Googlesearches lead me to many responses like this one: "You'll find the Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs in the shaping tab with a Genesis 8 Female selected. Morphs can be found under Actor >> Full Body >> Real World, Hip >> Real World, Legs >> Real World, etc." But when I check those paths, all I have are 5 morphs that I think are just stock morphs. Nothing else. I don't see any of the morphs listed here: -8-female-body-morphs

I even made sure that the Gen 8 essential starters and the moprhs themselves were re-installed via the install manager. I checked the files on my HD and they are there, but when I check in Studio I don't find them. What super obvious thing am I missing that will make me feel really dumb?


According to the Install Manager they're installed at "C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library". To confirm that I opened the directory and the files are there, I counted them and they match up to the Install Managers list of files.


If they're just sitting in My Daz 3D Library, that's probably the problem: they should be placed where other G8F morphs are. Mine are further filed into data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\DAZ 3D\Body.


Yes, I have two directories listed under the DAZ Sutdio Formats "C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library" and "C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\data" I manually downloaded the files from DAZ, put them in those folders and still nothing.


The second one should stop at "my library", not "data". It's probably not relevant in this case since the morphs are installed in the other directory, but still it could cause problems for content installed in "my library".


G8F was installed via the Smart Content tab, that's would be the "C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library" directory which works just fine. The strange thing is, I have the G8F Head Morphs and the HD Expressions and they're where they're supposed to be and they work just fine.


Was the Connect version still installed when you installed the DIM one? When something is installed both via Connect and via DIM then DS will use the Connect version, so if there was something wrong with the Connect version thenjust installing the DIM version wouldn't have fixed it.


Hi, I've already read some threads but still don't understand fully what I need to, so I will just describe my example case:



I want to use daz3d character in a paid game. Planning to export daz3d character to Blender, make some adjustments to it, then some animation and will export again as fbx for the game engine. I want to use these items:



- Genesis 8 Female ( -8-starter-essentials)

- Tess ( -for-genesis-8-female)

- Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs ( -8-female-body-morphs)



So I need to just buy an "Interactive License" for each of these items and I good to go, right?


more This is a set of 200 morphs for the body and head of the Genesis 8 figures. These are entirely new and sculpted by me, not dependent on any other set. The DieTrying morphs don't copy well to Genesis 8, and I wanted something to replace that. At this time I do not plan a Genesis 3 version.


The aim is not to compete with Daz3d's head and body morphs, but rather to offer some options and functionalities that their morphs do not, and that I thought might be useful to my audience without necessarily being marketable to the larger group. This is somewhat true for the female (admittedly I have far fewer breast morphs than Daz does) but especially true for the male. There are different kinds of weight and muscle morphs, facial features, including African and Asian feature options, and asymmetry options for the face and body. Additional male bulges and two simple female genital morphs are included, in case anyone were to find that offensive. The gens morphs don't "work" because there's not enough geometry in the base figure to sculpt ones that do.


Besides being poseable, using preset morph dials the figure can be manipulated into a variety of different aesthetic and ethnic female forms.[2] The figure comes pre-rigged with standardized features, and earlier versions can be exported to a variety of 3D modeling/animation applications.[3]


Victoria 3, released in 2002 yet again raised the poly count and resculpted the face, leaving out transmapped eyebrows in favor of painting them directly onto the face texture, but was no longer backwards compatible to Victoria 2's rigging, textures or clothing. This generation was the first to have both the male and female figures be modeled from the same base "unimesh," allowing Victoria 3 and Michael 3 to easily share poses, texture maps and even morph targets. This was also the first figure for which neither Victoria nor Michael had genitals modeled on the body mesh; V3 provided a fine enough poly count in the region to make it possible for third party morphers to design their own while Michael 3's genitals were a parented prop (which continued with the next generation). This figure has an even higher density of polygons (74,510 polygons compare to 28,989 polys for V1 and V2 [6]) with improvement in rigging over the previous millennium figures.[citation needed] Victoria 3 was the first of Daz 3D figures to support morph injection poses, which allowed users to apply morphs from the Pose Library rather than manually selecting body parts and loading morph target files. Victoria 3's eyebrows were not transmapped but textures painted onto the face texture.


The fourth and final standalone generation of Victoria was released in late 2006, which included a new body shape and added several technical improvements to the figure.[citation needed] As with V3, V4's proportions and rigging were not designed to be backwards compatible. The mesh for Victoria 4.0 was developed using Luxology's modo.[7] Sporting an almost mannequin-like appearance, Victoria 4's head nevertheless contains enough polys to make photorealistic, real-person likenesses possible.


As Stephanie and Aiko had been characters for Victoria's base figure, Victoria 5 was released near the end of 2011 as a character for Daz Studio's Genesis Female rather than a standalone figure[9] and was not initially compatible with Poser.[10] Victoria 5 is rigged to support V4's texture maps and Daz Studio's cloth fitting allows her to wear Victoria 4's clothing, but due to having a different mesh she cannot use the same morph targets as Victoria 4. During the beta testing phases of Daz Studio 4, there was released information briefly regarding the preparation of Victoria 5 as a part of Genesis. As a Genesis figure, all clothing made for one Genesis-derived character auto-fits all others (a feature of Daz Studio). Finally, the mesh of Victoria 5 was updated and made smoother, with the use of SubD, weight maps and other Daz Studio native optimizations.[citation needed] Software like Poser can now load her using some plugins or Daz Studio .cr2 export, but Daz Studio-specific features will not be supported in Poser.[11]
