Awesome! I am glad you fixed it.
Material Suits updates are out! It appears that the suits with anatomical elements are working with shape dials/presets! Thanks sickleyield!
I've uploaded two logs (just in case you want more info). One for the Character Converter using G8.1F. The other is the Custom Character Converter using G8F.
With the Custom Character Converter I had an infamous "random restart", when Daz Studio became unresponsive. It crashed when the converter came across one of the philthrum morphs.
This is the last information when the Character Converter Log crashed:
And this is the last of the log info for the Custom Character Converter:
Naturally, I had to experiment on the update.
It is not AS broken as pre-update, but not quite the transfer utility level.
Hi RiversoftArt
I've just downloaded a recent update
I have just converted Albany
I found the nails morphs caused an issue with a thin body, so I dialed out the one that caused the issue may be all these dials could be zeroed by default
It looks like all the morphs load with gen 9 including the lower versions, it's dificult to see what is what, in my case i see 9, 8 and 8.1 as I have removed all the others
Adding the original into the scene showed it was very close in shaping and textures
The eyelashes were a problem here, the RSSY Genesis Eyelash's were in the wrong place I've attached a render for you to see
I replaced the RSSY 8 eyelashes with the G9 ones and all is OK I couldnt see a RSSY 8 eyelash
I couldn't change the eye colour, however, if I replaced the RSSY eyes with the Gen 9 ones or with the RSSY 8 and 8.1 eyes all was then well
I noticed the converted Actor shows RSSY Genesis 8
I tried to change the makeup using g9 and g8 but this didn't work, the original 8 has lots of options but I couldn't see these
Keep up the good work
I also exposed a few TU settings in the data/RiverSoft Art/Common/RSG8G9CharacterConversionConstants.dsa file. You could try setting some of those.
If you want to have them removed by default, edit the data/RiverSoft Art/Common/RSG8G9CharacterConversionConstants.dsa file (in a text editor), the variable
var MORPH_FILTERS = [
'mouthrealism',
'eyelash',
'height',
'navel'
];
specifies the names of morphs to not convert.
Since Daz log usually lags 1-3 messages behind when it crashes, it makes it a little difficult to figure exactly when it crashed. However, it either crashed during all the steps to create the controller property or just after. Thankfully, we can figure that out.
Go to data/RiverSoft Art/Common/RSG8G9CharacterConversionConstants.dsa and load it in a text editor. Change:
var BREAK_POINT = "";
to
var BREAK_POINT = "CHARACTER PROPERTY";
Run again. If it crashes, please post the log. If it DOESN'T crash, the script will stop after creating the character controller. If that step was successful, it tells me more. Please post the log. (BTW, make sure to change the BREAK_POINT variable back or every conversion will always stop at this point)
Unfortunately, the update does not fix the mac issue. The leading / is still missing in the path.
With the converter, I've notice most of the models I have do not use FBM/FHM in their morph naming but use Head or Body instead. I have attempted to resave the name of the morphs to start with FHM/FBM, but still have issues because sometimes I wind up having doubled morphs. Was it ever considered to see if the morph name includes Head or Body as an OR statement?
Ah, so we can use this to skip converting HD morphs on characters where HD is part of the preset. (Or save the character without the HD morphs as another character preset...)
Okay, I've spent a few hours testing the converter with the file edited. I tried using the EXACT same settings between the converter and TU.
Thoughts;
1. Regardless of settings, the Converter changes the body of g9 while TU leaves it alone.
2. Could the 'reverse source shape from target' setting affect the above?
I will try to use my self-made clone for the converter, just to see if it would affect things.
At least DAZ Studio doesn't crash anymore whe loading the Material Suit, that's a big step forward!
Now only someone who can explain how to get the shaping morphs of the MASC Gens to show up - any suggestions? The basic shape morphs in the genitals are there, but not the various expansions from other merchants.
Don't know if this has been addressed yet but when executing the command to install custom actions the popup says "Fa&vorites" instead of just favorites. Is that intended?
And the distorted character thing can be slightly mitigated with dialing down some character morphs, but every one I've tried to convert has been misshapen and twisted. Even in the absence of HD morphs, they need to be adjusted to the point where they resemble the G9 dev model more than anything else. The material copy is flawless, though.
This did not work for me at all. I keep getting the popup to either zero or restore the figure 0's. Did you? What did you choose?
Lovely product. I'm glad I came here to the forums else I would have NEVER figured out how to solve all the morph distortion that was happening when converting characters. The material suits are excellent as well! I am wondering however... has anyone else run into an issue where they are unable to apply any G8 materials or shaders to the G8 Eyelash Suit? I've been tinkering with it for about half an hour now on a few converted characters and haven't really been able to make much progress.
