Description
Hello everyone,this is my second DA premium content item. The Genesis3 to Gen8 morph converter 1.1.
EDIT: The converter has been updated to version 1.1. Pleas read below for change history
Purpose of the morphing tool:
The morphing tool can convert morphs made for Genesis3 female into fully working morphs for Genesis8 female.
What is included:
The morphing application itself. It has been created with Visual Studio 2010, so you will net .NET Framework 4 to run it. You will need Windows 7 or higher to run it. It will work for 32bit and 64bit windows versions.
It is easy to use and has been thoroughly tested.
How to use the morphing tool:
Part1: Morph export using Genesis3 female in Daz Studio
1) Open Daz studio and load Genesis3 female
2) Select Genesis3 and in parameter tab, Zero figure
3) Make sure mesh smoothing ist set to off and resolution level is set to base
4) Dial in the Genesis3 morph(s)s you want to transfer to Genesis8
5) In File menu, select export and use file type "obj"
6) Specify a filename and save the file to the input folder of of the morpher application
7) Export the obj file with the settings you can see when you click the "display obj export settings" button (hit accept)
8) Repeat the steps 2 to 7 for as many morphs as you like
Part2: Morph conversion (that is what this tool is all about)
1) "Convert Genesis 3 female morphs exported from Daz3D" is already selected, so nothing to be done her right now
2) Use the "convert "obj" ..." button below this text to convert the morph(s) to Genesis8
3) You can find the converted Genesis8 files in the "output" folder of the morpher application
Part3: Importing the morph back into Daz Studio and using it on Genesis8 female
1) Open Daz studio and load Genesis8 female
2) Select Genesis8 and in parameter tab, Zero figure
3) Make sure mesh smoothing ist set to off and set the resolution level to base
4) In Edit menu, use: -> Figure -> Morph Loader pro
5) In the Morph loader Window set from: "Daz Studio", Load Morphs for: "Primary Selection (Vertex Only)", use button "display morph loader settings" for a screenshot
6) Use the "Choose Morph Files" Button and select the desired files in the output folder of the morpher tool
7) Hit Accept
8) You can find the morphs under "Morphs/Morph Loader" on your Genesis8 figure
Part4: Adjust the Rigging (this is necessary especially if you character has extreme proportions or size)
1) Select: Tools -> Joint Editor (or press ALT+SHIFT+J)
2) In the 3d view (not in the scene selection!) Right click on the Genesis8 model: Edit --> Adjust Rigging to Shape ...
3) Click "Accept" in the next screen
4) Wait some seconds for the rigging to be adjusted
5) Switch the tool back to universal if you like. Tools -> Universal (or press ALT+SHIFT+U)
Version history
1.1 Improved arm and leg rotation adjustment for small, large or very muscular figures
Added description on how to adjust the rigging
1.0 First public release with support for Genesis3 female (Daz Studio) to Genesis8 female morph conversion
How much does it cost and how can I get it?
The application costs 2000 DA points or 16 USD (paypal). I know that it is more expensive using DA points. I prefer paypal payment, that's why I did it like that.
Option 1: You can either buy it through DA using the premium content link on the right. If you are using this option, you have to rename the application extension from .exe_ to .exe (sorry about that, but da does not allow .exe uploads)
Option 2: You can get it using paypal. Send me a note in DA providing your paypal data and I will send you a request for payment.
For option2, as soon as I receive the payment, I will send you a link to download the application. Please do not send money without contacting me first.
If you also need a conversion from V4 or Genesis2, please have a look here:
You can run any V4 file through the converter to Genesis3 and after that use the Genesis3 file to convert to Genesis8.

When doing this the shoulders are messed up every-time when converting

In base pose or when you move the arms?
If in base pose, I will send you the 1.2beta2. If only when you move the arms, you should adjust rigging to figure. See part 4 of tge description above.
It is easier if you send me a note with a picture or two.

Hi darkhound, thanks for your reply.
Distortion of the shoulders occurs immediately after loading the converted pose.
Adjusting rigging to figure corrects the rigging, but does not restore the shoulder
The image shows G8 with converted G3 Jojo morph before and after adjusting the rigging

Is it possible for me to get the up-dated one as well. This is the same exact problem I've been having as well when converting. Thanks

Sure, thanks. If it still doesn't work as it should, send me a note with the exported gen3 obj file and I will have a look.

I have a problem with eyelashes only after I reload a scene. The eyelashes go back to the original position before the morph.
Like this, imgur.com/jXSED2o
How do I stick it back in place?

darkhound1 In reply to RealReckless [2017-07-19 07:08:52 +0000 UTC]
Save your imported Gen8 morph as a morph asset. Reload a base Gen8 and apply the morph using the saved morph asset. After that the eyelashes should be auto conforming.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I've also noticed that the eyelids are closed, the eyeball is exposed.

Any ideas?

I cannot see a lot in that image. But it should not happen in base pose.
If it happens in another pose, you probably did not adjust rigging to figure. So you can do that, or just move the eyeballs in z direction a bit.

The more I look at your work and the things you release, such as this, the more I think about moving to DAZ and away from Poser.

I think Genesis3 and IRay are probably worth the move to Daz

I was really excited for Poser 11 and SuperFly, but I just keep running into issue after issue. I really like the built-in morph tool, but it has some really weird problems where it freaks out randomly for no reason that I can tell.

I used Poser in conjunction with Octane for a couple of years and when I learned that Daz was making the move over to iRay I decided to make the move as well. I've never looked back at Poser except a couple of weeks ago when I shifted all my Poser content to a custom folder before uninstalling it.
Both Daz and iRay are a learning curve but considering they're both free and Daz have more dedicated content producers than Poser it's certainly worth it.
The only major drawback are the now constant Genesis updates and when I can afford this tool I'll be making the move.. again xD

Thank you! I really appreciate it when other artists share their experiences with the various software packages that are out there. It's so hard to know what to do as a lone artist just muddling your way through all this by yourself.

I have used poser 10 years ago or something. Never got the hang of it.
