is really intended. Nice day all!

That is how it has worked in previous offers, but I can't get it right even with that assumption, at least not being logged in as a Daz+ member and having 35% punch discount.

Two issues with the face transfer 2 store page; the "link  to blog" just points to the store page, and there's no readme age for the product.

Hi,

Seems to be a stealth interactive 70% off sale ? It's not advertised anywhere and I'm not sure which type of products have it.

"Buy any 2 or more of today's Debut New releases to get an extra 10% off* on your entire order"

2 new debut release for 10% off cart doesn't seem to work. Well, not on the interactive licences at least, or products.

I would like to know if buying 2 debut new releases and getting the gift card 19%, Does the 10% off still apply to a different cart ? - ie I'd like to use the gift to buy interactive licenses.

ie - buy 2 debut new releases + gift card. Then buy Interactive licenses with gift card.

 

ps how to get the ability to paste images ?

 

 

 

To see if this worked, I had to log out so I wouldn't have any punches. Putting two debut, one of which was face transfer, into the cart took the discount to 37% which is the expected discount. I added the license for the other item and it also got the 10%. Face transfer only has the 3D print license but also got the discount as did a $25 gift card I added. (Normally stacking discounts don't apply to GCs so if that got missed, my enquiry may change that).

I'm really interested in Face Transfer 2, but kinda suspicious also. FT 1 only works (for me at least) with these additional morphs by PhilW (I think -?) that sort out the squashed-middle-face-problem. From the promos, it looks like FT 2 may have fixed thus, but since there are no clear profile shots, one can't be sure. So if anyone is getting the app anyways, would you please post some renders if you can? Much appreciated! 

The fact that it's Gen9 only was a big turnoff for me.  It looks pretty impressive, but I have to turn it down.  I don't use Gen9.  It looks amazing, and I wanted to try it out.  I hope they do make compatible for older models (Gen8.1 is hardly an antique). 

Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't even realize that. Huh, that's somewhat unnecessarily restricted use, I think. Still, would love to see some results. Kinda sad one doesn't get an upgrade discount, isn't it?

The 'LINK TO BLOG' is currently sending back to the main product page:

https://www.daz3d.com/face-transfer-2

And as far as I can see, there is currently no blog post about Face Transfer 2: the last one is about 'Mastering Lighting with Render Environment Modes in Daz Studio'.

Having said that, without that bogus link, I would not have seen two posts about subjects I'm interested with

How does the 'Get up to $30 in Daz Originals for free when you pre-order Face Transfer 2' work ?

Do you know if poly few preserves the morph data when the mesh data is saved? Had some clothing drop its morphs in lod's

Grrrrrrr... my blink morphs will not go into ANY slots I try.  I've tried most of the controller slots once I put in the main left blink morph but any attempts to get my own corrective into the mix is met with an error message.  As you can see it clearly works as a morph as it's applied at 100% on Fuzzy but getting it over to the correct line won't go.  

See the screen grab.  I really hate this, really I DO! 

 

I'm not so sure but I'm afraid you might've misunderstood the mechanism... You should use "Eye Blink" expression dials from Daz Originals + the corrective morphs you made with Zbrush to make Fuzzy's eyelids 100% closed... That's the SOP to work on a product level Character.

If "PABFuzzy_EyeBlink-L" and "PABFuzzy_EyeBlink-R" you created are the morphs that have already made Fuzzy's eyes fully close with no problem, you've just made "expression dials" rather than "corrective morphs".

If so, it's also doable (for the use of your own), then you just need to assign "PABFuzzy_EyeBlink" as the controller of "PABFuzzy_EyeBlink-L" and "PABFuzzy_EyeBlink-R"...

You know what I mean?

I have encountered this too. I think it has to do with the fact that even when you do a dForce sim, the morphs on the figure still affect the clothing mesh. Either that or the way the rigging (left pectoral, right pectoral, lower chest) is applied to the clothing item. This is a long-standing problem with how breasts are handled in DS. There are a lot of solutions out there that "mostly" work with enough time spent tweaking, but the results are never as good as they "should" be. I'd have thought dForce would have fixed this once and for all, but it doesn't seem so.

Try doing a play range simulation, with the morph not initially applied.

I still find this staggering 

I certainly use morphs in my animations and still don't get huge scene files as the vertex information for those morphs are all in data under the various PAs etc who created them

unless again I created them myself using morphloader and didn't save them as a morph asset and apply them.

I of course don't use Fit Control or mesh grabber and that might be what's causing this blowout 

any morphs I create are usually in Carrara and/or Zbrush and saved and applied afterwards 

my fibermesh hair files are massive but again not saved in the scene file itself.

one would need to know what you actually have in the scene that's causing frame 4 to increase the file so much

a morphloader import would blow it out so presumably a mesh grabber or fit control adjustment would too as basically an unsaved morph load

Your question is hard to read.

You need to set Controllers for your blink morph correctives, one at a time.

1. import your two blink corrective morphs (one for L and one for R side) via morph loader or GoZ or whatever

2. Bring up your Left Blink Corrective morph in Property Heirarchy tab (you can put in 'Blink' in the Search bar field, assuming you called it something with blink in the name, or there is another shortcut to bring them up in Property Heirarchy via the Paramaters tab)

3. In Property Heirarchy tab, expand your Left Blink Corrective morph to view its controllers. It obviously won't have any yet because you havent set them up.

4. In the 1st Stage Controllers section, you need to set something logical to 'Control' automatically when your Left Blink Corrective will be dialled in. The obvious choice would be to use the standard left blink morph as a Controller.  i.e., so when you dial in the left blink morph for the figure, your character Left Blink Corrective morph will also be dialled in.

To put the figure's blink left morph as a Controller, you can - while in Edit Mode - drag-drop from the Paramater tab into the Property Heirarchy tab.

5. In the 2nd Stage Controller section, you can put your character head morph as the 2nd Stage Controller, using Multiply as the option.  This means when your character is not dialled in (0%) it will multiply your blink correctives by 0.  In other words, your character correctives are restricted to only load when relevant character morph active.

then repeat for Right Blink Corrective.
