  • Transfer textures from a fbx character to a Genesis 8 model

    Hi!  would need to transfer textures from an fbx character, with its own UV layout, to a Genesis 8 character. Is it possible to do that? I read on the internet that Maya has a map transfer feature from one object to another, but I don't know if it's okay in my case

  • Fluffy Duvet

    as i suspected, the morph is moving the vertices to their inital position in the world.

    if they would move to their position relative to other vertices' instead, and be limited by their initial distance to the other vertices...

     

    steps: (two duvets showing before and after sim, just for illustration purposes. i m working only on the fallen one)

    loading the morph:

    (top vertices is a vertex group assigned to the top area of the cushions:

    they're a face group selection. is the group setup correctly? do they need to be a vertex selection set or something, instead?

    the final result sees the area moving, when i morph, to their intial world position:

    is there a way to tell the vertices to only move to their initial position, relative to other vetices and not world locations?

  • Daz Studio Pro BETA - version 4.20.0.17! (*UPDATED*)

    Great thing about this Beta, my Genesis characters load much, much faster, I mean a full 4-5 minutes faster, the bad news is that Daz broke some scripts for my favorite plugins, specifically Zev0's X-Transfer!

  • Morph is succesful-morph slider applied figure blows up

    -the person editing model for me uses blender so i exported g8f as blender-the shoe i sent him i also exported as blender-it came in tiny-the shoe i eported as daz did fit foot correctly

     

    this disformation of the morph applied figure happens around 50% of the time so I'm hoping someone can help figure out why so this stops happening.-it seems to happen in any software-edited 3ds and maya also

    "The Pirouette..."


    Starring: Alysha and Ellie Angelie

    The tale:

    Amsterdam, the 80's. Just when her dance instructor went to get another record, Ellie Angelie managed to make a perfect pirouette. "Yeah that's it baby, hold that, and around and around and around!" Alysha said. Ellie Angelie had practiced for 3 hours straight and the Nina Hagen Band LP had turned completely gray...

    "The old rusty playground merry-go-round..."


    Starring: Ellie Angelie and Walther

    The tale:

    The old rusty playground merry-go-round hadn't turned around for years. At age 5, Ellie Angelie got one of the bars against her head and left a scar on her right eyebrow. Her younger brother Walther, who has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, has to compulsively try at least once a week for the merry-go-round to turn again. "It should go around and around and around!" "Just like your little satellite goes around the globe..." Ellie Angelie replied. "No, no no no no, that's a big misunderstanding, the satellite doesn't fly around the globe, the earth rotates and that's why it seems that way!" Walther said...

    If you are using the Custom Scene Character, you need to make sure the morph is engaged (not 0%) so that the script detects that that is what you want to convert.

    Ahhh, I see!

    Unfortunately, seeing as this is an activated upon character rotation with limbs type of morph, it won't work unless the character itself has their limbs bent... Lol, I did try and bend all the limbs with the character hoping that the morphs would cross over and remain hidden until activated by limb rotation, but they did indeed cross over... All at once, so my character is now a lumpy mess! laugh wink

    Well, at least I know the process works, it's just that the nature of UNBMs will not work with the scene method... But I'm wondering if it will work with the non-scene-character conversion method instead?

    Thanks for answering and the product itself, it does indeed work flawlessly, it's just that UNBM by its nature won't work with the scene method...

    Well this sucks, I specifically got this for the JCM conversion capabilities yet when using Ultimate natural bend morphs for V7 on a V7 character, it did not transfer over to G8... The good news is that it converted it over with all the bones intact, but it still sucks because it did not convert UNBM, a corrective morph that I exclusively rely on for my characters!

    I used the Scene conversion method, BTW...

    Am I missing something here?

    I do hope that I am!

    RE: Using the Character Converter G2 to G8. Nothing about the Custom Converter.

    While converting G2 characters I noticed the results were more miss than hit. After clearing out all the morphs and letting the script recreate the G2 clone I started by converting standard chars. This means not converting chars that were based on another base; e.g. FWSA Effie for Keiko 6 is a derivative of the base char Keiko 6. Belle 6 is a base character.

    After converting some base G2 chars to G8 and getting pretty good results, I started trying to convert derived chars. Effie for Keiko 6 seemed to convert pretty close after several attempts messing with the Tolerance values and having to redo the FHM a few times. Then I proceeded to FWF Sakura for Keiko 6. The converted head looked huge and distorted. So I tried a different derived char; FWSA Grace for V7. Same basic result, head was huge and body was scaled odd.

