The Poser route is Pose/Daz's Victoria 4/Morph Injections/Morphs++

Is it possible that Daz Studio's route is similar?  Look inside content/runtime/......

I'm not sure if there is another place to find them, but one of the places you should be able to find it is your Products category. If you look under Products >> V >> Victoria 4.2 Morphs ++ -you should be able to see the morphs. That's for Daz Studio, mind you. If you're using Poser I don't know, as I don't have Poser, sadly. 

Hi there.  So the morph++ files are installed.  I know because the power loader brings them up every time I load V4.2.  However, when I look in poses, all I see is a bunch of useless animations.  Anyway to have the morphs++ show up?  Or are they somewhere else?  I have by context check so I figure it would only show the content for v4.  Is this just a case that things went to the wrong directory and the files have to be moved??  Any info appreciated, thanks.

P.S.  I just checked Michael 4.2 and he is completely fine.  You can easily see his poses, by function and by region, shaping shows his facial expressions and utilities has the useless animations.

Veronica 4.2 on the other hand, in the poses tabs by function and by region has useless animations, with no pictures. Utilities shows no facial expressions. 

Okay, here you have it. I did find a render I did of Chateau Blanche, and added Chiyo as a child. So my Top 10 For 2016:

NOTE: The links are NOT WORKING RIGHT. The Barn is going to the Fern Lake and Mace is going to the product page. I've refreshed the cache, etc. Will you folks test those two and see if you are going to my renders? There's nothing else I can do, the links are correct.

#1.  Modern Barn Environment
#2.  Fern Lake Bundle
#3   Chateau Blanche  (Same link as Fern Lake Bundle, found a render)
#4.  Nomad (Gen3M/F's) 
#5.  Alsace
#6.  Lani Hair
#7   Mace for Genesis 3
#8   Oriental Breeze Pool 
#9  Chiyo for Victoria 7  (also shown as a child)
#10  PRO-Studio HDR Lighting System ( same as Chiyo link)

Okay, the last two, and my top pick female may surprise people. This gal renders beautifully, and the child version was a thread favorite of a few folks (including me.) If I get a chance, I'll re-render her as a 5 year old, using these lights and add that here. I did reduce bump, increase glossiness overall, added a smidge of metallic, to get this skin, but otherwise is out of the box and lovely.

She is rendered with my top pick for lighting. So wrapping up with my #9 and #10 (but again, no particular order for my list) is my top pick gal and top pick for lighting:

#9  Chiyo for Victoria 7
#10  PRO-Studio HDR Lighting System

That's weird that the Michael 6 starter bundle is free, the Victoria 7 starter bundle is too, but only base Michael 7 is in the free promotion. I wonder if it has something to do with the age of the product. Eva 7 and Bethany 7 starter bundles were also in these last two free starter bundle promotions. I'm guessing those were the first ones to come out? Seems like M7 had just come out late last fall when I discovered DAZ.

Highly unlikely as many newer bundles have been offered at times as has M7. For him to be the one odd one out like that they probably just added the wrong product by mistake.

So i have been using Victoria 4 and Micheal 4 along with Aiko 4 for years now, and I would like to try my hand in not being left in the stone age with those figures being 10 years old now.

I only know of the V4,M4,A4,D3,S4 figures being the base and then tex maps/morphs from there

I browsed the shop and am completely baffled now, I think i understand the concept of Genesis 3 being the base model, can someone explain like a heirachy tree from that base figure cause i am really am confused on it. I can browse a item and it tells me i need v7, but I thought g3 model was the base figure not v7?

Can someone steer me in the right direction, don't want to buy stuff and find out i need this to make the stuff i bought work

Thanks in advance

Hi all.  I used to do lot of 3D utilizing Poser and Lightwave. I decided to take it up again recently, and am using Daz Studio 4.9.

So it's been awhile.  What's all this Iray stuff about?  I have Genesis 3 and Victoria 7, but what if I see something I like that is for Genesis 2?  Is that hard to adapt?

I will have more questions, but those are for starters....

Hi there, everytime I load V4.2 I get the two following messages.  It's as though v4.2 is not really loaded in the system.  Anything I can do to make sure that I don't get these messages??  Any info appreciated, thanks.

I found the best character EVER! I'm simply THRILLED with Gwennili! I've not stopped rendering her since I got her! hehe I really love this character - she has INCREDIBLE detail (particularly in the feet and hands) and I'm more happy with this character than any character I've bought before. 

I hope you guys don't mind me posting a lot of images of her for a while. She's STUNNING, IMO, and I really enjoy rendering her! :D

By pure white, I meant that the scleras need some more detail - i.e. veins, with a little bump and/or normal on the scleras for the veins as well. Also (you may be doing this already) dialing in the cornea bulge and iris depth/correction morphs help. A tip I got from the skin shader thread in the technical forum was to go beyond the limits on the corena bulge. Some go up to 2.20 (or 220%) on that morph, I feel like 1.2 to 1.6 (120 to 160%) works and lets you close the eyelids if you want without the corneas sticking through.  

Great portrait! Excellent character shaping, shader work and a lovely, subtle expression. The only critique (and it's a minor one that I'm always struggling with myself) is that the eye shaders look a little too glassy and the scleras are a little too pure white. Super work.

Another portrait using Genesis 3 UVs on my Genesis 2 muse :)

No postwork in this one.

Thanks for your comment and feedback! I will look into her eyes. I always thought that Victoria 7 scleras were too dark, so now that I am using a new shader I may be overdoing it.

