Rank:
It's strange but after all these years I still have an ideal 3D body morph and that's the Girl Next door by Blackhearted. Unfortunately my tech savviness is below zero and I don't really get how to transfer the morphs.
Has anyone ever successfully transferred V4 characters to GF8.1? I'd really love to learn how to do it if anyone is willing to share his knowledge.you need to use the genx plugin first, converting v4 to g3f, then use other plugin, xtransfer, to convert g3f to g8f
Rank:Will that convert to GF8.1?
If you want the GND character in DS couldn't you just install it and use it as a V4.2 character in Daz Studio? It's been a long time but I believe the Vicky characters are still useable in DS.
Naturally you couldn't then use the G8F textures for her but you could use the Uber shaders on any of the V4 textures.RiverSoftArt was supposedly working on V4 - G8F character conversion script, but has gone very quiet on it for a long time.
I think they are hoping people will forget about it!
It is very frustrating because I have dozens of V4 characters I would like to see updated to G8F
🙁
Rank:I'm kind of lost with these tools to be honest. I've used V4 in DS before but characters that depend heavily on advanced or superfly poser shaders don't work well. I've got tons of characters that I'd like to convert and I really like the new 8.1 skins. Also, I really don't care for the GND face, I've seen a tool that can split the morphs and I could use just the body.
I've also read about the expected plugin, especially now that genx will not work on the new DS. I hope they make it, it's such a shame to throw away so many beautiful models.Rank:@ondrej You need the original V4 London? I can send it over to you. I used danae characters almost exclusively before turning to DS, just loved them. The morphs were OK but the skin was incredible!
TBH I could swamp you with dozens of them...
I just wish they would come up with a viable script, so I could do them myself in one hit.
Morph integrity is lost with every transfer.:0/
I'll try to prioritise. 😉
🙂
The morphs are lost by the geometry of the original .obj. An .obj from v4 is not the same as one from G8f. For that I recommend Maya, vary the skeleton towards a model closer to G8F (pose A), or G3F (pose T) and export as .obj. With a Transfer or with the script "Shape Rigger Plus" I think it can be done. (maybe, with "Dsf Tools", for Uv´s, etc...). I am not certain of it.
Rank:You know what they say, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" I'd be grateful to learn the best process to do this if it's not too much trouble @durrell 🙂
I said earlier you need the plugin genx, available here on zonegfx. Basically, you need to convert the body and head morph poses from v4 to genesis 3 female (the plugin includes a pdf with detailed instructions). The boring part is you don't have conversion to g8f in genx plugin, so, the next step is to convert your new g3f morph to g8f. There are a lot of plugins that can do that, my favorite is Xtransfer, available here on zonegfx too.
All that I said is just for the morph, the textures are another story, you would need not a plugin but a program: Texture Transformer.
Rank:Thank you @durrell I'll give it a shot 🙂
There is such a creator - Shinteo. It transfers game characters to the basis of g8f, along with textures....
With this program: Wrap3
But you can use figure V4 instead of game models!?......
Advantages of this method: material(textures), minimal differences in geometry (compared to other methods).....Rank:Yes! It seems that it can be done. I found this user that has actually done it!
