I rarely use such hairs myself, I prefer ones on hair caps but doing my own I often paint on the mesh but know those hair are figure specific and often subdivision specific
Right - speaking of Subdivision Smoothing...
Changing SubD levels (Smoothing, like on Genesis, etc.,) after hair is made with not be pretty. Make sure you build your hair after setting the SubD Smoothing how you want your figure to be, and then leave it. If I remember correctly, even just changing the render level smoothing will wreck your hair. just be warned!
that varies, some you can others you cannot, I think if it was painted on the higher subdivision you cannot but I have changed render subdivision on some and it was OK, hiding parts will break it too
Yeah... come to think of it, I think that happened to me when I was using the duf conforming haircap for Genesis.
oh yeah changing subdivision on hair caps would be the same
hiding the whole object in the assemble is ok but hiding parts of it isn't
well the lilfox puma doesn't have geografts or rigid groups.
it' setup really weird with the hip/pelvis/ and body center. poor carrara trying to deal with it.
couple years ago i had a working sixus krampus, now i can't remember how i fixed it. frustrating morning.
think is a good day to order a pizza for lunch

poor carrara
how to make sense of this,
usually the #link matches the internal id
Anyone tried this critter in Carrara?

Hoping it can be used without the HD part.
If you get that lovely fellow working in Carrara, I would love to know about it!
You are an angel for trying
I really thought it was just me doing missing something obvious and being stupid. I spent another day at it too, but zilch. I learn so much when you poke at the things thank you!
Works well, if using the skin you need to load an eyelash in the alpha & a transperancy shader in the eye moisture.
Awesome Bunyip, thanks!
Almost forgot to ask. Are you using Misty's preset with this?
he would be otherwise it wouldn't load
G3F, G3M, G8F, & G8M all need Misty's presets to work - thanks once again Misty !!!
I appreciate the enthusiasm for Misty's preset, and I plan on trying it soon. It is undoubtedly the best solution. However, I have loaded 2 different G3 products into Carrara so far, and they both work fine (in DS, convert to blended weight and export to collada). They lack morph controls, but pose controls work, as does morphing in the vertex modeler. I mainly wanted access to G3 texture maps, which are very realistic. Sometimes it is fun to go for realism. My experience so far is, a lot of the IRAY hype with G3 is really more about the quality of those skin maps, because those same maps give the artist just as good or even better results in Carrara.
edited to include blended and collada info
what specific products did you manage to load into Carrara may I ask?
Clothing will work if no foot bones and converted to blended weight, most hair will too
but I have never gotten G3M or F in via duf
you can by other means such as collada with limitations
In the Challenge thread, I gave the details. Nothing new. Started with blended weight in DS, and exported via Collada.
What are the main limitations with G3 that people are finding? Maybe I have them as well, but simply haven't discovered them yet.
now aniblock importer has started crashing Carrara for me, possibly after the last windows 10 update
I went through all my extensions and that was the culprit
If that truly is the case, download it again and re-install. Mine is working overtime every day without a glitch, and I'm fairly certain that my Win 10 is up to date (just updated).
I must add, however, that with Windows 10, I unplug my network cable (internet) whenever I'm not specifically needing to access the internet. I've been having bizarre crashes or just odd sluggish performance at kinda random times working in Carrara. I don't think it's Carrara since it never seems to happen if I'm not plugged in.
Just FYI: V4 for Genesis 2 Female does work for applying V4 UV mapping to G2F in Carrara.
It comes with V4 clones, which brings up V4 in the Auto-fit dialog in Carrara, but I haven't been gettiung proper fitting that way. I haven't tried fitting first in Daz Studio since I don't have a version of my character in DS form. But that might work as an option.
there is another product for V4 UV https://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-for-genesis-2-female you need to manually do maps in Carrara after loading it
I fit clothes in DAZ studio and save as support asset
Yup. That's what I bought. Just double-click the Material preset file to get V4 UVs on G2F. It comes with fitting clones too.
Thanks for the know-how. I'll try that. I tried fitting G2F clothes to Genesis in DS (which worked well) and saved as separate support assets, but they don't fit to Genesis in Carrara afterward. Maybe I saved them wrong(?).
they need to be a figure asset not a scene subset
also do the UV and materials in DS and save as a character preset
I thought that too, but I read somewhere (Carrara store page?) recently that applying a character preset to another in Carrara will transfer the proper UV mapping as well - so I tried it and it works!!!
So I could load Victoria 6 and apply Aiko 6 to get Aiko's maps, for example. Right in Carrara!!!
yes those are character presets, what I meant is you save your V4 UV ones as well in DS to do the same thing
Right, I know. But the product comes with one already: My Daz3d Library > People > Genesis 2 Female > Materials > Victoria 4
There's one file in there to add the UVs to G2F
so you said it's not working for you?
looks like dragonling is gonna need the HD plug-in https://www.daz3d.com/da-dragonling-hd-for-daz-dragon-3
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/65485/file_list
Dragonling HD.dhdm
but the eye morphs are dsf
MCMDADEyesCloseLeft.dsf
and the displacement maps will need the phong plug-in
looks like will need only the 1 morph converted
i feel like leaving my coffee mug next to my monitor is a catastrophy waiting to happen
No. That part works great. Auto-fit in Carrara for G2F doesn't work properly even with the V4 clone. It doesn't work for Genesis clothes on G2F either, because Carrara doesn't recognize that it's for a different generation of figure, so we never see the dialog for select what the product is and who it was made for.
think someone posted the hivewire dog doesn't need weight conversion?
