@richardandtracy - Hello Richard.  As I do daily, I was browsing through my list of YouTube subscriptions for new or not before seen videos a short while ago and came across one that Rauko posted six months ago - How To Use Genesis 8 Poses On Genesis 9 – wherein he discusses and demonstrates your G8F/M Pose Transfer to G9 script.  Thanks you!  I haven’t yet installed Genesis 9 but when I do, I will certainly install your script as well.

"Singing in the Rain"

(Inspiration - the 1952 movie)

I did a lot of hiding polygons using the Geometry Editor including modifying the building and hiding his hair so it didn't poke through the hat. Let me know if you want more details on how I did this.

No count: Daz Iray shaders, Genesis 8.1 Male

Free:

1. Debonair for G8.1M (morph)
2. Sokka for G8M (texture)
3. dforce 40s Mens Suit for G8M (this is the high res version which I will be releasing shortly, but you could achieve the same with the version I have linked here - and will update when the high res version is released)
4. Everyday hairstyle for Genesis 8 Males
5. Shaders for various objects
6. Streetscene 01
7. Textures for windows and door, laid overtop of the building on a plane
8. Electrical Substation
9. Umbrella
10. Antique street lamp
11. Soft hat
12. Plant from Tuscan Dinner
13. Bring the rain

Pre-postwork version attached below.

Are there any G8F andG8M textures or products that work well with hoof morphs in the G8 HFS Ultimate Shapes bundle? they morph the whole foot so 2 of the toes form the hoofs, the toenail is only part of the hoof. Alternatively any simple tutorials on alering the UV maps so I could create a hoof zone to use the toenail materials or similar myself?

Or would creating a material zone for the hoofs be better handled by something like a Geoshell & transparency map??

There is Joequick's Fantasy Deer which looks really good, but that seems to take a different approach to the legs from looking at the store page. I also prefer the look of mixing HFS Legs 01 Hoofed & Legs 02 Hoofed for what I have in mind. But if that can be used with them or the legs can be made sturdier it would be basically prefect.

Incidentally is there any project like the HFS Ultimate Shapes in the work for G9? Because they are incredibly versatile.

ED spelling, more thoughts 

ED 2: Looks like a Geoshell is a good place to start, I think it will need a transparency map too, though

The Manifest.dsx and Supplement.dsx are only used by the installers. if installing manually, one doesn't need them.
I have attached instructions for manual installation, maybe that helps in understanding how it works.

In general, the Data folder is for geometry, runtime/textures is for textures and runtime/support is for metadata. Files in these folders need to go where the creator has put them, but I have seen for example freebees where creators have not followed even these rules.

There is one rule that must be followed if one wants to have a product working. If the product is a character or a morph for Daz base figure, the morph files need to be put in the morph folder for that character, which for Genesis 8 Female is "...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\", that is the folder that G8F is looking for morphs when loaded into a scene.

Otherwise "It's up to you" 

If the assets are bought from DAZ store, one uses the installers to install them and 'Smart' Content to load them into the scene, it is better not to move stuff from where the installer put them - They may not follow the general 'rules' in where they are placed and quite often it makes finding them in Content Library a pain in the behind, but one gets the benefit of using the installer to uninstall them easily.

If one is leaning towards old school ways, using manual installation and using Content Library to load stuff into the scene, apart from what is under Data and Runtime folders, everything else can be moved* around and arranged according to ones own logic.

*The exception being products using scripts that load other parts of products, for example Ultra Scenery.

You're a good friend, and I'd like to shake your virtual hand. And thank you, everyone!

The example you used about the morphs was a goodn seeing as how I've been placing one Id purchased just about every place known to my network to no avail. Bought it about a month ago! 

Also love the bill gates quote hahaha.

 

The combination of normals with HD is way too strong. I'd either turn down the HD morph by 50%...or leave it at 100% and turn the normals down. Joan 9 had the same problem. The best look for her (Joan 9) was to keep the normals and lower the HD morph to 50%. 

That being said...I like Kala 8...but Kala 8 is not without her own issues. Her hand texture out of the box is oofta (the normals are the problem). 

I've spent too much today as it is with 70% off build-your-own flash sale so I won't be picking up Kala 9...at least not for a while. Don't really have a use for anything in the bundle, so really only the core character is what I'd get.

As far as the jump in price of base figures, the HD morphs were sold separately in previous generations. This caused quite a large price if you wanted to purchase both. Now the HD morphs are included with the base figure, so I would expect them to be more than the non-HD morph alone.

Yess, I'm eager to use this ^^

Thank you!  I hope you will like it.  It was the most difficult script we have done for Daz Studio. 

I assume eyes and teeth are a no-go for transfer.

No, you can transfer.  It is finicky with extreme eyes but with the material suit, you are able to do it

Excuse me, I meant the morphs for eyes and teeth, not the materials.

