Script that Creates a List of all Morphs used on a Character

Does anyone know if there is a script for Daz Studio that creates a list of all the morphs used on a character with their respective values and allows them to either be displayed on screen or saved to a file?
cheers,
Martha

     Select the character, go to the Parameters tab, click Currently Used near the top of the tab, and you will be shown exactly what you seek, dear Martha.

    In addition to what xyer0 said, if you want to also be able to see the corrective morphs and all the "under the hood" morphs you'll also need to go to the "hamburger menu" (lines with an arrow - see attached image) >> Preferences >> and check "Show Hidden Properties". Then select "Currently Used" in the Parameters tab and it will show all the morphs, correctives, and everything that the character is currently utilizing.

    Thank you very much, xyer0 and 3Diva, for the prompt response. Indeed, that is the easiest way to see the morphs being used, but I think I didn’t explain myself well. What I’m looking for is a script that shows a list of all the morphs and their respective values as plain text. Whether it’s in the console or written to a text file, the idea is to easily export that list later to Excel, Word, or any other application. Is that possible?

    Cheers,
    Martha

    You could use this, tweaking it to report only those with a non-zero value (or scale properties with a value other than 1) http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/properties/node_properties/start

    Thanks a lot, Richard. I'll see if I can adapt it. I appreciate it!

    This is old (2016) but still works:

    https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/87636/a-script-to-control-a-selected-property-with-large-font-size-and-preview-buttons#latest

    To use:

    1.  Download the PropertyController.dsa script that is attached to that post, and save it e.g. somewhere in your DAZ Studio Content Scripts folders.
    2.  Load a Figure and apply Poses and Morphs.
    3.  With the Figure selected, launch this PropertyController.dsa script.
    4. Activate the "Utilities" tab.
    5.  Click the "List Non-Zero Morphs" or "List Non-Zero Transforms" button.
    6.  After the process has completed, the results will  appear in a NotePad window (if you have a Windows PC, else ??? on a Mac), where you can inspect/edit them and Save them to a disk file.

    The "List Morphs" facility works on anything that has Morphs - so any DAZ Figure, Animals, etc.

    The "List Transforms" facility works on anything that has Bones - so any DAZ Figure, Animals, Vehicles, etc.

    The script is in .dsa source code form, so you can modify it to suit yourself.

    Thanks a lot, Praxis!

    It works like a charm. This is a great script with some fantastic additional features! Thank you so much for sharing it!

    I do have one question: I noticed that it organizes the morphs in a different order compared to how they appear in 'Currently Used Morphs' within Daz Studio. What criteria does the script use to sort the list of morphs?

    Again, thanks a lot!!! I appreciate it!!

    Glad you like it!

    The script just dumps the Morph information in the order that DAZ Studio holds it internally, i.e. as returned by the DzObject::getModifier() function on line # 607 of the script..

    Somebody (not me devil) could modify the script near line # 623 to get oValChan.getPath() and output that as well, and/or use that to organize the output into Path order (as presented in the DAZ Studio display).  Hope that helps.

    We need more scripters in the Daz3D community (we have a handful but not many, and I'm rubbish at scripting lol), so I'm excited to check out your work! Do you have other scripts that you've shared?

    Hello, Praxis,

    I have been adapting the functionality to a new script, and so far, I have managed to scan the list of active morphs and display them in the same order that DAZ Studio shows them in the 'currently used morphs' section. I save the table with the morphs and their respective values to a temporary file, but when I try to open Notepad automatically with the file I created, I can't get it to work. No matter how much I review that functionality in your code, I can't understand how it works. Do you have any tips on how I can open the temporary file with the morphs directly in Notepad from the script?

    Thank you in advance for all your help and for sharing your script,
    Martha

    What is the filename of your temporary file?

    In a standard Windows setup, the file must have a .txt file extension in order to be automatically associated with NotePad.

    See line #s 875 and 146 to 150 in my original .dsa script file.

    If you are already using a .txt extension, then the problem would be in your Windows file associations setup, which unfortunately I don't know how to fix.

    Hope that helps.
