Can I use "Male face morphs" on Female faces ?

Max_theHitman

I know, its a strange question, but NO, I do not wish to put a beard on a girl 

my question is.... is it possible for a certain face morph, made for male models,

to be used on a female model?

for example, this one by RareStone - https://www.daz3d.com/rarestone-s-face-morphs-collection-for-genesis-8-male

It seems to have more face-morph dials for the many parts of the nose.

 

The reason I ask  is that certain female morphs do not allow much shaping and sculpting when it comes to the nose.

Some very famous actresses have unique shaped noses and the face-morph I have been using

does not allow further detailing of the female nose the way I would like to sculpt it (morph it). 

I have read about a DAZ-Tool (or some gizmo) that allows to use stuff that is made for females on males and vice-versa,

like clothes and perhaps some other stuff.

Perhaps morphs too?

 

By the way, the famous actress I am sculpting a face for is Sandra Bullock.  Look at her nose close up, look at the details. 

or for example Cate Blanchett, the fairy queen "Galadriel" from the film Lord Of The Rings. That is a unique nose.

Lots of details in them noses and very unique faces.

I am hesitant to say anything is impossible, but with the advent of the Genesis series of DAZ figures all morphs are loaded automatically with the figure and, to quote DAZ, "there are no user-facing files". In other words, there is no way to load the morphs manually. Even back before the Genesis series, when morphs could be loaded or "injected' into a figure after it was loaded, attempting to inject, for example, Michael 4 morphs into Victoria 4, would fail, with no indication that anything had even happened. So, again, although I am unable to say it is impossible, it would certainly require some very serious jiggery-pokery.

You can do this, but it's complicated. Look into Transfer Utility.

I have bought both of those RareStone Face Morph products too and the list of morphs is very long...your big worry would be clobbering your RareStone morphs for G8F if you transferred RareStone G8M morphs to G8F. Check the morph names used for G8F & G8M very carefully and skip ones that are the same name (and maybe their won't be any if every single one of the morphs is prefixed or suffixed with G8M and G8Fas appropriate.

well you can't do the HD ones and I have used V4 and M4 morphs on each other and K4, A4 and H4 so that is indeed possible

transfering morphs with GenX does not nessesarily mean expressions will load from dial up poses between the Genesis 1,2 and 3

Genesis 8 uses HD expressions and those only work on the figure they are for.

Since I only have the female package, I am curious as to what differences there are between the male and female packages in respect of the morphs for the nose. Since you have both, nonesuch, are there actually more morph sliders for the nose for the male package, or are there different ones compared to the female package?

All Generation 4 figures used the same base mesh, so the same morph deltas could be applied to all of them. You got different results on each figure since the base shape you applied the delta to was different, of course.

Genesis 2 also used the same base mesh for male and female figures, so you could get G2F morphs to work on G2M (or vice-versa) simply by copying the morph files under "data" from G2F morph subfolders to G2M morph subfolders.

However since Genesis 3 the male and female base meshes are different, so you have to convert the morphs between figures as you would do for G2F to G3F for example.
