TMA Andrea for Genesis 8.1 Female no shape slider?

I recently got TMA Andrea for Genesis 8.1 Female, I usually buy characters for the shape sliders or materials. To my suprise I did not find a shape slider with this figure. Is this an error? Am I the only one? And quite important for me: Is this usual for characters of TMA (Tomars Animations)?

    As I see it, there has to be a slider, because it is a morph.

    I don't have her, but have you tried to search for it, and if still no luck, it might be hidden although that doesn't make sense.

    Looks like the morphs were saved as "hidden".  I'm sure it's not standard DAZ character practice.

    You could look for HBM and FHM under the hidden morphs and unhide them for good by editing the property, but it should be submitted as a QC issue anyway.

    How did you install? It has sliders, the filelist shows .dsf files in the /data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/Female 8_1/Morphs/ folder - which does mean it is an 8.1 character and won't work on 8.

    I ticked the "Show Hidden Properties" option in the Active Pane Options menu while being in the shaping pane but still couldn't find the morphs. Am I looking in the right place? Not sure what HBM stands for, FBM is Full Head Morph right?

    I installed the character through the DIM and did try to find the morph while having a base G 8.1 selected in the scene, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

    My bad. It's FBM.

    Character morphs should have either one of these two prefixes, or the character name. It's better to look under the Parameters tab with the text search.

    But I'd check files on the disk first, if the files are in /data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/Female 8_1/Morphs/ .

    Or if the apply shape presets shows in the product. Can an entire actor figure from the product be loaded at all?

    Because it might be problem with the install.

    Interesting, I can find the morph under the parameters tab under "All" but not under the Shaping tab. Loading the character was not a problem at all, it was really just the morph I couldn't find.

    Click the gear icon on the slider, open Parameter Settings, and see what the Type iss et to - it should usually be modifier/shape for a morph.

    All three shape sliders for this figure are set to Modifier/Shape, but are only found under the Parameters tab, none of them are under the shaping tab.

    In the same dialogue, what is their Path?

  • BlueFingersBlueFingers Posts: 904

    These are the paths:

    TMA Andrea Body_Shape
    File Path: /data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/Female 8_1/Morphs/Tomars Animations/TMA Andrea 8.1/TMA Andrea Body_Shape.dsf
    ID Path: Genesis8_1Female#TMA%20Andrea%20Body_Shape:?value

    TMA Andrea Full:
    File Path: /data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/Female 8_1/Morphs/Tomars Animations/TMA Andrea 8.1/TMA Andrea Full.dsf
    ID Path: Genesis8_1Female#TMA%20Andrea%20Full:?value

    TMA Andrea Head_Shape
    File Path: /data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/Female 8_1/Morphs/Tomars Animations/TMA Andrea 8.1/TMA Andrea Head_Shape.dsf
    ID Path: Genesis8_1Female#TMA%20Andrea%20Head_Shape:?value

    Thanks for having a look at this Richard.

    I meant the field labelled Path in the upper section of the dialogue, which gives the property groups for the parameter.

  • BlueFingersBlueFingers Posts: 904

    It says "Morphs/Morph Loader", I guess it should've been "Actor/People/Real World"?

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,309

    Yes, or at least start with Actor.

    Thanks Richard, I have submitted a ticket.
