Reset morphs?

Is there a way to reset morphs for only a partial figure - for instance just face morphs?

Thanks :o)

    there is a couple of ways ,

    1 click the character head. then take these set to reset the character back to orginal

    2 on top of daz studio go to edit  then scroll down to Figure , scroll down to either "restore" or "Zero" click and scroll to reset or zero character shape that should clear the morph from the character to base shape.  then just reply your new morph once you cleared the old one out . I hope that helps

    If you are wanting to restore or zero only certain morphs on the figure node, no. It would, however, be possible to write a script that allowed the user to select a group and restore/zero only the properties in that group - but that of course depends on the head morphs all being a group separate from the others, which isn't always the case. It would probably be possible, in principle, to write a script that would check to see which vertices were affected by any given morph and zero/restore it only if it affected the ehad or only if it didn't affect other ares, but I suspect performance would be abysmal and I'm not sure how it would handle HD morphs.

    Okay I went and checked that what I describe above was right and yes it indeed it resets the morphs .

    It clears the figure morph shape by those steps i described above.  select just the head and highlighting the head bones in the scene tab and then clear the shape will just restore the head back to the default character shape that is why I said you would need to reapply the morphs once you cleared them because it pretty much clears it back to default .. here a screen shot .

    But a lot of head-shaping morphs aren't on the head bone, so depending on what is wanted that answer may not help.

    Ok, if I understand you both correctly, I cannot restore selectively. Will have to redo the morphs for body parts that are ok, hmm.

    Thanks a lot, much appreciated - will take your tips with me, and work some more.

    Kind regards,

    Mike

    It would be far easier to go into Currently Used and just reduce or remove the morphs you want gone, i.e. for the face, than to zero the figure and add back the morphs you want to keep.

    The second thing to try I forgot to menetion was choose a character  that has a reset morph in its library  and just reset the head morph using the character  head remove reset preset , see screen shot  you can choose to just reset the head  that way as well. but those character reset prests will just return the head morph to the default character base morph , most characters bought in the daz store has morph remove preset for them

    Those should remove only the properties set by the character, not others.
