For V3-A3-S3P-The Girl there are the "International Beauties Skin Texture" 1-5. There used to be a bundle with morphs, but that is long gone.

Thanks North

If you have used men-of-the-year can you let me know how to change the face shapes, all I can figure out so fasr is the skin tones-millions of icons-a lot of them give the missing something error and nothing happens-

also how do you get the mouth or any face expressions that come with M3 base to do anything?

thanks

VicS

Maybe I did get different faces, it was hard to tell but if I was getting different face shapes how do I apply a skin to any different face shape in there? Now if th face chages so does skin tone but the skin is all that's noticable

NorthOf45

The face shapes apply like an other to M3 (or David, or Hiro, even The Freak). They do add their own morphs, or use the morphs from the M3 Head Morph pack when being applied, so select M3 head, and Currently Used in the Parameters tab. When applying a morph (they only affect the head), you should see some changes there. (Unfortunately, I see is that the Head Morphs pack is no longer available, along with any bundles they were part of.)

M3 and co. do not have any built-in morphs other than the Expressions. They must be injected before you can use them. Look for them in Poser Formats -> [library] -> Pose -> !M3 All Morphs INJ -> ALl Expressions. Select the head to use them.

VicS

that's not easy to find info, Ill give it a try thanks a lot

 

do you know of any good skin enhancer for v4 or m4?

 the only one I found is https://www.daz3d.com/interjection-surface-injections-for-daz-studio

this is good for v4 but puts red noses on for the males

VicS

Notrhof45, As for-I am trying to figure it all out for the Men of the year

I took screen shot of all the many icons in the set, can you cirlce the ones that will give me just the shape-which the ones that are for just material

I had the head selected and currectly used in parameters like you suggested but it didnt show any new morph (shown in image)

 

I couldnt find Poser Formats -> [library] -> Pose -> !M3 All Morphs INJ -> ALl Expressions

the second image shows what I can find

Im having trouble putting an exprerssion on M3's face-sorry I tried to follow what you said but couldn't figure it out

 

Other question is there a way to put asian eyes onto M3?

thank you for all your help

 

BTW - I did try a International Beauties Skin Texture on M3 it works on the male version and looks pretty good-thanks for the tip!

Which view is that screnshot? Looks like a Product view. It will only show the products for Men of the Year. The Expressions, and anything included with M3, are in the Michael 30 Base product. Keep in mind this is a 20-year-old product, and support is quickly dwindling.

Unfortunately, the shapes require that Michael 3.0 Head Morph pack to work. The files inject the needed morphs to get the shape, and there is no way around that. The shape files are anything starting with a "+_", but it is a moot point as you do not have the head morphs. Sorry. Also prevents you from putting Asian eyes on him, needs those head morphs. The requirements on the older products have mostly been lost since the last store shange, not your fault.

The textures should still work, they are all the A_D3M3, A_Hiro, B_D3M3, B_Hiro, etc., up to L_.

ART is lighting, Style and +Sassy are for Sassy Hair 2.

The Expressions actually come pre-loaded with M3, no need to inject them. The INJ files are there for when computing power was primitive and you could REMove morphs if you didn't need them, or add them back again. Anyway, select the Head, and there should be a Morph group on the Parameters tab with all the available Expressions. The "Poser Formats -> [library] -> Pose -> !M3 All Morphs INJ -> ALl Expressions" should be there if you installed normally to your [library]. (That's an "ALL" not "ALI", I let go of the shift key a hair early).

 

VicS

thank you-that's a lot to take in, I'll check it out better later, haven't been able to get expressions, if I understood I cannot change M3 face shape at all without the morphs correct?

can you maybe recommend a M3 character so at least I can have 2 different faces-

the screen shot was all the of men of the year icons in cointent library

thanks

 

NorthOf45

For expressions, select M3's head in the scene. Go to the Parameters tab. Is there a Morph group visible below head?

No you cannot change M3's head without the Head Morphs pack. Virtually every remaining M3 character uses those morphs. The only independent morph pack still available is Faces of Africa for M3 (also in a bundle with V3)

VicS

OK thank you those may just do the trick and I think this is obvious but just to be sure those will work to change the face share but do not have the ability to put any expression on the face correct?

NorthOf45

Face shapes, yes, but no additional expressions. The expressions should be available as indicated in the previous attachment.

VicS

Oh right ok, yes I have those head morphs, it will put slight expressions on at least so that is good, thanks again