    I always have the DS log file tailed in powershell and noticed the "Loaded Morph" lines for these derived conversions were pulling from entirely different directories. Instead of the converted morphs directories they were coming from prior conversion locations. This seemed odd behavior.

    I contacted Riversoft and spent a couple days attempting various things to try to identify the source of the problem. After clearing the conversion morphs and clone several times I noticed that when I chose the source .duf file it was located in the [cloud\connect] directory. I was performing a <char_name.duf> search and letting that be the source DUF.

    I started using the standard char location: [<DS root dir>\People\Genesis 2 Female\Characters] (I'll call this the actual G2 char location) as source and further conversions showed the correct morphs were being loaded from the correct converted locations. I initially thought this had to do with the morph directories being based on the [Vendor Name]\[Product Name] since some of the Vendor names contain spaces, commas and hyphens. When using the actual G2 char location as source almost all the problems went away. I could convert derived chars and when loading them the log showed the correct morph directories were used.

    This leads to the question: Does using the [cloud\connect] directory (the 1_<product number>) as the source for DUF files cause something odd to happen so subsequent conversions cause wrong directories to be referenced when loading the converted char? This is the behavior I saw. Subsequent conversions seemed to pull FHM and FBM files from prior converted morph directories, so chars ended up with all kinds of problems. Using the actual G2 char location as source does not exhibit this behavior.

    I'm still trying to figure out how to get certain chars to convert where the eyelids are not ballooned. Sometimes converting using 2020 then converting the head using 2019 (hide eyes) or Legacy gives the best results. Even though each element is converted using a different method, the final converted char seems to match up fine (body to head).

    Has anyone else noticed the log file showing after-conversion/converted-char-loading pulling morphs from a previous converted location when using [cloud\connect] DUF files?

    Just curious to know if this is isolated to my installation, DS 4.16 and/or the directory handling of DS.

    Thanks

  • HELP, Please: Editing Geometry in Hexagon breaks morphs in Poser?

    HELP NEEDED: What am I doing wrong?

    • I want to simplify the geometry of a chainmail bikini top (classic Red Sonja costume).
      • There are these little "bracket" pieces connecting the chainmail disks and I want to remove them. (See the b&w pic with the blue highlights.)
    • I opened the OBJ file in Hexagon and figured out how to select and delete the pieces.
    • I saved the file as an OBJ:
      • I tried both "Save As" and "Export" as OBJ
      • I left the settings to default
      • In both cases, I kept the name of the original Geometry file (don't panic, I lept a back-up of the original).
    • When I open Poser Pro 11, the new Geometry file loads (the brackets are gone), however:
      • The top no longer fits properly.
      • The breasts are too small
      • I cannot morph the top with the properties dials: they no longer work.

    Clearly, I am doing something wrong (probably when I save/export the OBJ file). Or is there something I need to fix in the CR2 file?

    What can I do to fix this?

    Hexagon with the little "brackets" selected.

    What the top looks like with the brackets (rendered in Poser Pro 11 in Comic Book Preview mode).

    Close-up of the pieces I want to delete.

  • How to apply Kids 4 Poses/Clothing to Genesis 8 - Solved

    Here is a link to a thread for a FREE V4 to G8 pose converter. You may also find use in a document called "How to add V4 and M4 to Genesis 8 Auto-Fit" over at DeviantArt by Mekheke on adding your own clones to G8.

    There is a post in these forums that shows the same process.

  • Does 3Dcoat a good software to use with daz3D ?

    galien said:

    The problem I had when I tried 3DCoat is that I couldn't find any way to stop it from changing the topology of models exported from Daz Studio.  This meant that it was useless for creating morphs for Daz Studio.

     

    Be it for morphing or making new uvs at first I thought the same. BUT then I discovered yes we can! Rather than the expected route, under the Textures Tab, export UVs. That produces an .obj file which can be used for making morphs via Morph Loader in D/S, or for bringing in a new uvset in D/S under the Edit, load new uv set options.

    I am using a slightly older edition of 3DCoat so the interface may be a bit different from their latest edition however the concept is likely the same.

    n.b. Figure at Base resolution, "0" subdivisions, NO eyelashes [G8 figures] or any other grafts, I also apply a basic 3D shader, no images before exporting figures, and use the collapse uvs option on export, and NO groups ;-)

  • Alternative ways of skinning the "clothes/breast" cat?

