Genesis 8 Male Glitch

MelMaverick

Greetings all,

I used the "Transfer Utility" tool on one of the models I downloaded from Mixamo.com in an attempt to make it more compatible with Daz. Genesis 8 male was the donor, and now every time I load any g8m-based character none of my morph sliders work. Worse yet, when I reload a scene with g8m in it, the Mixamo model is what shows up (see attached screenshot). I deleted everything I downloaded from Mixamo, deleted all my saved scenes that had g8m in them, I've manually uninstalled and deleted all g8m content (including g8 starter essentials) then reloaded them with DIM, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Daz. Nothing has worked so far, and I'm at my wit's end with this. The effect has spread to all my g8m characters and made them non-functional. If anybody at all has any experience with this or something similar, I'd greatly appreciate your pointing me in the right direction.

From the tiny bars for the options on the Parameters Tab, uncheck show hidden. Morphs that do not appear to be working tend to be hidden morphs that are triggered when a non-hidden morph is used.

@Catherine3678ab,

Thanks for the reply. I did what you suggested, but still ended up with the same result. I've deleted all my g8m morph packages and redownloaded them, so I'm thinking I must have corrupted the files for the base figure somehow.

Reinstalling the base figure then should fix it. {from the Genesis # Starter package}

If it still looks off, then select the main figure and then "currently used" ... notice if any of the morphs dialed in that should not be there. Then one digs through the data folder {with D/S closed} to find them and in those morphs where it has a number, i.e. "1" dialed in, change it to "0" ... these files can be opened in a text editor. If they look like chicken scratch, unzip them "here" with a program such as 7zip {still free} and add ".txt" to the end of it. Edit and then resave it as the official file {the old you can slide out of that folder to the desktop or someplace where D/S can't "see" it.

If none of the above helps then hopefully somebody else knows what went wrong and can assist.

Oh yes, if all is still not well with that figure then, empty the scene, open the log file, select all that info and delete it, save, then load the figure, then copy that log file info into the forum post {or some put them into a .txt file} ... gives folk some more information to go by.

@Catherine3678ab,

Unfortunately, I'm still coming up with the same results. If I still haven't found a solution after doing some more digging on the forums, I'm going to submit a ticket to see if one of the techs can help me. I'm also going to post a log file here as you suggested. Thank you for taking the time to try to assist me with this.

Try uninstall G8M then cut and paste  My DAZ 3D Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male\Morphs some where else outside daz folders. Then install G8M agin and see if that make a diffrence. If it does the problem is with one of the morph files, otherwise it is something else.

@mats76,

A million thanks, my friend - that did the trick. If I'm now understanding what I've read in other posts correctly, the files that are saved in the "Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library" folder are sometimes redundant, and it seems as if those are the ones that tend to become corrupted. I'm hoping that if anyone else runs into a similar situation, they'll find this post quickly and save themselves a lot of frustration. Thank you and Catherine3678ab again for giving your time to address this for me.
