If i have an attachment which i made from topology of eyelashes of genesis in zbrush,
i want it to be attached to the eye lashes of genesis ,i.e rigged to eye lashes as an attachment to them and move with the eye lashes,
and should follow morphs in other words should function just like genesis eye lashes.please give some ideas, i tried rigging with trasfer utility they move only when the head moves and be stationary when the lashes move.

    Since the lashes aren't a separate body part you can't do this by rigging, though making the lash add-on a fitted item (or even a geo-graft) will allow the add-on to pick up the values of the eye lid morphs - however, you will need to create morphs in the add-on that are named to match the relevant head morphs for that to work (assuming the auto-generated morphs aren't acceptable).

    thank you rearry from the bottom of my heart for your prompt replies,
    if i make a graft it should be a different prop like the genitalia it should not be in the figure itself are there any separate presets i should follow and i dont understand "add-on"or "fitted item" could you explain and give me a proper link with the procedure explained to make them.

    I don't know what you are doing, but I suspect GeoGrafting would not be needed - it would be useful if you had something that needed to stay firmly joined to the base figure, with no risk of gaps opening it during posing or morphing. The add-on is the thing yu are making, by fitted item I meant a figure that can be Fit To Genesis (or whatever the main figure is) rather than a parented prop.

    all i want is some eye-lash attachment which move along with the lashes ,can you please elucidate or send me the link where such a procedure of making an "add-on" is explained.because as i did with trasfer-utility the lashes are moving but attachments are not moving with them ,there are only moving with head movements.

    Ah, the lashes are not set to Auto Follow so you won't get automatic morphs set up. You will need to create a matching morph (deform the shape in ZBrush) for each morph that affects the lashes, or for you own use you could go to Genesis' head, click the gear icon on the morph's slider, select Paarmeter Settings from the menu and put a check next to AutoFollow.
