In The Flesh

To anyone who as already downloaded, please redownload from ShareCG for an update addressing missing files,

 

Thanks!

When I installed this all I saw when I loaded the hair and beanie into an empty scene were a couple of zero-sized points. Has anyone been able to get this to work? The download I used was the one that had been updated with the "Data" folder.

In The Flesh

Sorry for the mess, I've temporarily suspended downloads until I can confirm everything in functioning correctly. I'll hopefully have it updated within 12hrs

 

Again, apologies for the issues. First time sharing products of this type, so it appears I've missed something

frankrblow

Not to worry, Intheflesh, anyone who's created content goes through that. Thank you for putting in all that hard work! 

In The Flesh

Just had a quick look, and thankfully it was an easy fix. I'd copied an older versions folders, but that has now been updated. DelsinBeanieandHairG8M_InTheFlesh_v2.zip is avaliable at the ShareCG link above. If you've previously installed this product, please delete the "\data\InTheFlesh\Delsin Beanie and Hair\Delsin Beanie and Hair" folder for cleanliness. 

Tested on a seperate clean install of Daz 4.10 with only Genesis 8 Starter files, so everything should be functioning now.

 

Thanks for bearing with me through this learning process

Nice. Loaded just fine with version 2, and here applying alternative textures (using the Surfaces pane):

Looks great, thanks for the render!

Very genrerous of you.  Thanks so much.  Also downloaded your face expressions for both G8 F & M!  Are those morphs do those make use of existing dials? 

Thanks again!  :-)

This is quite awesome, thank you for sharing.

It has been reported that there is a bug where using the ExpandAll morph on Delsin Beanie will instantly crash Daz. 

 

I'm working on a v3 update:

 

• Fixed ExpandAll bug
• Added custom ExpandAll morphs to reduce autofit errors
• Improved weighting and base model topology for better auto following of morphs
• Improved hair shape and volume
• General shape improvements to both Beanie and Hair
• Added a Beanie Only morph for use without the hair piece 

 

I will include full uninstall instructions for previous versions to ensure a fresh start. It will be a new upload and this one will be removed. 

 

Everything listed above is already complete and about to undergo thorough testing in a clean virtual machine install. Rough ETA is 24th November. (If anyone is willing to test it as well before I upload, feel free to to send me a message)

I apologize again for the issues people have had. Trying to translate my content into Daz has proven challenging, but I'm committed to increasing the quality of my products with every release.

From beta-testing the hair and beanie for InTheFlesh, and applying extreme morphs to G8M (Crypto HD unmodified and with Pace that has been further morphed with 'Growing Up' morphs):

There was minor distortion around the ears of the Crypto alien, but it's not obvious, especially if you use appropriate camera angles, assuming you actually need to use this hair on the alien, of course!

And here, autofitted to Mei Lin 8 (selecting G8M and Short hair options in autofit pop up):

Thank you so much for sharing this mesh with us. It looks great on my character!

In The Flesh

Main post updated with final version including a bu8nch of tweaks and additions, along with fixing the bugs in previous versions. To anyone who has previously downloaded this, please grab the updated version!

 

Special thanks goes to dragonfly_2004 for beta testing and providing example renders for some extreme morphs. Looks great on Mei Lin 8 too! You're a champ 

 

Next freebie is already under construction but I want my next release to go smoother than this one did, so it will definately be undergoing more rigorous testing before uploading. I've learned a lot working on this project that I will incorporate moving forward.

 

Thanks everyone!
