Hi,

  I know there is a thread with a similar title, but the question is not the same.

  I have already headshop and Facegen for Daz Studio, but they do not always have good results. I have seen Character Creator has also a similar addon, but before I get my hands on it to try Character creator with it, does anybody have experience of exporting from character creator a character to use as morph in daz, and any pointer no how to do it ? 
   Notice I am not talking about exporting the whole character with textures,etc., rather getting a object with a mesh compatible so that it can be imported in DAZ studio to create a morph for e.g. G8.

  Thanks

This deal is fantastic, but considering the hard drive space, I really have to delete a lot of things from my shopping cart.

Is this really that simple and easy to use? The instructions even mention AI rendering? I really don't want to buy these kinds of add-ons that require complicated methods to use. For me, once there's a problem with this type, it's hard to find a solution. Products like HeadShop and LOD that require help outside of DAZ really deter me.

Can this product be used with G8.1?

I was looking at that first product too, I was always unsure of it because of how heavily it appears to rely on internet/cloud for features and updates, and I think this is the third rebrand now? But the premise is appealing. $2.50 is probably worth a go.

Second product seems to be based on geoshells, have a look at this. Short answer is yes, it should work but there are some steps to learn.

I think I'll skip the complex plugins that require time to learn for now, since there's always another sale.

This time, I'm considering buying https://www.daz3d.com/mesh-grabber-bundle-win. Since my membership is about to expire, maybe I absolutely have to buy this? While I'm at it, I'm also adding some plants from vikike176 to my cart. When I first came here to shop for plants, vikike176's trees were the ones that caught my eye the most, but I never bought them. Now, with enough experience, I can tell that these are definitely the products that best suit my needs. There are many plant products here, but those with a Zen-like design are rare.

In addition, I took advantage of the promotional offers from the day before yesterday and selected five excellent products at great value, as well as two new items with significant discounts. My store credit is almost depleted, and I'm sure there will be even better promotions to come.

Hey there, I recently bought a plugin from the DAZ store called Headshop 2025 Pro to try and reduce the amount of tools I use to make my characters in DAZ studio (mainly Facegen Artist). I'm having a problem getting it to work though, because it keeps saying a DAZ model can not be found even after loading the Genesis 8 figure into a empty scene.

I am trying desprately to get HeadShop 2024 WIN to work 

but it never shows up on either 4.24 that i have installed or my 6 that is installed

i have even tried letting Daz Install Manager install it but that has not helped either.

Moved to Technical Help as it is not a Daz Studio application topic.

You should not use DIM according to the readme https://docs.daz3d.com/public/read_me/index/74000_74999/74039/start

HeadShop is NOT DAZ Install Manager compatible. It comes with its own installer and README.

I just purchased HeadShop 13. I loaded it using DIM but I can't find it.

What do I do?

Thanks.

 my bad, not path to look for the pupil morph to use. 
Where should it be installed? 
I install all items like that to the default location but lucky me at some time in the past daz decided I needed two "my daz libraries" One under user name Bard and the other in Public 
I have no idea how dim chooses which one to use. 
---
Ok, apparently duplicating the libraries into each other has allowed daz to post the morph so I now have matching pupils.
In appreciation of that fact and thankfulness for all help.
I will not rant about the fact that pupil size is in parameters and iris size is in shaping. 
But I'm sure it will irritate me at some future time perhaps when I convert all the other g8s to g9s. 
Now I'll just have to grab premier for a month somewhere. 
The character head was created by headshop from a photo and the skin was done in skinbuilder
and since the prem trans doesn't do surface had to get the geoshell stuff working. 
But overall working very well. The character thinks her nose has changed a little but I assured her it wouldn't show except in extreme closeups. 

I think you may mean the old original faceshop which was updated by its creator to Headshop

Where are headshop 9 and 10   Did they disappear just because they were out of date  Please bring back these Headshop versions because they're better as they support non-Genesis characters something that Headshop 11 and newer versions don't have I wanted to put my younger sister's face on Millennium Baby 3, but I can't because Headshop 9 and 10 aren't available. I need these versions, please

There's Face Transfer 1/2, FaceGen, and Headshop.

Face Transfer 2 claims to use AI, but not quite sure how that works technically.

