Renderotica

Hi, 

I think I see what you mean, and I've made some attempts in NG9 to simulate this real-world situation.
If you only open the left and right thighs to the sides (Side-Side, no Bend), you will see the entire gens become "flattened" by the automatic morph.
However, if the thighs are not only open to the sides but also bend, the situation becomes very complicated and the automatic morph does not work well.
I made an additional Actor morph called "0008 - Rotation When Thighs Open", which is to try to make the shape of the gens less obtrusive in the above situation. Please see if it fits your needs. 

 

thank you so much, i am sure it has something to do with the g8clone. it would be very nice if you can help, because a large number of users convert their figures from g8 to g9 in this way, and than the pussy is comming out because the g8f has other high and proportions and than the gens are useless, but this product is so nice and we all want to use it also on our g8 clones :-)

the pictures are our normal Geocraft in the normal g9 form and the second with a morph generated with the video by using the g8 clone. you can reproduce this a little, if you use the clone morph fpr G8 under hidden.

Thank you so much for your help.

thank you so much, but sorry, i dont understand at what stage i have to do this,

1:first i bring in gen8 and gen9,

2: then i use the clone (hidden) on g9 to to have the same shape, (if i use the victoria morph here, i dont have the same shape)

3:then i export this as Object, then i import it make a figure from the object with the transfer utility,

4: then i morph the g8 which morphs also the binding g9,

5: then i export the g9 as object and bring it in on a new g9 with morph loader.

at which stage i should use the victoria dial?

and what can i do, if the character is already finished or if i have the morph from another vendor which has used this method to create a G9 Version from an G8 Character? 

 

 

 

After seeing the comments from, 3feelwolf on the first post of this thread, I decides to test every female character I own.  Except for Victoria 9, all characters had varying amounts of distortion of the Pubis Mons and clitoral hood area.  Most distortion was a minor flattening ot the Pubis mons area with varying degrees of clitoral hood protrusions or flattening distortion.  A couple were downright WTF?  HTH

Characters with minor distortion:

CB Arceli
CB Marli
E3D Biddie
HID Nora
Josie 9
MSO Lorienne (significant flattening of the clitoral hood).
MW Elisabeth
P3D Rowan Teen

Characters with moderate distortion (clitoris starting to stick out)

Genesis 9 Feminine
MSO Peppa

Characters with severe distortion

BJ Tyler
Minerva 9


 

 

Had this same thing happen with Rowan Teen for the adult model. I should note that it was fine until I saved the scene and came back later to it. Then I came across this. As you mentioned though I searched for the femine body and just jacked it up and it mostly fixed it.

Thank you very much! This post is very helpful to me. 

With regards to adopting NGG9 for macOS @3feetwolf:

Task would be to have the files in data/3feetwolf/New Genitalia for Genesis 9/Resources work on Mac. As far as I know you could try to come up with an bash script (.sh) doing the same on mac as the batch file (.bat) on windows. That would also require to convert the preprocessing.exe (guess it mainly does simple image operations) to a mac .app application file. 

Problem might be to invoke all this from within studio and to overcome potential security issues on mac which would probably prevent users from simple running the bash script or the .app.

A potential alternative could be using the automation app for the mac which is called shortcuts. It should be potentially possible to do the image processing actions you do on windows with it. Find a short article about using shortcuts for image processing here: https://teng.pub/technical/2022/1/7/develop-for-shortcuts-to-process-images

I don't know how everything works on windows (could one do a screen movie for the "01 - Preprocess Character Textures.dse"?) and rather doubt that it may work as seemlessly on mac. But I would say it should be feasible to provide the same functionality through a mac bash script/application or shortcuts action the user has to trigger outside of studio to prepare the textures.

If you would share insights about the image processing with NGG9 I'd be glad to look into shortcuts for a mac equivalent as long as the process is not too complex for my little shortcuts knowledge. Simply PM. For more advanced development you might need to hire a mac developer. 

Thanks everyone for your help, I just found a solution for the shape problem. Please download the attached update package and overwrite the old files with the same name with the files in this package.
After installing the update, start DAZ Studio and apply NG9 to your character. Select NG9 in the scene, then go to the Parameters pane. Under "Actor -> 07 - Figure Compatibility" you can see two new morphs, "OverallAdjustment" and "LowerAbdominalAdjustment". Among them, "OverallAdjustment" has been pre-assigned a value by the script. You can dial the values of these two morphs until NG9 matches your character.
I have tested this solution on some G9 characters, and I personally think the test results are satisfactory. But It obviously needs more testing, so you are welcome to test it and post feedback here. If it meets your needs, I will update the NG9 installation package.

 

i have test this, but this doesnt help, genitals stand out like before and the Character has the wrong shape.

is it caused by your concept of weigt maps? :

 

I think he mentioned about this before about the sub-division. Try lowering that, when it gets to high it causes problems. I hope this helps.

P.S to 3feetwolf wanted to really give you props on the design/morphs again I had a character laying on her side and the gens didn't clip and my eyes went O.O because that is always a huge headache to deal with in creator side.
