The title has been fixed. Still, the content of that offer still makes no sense at all.

Lots of great informations about animation workflow  in this thread especially explanation from @benniewoodell and our mighty @wolf359 .

I think I`m lucky enough ever getting " the old school max 5 animation training "  in college . In those years we didnt had acces to robust animation tools like we have right now , so there is no way to learn animation without doing manual ways .

Except NLA animation stuff , there is no big differences between what MAX 5 dope sheet and curve editor offer with what we`ve seen in recent animation softwares 

But TBH , unless there is specific request,  this day I will go using any motion data transfer if possible ( although Basic knowledge still needed to make simple or extreme adjustments)  Having special rigs to suit our animation styles or what we want to achieve much preferable . Thanks god , right now there are so many cheap services to built or modifying custom rig for you , especially if you`re using Blender .

All daz product still useful for presentation purpose .  I believe Its hard for Client to say no if we`re showing them  couple of DAZ items and  still renders as rough idea how the animation projects - Short animation ads will be look in final stage

this may be the most straightforward method to transfer shapes (from jcade) that transfers all morphs at once in just 5 steps. but it comes with the limitations of the transfer tool as mentioned (no jcms, jagged eyelids, wrong teeth/eye placement, etc). if @jag11 or a PA can fix these issues that'd be awesome.

1. load g8/g9 dev mode

2. dial in hidden morph "Genesis 8 (fe)male" on g9

3. move in g8's thighs 6 -6 to match g9

4. transfer tool with these options

or instead of "all", choose your favorites

5. adjust rigging to shape and ERC freeze for each morph

Yes but found that the script that's provided did a better job for what I was trying to accomplish.

n.b. be very certain that the morph name you gave it, is not the same as 'any' morph named in G9 as well as previous morphs for the eyes.

I confirm that Neko HD causes an instant crash when trying to Iray Preview or Render.

- I resaved all jpg textures. Resaved all Tiff : crash.

- I converted Tiff to png and replaced all corresponding textures on the model : crash.

- I used the slider to dial the full morph rather than load the character, to avoid using the geograft eyes just in case. But as soon as I applied textures : crash.

As it's not a material issue, it's probably more a shader issue.

I won't test further because it's 4:30AM and there are too many things to test with constant crashing before I can pinpoint the problem. But there is definitely something wrong with this model.

It is unusable as it was sold.

Submit a ticket about that    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So far the crashing hasn't been consistent so its hard to get a fix for it out but its being investigated. There's 2 things to try try if you get crashes.

The first thing is to tick content type and then choose a type from the dropdown using transfer utility with a template and see if that works for you.

The 2nd way is load an actual template in utilities, then use replace source with target with the transfer utility. Before you save it go to scene identifcation and rename the node name to your obj name - it would have changed to the template node name.

The first way you mention, that is what I normally do. For this vest I chose wardrobe/shirt.
For my attempt with the template in T.U., I was using the full bodysuit, tight. {because there isn't a shirt one to choose}

The 2nd method I'll put on my list of things to try.

for those looking for a g8/g9 pose converter someone on this site suggested this

https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/93219/g8fm-pose-transfer-to-g9

havent tried it yet but i thought id put it up for people to at least check out

I had continual crashes of the Transfer Utility with a template when I had Marvelous Designer still open. After I closed it, the crashing stopped. I don't know if MD had some file locked or was just using resources or what. If you have it open, try closing it, and see if that helps.

Is there, will there, or can you please add a way to Genesis 8 or 8.1 shapes on genesis 9? I think that's a feature EVERYONE (with genesis 8 or 8.1) can use (myself) as I don't anyone in our shoes wants to ditch our ENTIRE genesis 8/8.1 shapes/morphs library and start completely from scratch with a completely new library. Talk about a blow to the wallet! Umph! Backwards compatibly with 8/8.1 figures morphs and shapes is a MUST-or at least a script to convert 8/8.1 shapes to 9 like the ones for 3 to 8 that I bought a while ago! Any thoughts? I (and no one else ON EARTH) wants to throw away and ENTIRE library and start all over! That's madness. PLEASE ADD BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY FOR 8/8.1 SHAPES ON 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's LUDICROUS not to!!! Geez guys! ESPECIALLY when there's SO MUCH 8/8.1 stuff out there and bound to be more! If anything you'd get more people buy 9 shapes and stuff to combine with our 8/8.1 collections!

