G3M characters are all loading with youth morphs already applied

5200north

i'm not sure how i screwed up here but , for past day or so, whenever i load a G3M character, he loads with youth morphs applied and the scale is 83%. if i goto the shaping tab and tell it to zero the character it seems to correct it but this driving me crazy...

help!

1. shut-down and re-open DS, then load genesis3male.duf from character preset.

2. select root node of G3M then go to parameters tab>curerntly used.   which parameter are shown?   Usually there is only "Render SubD Level (Minimum)"," Mouth Realism HD","Navel"

3, if you can not find any other morph which may link scale  too, as currently used, next use parameter tab option, "show hidden parameter". DS parameter tab may not auto-reflesh sometimes, then select "general" section once,  and return "currently used" usually reflesh parameters.

4  if you still not find any morph which link and change scale,,,as currently used,,,  select root of genesis again, then "zero figure".(I believe, most of case,, you can not find any other morph by this way.. when problem morphs are already saved as different values)

5. it may change current shape as zero morphed  default ,scaled G3M,  if it not work correclty it should be hidden parameters,, then you need to manually check all values,,

6 . if it return genesis scale and morph as default,,  do same step in parameter tab,  select "general" section once,  and return "currently used"

7.  Now you may be find the problem parameter which link scale and change shape (if it was) as currently used, with zero value.

if you can find it,, check parameter setting, (click smlall gear) of the parameter .then memo the parameter name. (not labell)  it is same as the file.dsf name.

8  serch the file first,,   from your daz library/data/daz 3d/genesis3/Male/Morphs subdirectories.  if you can find path, and you clearly know how to save morph (overwrite)  correctly,  return the morph parameter setting, and chagne the morph "dafulat value", and  value as zero.  (when we save morph, usually the default value only recoreded as morph.dsf I think,, but daz often change way,, then set both "zero", and overwrite morph.dsf  is best,  I feel)

But if you do not know clear, how to overwrite morph file correctly,, you may better just remoeve the morph file from data.. it actually problem morph. (then may not recommended  to use  untill vendor correct it,, without it caused  by you

And if you have fouond some morph as alerady used,  please show me the parameter setting and show links of ERC.

 

because I know,, another  critical case, I can easy reproduce with usuall DAZ sutdio tools, then it may easy break all characters shape when loaded,  

 but most of us never find  it as usuall process. (currently used, or mix with zero figure etc) . because the parameter,  can change shape with zero value.

I may report it to daz, because there should be some bad guys who offer as free morph, just kidding user.

If the problem parameter are once installed,,  zero figure, or restore figure can not  work correcly too. . becaues it can controll other moprh with  value 0.

 daz "zero figure"  not return subcomponet value to zero..  "restore figure"  just restore  each morph value as current default value.(which  can change by character preset, or memorized figure too) 

about both case,, the  problem  parameter  can still  work (change other morph value) with value zero. so that even though find it,, withotu remove it,

save it as zero (default) value have no meaning.. we simply need to remove the morph.  

 

then we can not find the problem parameter the usual way mentioned above..  (they have worked most of case,,)

I recently feel. some (not a few) user often ask same problem in daz forum. (some parameter change shape of all character)

then user already  know, how to correct it.. then try to help .  but those way not work  for the  parameter which I mentioned.

then ,, user who asked,, re-install all morphs then solve problem without clear understand, why it cause problem. I afraid.