It's truthfully not THAT big of a deal as I can just hide the Eyelash suit and apply a G9 eyebrow product to the character but I was wondering if anyone had found a viable solution for this.
Another version arrived in DIM today, and that fixed the mac file issue. Thanks a lot @RiversSoftArt
Here is the Aurore G8 conversion
To correct the corrupt conversion a number of dials are in play
HD body Body causes Distortion
HD head Body causes Distortion
Kayleyss Square Nails causes figure to look like it's unfed for weeks, not sure why this dial is at 100% ?
FHM Aurore Assymetry changes face completely not just the assymetry
In the renders below no particular order the original has the RSSY eyelashes in the wrong place, render with RSSY eyelashes removed and render with eyes replaces with g9 ones
You can't change the eye colour with these RSSY 8 eye's, but you can if you replace them with the g9 eyes or reloading the RSSY eys 8 or 8.1 eyes
Unable to use the make up options
Breast up and down controls set to 80% reset to 100 to correct
Good attempt, keep up the good work
Hello,
Yeah I found that weird too... look. I renamed the "morphs" directory. And retested. Enclosed the screen and below the logs.
One strange thing : If I load Michael 8.1, everything is fine.
I see in the log that the converter script copy "BaboonG8M-IrisSize" for any reason? (it is one of the character I tried to convert as well, but I don't have it anymore, I deleted it). Is there a place the script keep its previous work? For sure, BaboonG8M is not used on the original Michael 8.1 lol.
Strange, the fix worked for @w_r_brook_ec9f3e956e. Can I see the log? Maybe it is pulling in an old version? The size of the data/RiverSoft Art/Common/RSG8G9CharacterConversionFunctions.dse is 57,680 bytes (size on disk is different of course)
You must not buy most of your characters from Daz.
This is a naming convention that has been in place for years.
Ok, I will make an update to check if the morph name starts with FHM/Head or FBM/Body.
Or any morph used more than once that causes problems.
The ADJUST_TARGET_BASE constant is the one that sets the 'reverse source shape from target'
I passed your question onto SickleYield
Yes, this is intended. The "&" represents the underscore under the "v" that is used to hotkey to the Favorites window by pressing Alt-v on Windows.
I would rename your converted morphs directory temporarily so that you are starting from scratch and know that a bad conversion is not affecting anything. The converted morphs are located in \data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 9\Base\Morphs under the first directory listed in the Daz Studio Formats section of the Content Directory Manager (which is usually My Library)
Oh good! I am glad it fixed it.
Select the RSSY Genesis 8 Eyelash Suit. Go to the Surfaces pane. Select the RSSY Genesis 8 Eyelash Suit surface. Double-click on the preset that is for G8 Eyelashes.
p.s. I am glad you came to the forum and didn't give up. I am happy you got it working for you.
Morph Dials are set to the values the G8 version had on conversion.
Assymetry morphs on the head will not ever work I think.
To change the eye color, select the RSSY Genesis 8 Eye Suit and load the G8 eyes preset to change.
To use makeup, select the RSSY Genesis 8 Female Suit and load the G8 makeup preset to change.
Not sure what you mean here, but morphs that only affect a small portion of the body will also affect the body as a whole
What do you mean if you LOAD M8.1? Do you mean just LOAD M8.1 into the same scene or CONVERT M8.1?
The script works by loading the character and seeing what morphs are being used. If you load M8.1 into a new scene, look for BaboonG8M-IrisSize, I am sure you will find it (it may be a hidden property though).
Morph Dials are set to the values the G8 version had on conversion.
Hi I think the G8 is OK, I just looked at all the dials for the nails etc for a standard g8 they are set to 0
However when you choose the actor the converted character has morph dials at 100%
Just loaded the original Albany it has Mousso nails at 100%, so the actor is setting the dials differentely, no hd settings in this one
Assymetry morphs on the head will not ever work I think.
To change the eye color, select the RSSY Genesis 8 Eye Suit and load the G8 eyes preset to change
Hi I had filter by contex on, so it was selecting g9 eyes. In the surface tab, I entered just her name in the search field all is good, otherwise you get everything
To use makeup, select the RSSY Genesis 8 Female Suit and load the G8 makeup preset to change.
Hi Thank you, I had filter by contex on, so it was selecting g9. In the surface tab, I entered just her name in the search field all is good
Not sure what you mean here, but morphs that only affect a small portion of the body will also affect the body as a whole
When I loaded both the converted actor and the original, the breasts looked different, so I checked the settings and found that everything looked OK
From the parameters tab, I looked at the parameters breast up and down and found it was set to min -80% I reset this to -100% then they looked the same
Keep up the good work
