Trying to set up genesis 2 female figure to specific measurements.

matthew.slyfield

I have measure metrics and I am trying to set up a figure for a specific set of measurements including band size. The figure measure script allows control of the bust circumference, but there dosen't seem to be a good way to get a specific under bust circumference (band size). Can anyone provide any advice?

The problem is figuring out which morph to use - but if you can, you need to go into the other tab of Figure metrics and tell it to use that morph. Click on the Configuration tab, find the measurement you want to alter, click the Select node button to pick the part with the morph control (usually the figure itself), finally click the property button and select the morph to use.

Ok, but I can't find a morph seems to do the right thing. Can you recommend something?

If you have the Lilith Body Morph Resource set there's LBM_Ribcage, or there are ChestDepth and ChestWidth (but you'd need to create a new master slider to adjust both together), or ChestScale (but that affects the whole upper body), or there's RibCageWidth (not sure which set that comes from, and it is width and not depth that it affects). I'm not seeing any single morph or setting that wold do exactly what you want, surprisingly.

I tried ChestScale, but this affects the height of the chest, not just the circumference.

I'll look into the Lilith Body Morph Resource set.

Are chest depth and chest width part of the Lilith Body Morph Resource set? I don't see them as options anywhere.

The biggest problem I have is that the Bust circumference slider affects both bust circumference and under bust circumference, but the under bust circumference is not affected in a linear manner. You hit a point where further increases in the Bust circumference value actually decreases the under bust circumference. Unfortunately none of the MM morphs; brests gone, breasts size or breasts small can adequately compensate in a way that produces a decent result.

Since you find it surprising that there isn't a morph that does what I want, can you put it to the developers for an enhancement?

I tried the LBM ribcage morph. This increases the spread of the ribcage in the front below the breasts, but it does not affect the overall diameter of the ribcage in an anatomically realistic way.

To achieve an under breast circumference above 30 inches, this produces ridiculous looking triangular protrusions on the sides of the ribcage below the breasts. I still can't find the chest width and chest depth morphs you mentioned.

Sorry, I've no idea which set those are from. If you want to make a feature request, or more a product suggestion, you can either post to the Product Suggestions forum or you can open a support ticket.

Thanks, I was able to find them in the Genesis 2 Female body morph resource kit and Genesis 2 Female Body Morphs.

There wasn't any one morph that quite did what I wanted, but I was able to get close to the measurements I was looking for using several morphs in combination.

I was trying to use this to visualize female characters for a story I am writing. The results once I got the measurements I wanted weren't as pleasing as I had pictured in my head. I will revise my approach to determining female figure body shapes using the DAZ as the basis rather than what I was doing.

Thanks for the help, even though it wasn't what I was ultimately looking for.

I would just make her how you imagine her. If anything, size her just the way you want and take note what size she is with measure metrics to see how close or far off you were. :)

Rarely does anything have to be a specific size in a story. Height, weight, measurements...they can all be generalized. Artists always take some liberties when illustrating characters, so go with what she looks like in your head and you'll probably be happy.
