Diffeomorphic issues with eyelashes shapekeys

Acky

Hey guys,

I've been doing this in the past without problems on a bunch of G8 and now since i need a few new G8 i am having issues and maybe i am in a loop because i can't seem to fix it.

Getting G8 from daz 4.22.0.16 to blender 4.2.1 with diffeo 4.2.0 and even tried development version final destination being unreal 5.4.2 for a G8 with shapekeys.

After a simple diffeo import i import units and for the sake of this post what i am interested in is the eye closed morph.

After conversion to shapekey and transferred to eyelashes the shapekey is broken and i don't understand what i am doing wrong.

First image is fresh import, second is with diffeo driving morph and third is with shapekey where is broken.

If anyone has any ideea i appreciate it. Thanks.

In this case you have to first merge meshes then convert to shapekeys, otherwise it gets complicated to drive separate meshes with shapekeys.

steps:

1. import G8F with face units
2. we need to merge the eyelashes to convert to shapekeys: setup > finishing > merge meshes
3. convert morphs to shapekeys
4. the created morphs are not driven, so we can delete the face units afterward: advanced > morphs > remove standard morphs

There's actually some bugs though, reported to Thomas.

update. The bugs are fixed in the last commit.

Thank you very much Padone. That is the right order, and it fixes problems for me. I missed that.
