GenX convert comparison question - help
I converted Barliecorn with GenX and it turned out really well except the eyelashes...is there anything better to do when converting so they aren't clumpy looking? This is the first conversion I have done with GenX.
V4 is normal, Genesis conversion has elf ears

Did you change the UV on them to V4 also?
I did not before I converted it, I was just trying the v4 uv and corrected v4 uv now on the texture I converted and didn't see much improvement in making the lashes fit better or less clumpy. Should I have changed it somewhere before I did the conversion?
Last time I had such trouble I fixed it on Genesis by shrinking the opacity on the eyelashes.
I also got some GenX conversion trouble. When there is Aiko4 or girl4 part dial-in I don't get the same as the v4. I got that trouble on the body. Love handles and breasts are not with the same shapes.
I got the trouble for example with P3D Aisha.
Is anyone know that trouble and or how to fix it (and yes I got the Gen 4 Iconic Shapes for Genesis)?
You shouldn't need to convert the texture as Genesis can use V4 mats. Did you use the Poser mats or Ds mats? Barlie comes with both.
I didn't convert the texture, I transfered the morphs from V4 to genesis for Barlie, then applied the mats then saved as character preset but all is done within GenX, I will have to check again to see if I used poser mats or DS. Where does GenX save the shape if I want to delete it and redo or would it just overwrite the previous saved model? I don't want to end up with extras which will just take up space.
Maybe I am doing something wrong but I did follow the steps in the video to a T
In GenX you have a "tab" Morphs and you click on GenX then in it you can parse your export and disable or delete them.
if you prefer manually in data\DAZ 3D\Genesis\Base\Morphs\D3D Gen X\ and in the right subfolder ex Victoria 4
Sioc Thank you , I found it :)
Vaskania: I used the mats in the folder labeled Poser and DS, the images there have the yellow ds folder on the corner.
I played around with it and changed the texture and added hair, did some morph adjustments and reduced the eyelashes, I think she looks better now. Opinions? Still looking for options within GenX when tranfering so eyelashes don't look matted and clumpy. Will try another character and see how it comes out
So I got her dressed and tried some various V5 poses, but see what happens to the eyes they sinkback in the socket and look so strange...I
Remember me of other trouble I had. If you have the beta or ok with the crash a lot of the proprieties editor of the 4.6, do a ERC Freeze before saving you preset character and tell us if you still have the trouble.
I do not know what ERC freeze is, or where to do it. Sorry...do you mean in GenX when doing the transfer, or once you reload it to apply the material...
hmmm I'm not so good I can easiily explain.
And I forgot to tell you to do an "Adjust Rig to Shape" to your character first (you can have a look there for that http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/userguide/creating_content/modeling/tutorials/auto_rig/start)
For ERC Freeze :
Have a look there http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/userguide/creating_content/assembling/tutorials/pose_control/start
what is ERC Freeze is explained in the Foundation chapter, and they use ERC Freeze in that guide.
So you don't need to create a new pose controle (or you can if you want to make a master dial that dial all other morph dialed at once..) but you can use ERC freeze with accept without creating a new pose controle to initial all ok.
Ok I will read up on that tonite and see how it works, thank you for your information :)
I am not sure if these links are what I need...shouldn't a transfer of mprphs with Genx convert correctly without doing anything extra?
The eyes have reset to Default size, that could have been caused by the Pose that was applied. I think your morph is working right. I get this on some figures when using poses for other models on them. Akio4 does not like some and the Eyes change often on me.
Did Barliecorn by chance originally come with a pose for an eyefix? I know Thorne/Sarsa characters can tend to have these for this reason.
Yes there is an eye fix morph, it worked to adjust the eyes better, but you have to use it everytime you change the pose, andyou have to go back to the gen 4 folder where Barlie is to use it, Isthere a way to include this morph and also the various ear morphs in GenXwhen transferring. The inj morphs were easy to do but the eye and ear morphs are pz2 not inj and I don't know how to include them when transferring morphs.
Also the eye fix morph works on genesis but the ear morphs do nothing when double clicking to apply to genesis
Yes. I think when I've done it I just threw in the eye fix into genx also with the rest of the injection so it was set in the dial itself, or I created a separate slider for it, I don't remember, but I know I've transferred them somehow.
