I picked up HID Donna because not only is she cute for the times I do render women, but she has male textures too, and I wondered how well the little trickster prince up there would look with them. The answer, it turns out, is very cute. I did discover though that despite all the new morphs for expressions G9 has, it doesn't have the ones I wanted to try to emulate a cute smile I saw in a TV series...  Maybe a little more experimenting is in order.

I also picked up the Freya mega-bundle, because with the character, the hairs and the other things I wanted and the stuff that was on offer at the bottom of the page, it worked out cheaper to buy the works than cherry-pick. And honestly, this time I very much had my eye on the skin for Alex, rather than the (very awesome) morph. Alex is A Pain because he's very pale; previously he's been using some of the base G9 SSS maps, but the Freya textures are nice and pale so I'm happy.

I have a sneaking fondness for high-key imagery.

Not so keen on the outfits though; Freya 8 had some fantastic practical outfits, while Freya 9's... well, she's gonna get more than just chilblains in those, honestly. Alex is in the pants from the dForce Warrior Outfit, but how did he get into them??  Snake-hipped so-and-so.  They're very definitely designed to be worn under things.  The ones from the Comfy Style dForce Outfit that came with Minerva that the l'il trickster is wearing are more detailed.

I really shouldn't be such a sucker for hairs...

That means you have a character (Devious Dolls' Vivi) that has an additional moprh associeated with it to improve the look or avoid issues when used with the body miorphs Breasts Cleavage. Since you don't have the body morphs installed (apparently) then the attempt to make the link fails, but that doesn't matter as you don't need to corrective morph. Sometimes it may be an issue, if it is failing to find a property that should be there, and it is certainly useful trouble-shooting information if you are creating your own morphs, but that doesn't apear to be the case here. In general if a message starts Warning it is pointing something out that might be a reflection of an issue (e.g. a naming issue or saving issue if you were creating your own morphs) but isn't an ouright error.

 no I do not do their own morphs, the model itself terribly slow when either basic or finished character, I do not even know where to look for the cause

I don't see any attached picture, but it sounds like you didn't download/install the other file, there is the SWM Control, and the main one is the Duq7 Flexion, that is where all the missing sliders would be. TD

I think DAZ forum seem to have problem posting screenshot this morning, and yes you were right! I missed 1 file, now I have everything intact! and just wow~ what can I say, this is the best bicep morph solution for G8F period.  I can never thank you enough friend :D  Can't wait to see what you can do with G9 

 

 

Looks great! Is that a native G8F in the pic with TD's sliders?

Yup~ that's a native G8F with @terry_duquette's slider, normally would take me huge effort to look like that by converting G8M to G8F

 Looks fantastic! Shortly, I'll post some images of my most recent dabblings into TD's dials, and I'll try to share my settings.

The deformation comes from the fact that the conformed item is trying to accomodate the figure's morph automatically.

If you look at the "currently used" morphs with the shoes selected (after enabling "show hidden morphs" in the tabs properties if it's not already), you should see morphs corresponding to those you used on the figure. You can zero those morphs to go back to the original shape.

Heh, that was it!

I edited the morph in notepad and changed a 1 to a 0 and that solved the problem. I have no idea why FSMC's friend doesn't have the same issue, it's the same files and there shouldn't be anything that I can think of that would modify a morph file to default at 100% but at least I know how to fix this on my own until DAZ has a fix.

That is odd. I had her check again and also check the mouth morph and the mouth morph doesn't really change much when activated. I had her load the character from characters and then look at the active morphs and thuis is what she had

Haha man this makes no sense!

The "Vo Yonina Mouth" morph won't actually show up in the currently used shaping morphs for some reason even thought it's set to 100%, my list looked exactly like your friends did. I had to go into Mouth > Morphs where I find the offender as the only entry there.

After I edited the morph to default to 0% it no longer activates at all unless I manually use the slider, it will also show up in the used morphs list when done manually.

Che formato è? Spesso e volentieri Carrara o Blemder possono aiutarti. E poi trovi bizzeffe di servizi gratuiti di conversione online, basta cercare "3D format conversion" e sei a posto. Essendo un semplice prop non devi preoccuparti di rig o morph.

It's pretty common I find for morphs and correctives to remain active in unrelated characters. Qa doesn't seem to catch them or even look. I stopped reporting it, since it rarely gets corrected. I would put a ticket in and then find the morph and chuck it for now. The rest of the character should be usable.

Can I just delete the morph without any issues?

I took a look at the morphs settings and saw that the default was 100%, is that how simple the issue is? Can I just edit the morph file so that it's set to 0% when not in use?

Looks like there has been some improvements since I last used the Daz to Maya bridge, which I appreciate. I can now move the entire figure in Maya by selecting the root locator (Character1_Ctrl_Reference) and moving that. I also really appreciate the 1-click button to convert all the materials to Arnold materials.

Still can't scale the figure without crazy, unwanted deformations, which is unfortunate. But my Maya scene uses the same units as in Daz and I can scale in Daz first if I don't want a 6' tall person. But then this leads to a mismatch in size of the skeleton and the mesh/skin (see screenshot), though manipulating the joints seems to still manipulate the character as I would want, so even though the skeleton is a different size it's still usable, but not ideal. It would be awesome if scaling could be improved in a future update of the Maya bridge.

Edit: Looks like the Daz 'Height' morph works as expected after the figure is in Maya (recommandation from tunde.famakinwa_5d565f45cc) and the skeleton and mesh match in size, but this is not ideal as the Height morph basically scales the figure vertically and not in any other dimension, which can result in the character looking a bit too wide and stout.

I now use Limbstick quite a lot but there are times when it becomes difficult to adjust anything in the animation once Libstick has been run. I think this is because the keyframes it creates are applied to the whole figure, not just the limbs (hands and/or feet). I just had a scene where I wanted the hand to rest on a couch for the whole animation. After I had rendered the animation I saw there was something wrong (the glutes had a gap to the couch seat) so I went back to the timeline and applied a posing morph to close the gap. However, I found that didn't work for the whole timeline because Limbstick had created keyframes that are applied to the whole figure every couple of frames along the timeline.

Am I missing a trick here? Also, is there a way to reverse (remove) the keyframes created by the Limbstick script?

It is just you, or due to something else you have installed. I asked a friend who has her to check and she has no issues like that

I removed the product via DIM, reinstalled and it still gave me the same issue. I don't know what could cause that one single morph to activate. All I have installed for g9 are the essientials, Vicky9, HID Nao and Vo Yonina.

I don't own Yonina, but something similar happened to me with VO Carin by the same PA.   It was confirmed by Daz CS, but nothing has been updated yet.

Put in a ticket with a screenshot of the paramaters to get the ball rolling.  Or else uninstall and request a refund.  The fix will probably take a while.

That's a great suggestion and I submitted a ticket along with screen shots of the morph being set when loading the g9 dev figure. Maybe since there's so few g9 character morphs they'll actually take care of this, if not I'll ask for a refund but from now on I'll make use to avoid VOOTW as a vendor suggest to others to do the same.

Vo Yonina for G9 mouth morph is always active. It doesn't matter if I use the dev rig or standard g9, the Vo Yonina Mouth morph is set to 100% on every character newly loaded or not, if anyone has this product, could you please confirm that this alway happens and it's not just me? Thanks!