I'm writing a script to transfer G8 morphs directly to G9, it's still in the early stages of development and still needs more testing.

The resulting G9 figure(below) has some glitches(chest/shoulders) due to high vertex density interpolation, but the results are promising.

let me know where i can get it when its finished please. pm me a link :)

@Muscleman
Si ho visto i joint per torcere braccia e gambe... sono completamente diversi (twist arm/leg) e non sono più a metà dell'arto.

Per quanto riguarda la conversione esiste già un tool ed è gratis: https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/93219/g8f-pose-transfer-to-g9

Però se devo usarlo devo caricare anche un G8, posarlo e poi trasferire la posa... se PowerPose funzionava era meglio e più rapido (anche perchè i G9 sono più bassi e tozzi dei G8 e dunque ci saranno imprecisioni nella conversione)  

A tutti gli altri, controllate la mail... c'è la possibilità di avere 5 $ nello store rispondendo ad un sondaggio a cui si accede tramite link della mail (come un po' di mesi fa..). Il credito verrà dato dopo il 7 Novembre

Yes - the transfer utility with G9 selected and the template that is the closest to your outfit shape will give the best results. The other way works too - just less steps with the transfer utility - I'm all for quick and easy. The morphs in the templates are already cleaned up for clothing so need minimal fixing (hopefully) :)

Wonderful, thank you :-)

If by inject you mean using the transfer utility to create a conforming item with the morphs included then yes :)

Just started using brightness manager, love it. On my first run, completly whited out the morph's eyes. Anyone know how to correct this. Tryed replacing, however eyes whites or conjunctiva stays washed out.     thanks

Hi, all. I know it's bad manners to bump, but I'm still completely stuck on this and I don't know what to do.

I have a freebie morph set that I want to release for a certain skirt, and it depends on this script being able to come together. The skirt comes in eight different lengths, all of them different assets. I can't redo the work I did on all eight of them, particularly because the morph changes the length of each facet so they don't match up anymore anyways, but I can instruct users to load the longest skirt and then run a script to cut it to their desired length. Because this is supposed to accompany a morph set, I can't recreate all of the facets, because then the morphs will be lost.

The only thing I was able to discover is that there is an alternate copyFrom method that is documented in the scripting center, and it can be used instead of the SDK-only makeCopy. It seems to do pretty much the same thing. You can cut the skirt, delete it and reload the original. But if you cut the skirt, save to a scene, and reload the scene, there's no DzShape and each bone has a bounding box-sized gray box. Just like where I was before. Latest script is attached once more. As you can see, I'm officially in "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" territory. I'm completely out of ideas.

Again, all of the steps I'm trying to do work just fine if I do them manually via the GUI. The skirt is cut, you can delete it and reload it, you can save it to a scene and load that, and morphs are preserved. So should I be scripting the GUI somehow???

Is there a point where I should just make a ticket? Is that something I can do for this sort of thing? If I can't fix this, then I just can't release this freebie.

I am also having issues with CB Arceli  the hand deforms badly when making a fist

Did you put in a ticket in addition to reporting here?

I logged a CS ticket last Friday. No reply at all. Today I had an update in DIM. Installed it. Fingers still deforming.

Was just made aware that this was an issue, unfortunately for some reason ERC freeze did not stick to the body morph, which ment the bones did not move with the morph causing the distortion. This has been fixed and should be with you as soon as Daz can get it to you. HUGE appologies. Should you ever have any issues with any of my product PLEASE drop me a message so i can get on it straight away.  CBx