Something I've been struggling with; If you have two (or more) figures in the scene that need simulation, how does one do that? I've tried using the script separately on both, but one always ends up with a messed up timeline.

How do you mean messed up timeline?  I would hide the first character, simulate and freeze the results on the second character, hide the second character, and show, simulate and freeze the results on the first character.

It is hard to explain, but basically, instead of the script making the character's morphs default to 0 in the timeline spot 0, it adds the second character's zero morphs in the middle of the simulation.
As you can see, the second figure starts with all the morphs active, then turns to default and THEN the morph change happens.
The second character's dforce helper script is activated at the end of the timeline,too.

All Freebies checked, please move to Entries

I'm once again flashed with the amount of freebies you've collected

Yep, I ve got those. They are really good (a few issues) but for the number of characters I have and matching real world people means they are still limited. 

www.daz3d.com/super-natural-brows-merchant-resource-for-genesis-8-and-3-female was my go to becuase you can morph them and customise to match almost any character. Thats what i'm hoping for again.

This doesnt answer your questions, but from experience, one problem which you may encounter that you may not have thought of is that, with a mid to high ponytail, when the neck bends down/side-to-side, the hairs which are spawned at the lower neck (the ones that travel upwards from the neck towards the ponytail) may dislodge from the tight ponytail.

I'm not sure what the best solution to this problem will be.  I guess you could style the hair to account for this or tweak the rigging of your haircap in the neck area (assuming you are even using a haircap).  You could also make these hairs on a different haircap than the one which is rigged by the neck bones.

See attached for example. This is a SBH i had made showing what happens when head is rotated.

That's it I also noticed... It's not a JCM... so one way to fix it is: Turn on Preview PR Hairs, then use Geometry Editor + Mesh Grabber to 'push it in' ... I tried dFormer but failed. Then I used blender to fix it and imported the morph back, the morph dial didn't work...

I saw the Lexi was released when I first got up this morning and wanted to purchase and play with her, but had to go to work. Picked her up when I got home though! WOOHOO!

Thanks for another great character!

Here she is with the body at 68% and a few other morphs added. I also made her a little more tan and added some more sheen to the skin and used my own makeup. Really like her face morph!!

 

Wow, she looks incredible! Nice work!

Normally there's only one 'data' folder in the downloaded file of such 'morph only characters'. You dump this 'data' folder to the root path of your Daz Library, then reload a G8M or a G8F base figure to the scene, go to Parameters pane, type the character's name or a keyword in the filter field, you may locate the corresponding morph dial(s). If there's a Readme.txt or documentation folder or sth. like that in the downloaded file, also check them in which the author might give some guideline of How-to-use as well。。。

I'm so lost, I wish someone could help me out. 
i have made G9 clone for G8, OK. 
I also have the G8 clone for G9, OK. 
What I want is to have a mesh with the G9 body and the head of G8F. 
This is how I can tranfer the heads (only the heads) of my G8 girls to G9. 
(Is that right or I'm getting crazy?????????) 
I can't figure out how to make a G9 body with G8 head, my brain has stopped working. 
Can anyone help me? 

1. The purpose of making auto-fit clones is not for making morphs, they are for getting clothing to fit.

2. Along a similar track, you would need to make the 'clothing' of the G9 body [base resolution etc] for G8. Then with G8 dialed to the default G9 pose, plus the desired head shape [G9 clothing is still "fit to" G8]; HIDE all except the "clothing" of G9. Export that out as .obj [remember still at base resolution and no groups]. Then have G9 showing and selected, using Morph Loader Pro import in the G9 "clothing" as a morph, name the head morph sensibly and uniquely, "reverse deformations"  and etc. Hopefully this works. If it does, dial the morph to 0 and save it as a morph asset. I don't recall the exact wording but when making this morph, be sure to select the option for a morph shape type.

Elsewhere in the forums I do have a tutorial that covers in more detail how to transfer morphs between the figures. My .pdf tutorials tend to cover all the steps as I work through the projects while making the tutorials.

 

Thank you. I still don't understand (you talk about G9 body, but the clone also changes the head, so if i apply my g8 head morph to this mesh, the morph is not the same because it has the g9 head in it) but i will it a try tomorrow following these steps. Also, I know how to tranfer full body morphs, I have transferred many of my girls to Gen9. My problem is that these transferred morphs also affect the body of G9 (and they give the shape of G8F body) but I just want to be able to mix the heads only. Thank you for yout reply. Will come back tomorrow with my results.

If you have the shape of G9 dialed into G8, apply the desired G8 head shape to G8; hide all except the G9 "clothing" - then import that back via Morph Loader to make the morph in G9. In "reversing deformations" it will not double nor change the G9 effects in the G8 head morph. It will only display the G8 morph.

Like many a project, not everything looks perfectly okay until the end result is achieved ;-)
