This has a Eyes Puffy Lower morph, but I think it's only a subtle effect, and doesn't do extreme puffiness.  But, who knows what happens if you push it beyond its parameter limits.

"Afternoon Tea"

WendyLuvsCatz said:

actually what is needed is a morph and visibility preset that can be applied to a separate figure turning it into a pair of arms only which can be placed anywhere along the abdomen.

then it could also wear matching clothing that the hierarchical visibility settings can be applied to

The problem with that is generally texture seams, unless there are maps made specially for the connected figure 9and even there, without hiding and grafting the seam line would move as the figures were posed).

If we hadn't seen some reporters in real life risking life and limb to stand in front of inclement weather and try to report from the maelstrom , this Pretty3D promo for News Reporter Outfit would seem extreme. Great way to show off a built in wind morph in the garment.

We'll ignore the spelling and the hurricane reference.

https://prnt.sc/q6JV4XRDEzyF

It should be like this:

https://prnt.sc/DReaUZ9wJMzL

How to do this correctly?

Cheetahka said:

Is there a possibly you could make 4 different shape morph sliders as alternatives to just the included "base Tricera shape" of the figure?

-1 for just the head

-1 for just the body

-1 to adjust the back (make it smoother/flush) when NOT using the tail attachment as there is a piece of flesh that juts out from where the tail attachment should be making it appear seamless when attached.

-1 to adjust the back so you CAN have a seamless transition should you choose to use the attachment on a different model. I like to kit-bash :3

Thank you for all the wonderful products you make!

Your time and consideration on this request is appreciated!

Sincerely,

Cheetahka

The extreme proportions of the character do not allow for seperate head and body morphs. But there is in fact a morph for if you do not care to use the tail called "Raw Tricera Tail-HD" if you dial it to zero the back is smooth.

Other free software used: GIMP v2.10.30 and Irfanview 4.60

Postwork: used the AltaLux Image Enhancement Filter (Effect) by Stefano Tommesani that comes with Irfanview and some filters (oa) that come with GIMP. Also used mcjLut by mcasual (https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts9/mcjlut) with the free RocketStock LUTs (Neon 770.CUBE).

Is there a possibly you could make 4 different shape morph sliders as alternatives to just the included "base Tricera shape" of the figure?

-1 for just the head

-1 for just the body

-1 to adjust the back (make it smoother/flush) when NOT using the tail attachment as there is a piece of flesh that juts out from where the tail attachment should be making it appear seamless when attached.

-1 to adjust the back so you CAN have a seamless transition should you choose to use the attachment on a different model. I like to kit-bash :3

Thank you for all the wonderful products you make!

Your time and consideration on this request is appreciated!

Sincerely,

Hi folks.  I've spent many days trying to figure this out, but am totally stumped.  Funny thing is that I have done this before but just can't remember how.  I've watched YouTube videos, followed their instructions and no luck.  I've set up the Morph Export Rules to include head.CTRL as export and nothing exports.  I've selected Figures, Animations and Morphs as Export options.  I've tried both binary and ASCII formats using different versions of FBX from 2012 to 2014.  I can't seem to get the Bridge to work with C4D R15.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I don't want to have to manually set up morphs in C4D for all the characters I will be using.

Hi. If there's a better place to put these questions, I'm happy to oblige. I'm working on something I think others might like, so I'm considering making it available as a freeibie. But I didn't create this model in the usual way. I'm finally after several years really getting the hang of more of Daz Studio's tools. I really don't want to start from scratch learning Blender or Z-brush. So this was created entirely in Daz from primitives, and it does make use of this one additionally: https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/84312/super-torus-derived-primitives. (So therefore if I'm prevented from distributing it because of EULA stipulations, please do let me know.)

Honestly I never thought I'd get as far as I have; I was just trying to see if I could mock up something for my own renders. It's almost ready for that, but with a bit more work I could also make it easier for others. As you can see in the screenshots, it's still a collection of separate objects. I'd like to know if there's a way to connect them all into one single one. I'm picturing an iterative process: save all the brass parts as one object file, import it into Daz, add whatever morphs I want for fitting various boots, and save it as a Prop Asset. Then figure out the strap parts which I stilll don't know how to affix to the brass so they morph when it does. 

Another question is about poly count. It looks best with at least SubDivision Level 3. That seems like a lot - most models use base resolution and most High Resolution use 2 unless I have that wrong.. But I guess as long as users know what they're getting before they download it, it's fair. It's a small item on its own so the final file size shouldn't be outrageous. But I have no experience at all. Is my assumption correct?

