The issue is resolved, it had to do with the right on the Mac. You need to reboot into safe mode command +r and alter the rights csrutil disable in terminal. After that I rebooted and my headshop works now.

I am also running into the same issue and getting the error message regarding Headshop closed before it... What can I do the resolve it? I tried al before mentioned actions but it does not resolve the issue.

HeadShop 10.2  Custom face morphs from Photo's. OK, I have HeadShop 10.2 working great with no problems exporting the custom morph to Genesis 2 Male or Female in the DAZ Studio Scene but how do I transferee the head morphs from Genesis 2 to Genesis or Genesis 3 ? I can save the custom morphed Genesis 2 Figure and reload it , the Morph shows up in the Parameters Tab, under, Morphs, FaceShop, fs. and you can adjust the slider to change the face shape but when I try to use GenX 2 to transfure the face shape the morph does not showup.

I have GenX 2 with Genesis 1- 2 and 3 plugins. Is there something else I need ?

So my question is how do I move custom face morphs created with HeadShop 10.2 to other versions of Genesis ?  

I see... Thanks. Does Headshop do a better job if you don't take the textures?

Thanks a lot,

Me

@donovancolbert, my view is that if you don't like a particular aspect of a character that for sale, say it plainly; for example, if you don't like the shape of the face and lips, say it exactly that way. If the next character is the same way, don't repeat yourself and give them time to change how they're doing them, since they may already have another character in testing.

I don't disagree at all, here. But I'm also saying, some people aren't going to know WHAT it is about 3D Universe or FW or Sabby characters (or what they DO like, for that matter...) but they're still going to express their opinions that they think the characters are cute, or sexy, or unrealistic, or ugly, or whatever it is that they get from those character lines. I picked those 3 because all 3 of them seem to be very successful, very popular PAs who still get a lot of vague, general criticism for their products.
And of course, there is more than just characters. Not all sets or utilities are created equal - and often this is where I find my biggest disappointments. When I feel cheated by the promos or the description, that is where I am most likely to be brutally critical. I think the price for Headshop OneClick is way overpriced when it is discounted to 50% off. It overpromises, under-delivers, crashes, and just generally disappoints. If it were being given away for free on ShareCG, it wouldn't be the best FREE utility or plug-in available there. That is brutally critical. HeadShop OneClic deserves the criticism. 

Saving grace for HeadShop... 
Sometimes using HeadShop to create the face morph and FaceGen to create the skin maps makes a good combination that might be more true to the source material. But the HeadShop morphs are harder to work with than the FaceGen morphs (transferring to diffferent genreations using GenX2, for example, seems impossible with HeadShop.) 
FaceGen does a GREAT job of taking the face texture and extrapolating it to the entire skin map. 

I purchased Headshop OneClic for about $15 and I think that was about $10 too much for it. It is a terrible product, mostly because it only creates a texture of the FACE which doesn't actually blend into the head, let alone the rest of the base model body. 
FaceGen Pro is light-years ahead of Headshop in this regard - and the version I have does a decent job even from marginal photographs. Cleaning up the source image in Photoshop can help. The morphs - generally I find that if I only dial them up to about 65-75% they look best - and they're never PERFECT... but when you go from a neutral expression to ANY other expression - you're dealing with musculature and bone structure and individual nuance that it is impossible for a 3D modelling program to accurately mimic, at least at this point. 
Most of the "character" of a FaceGen map does come from the skin map textures that FaceGen generates... but the truth is, take ANY character morph, and change the skin map, and it will radically change the entire character. Michael 7 wearing Leo 7s skin maps or Dale using Lee's skin - whatever. The skin map creates a LOT of the character. 
It is a good base to start off at, at the very least, and probably the best tool out there to get you started if you're trying to accurately recreate real people. 
The OTHER advantage I see with it - you get REAL and believable every day characters with FaceGen. You still have to work on the body with morphs to add imperfections - but in general, MOST of the models you're going to buy or see for free are very idealized examples of the human form - even most of the old characters like Abel and Opel are GOOD LOOKING old people. 
FaceGen brings the beauty meter down below 11 - so if you want renders that aren't completley populated by incredibly good looking people but instead with some average looking faces - it is a good place to start. 

There's HeadShop One-Click. Admittedly, I haven't used it in a long time, mostly because I like FaceGen infinitely more. When I last used HeadShop, it only generated textures for the face, so you'd be left dealing with adjusting other textures for the torso, legs, arms, etc. Maybe it's a lot better now, but I haven't tested it recently.

