Interesting. This is definitely not the behavior I am seeing (though I don't have Christine or Melody hair). For those hairs, if you change the path to under head, does that help?
Well... I managed to move the morphs of the original file so they come out in DAZ under "head" instead of the "neck", Converted this one - and it worked ! Morphs are transferred and perfectly visible and they work as they should. I'm not a computer guy and sure these things are way more complicated but I have the feeling that the converter sometimes doesn't know where to show the transferred morphs. The only converter child is "head" and if the original was placed somewhere else (neck) the morphs come out hidden, Or are not transferred at all if it was a hr2 file. I suppose in the end it is just one checked box somewhere in DAZ Studio that will make everything work just fine.
What do you mean by moving the morphs? In the actual file library, or in edit mode within DAZ? I'd like to give this a try, but not sure what I'd be trying. Thanks!!
Edited to add, I'd appreciate a step-by-step, because I tried the Edit Mode thing, resaved the hair, but then it wouldn't convert the new hair at all, so I'm at a loss for now. Thanks in advance!
Interesting that it worked. Could you detail what you did for others?
Thank you for sharing. You shouldn't have had to set head to visible as the script does that during conversion (otherwise, conversions have this weird "ring" hair like a tonsure where only the hair below the head would show)
With the Caleb hair, after backing it up, I edited the hr2 file so that Characters, MoveStyle, and Fitting would all fall under Actor. I opened it up, and made sure all the morphs showed up under Actor. But after converting it, it was gone again. I do have Show Hidden Properties turned on. But for some reason, these morphs just aren't transferring for me. Does anyone else have Caleb Hair or other AprilYSH V4 hairs that they can test out? Thanks so much.
Edited to note that it seems that at least for zzspriest, no hr2 files are getting their morphs transferred either.
I do not know why it is not working for you all. Until I can reproduce it, I can't fix it
What version of DAZ Studio are you using?
I wish I could duplicate your conditions! I tried across two computers and 4.10, current 4.11, and current 4.11 beta, all to no avail. But it clearly worked on your computer!
I am using v4.11.0.383. What is the full log saying when you try to convert a .hr2 file?
I attached a log in a prior post (the AprilYSH hairs are hr2 files), but you indicated that you didn't see anything too different when compared to your log.
Doh... I am thrashing around trying to solve this
Thank you for your efforts!!
Any news on a M4 → G8M hair converter?
It is happening. V4->G8F sales were disappointing so we both needed to do other products first.
I hope this'll have better than normal longevity via poser switchers etc. I'm going through the older generations, picking up stuff I need and then grabbing the relevant converters, this one included, when I have a suitable library.
Hopefully!
Thank you for your support.
There is an update live in the store. Here are the list of changes:
BTW, @missuskisses and @zzspriest, the converting props to figure item fixes the missing morphs issue on my system.
Disappointing!??? I just discovered it and it's Instant-In-My-Cart. I've got SO many hair products for V4, I can't wait to use them again.
But i have a question about the converters in general - I was just playing around with G3F to G8F converter. I don't use Smart Content, just the old school Content Library (long story and 3 trashed content libraries). When it finished, it had only put the hair itself in the G8F folder. The PDF says it will copy all the duf files, except those that aren't hair files, which has me confused. Technically, material files conflict this statement. They are duf files but they aren't hair (object) files. Do I need to copy the materials manually if I want them to show up in the Content Library under G8F?
EDIT: I just tried to convert materials and it said "No new hair files found", so I guess "manually" is the answer.
@sandman_max yup just copy manually the material files and stick them into the hair folder ,the exception will be V4-G8 cause the V4 hair materials are for the most part Poser format, so will have to be resaved as a duf file
Ooh! Thanks for the heads-up on the V4 MAT files. I would have stuck them in the Poser folders and never thought about saving them as dufs. That will be a big help! Maybe even Iray them up front while I'm at it.
yeah it makes them so much easier to find when they are right there with the hair , I use 3DL ,but I also tend to use hair shaders alot
Yes, if you are not using Smart Content and want the materials nearby, you will have to copy them.
Thank you again @carrie58!
@RiverSoftArt Glad to help when I can
OMG thank you thank you thank you! And really looking forward to the M4 version.
Edited to add: This is why you can't go wrong buying Riversoft products. I always know that if there are any issues, they will be addressed!
You're welcome! Please let me know if the issue is fixed on your system as well.
So far, so good--looks like the issue is fixed for me! What is the morph name for the:
And/or where can I find this morph?
Thank you again!
Great! I am glad it seems to be fixed.
The morph name is Head Size Correction
Thanks so much for this converter. I even had sucess with my very favorite V3 hairs by Aprilysh!
