@bulka :
Yep... there will be correction morphs. That said, I know full well why my G8 stuff loads slowly. After around 200+ custom character morph sets and dozens of add-on morph kits, things bog down.
My plan here is to minimize that to only the custom morph sets that I build and import, and only the necessary bits after that.
Failing that, I'll kick it down and use G3.
@pooper
That's a problem 🙂 .... I'm also tired of long downloads - removed most of the unused characters - so much free space 😉
And the loading time has been greatly reduced.
....
I mean, the new figure will be harder in the future because of these jcm - with the same number of characters to load - the main problem of the figure is stupid topology .....
And if you also add jcm for geotransplants ...... a nightmare.I'm thinking of regenerating a G8 directory structure, moving just a few things into it, and seeing how that works, but existing scenes and sets may throw errors by the ton. I'll see how that goes.
@Nil @bidule, I have a small "How to" make one click characters txt file, you can follow - once you are done with your mix. It includes among other adjust "rigging to shape", and "ERC Freeze", so that you end up with a new FBM morph of your mix.
I try to send it in a PM.
All of my characters are custom dial spun starting on 8 and I moved to 8.1, removed the link in G8.1 to the G8 morphs did an export and import of morphs to 8.1 so only my character morphs for the characters I use are in there for ultra speedy loading. I am not moving to 9 unless a skin converter is released. If one isn't I'll just use 9 for beasts/aliens/etc like I do with 8 now, and stick with 8.1.
@oldwolf - how do you de-link G8 and 8.1? I already use 8.1 exclusively for my toys.
In
data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Add-ons\Daz 3D\Base
DAZAddonPath.dsf
Can be opened in notepad++
Make a BACKUP copy first as I don't recall if I had to make other fixes as it was back when 8.1 was released.
In there is a line:
"data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Male/Morphs",
Delete that line and save.
Warning, you will have access to ONLY g8.1 morphs, no G8 morphs at all so if there is something you MUST have like expression morphs, ear morphs, or growing up, or whatever, you MUST make a copy of those into your G8.1 folder.
If you made something with the G8 morphs and you do this, those morphs will still be loaded even with this done, but only the ones actually used. It won't try to load every stinking morph in existence in your G8 folder LOL.
I resist. I am not going to bother unless I can convert both my characters and my skins over easily. If I cannot, I will only use 9 for aliens or beasts.
I stand by what I said earlier.
As things are & are currently developing, I will not buy in to G9.
:0/
@Inversekinematics 🙂 And anyway, this g9 will be the most controversial of all the figures of Dazstudio.... and the most problematic for us is not PA.
.... Yes, looking at the topic on the official forum "Head Game" - and seeing the very interesting results of facial morphs - I would also like to switch to this figure.
But! I'm stopped by the stupid topology, the weight of the figure to render, and..... (new quote):
3feetwolf :
"Since the steps to use NGG9 will be more complicated than previous versions, it will be released with a detailed user guide (pdf file).
After the release of NGG9, according to your needs and feedbacks, I will release more tutorials, and even the original texture (exr file) can be shared."
And the same problem can arise with Golden Palace .....
This is a Very good figure for PA and "family renders" - and a Very problematic figure for users.
I do not convince you of something - no, we each have our own opinion and that's good. I'm just explaining why there is so much negativity towards this figure....I found something you will need to do, more than just delete that line. I opened mine to look it up and did a test. Instead of just deleting "data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Male/Morphs", or the corresponding for females you need to REPLACE it with "data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Male/Morphs/DAZ 3D", and/or the same for female as without that line some of your G8 made characters converted to G8.1 are going to look odd so you need the base folder for G8 but can ignore the rest. G8.1 itself might require some of the stuff in the base folders. I suppose you could add lines for specific folders but I use a bit of some of the morphs from official daz sets so I just include the entire DAZ 3D folder.
I knew there was something else back when I originally did it, just could not remember what.
Hooooooooly sh$#@! You were not kidding when you said that things would speed up with that little trick!
I may not have to bother with G9 for a good long time anymore.
PS: If anyone else got a use out of that, send that soul some points!
Cheers!