Thanks, Karibou. I agree with barbult - your Dr Suess tribute was might good!
Gopherus #5 Hilarious render and great poses, and wonderful story!
Totte#8 Wow, too cool!  I think Karibous is right that it is an observer - strange he isn't getting arrested. 
Saphirewild Tag #2 Wow, that is a looney tunes holiday! Hope no one gets hurt. 
Karibou #2 Haha, I love it! Great use of your pull!

Yes, I know the requirements for all of her is expensive. I'm not up to making bone linked morph dials yet, That is the biggest reason I'm using the morph sets, they work.

I think at least some of the figure morph will work even if you do not have all of the morph sets listed below.

http://www.daz3d.com/growing-up-for-genesis-3-female-s

(Zdg G3F Morph extension set, Posted above. Yes the Head and body dial is in that zip)

I think most have two of the dial sets listed, possibly.

Oh, and I forgot the CC0 (Free) G3F Groin Morphs at ShareCG or DA.

Skin and eye Mats/maps used in my examples are from FWSA Paloma, that is another thing that is far beyond my abilities (skills and funds) to make. In any case, I think I'm going to take five before looking at the ears, oh I dread that.

I keep looking at that nose and wanting to make the lower part a bit wider (Nose Wing Size), yet that had other side effects. Perhaps I'll make a second, or third head dial with that and other minor adjustments. I've been fussing around with the dials I made rather then ears (There is just to many complications with the ears).

Things are progressing nicely, even tho I'm not sure about a lot of minor details. I may need to make some more dials for the nose. Also I keep looking at the arms and thinking I need to add more strength to them, I'm just not sure I want to add 'flab' or adding 'Ripped' painted on 12-packs, lol.

There has got to be a more elegant solution, lol.

(EDIT) looks like a dial called "Arm Size" from shape shift dose not mess with arm length, so that combined with a modest amount of "Arms Muscular" looks to do ok.

this seems like the more pertinent thread on the whole forums to me, and yet it remains empty.   jospeh06, your question is 'my thoughts exactly'.  Alyson by Sabby is a good example to hightlight because of its precious skin render.   I've chatted a bit with Sabby, and she says it's not possible to do this kind of skin render in DS4.  and I've studied the Anagenessis product, and frankly I think the 'Before's' look better than all the 'After's' in the promo section.  Apparently this subsurface skin thing (SSS) is uniquely solved by Poser.   A close study of Sabby and Godin vendor stores on Renderosity reveal that although they may offer a few of their better models for Daz4.9, the better promo's, the ones with the incredible skin renders, are rendered in Poser, and the DS mats included for the skin doesn't do the same thing.   Godin seems to recommend DS rendering with Advanced DAZ Studio Light Bundle to help bring better skin realism and rendering. 

I'm also trying to contact an artist by the name of BlackDog1966, seen in the DAZ galleries.   The rendering in such works as Eyes So Blue, The Lonely Hall and Hair of Flame Eyes of Ice involves a cross lighting technique that can be done in DS, but I have not ascertained if the Advanced Light Bundle was used or not.  For one of these, check out [ http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/images/136061 ]   In any case, it looks BlackDog accomplished the subtle SSS texturing in those renders before applying the lighting technique, and he doesn't reveal as to whether or not he first used Poser for skin rendering and then imported the image into DAZ....    assuming that's even possible.   

and also these DS products need to be explored to possibly help accomplish in DS what Sabby has done with Alyson in Poser:

I've yet to try them.        Hoping now someone with some real experience and expertise, like BlackDog1966, will see this thread and come to our rescue with more detailed advice and technique.    

many thxs in advance, BillySheers

One more for tonight, will play more this weekend. Here's "Adventure Pinky". Just a test render. Lighting needs tweaking. Stopped around 80% rendered, so it's a little grainy. She's got the Adventure Girl outfit on, plus a LIE lace face mask and lipstick (had to turn off the eyebrows, they poke through the mask.) The eyes are Paris' Macro Eyes. I increased the iris size by 10%. She's in a Mei Lin fight pose and has a Victoria 7 Attitude expression. Because why not mix it up? 

Love it!

Just noticed this thread and want to add my 2 cents:

When using DAZ content in 3D game you MUST be extremely cautious about licensing, because available gamedev licenses don't cover everything, only selected content from DAZ itself (marked DAZ Original) and some PAs. So you have to double check that all you're using is really covered. For example it's extremely easy to dial some morph or facial expression (as they all are integrated together) which is not DAZ Original.

I can notice that right in the video above - they used the SKAMotion's walk animation from http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-female-s-victoria-7-high-heel-walk-aniblock, which is NOT even possible to license for game usage. (But it's OK to make youtube video with it :) )

I have indie gamedev license myself and finally came to solution of having distinct runtime only with DAZ Originals in it.

Didn't know which way to go with this one... was thinking of a space battle and thought of something more historical.. and using Varsel's great bits of clothing for Lorenzo ( some modified & retwxtured ) I decided to go historical using the Eureka Stockade for inspiration.. and if time maybe a space battle 

The Eureka Rebellion was a rebellion in 1854, instigated by gold miners in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, who revolted against the colonial authority of the United Kingdom. The Battle of the Eureka Stockade, by which the rebellion is popularly known, was fought between miners and the Colonial forces of Australia on 3 December 1854 at Eureka Lead and named for the stockade structure erected by miners during the conflict. The rebellion lasted for less than half an hour and resulted in the deaths of at least 27 people, the majority of whom were rebels.
