Can you go to System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Security and see if you are set to "App Store and Identified Developers" ?

If not please change and then try again

If you are then can you navigate to your "data/3feetwolf/New Genitalia for Genesis 9/Resources" and double click the "preprocessingMac" app ? It should launch and then quit - and then try again. 

Also - what version of MacOS are you running and HW?  

Security and/or permissions had been one of my first thoughts... and while there were not signs in the logs of any issues, I did check both (was able to manually launch the app, not that it did anything, and all permissions on my DAZ directories should allow for RW).  I timed the running, and it was 22 seconds - this is on a Mac Studio (20 Core M! Ultra, 128GB RAM) running 12.6.1.

After fighting with this on a Mac and finally getting the security settings to accept the batch processing, it now looks as though it is running, but after it finishes step 1, it won't allow me to customize or apply genitalia.  Also preprocessing still give the "Start" or "Exit" options.  So if obviously didn't work.  I'm thoroughly disappointed in this product.  There should at least be manual way to load things.  Wish there was a way to get a refund and not really interested in fighting with it for much longer.  

On a 2.7 GHz 24-Core Intel Xeon W it takes a few minutes, if you feel comfortable working at the command line, can you navigate to the resources directory 

vi preproccessing.bat

change @echo off to #!bin/bash

change the portion that says 

data/3feetwolf/New Genitalia for Genesis 9/Resources/preprocessingMac.app

to

data/3feetwolf/New Genitalia for Genesis 9/Resources/preprocessingMac.app/Contents/MacOS/preprocessingMac

save it, and then at the terminal command line

chmod 755  preproccessing.bat

and then issue the command

./preproccessing.bat

I'm expecting that you'll get an error something like 

[1496] Error loading Python lib '/var/folders/v6/kwv8sn296nv8nq839_n_7njm0000gn/T/_MEIl5Z7kk/Python': dlopen: dlopen(/var/folders/v6/kwv8sn296nv8nq839_n_7njm0000gn/T/_MEIl5Z7kk/Python, 0x000A): Symbol not found: (_mkfifoat)

If you are running on a version of MacOS lower than 13.1 please let me know, I think there was a library update that was made between the two versions (it was compiled on 13.1).

I just purchased this because it's a staple for all my gen8 females unfortunately Josie 9 gens are distorted pretty badly when she is posed. Neutral pose she looks fine. I skimmed over the first few pages of this thread and I'm honestly confused. Im running the newest version of Daz, Windows 10 and NVIDIA Drivers. My rig is a 5900x, 3080 12GB, and 64GB of RAM. I have Mesh Grabber, is that the only fix for this? And how would one use Mesh Grabber to fix it? I saw that some of the models where being fixed, please let me know what I can do to fix this, and if official support could be added to Josie 9 that would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Hi, 

Have you downloaded and installed the latest installation package of NG9? It has been updated to optimize for Josie 9. If you have installed the latest NG9 but the problem persists, please let me know. I will continue to search for the real cause of the problem for you.

Hi,

I have the same problem with Josie 9. I have downloaded the latest version for Windows, no luck.

Tried playing with the "rotation when thighs open" dial, but doesn't really help.

One thing I noticed, Josie 9 is not in the list for Actor/Full body/People under Parameters. Is that normal, or should we see a Josie 9 there?

Thanks
 

Same, Im not seeing the morph for her in the actors section either, which made me think that josie 9 just wasn't done yet. We'll get there tho <3 , for now im doing a bunch of post render stuff in photoshop to fix this. In short I'm using 2 renders (one with josie morph and one without) and blending the genz/pelvic area into a final render. It's a solution but its not for everyone and def not a permanent solution.
