Hi,
Hoping everybody is fine,
I’ve got a problem with morphing one leg, not always but with some specified poses (No problem with standing poses) The result is just ugly. Any help is welcomed.
Best regards

Do you mean pose rather than morph, or are you changing the shape of an existing figure? Is this a figure and morph that you have created and imported into Daz? If so, the settings may be wrong. It may even be a problem with the original figure if you are simply trying to pose a commercial figure.

Hi, thanks for your answer, yes I would rather say pose instead of morph. I've just created a character from GF8 changing morphs, that's all, all was going well since the moment I tried to change poses

If the morphs are those which are built into Daz, I don't know what to suggest. Is the figure an already-morphed one rather than a base (eg G8F)? If so, it may be that there is a flaw in the original morph, and that needs to be sorted. Nothing showing here is in any way offensive, so mt thought is to open a help ticket at Daz or contact the creator.
If you had made the figure yourself it might have been the transfer not correctly done. Sorry. Not a lot of help, but DAZ staff are usually pretty good.

The problem is related to a post I made a while back.

It's a broken JCMorph dial. Probably something like "pJCMThighFwd_115_L"
When G8 was first released, DAZ added or improved a few automatic hip/thigh bend morphs. This was a good thing because it allows G8 to bend her thighs a little more extremely and maintain a smoother mesh than G3.
Unfortunately the dials in the parameters tab were not set to "hidden" when the figures were first released, and would show up as "Currently Used" in the parameters tab. This has been fixed as the dials no longer shows in the Parameters tab unless you select "Show Hidden".
This caused some pose pack creators to Zero those dials when they were doing their "Clean up" pass while getting them ready for market. Sometimes users would also zero these dials themselves, thinking they were errant activated morphs or just playing with the dial to see what it changes.
I'm not a rigging expert, but I do know that making any change to those JCM dials throws them out of sync with the parent joint permanently. Once you apply a pose with the broken dial the joint is effectively broken. I have not had any success "resetting" the dials. (If someone who knows more about rigging has a solution to resetting those dials, please post the solution here :) )
The good news is that the broken dial only exists on THAT character in THAT scene file. Your core characters are unharmed.
You should be able to save a character preset, delete the character, load in a fresh copy of G8 and apply the character preset to get your custom character back, I don't believe it saves the broken dial in the character preset.
I'm 99% sure this is your problem based on the image.
I would also recommend creating a fresh G8 character, and apply the poses you were using until you see the distortion, then delete the offending pose and notify the site so the vendor can be informed and the pose pack be updated.
Hope this helps, if the above was NOT the problem you had, please PM me and I'll give you an email address to send the scene file to so I can look further into it as I'd be VERY curious to see what is going on.

Basically, when you're posing the figure yourself, avoid changing any dials with "JCM" in them. If you manually dial those, it can throw them out of sync with the attached joint. You may be able to use the "reset" option on the dial in the parameters tab, but that seems to only fix it 50% of the time.
