Doesn't Daz Studio have any build-in tools for sculpting figures(or any add-on package in shop)?

Since there are a lot of available morphs already, sometimes I only have to make minor changes to my Genesis 8 character morphs (like moving just a few vertices and faces) that is not achievable by any existing morphs, I have to export it to another software like Blender or Zbrush or Hexigon... the process is a bit  annoying.

Doesn't Daz Studio have any build-in tools for sculpting tools (or any add-on package in shop), or is it going to be ? It doesn't have to be as powerful as Blender or Zbrush.

    There are no sculpting tools per se, but you can use dFormers (built in DS) or mesh grabber to move vertices around.

    There was a New User competition earlier this year which included a challenge to use Deformers - the third post in this thread has links to some tutorials on how to use them, which may be helpful.

    You can also use a weight-mapped Push Modifier to paint displacement (in one direction) onto a mesh.

    Thanks! That is what I was looking for！

    Hexagon 2.5 might be another option (it's free in the DAZ3D store). There is a bridge from DS to Hexagon (and back) that makes working with it to create quick morphs fairly easy. With that said, I find Mesh Grabber really easy to work with and ideal for quick little treaks to the geometry.  Much better than dFormers IMHO.

    I haven't used Hexagon before... but isn't Hexagon still requiring an export and import process like Blender or Zbrush?

    Good day, Hexagon does require export / import ... but it works very smoothly with Daz Studio and will automatically make a slider for the morph you create there, which is a nice feature. However, it will only export / import at base resolution ... no HD morphs.

    As I understand it, some additional tools (like HD morph capabilities) do exist ... but they are only available for the PA's.
