Genesis 3 Male from Genesis Generation X2 Problem?!

Optimus Shepard

Hello,

 I recently transfer morphs from Genesis 2 Apeworld to Genesis 3 Male. But when I tried using some poses the arms, legs and mouth began to mess up. I don't know what or why is this happening. Can someone please help me with this issue? Thank you

I'm going to keep following this thread. I just had one where I wrote about my journey to get a V4 morph to Gen8 and all was well, UNTIL i tried to move it

Because you need to adjust rigging. The easiest way to do this is with the Shape Rigging product, which handles a bunch of stuff you could do, but more slowly, by hand.

When you change the shape of a figure dramatically, the rigging is going to be distorted because it's based around the standard figure. Morph products have a bunch of adjustments to make things bend and move smoothly; when you transffer the shape, you lose all those adjustments.

Note that even after you do adjust rigging (and save it to your new morph), you are still going to encounter problems because there are JCMs that aren't there.

That is, Daz Studio weight mapping tries to bend limbs and so on and shift the mesh to compensate, but a very different mesh is going to often have bends that look terrible. PAs create special morphs that dial in when certain bends happen, to help create a more fluid pleasing change.

For example, the neck area often turns to garbage when changed a lot. For my Otter... oh my. Bending the neck sideways made it fold like canvas. So I had to fold it, create a better looking shape, then add that as a JCM, rinse, repeat.

 

Shape transfers are great, but users need to understand how much work goes into making a shape work properly.

Alright!!! Thank you so very much Oso3D. I did what you told me to do with the rigging. I used the Shape Rigger Plus from Zevo and it worked!! Now all the poses work perfectly! Oh thank you thank you again I really appreciate your help. Have a great day.