I'd share it untextured but with surfaces pre-assigned. I envision a standalone prop meant to be parented after loading into a scene. It'll be tedious to match a figure's pose, less so to fit it to the right and left boots, but equally possible for any human figure wearing any boot, within reason. (Orcs and aliens are advised to look elsewhere for spurs!) I designed it around the https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-bolero-style-outfit-for-genesis-8-males boot, but it doesn't require that one or even auto-fit it. (I have no idea how to do that.)

But anyone willing to put in the work would find it looks great. As a plus, the brass shape is the US Civil War pattern used throughout the mid- to late-19th century. I can't promise the same about the strap and strap buckle dimensions, but anyone could replace a broken leather strap with one of their own so I'm not worried about that :)
If there are already videos or threads answering some of these, I'd love to know.

Last question: is it even worth it for me to proceed in this way so others might use it? Or am I wasting my time without Blender or something designed to churn out a finished product worthy of the Daz store?

The CPU is something you want to pay attention to, if you built the PC that means you must have applied the thermal paste and cooler on the CPU. That can be a little scary at times, but as long as the hardware monitors show decent temps you did fine. These parts have pretty high tolerances, though it is good to keep them cool as possible.

 [I'm ready to post the 1060 results, except for the Loading Time, the formula of which makes NO SENSE to me. Iteration Rate is OK now that I realize I had to change my minutes to seconds. Please, I need to know what the Loading Time formula is actually asking for!]

I was fine with the thermal paste, etc, measuring the blob to exactly 4mm, because a tutorial said 3mm & I didn't agree. The scary part didn't come until I noticed something wrong with the cooling tower.  I had meticulously put notes on it in pencil to show how it came assembled in its box. Where was the front, how did the fan latch and which way did it face, etc. I installed it and proudly walked away. Then it hit me what I had just seen - No!! But sure enough, yes. It completely loomed over the first PCI slot! I took it apart, cleaned up the paste (which was PERFECT, darn it! Edge to edge, corner to corner, not even drooling over; perfect), and started over. From then on the trust in myself was gone.
But CPU temps have been OK. In a quick check with the 3080 Ti in a partial Benchmark render, the cpu read between 31c to 49c, although it was bouncing up and down weirdly. With the 1060, it was mostly around 50-55c to occasionally just under 60c. Kind of strange difference.
The 3080 Ti's temps during a quick partial Benchmark render was 72c with a few higher peaks, and the hotspot was at 80c, but that was a very quick check. Longer rendering might have built up more heat, maybe. If so, I'll underclock it a bit. I'm just here for the CUDAs;-)
Installing the GPU was another scary part. THREE GPU cables crammed into the PSU/HD space below! I have two 3.5" drives down there stacked near the PSU's module connections. And two loose cables for eventually using a 3rd drive to transfer my gigs of props to the system. It's a cable jungle down there! But it works, so far, it's a miracle...

Thanks. Does Daz have to calculate each morph for each frame? Is that why rendering takes some time? Is there a way to bake those morphs that would reduce the need to calculate it for every frame? 

Sometimes I can render Viewport and it takes a couple seconds a frame. Other times Viewport renders take 20-30 seconds a frame. It'd be great to know why there is such a difference when I'm just rendering a character, no set.

Have the uppgrade of Daz made Face transfer better. I am getting much better skin and eyes now..

So for some reason, Victoria 8's Lips Pucker/Pressed just makes the face look goofy. The same parameter seems to function just fine for V8.1 and V7 models respectively. I don't remember when this started, but I recall not having this issue before. Does anyone else have this issue with Victoria 8/Genesis 8 Female models? Attached is a side-by-side comparison of V7, V8, and V8.1 with the Lips Pucker/Pressed morph at 100%. Is this just one of those "You gotta update the program version and it'll go away" things?
I'm using DAZ version 4.15.0.2 Pro Edition (64-bit).

Korean usually think eye pouches under the eyes are beautiful.
I have searched, but it seems there's not morph for eye pouch, is there?
Can anyone shed some lights? Existing aging morph doesnt cut it to make one.

I use texture shaded view but have never been able to scrub. Have a GTX 980 ti in a older Mac tower, but maybe that's not enough. Or maybe I have too many morphs. So every element that I adjust with a a figure--shape of nose, mouth, eyes--is a morph?

It is uploaded to Renderosity. I expect it will be approved within 24 - 48 hours, sometimes much faster :-)

Promos show the "Flat Face 1 - nose morph" with and without the use of another morph, -100% Lips Pucker Pressed. So yes, it will play nice with some of the other available morphs. I did not test it with everything ;-)  Also works on a child figure [that's a Growing Up preset used in the promo].

n.b. About 90% works well, it can be dialed in a little more - or less - of course.

 

crazy skills Catherine, wow! 

Thank you. Done using Hexagon ;-) 

you could try an obj export in this

https://www.voronator.com/

then fit the results with the transfer utility as they can be bendy/warpy

use the sandal shader
