How to restore base G3 teeth?

mlominy

Sometimes, after morphing G3 characters, I get deformed teeth. Is there a way to transfer, put or restore base G3 teeth on my new character without altering anything else?

Morphs you made, or settings for morphs from the stores or freebies?

Some morphs, especially some freebies, may somehow unintentionally distort completely different parts of the mesh. I don't know why that happens but it does. I've gotten deformed teeth when applying a fingernail morph, for example.  The only way I knew to isolate the offending morph was to to an Alt-Click on each morp to zero it, see if that made a diffference, and if not, Ctl-Z then try the next one. Tedious but it did turn up the bad morph and I got rid of it.

A common issue with Genesis 3 figures is that the Mouth HD and Navel morph is set on by default - so it maybe was on while creating the morph and getting part of it.

Now you load your figure in default state, dial in the morph and the shape gets doubled.

Have a look into the Parameters pane under Currently Used with Show Hidden Properties on to see what morphs made up the current character shape.

There is an rather "easy" fix for those morphs that deform the theeth or other unwanted parts that involves using the Clear Selected Deltas from Favourits action in the Geometry Editor set to Vertex Selection mode.

Found it last year in this thread: TUTORIAL - Creating a Genesis/G2F/G2M/G3M/G3M Full Body Morph for DAZ Studio Pro 4.6 by RKane_1

Did I say easy fix - a few months later I forgot how to use see here: Clear Selected Deltas from Favourites - can't find this function anymore in the new DS version

PS: I wonder if Save Modified Assets would updated the fixed morph files properly, because I imagine it could be tedious to save over all the fixed morphs from different artists one by one with the defaults Save Morph Asset dialouge where you have to choose artist and product name to be the same like the original to actualy overwrite the file in the library. Maybe make a backup of the files in ...\DAZStudio4_Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 3\Female before trying. I usualy create a ZIP archive of that folder once in a while before editing something on the Properties.
