  • This https://www.daz3d.com/ball-and-chain ? I do't have it, but it says it uses EZpose so if you sekect a link bone (in the Scene pane or by clicking on it in the Viewport) theer shold be a set of cotnrols that will cause all of the subsequent links to move - usually BendAft, Side to Side Aft, and twist Aft at least but often there will also be S bend options and others. To use it one wold work along the chain from root to end, posing the following sections a needed to get the desired effect.

    With G8M selected in the scene, Parameters tab -> Pose Controls -> Head -> Mouth. These are basic morphs and expressions included in Starter Essentials.

    The base G8 expression have been disabled for G8.1 by default, which also means any and all G8 expressions that are using those base expressions, do not work inspite of the expression dial appearing on the G8.1

    Making the G8 base expressions (and any expressions that are using them) work on G8.1 requires removing dummy/placeholder expressions that are installed to G8.1 morph folders - These dummy/placeholder expression files have no other function than to prevent the base G8 expressions from loading. 

    The dummy/placeholder files are located in;

    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\ (255 files)
    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\ (24 files)
    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\ (255 files)
    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\ (24 files)

    Please make sure you are removing the files from G8.1 morph folders and not G8 morph folders.

    These dummy/placeholder files are reinstalled every time the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials is reinstalled/updated.
