I'm not familiar with Facegen, but are you sure you had the correct UV set selected, and the correct UVs applied to Genesis in DS?

I have the problem you have when the picture used to make the FaceGen morph is too low a resolution photo. It causes the FaceGen face in DAZ to look too big for the head of the DAZ model.

Dude That did the trick! For some reason Facegen says it is exporting as figure Genesis Male 1, but inside DS it is acutally Michale 4 UV that is the figure it applies to perfectly! Thank you very much Richard. Never would have thought of that!

I see you have that figured out. Facegen can do some weird things when exporting to Daz. The face you get inside the Facegen app likely will be a bit different than what you get in the export. That is because the model inside Facegen is totally different from Daz Studio Genesis figures, and the software has to convert this to a format and model that Daz can use. There has been an update that improves the eyes a bit for Facegen, but I don't know if the demo received that update. At any rate, I recommend going into the parameters menu (the 3 little lines at the top left of the parameter box) Edit>Rigging>Adust figure to shape. This will adjust the bones to the shape of the figure, and especially helps keep the eyes from popping out of the head when you move them.

Yeah, it looks better but as you can see the brow ridges are excession and FaceGen (always) completely ignores the forehead.

You can make some generalized adjustments to the forehead, cranium, back of the jaw, and temple for a better likeness with these products:

Outrider42, where are these 3 little lines at top left of Parameter box? all i see is the 4 lines that open up a menu that give me these options (see pic attached)...

Thanks again!