Well I know you can't redistribute FaceGen Artist Pro morph data, it's in their EULA (Singular Inversions), it's for personal use only without an about $2000 license for commercial use.

Their is another product called OneClick (HeadShop) that does a similar, although not as good a job as FaceGen Artist Pro, that you could inquire if they allow redistribution of the morph data. The product is for sale in the DAZ Store and the PA is called Abalone, LLC.

I hope someone can help me.

I have purchased HeadShop 9.5 for Mac.

I had problems with the terminal part of the installation procedure, since I got the message "operation not permitted". I then disabled the System Integrity Protection using "csrutil disable" and this time the 4postinstall.command was executed. The dzfaceshoploader.dylib is in the plugins folder.

However, when I start DazStudio, the dzfaceshoploader plugin is not loaded and listed red in the installed plugin window. What should I do?

Thanks

IIRC some various files must be installed to their default locations for Headshop to work properly: Please read through this thread for more info: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/2842741/#Comment_2842741

Help.

Recently had massive virus problem resulting in loss of computers , files, programs etc. ( WS32. Neshuta)

After two weeks work, back to normal almost.

A few months ago had purchased  Headshop One click .

Installed and worked great

Now, problems...some of which are no doubt resulting from Daz installed on separate internal drive.

DIM box is greyed out for installation, which leaves manual only.

Have installation program and licence.

Simply: can anyone tell me where in Daz Files are put?

Thank you

I bought it and thought it was ok and at least better than previous versions but soon thereafter I got Facegen and it was so much better that I don't use HeadShop One-Click any more.

I am tempted to buy it since it is on sale and much less pricey than facegen, and all I really want is the face morph shape. But my fear is that cheaper may mean more problems. Has any one tried it?

Hi Shannon,

I'm sorry for your loss.

There are several tools that can create the face from photos, but you need  very good photo resources, and the results vary greatly.

Here's one:

• https://www.daz3d.com/facegen-artist-pro
• It also has a workshop tutorial you can buy: https://www.daz3d.com/easy-character-creation-with-facegen

There's also this: https://www.daz3d.com/headshop-oneclick-plugin-win

Using Headshop 9.2 on mac and after selecting surface (face, lips ) geometry (head) I get a watch icon and this error message ..  Can anyone HELP!?

same here!!!

Really need help!

so was looking in my daz library folder Runtime/Daz/Characters to check if what I reinstalled was all there and locations as I also have headshop and facemaker pro so need to know locations of bases and I found textures for milman/woman, kids 4, g2 and g8 you textures for the eyes and various parts of the body in the characters section but not any others 

I looked everywhere found folders for all the bases in the people section (that not in runtime folder) but the texture folders in each were pics of the icons 

so looked in connect and found folders that contained textures couldn't see g3f saw g3m which was hair and folders wit pas names? so loaded studio went to surfaces after loading fig and browse to location which took me to connect and then I noticed something G3F is not classified as Genesis 3 Female she is in a folder called 'raiya' and in that folder are folders for 'eddie" which guess is code name for g3m and "jeane" went back to my daz library/Runtime/Textures and found her and him in the Raiya folder so I've also accidently found out who created the base Genesis 3 figures as Raiya is a PA here

Raiya created the textures, not (as far as I know) the figures. You do seem to be confusing textures (image files that are wrapped around the mdoel) and material presets/poses (files that appear in the content panes, and which have the actual settings file and a thumbnail for display in the content pane).

I have been trying to create a new face and I am using an older version of Faceshop ( Faceshop 6 ) because it works on my Mac. I created a head for Michael 4, so I ended up with an Obj file and the Bmp file ( which i edited in Photoshop). I am using Poser Pro 2012 and I am wondering in what directories I put the two files or what extra steps i need to take to get the new head on a Michael 4 in poser? I don't use Daz studio as it never recognizes my Micheal or Victoria models and I would like to only use poser if possible. I looked through the tiny read me file that came with Faceshop 6 an watched the video but it ends without explaining what to do with the the two files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yikes, glad I don't work in that research facility!

And that's pretty much what I am doing every night after dinner.  Although I don't have a suit of armour in my space lol.

Great scene with the coke, love the headshop renders!

So, the back story is my buddy Dave Watson aka Davlin Studios made a bunch of really cool videos with the old Creech using a combination of Poser, C4D and Carrara. But for the life of me I cannot get him to switch to Daz Studio. It's one of those "old dog new tricks" senarios. So, I take every opportunity to kid him via the comic renders when I can. He's a cool guy, remarkable similar in his views to my late father even though he's from another country.

Oh, those are Facegen. Never got any traction with Headshop even though I bought it.