    ...I have the same issues as a number of my characters are small breasted and younger versions of them are flat. I end up having to use simple one colour shaders on tops with no pattern because of the distortion (next to lettering, stripes tend to be the worst).  Also with some clothing any distortion of the underlying mesh (particularly when trying to get a flat chest) can show through in the clothing fit. .Even the Growing Up morphs dont often help woth distortion in the chest area.

    Really wish someone would do a full flat chest morph, not just a "Breast Small" or "Breast Gone" one, as the pectorals and upper chest don't end up quite right (had one for Gen4 that worked great).

    Like the OP I have all sorts of breast and clothing adjustment utilities but none seem to solve the issue.  I miss the old "Spandex" settings from Gen 3 as well, the Decrackifier (for butts) works sort of like that.

  • Will calvin-for-v4 allow me to put female v4 clothes onto a male shaped figure (M4)?

    It's a male character for V4, so yes you would use V4 clothes with him.

    How well those would work with the male morph depends on the clothes. The product includes a set of magnets to help with fitting.

    It won't enable you to convert clothes from V4 to M4 though.

    I'm sorry, but what is the current topic? It seems to have gone from the Body Morph resource Kit 4 for Genesis to Kids 4.

    Current topic is the Body morphs ressource kit 4, which apparently doesn't appear in the list of Genesis morphs in Parameters tab. They seem to be correctly installed, in a content directory DS knows, so I'm a bit out of ideas...

    I got mixed up at some point and thought it was a V4 morph pack, not a Genesis one, so there are a few off topic posts in the middle...

    "You put... CLOTHES?! On your FEMALES?!!!"

    I love the Ferengi... they are like the Speedy Gonzalez of Star Trek. (A horrible stereotype that is such a ridiculous caricature, you just have to embrace it.)

    ...

    Morph distortion happens regardless of tits. You slap a conformer on, and it'll warp since you're not using the morph that the PA did when he or she designed the clothing. Tits do amplify the distortion, but it's always there.

    Once you autofit, that distortion seems to get worse, yes... but that's the same if you go from G3M to G8M. It's not necessarily the tits. You're not really going to avoid that unless the clothes already account for it.

    Distorted buttons and nametags and whatnot... that's IMO a clothing design issue. Especially these days, where more PAs know how to do hard follow nodes for buttons, buckles, swangy chains and necklesses, etc. For Hard Armor, sometimes I even parent it or I lock rotations. (A good combination of that would be Jerry Jang's Aquarius armor, as an example. Some really cool follower bits, I thought.)

    Even when it is designed for G8F (or whatever you're using). You put big tits on the girl (yes, I am talking about birds), and the fabric pattern stretches.

    Don't want your conforming belt buckle or cop's badge to stretch?

    I'd point to an video from Mada.

    I get what you are saying, I am using this an worst extreme test example. I have used this shirt before and removed all the buttons and tags and replaced them as you said with rigid follow ones. I picked this shirt because I knew just how difficult it was actually going to be to fix.

  • New release PoseRecorder needs better product description!

    I just bought this thinking that I could use it for my videos and short gifs. My initial thoughts are that this product needs a lot of work before it was released, but here we are. In any case,I did initally use my webcam, cause I didn't feel like having to transfer it from google drive each time I wanted to use it. Big mistake, they animations came out terribly. All the facial expressions are so exaggerated and there's so much head movement. I thought that maybe I needed to try it on my phone and get some good lighting in there. So I opened up my blinds and then tried it on my LG Stylo 6. And the results were only slightly better. The eye movement was actually spot on, it looks really good in the eyes. But everything else looks awful still. It's still exaggerating all my mouth movements and cheek movements, doesn't look a whole lot like the promotional videos. I decided to do some test and this is what I came up with thus far -  

    1. Do no use the webam, it just won't work. Not sure why, but t just won't. 

    2. Upper face movements are great. The eyebrows and eyes are the best. The cheeks and the nose could use a little work. 

    3. Doing it too far away does make the mouth movements worse. 

    4. I tried ddoing on much closer up, and now it just crashes.

    I agree with most of the comments here that there should be an official thread on this. I'll open up a support thread on this in the technical forum and give the creator a quick message, see if that gets me anywhere. If I can't get this figured out in a couple days (by couple I mean like a week or 2) then I'll ask for a refund at that point. It's a great idea, just could have been executed better.