Most of this seems to be a plug for your plug-in, and I don't see any evidence that 3rd party plug-ins in general crash. Make sure that you are not using undoccumented features that have changed, and that you are validating return values before trying to use them (if adding clothes fixes the crash then it sounds as if you are getting and not catching a null pointer when looking for fitted items)..

Richard, this was in response to user Austin McGuire's tech support request regarding issues when using HeadShop 2025 LT in DS 4.24. We checked and indeed when applying HeadShop morph, the Genesis figure completely disappeared (not a general crash). Mind you, HeadShop 2025 plugin was working on all previous DAZ Studios....Maybe you want to refrase your comment....

The new DAZ Studio 4.24 just released crashes current 3rd party plugins, Fortunately, for HeadShop 2025 plugin we found a 5 second fix we want to share with you. Please watch video below. If any questions, please email to [email protected].

Headshop Pro 2023 is not working for me.

I installed it in the C:\DAZ3D\Applications\64-bit\DAZ 3D folder.

I copied the Libraries, Models and morpher directories into the Headshop plugin directory.

In DAZ 4.23,  I load a Genesis 8 female figure.

I start Headshop.  I select Restore for the Zero Figure.( Have also tried Zero )

I select Genesis 8 and Female. I load a face photo. I hit Apply

I get the dialog box message: Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

If I  hit Continue I get File/Front_Tab_AutoSculpt_Tab etc. dialog box with a big red X on the left.and a Please Wait indicator.

And the Please Wait goes on and on.

So, what’s the secret to getting Headshop PRO 2023 to work?

Any insights will be greatly appreciated,

Hello. I seem to be having an issue with HeadShop Pro 2025. If I use a Genesis 8.5 or Genisis 9 model, I get a texture error. When I do use a Genesis 8, 8.5, or 9 model, I get a "no image detected" error. Has anyone else had this problem, and have you been able to solve it?

Salve, scrivo per la prima vota su questo forum e lo farò in italiano (che è la mia lingua) e in inglese. Ho un problema che non riesco a risolvere. Ho installato, seguendo tutte le indicazioni, il plugin Headshop 2024. Mi appare regolarmente adesso fra i plugin installati e nel menù edit compare come opzione attivabile. Il problema è che quando vado a lanciarlo, dopo aver varicato un pesonaggio genesis 8 o 9, mi appare una finesta di dialogo che mi dice che non trtova faceshop (che è il vecchio software sostituito di fatto da Headshop). da qui none sco più. Premesso che Headshop l'ho acquistato, con un costo comunque non irrilevante, sto cercando di capire come uscirne. Qualcuno ha avuto lo stesso problema e lo ha risolto o può aiutarmi ? grazie

Hello, I am writing for the first time on this forum and I will do it in Italian (which is my language) and English. I have a problem that I can't solve. I installed, following all the directions, the Headshop 2024 plugin. It regularly appears to me now among the installed plugins and in the edit menu it appears as an option that can be activated. The problem is that when I go to launch it, after varifying a genesis 8 or 9 pesonage, a dialog box appears telling me that it does not trtova faceshop (which is the old software effectively replaced by Headshop). from here none sco anymore. Granted that I purchased Headshop, at a not insignificant cost anyway, I am trying to figure out how to get out of it. Has anyone had the same problem and solved it or can help me ? thanks

I've used both Facegen and Headshop to create character morphs from photos and while both tools create decent morphs. the facial textures produced by them look absolutely dreadful (Headshop was unable to create a decent texture example even for the promo shot that loads while the software is starting). Is there a tool, possibly AI-powered, that does a decent job at relighting textures (or maybe the original photos)? To remove unwanted highlights, deep shadpws in the eye sockets and under the chin etc. Preferably free or one that at least allows free trials.

Throwawaytales has had a skype/screen share session and we were able to find a solution in 5 minutes flat. He also forgot to mention, that he installed HeadShop via DAZ Central and IM - neither of which can be used with HeadShop. As the README clearly states, HeadShop has its own installer that, when used, installs on the correct location.

Good afternoon!

How did you solve this problem?

I have the same situation. I would be very grateful for your help

It is always install issue. To solve install please visit the following tut:

Follow steos carefully, don't skip! If still no luck, we can have a skype screen share - works 100% of the time.
