I wound up installing it to the default location in C:/Program Files, then cut and paste those files into the location Daz is installed in. I confirmed that everything is where the manual says they should be, and Headshop's still not showing up in Daz.

The likely reason is that the "abaloneHeadShopLoader.dll" in the plugin folder is the wrong bit size (32 vs 64).

We can skype and I will be able to confirm via screensharing. Let me know at [email protected]

 

I can't seem to contact you via Skype, so I sent you an email.

Purchased the Full version today and it installs Successfully. However the installer (I watched it) does not install any of the Plugins or needed files into the (Program Files\Daz 3D\Daz Studio 4) Directory. it only installs the (Daz 3D\Headshop plugin)

however the InstallLog states differently showing it successfully installed in Daz Studio 4.. but the files are nowhere to be seen

I even tried installing as admin and it did not install the needed daz studio 4 files

Question:

Per the Product page:

"HeadShop 11 works with the following figures:

• Genesis 2 Male and Female
• Genesis 3 Male and Female
• Genesis 8 Male and Female"

Also, Per the *same* product page:

"HeadShop 11 works with all Genesis figures (Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3 and Genesis 8)"

So... (?)

The previous version (10) *did* support "Genesis", so it could go either way, and the main product start-up image text also reflects Genesis1 support.

My initial experiments indicate the first version is correct: no Genesis1 support, unless I'm missing something obvious.

Am I off to get a refund? or ... ?

I purchased head shop 11 . The morph is applying to the character in Daz Studio but there is a huge crease under the chin along the seams which is unsightly whenever it is applied. What is causing this and how do I fix it. I don't want to return the product as I feel it has potential. Help ?

I've just purchased HeadShop 11 but keep getting an error whenever I try to use it:

1. I load Genesis 8 Male and select it in the Scene Tab.
2. I select the Edit menu from the title bar and click 'Start HeadShop...'
3. A dialogue box opens entitled "HeadShop 6: Genesis 8 Male" (I'm not sure why that says '6 'instead of '11'...)
4. I click 'accept'
5. An error box appears entitled 'HeadShopLoader' with the error message "Unable to export .obj file".

The product is installed and the registration key has been entered.  My PC meets all of the specs listed on the product page. 

My log file reads as follows:

2018-11-26 23:10:22.972 WARNING: Object::connect: No such signal QButtonGroup::clicked(int) in dzfacemorphloaderdlg.cpp:190
2018-11-26 23:10:22.972 WARNING: Object::connect:  (receiver name: 'DzFaceshopMorphLoaderDialog')

Can anyone tell me how to fix that problem, please? 

"Daz Model Not Found" error.

As soon as I drop a picture into the dialog box, I get a popup with this message.

Does this have something to do with my daz library not stored in the same drive as my daz app folder?

Hi I purchased Headshop 11 today and I keep getting a fatal exception error, when I hit apply, after loading a picture. I meet all the requirements but it is unusable at this point any solution or advice would be helpful.

Here is the microsoft framework error log.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

It is perfectly possible to do with HeadShop 11, although hard to imagine that you can get a high resolution image....

So far every single picture I've tried produces something like this with the eyes in the eyebrows and the mouth stretched thin.  The autodots look right in each one and I haven't tried anything too crazy (front facing, neutral non-obscured pictures).

I tried Genesis 2 and 3 female and the result is the same.

Any users have any success?

Hello,

I've read the things I found about these two programs. Both shall be able to create a "character", or better said, a morph.

Most seem to use them to "copy" "real live characters", I'm more interessted in bringing "virtual characters" to DAZ. Just for the sake of the example, if i'd take https://free3d.com/3d-model/dennis-posed-004-812878.html and would render him, and then load the render as a portrait in Headshop or Facegen, or, other example, if I use a high quality artwork...

Is there a chance it would work (Textures are secondary, I'm primarily interessted in the morph), or should I kick the idea to the bin?

Does HeadShop 11 work with just Daz3d 4.10? Not working in 4.11.

If you right-click on Headshop's entry in the Installed tab of DIM (assuming that it can be and was installed that way) and select Show Installed Files the line at the top will show which version(s) of DS it installed to.

Not found in 4.11 version

HeadShop does not install via DIM, it has its own installer. With that said, you can install it to Daz3d 4.11.

HeadShop and OneClick are different products, so, the answer is no; you are supposed to have the previous version of HeadShop (HS10) installed to be able to upgrade.

Abalone, Could you please clear up the confusion over the upgrade prices. In particular, if you own Headshop One Click, are you entitled to the upgrade price?

I'm pleased to see this thread as I have FaceGen Artist Pro and I was thinking of buying Headshop as I assumed it would be better! I won't bother now as the consensus here is that the former is the better product. I've actually been disappointed with FaceGen as way too much fine-tuning is required to get the character to look close to the photo, plus as someone else above mentioned, the head always seems too large or fat on the body. But what surprises me about the various Headshop versions' promo images is that some of the faces don't look at all like the photos! I also don't understand why they show a frontal view photo and then a part-profile rendering, or why they use non-matching hair. I want to see a front view rendering of a front view face so the two can be properly compared. Ditto profiles. [Naughty aside: are their promo staff ex-Facadebook? I ask that as Facadebook aka Fastfoodbook aka Fakebook apparently have a brain-storming team whose objective is to come up with the best idea to make the interface that little bit worse than it was previously! The most illogical and/or impractical idea always wins!].

The reason for the promo to show part-profile (original photo) and frontal (3D head created by HeadShop) is to show how HeadShop can work with 3/4 profiles and rotated heads. Ditto for smiling (orginal photo) and unsmiling (3D head).

The promo pictures are helpful. That said, it seems at best an extra morph tool. The texturing still looks off (and it just copies the visible side; Obama has an extra mole in the result). When they said it could handle smiles, I thought we'd see the actual smiles--and that would be awesome, but the results still just show closed-mouth smiles.

Note that although FaceGen states that it needs a straight frontal shot, sometimes it can handle slightly tilted/rotated heads. Just depends.

"When they said it could handle smiles, I thought we'd see the actual smiles--and that would be awesome, but the results still just show closed-mouth smiles." 

The reason we show transition from open-smile picture to closed smile is that we can do it (and FaceGen can not). If you attempt to do this in FaceGen, the teeth texture will end up on the lips and not on the teeth. This is why we show open-smile photo to closed smile 3D head conversion. Obviously the default is open-smile to open-smile.

OK, so that means the actual result will be an open smile? Would love to see some pictures showing the open smile conversions. Thank you for your responses!

Hi all!

Does Headshop 11export an OBJ that is Genesis 8 Female/Male base geometry? Or is it using a geograft? 

What I'm getting at is... Once I've created a morph, can I save & redistribute it as a morph asset for Genesis 8?

Also is the resulting head texture compatible with the Genesis 8 Female/Male UVs respectively?

Thanks so much!

Yes, If you click on the Export button HeadShop 11 does export full head as an OBJ file, complete with textures. 

@info_b3470fa520

Thanks for the response. I just want to be clear. The exported geometry matches Genesis 8 Female or Male's geometry at base resolution, right? And the textures are for the actual Genesis 8 Male/Female head, matching the UVs that come with Genesis 8 Female and Male? I just want to make sure this is doing what I want before I buy it. Thanks for the help!

Yes

Headshop OC applies its own texture..from photo, I guess. Can I use my own ? Like from Skin Builder?

Yeah, that's pretty impressive. Of course there's still so much stuff ending up in the texture that we don't want, like those major smile lines, eyelids, hair or lighting in general. Not much you could do about that though, I imagine.
