Better Head Morphs for V4?

Hi,

I own the product Genesis 2 Female Head Morphs, and it is amazing.
http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-2-female-head-morphs

After using it on my V6/G2 characters, it is hard to use a V4 character (which I sometimes want/need to do) and lose that control. I have the Morphs ++ product for V4 but I cannot get the control I want to try to mimic real life characters after experiencing the Genesis 2 Female Head Morphs.

See attached example of Genesis 2 Female Head Morphs. I like that I can do double chin, place the nose bump in exact location, things I can't seem to do with V4 where I can’t find things like double chins with any V4 face morphs.

Any ideas on what I can buy for my V4 characters or a way to apply the G2 face morph controls to V4?

Thanks in advance,

Bryan

    It's not really surprising that G2F is more advanced than V4 in this regard, because I believe V4 is a 5+ year old character at this point. For double chins and some of the other morphs shown in this picture, your best bet might be Morphia:

    This comes as a .cr2 file called Morphia and you would need to inject your other V4 morphs into Morphia (I usually save that as a standard scene file to call up). It won't let you place the nose bump anywhere you like, but it has some nose bump morphs that are different from Morphs++ so you might find those helpful. Failing that, you could try deformers for the nose.

    GenX2 is a plug-in for Studio that can transfer morphs from older generation figures (some generation may require an add-on product, type "genx" into store's search box) to the Genesis 2 figures. This would allow you to bring older V4 characters foward to use on G2F.

    Thanks you guys! I will check both of these out. Do you know if GenX2 will allow me to also use previously v4-developed poses and animation with G2/V6 and not move around and get out of whack?

    Thanks again

    GenX2 just does morphs. Poses getting messed is the result of figures having different joint set-ups and/or proportions.

    Thanks for the earlier help. On a related note, would the below product be compatible with v4? It's a very newbie question, but it seems "Genesis," applies to V3, V4, V5, then Genesis 2 comes in with V6, correct?

    (compatible with v4?)

    i am using Daz to make some doctor, patient conversations, some about weight, so still assessing additional options.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bryan

    Just to clear things up, Genesis is a different figure, released in between V4 and Genesis 2; a product for it would not be backward compatible with V4, and it looks like that is the case with Face Weight For Genesis.

    Not sure if this is the kind of info you would be interested in. I think when I read your first post that you want the type of morphs you are seeing in the Genesis 2 Female package. One thing to remember is that the first time you want to use any of these morph packs you will have to inject them. Victoria 4 is not like Genesis in that respect. That is why there is a power loader script for her and none for the genesis's. As Odaa has informed you once you get the morphs injected you can save out this Victoria and you are ready to play.

    Wow Dollygirl,

    I'm so excited to go through these! I'm sure I will pick up some of the paid and free.

    You know I should have said earlier, that one of the reasons I am trying to stick with V4 for this is because, among other V4/M4 purchases, I purchased the fairly expensive medical Anatomy Pro bundle which is optimized for V4/M4.

    Thanks so much!

    Bryan
