is there a way to make one character look like a diffrent character using a slider bar?

    Just go to the Parameters or Shaping pane, most characters include a slider for either the entire figure, the head and body separately, or both.

  • thank you :D

    You can also supplement with other morphs from other characters as well as packs you can buy at the Daz store.  If you search in the Freebies forum, you'll find ones that are free.

    yes, there is nothing there, this is a vinalla install of daz.  simply want to turn this model into a furry, a half human half animal. like any character from zootopia. that's it. does anyone know how to do that?

    What are you working with?  It looks like you've got a static prop there, rather than a rigged figure with movable limbs.

  •  all i care about is the morphing, that's it. not rigging or making it dance or anything else.

    In order to create a morph slider, either you or someone else would need to have created an alternate shape for the item.

  • heck, go ahead and provide a model, i do not care about using this particluar model being the only one i use. i don't care if it's pretty. just the bar. that's it.

  • I'm going with a vanilla character. so after that, what do i do? 

  • also i can use the version where i messed the face up a little.

    The point is, if the morphs do not already exist, they need to be made from the base character, exported to a modelling program and then reimported as a morph.  So you need to start with a rigged figure and work from there.

    No, there are plenty of add on morphs...both free and paid for which have already gone through that process.  But you can't grab an arbitrary model, like Heminio's fembot and  use it to create a morph.  Firstly, it's geometry does not match the Studio base figures so it would be rejected.

    Okay, here's an example using free items.  Download "Genesis Starter Essentials" -- that gives you the base Genesis 1 figure, plus some clothing, hair, etc.  Genesis 1 includes some basic morphs, like Male, Female, Child.  Each of them has a slider on the Parameters pane.  There are a number of freebies for the figure, there's a list of them here:  https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Genesis/Morphs

    For example, this set has head shapes for the races in Mass Effect:  http://www.sharecg.com/v/66890/

    Depending on the shape you're looking for, there might be free ones available, or you might need to buy one to get exactly what you want, for example one of these:

  • Okay, that helps a little. but does not awsner my question much. what if i use the base male that comes with daz, and want to turn it into the base female with a slider? how do i do that? or the male with his face smashed in?

  • i'm not too keen on buying anything if the program can't do anything. And instead of buying 500 packs for this for a couple grand iclone has an addon for 60 bucks that does exactly what i'm asking for and way more. what you showed me is partially what i was asking for, a way to turn a female human into a catgirl. (they are not bad looking tho, i'll save that link.)  How do i do anything remotely like that?

    You need to export the base model to a modelling program (Zbrush, Blender, etc) and sculpt what you want then reimport it to Studio as a morph.

  • thanks, how do i do that? make that into a slider bar. how do i do that? from a to b?

  • is there an online video for that? a turtoil prehaps?
