how to zero figure while still keeping all morph dial settings

I have reshaped the face with morph sliders but need sometimes put genesis back to zero in order to put on items from M4 or anything that wont conform good unless genesis starts out in zero pose,

anything I've tried so far to zero genesis also takes out the face morph sliders

thanks for the help

Have you tried saving your morphed character as a preset, loading that preset and zero out the morphs form there?

Your request is not clear, but if you want to zero the pose while leaving the shape alone Edit>Figure>Zero>Zero Figure Pose.

However, if by "Face Morph" you mean expressions, those are poses.

face morphs I put on with sliders, not expressions, I tried all options in zero parameters they idnt work I can try again though

thanks

If the expressions are made with custom morphs, there is no fundamental difference between a morph to create an expression that, say, makes a char smile as you have in expression packs, and a morph that shapes her nose to make it longer as you have in shape/figure packs, and DS has no way to make a difference between them. Generally expression packs have a way to reset all related morphs, but besides that you must either search manually the expressions in the parameter tabs or reset all the morphs with Zero>Zero figure.

If the expression is a pose that moves bones of the char face, Zero>Zero figure pose will reset it.

You can try this:

1. memorize figure
2. zero figure to do whatever needs to be done in zero state
3. restore figure once it's done.

I think we still don't understand, what the OP wants.

If a figure is zeroed, it must look like the base figure (for example, Genesis 8 Basic Female) as it was originally distributed.

Everything ok now, I searched through my genesis pose sets and tried some zero figure icons there, I found one that will zero all bones but not effect the face morph chances I had made so that works fine now

thanks Leana that is a good suggestion if all else had failed,

PerttiA, sorry for the confusion, I meant I needed genesis  face morphs to not get deleted when putting genesis bones back to exact same coordinates, zero figure is the wrong term I guess the correct one would be zero the genesis bones (which would not effect morph changes to either the face or the body

 I am a daz computer dummy often and probably a computer dummy in general - just an artist that was strongly attracted to daz due to the unbelieveable color depth of the Iray and 3dlite renders, though I have never been able to get close to the promo renders  at least they have improved a lot, I would have not been able to get half as far without all the help people have given here on the forum so I want to say thank you to everyone for all the help!!

Simple, just select the head, lock it, and zero the figure, and you're done!

VicS

that's a good one, thanks

In addition to the other suggestions...  another trick if you want to zero a figure but without zero'ing everything (like the position within the scene):

• Within the scene pane select the first node underneath the main figure entry, this is often the 'Hip'.
• Now use the "Select Children" option (right click on the scene tab, then use "Select => Select Children").
• Then you 'zero' the selected nodes: right click on the 'Parameters' tab, then use: Zero => Zero selected items.

This will 'zero' the selected figure but only the pose, so everything else (including the position within the scene) isn't changed. I use this option very often myself, so I also ended up assigning keyboard shortcuts for both the "select children" and "zero selected items".

Thats awesome ShelLuser thanks
