If you want to use G9, then I believe you need 4.21
Wrong, am using Genesis 9 on DAZ Studio 4.10. Only thing affected is the PBR textures when you load Genesis 9, maybe other things but am happily using 4.10
Warning message about PBR
Skin added
I Stand Corrected. Thanks
You're welcome !!! Officially DAZ Studio 4.21 was being pushed but G9 works okay on the lower versions.

Some features do require newer versions of DS (and it would be 4.20.x.x, not 4.2 - these are not decimals)
That's pretty interesting, considering that it (apparently) takes at least 4.15 to load the full 8.1 character morphs in DS. At least, that is my experience in 4.12. The base genesis figure loads, and there is a slider for the character in the parameters tab, but the slider doesn't work.
Genesis 8.1 definately had problems with Morphs in DAZ Studio 4.10
Genesis 9 has had all morphs working so far that I have tried.
A Horny G9

Dragon Warrior Poses for the Dragovinian - https://www.daz3d.com/dragon-warrior-poses-for-the-dragovinian
Both of these had a few issues in Carrara
First of all it needs freebie Misty's preset - https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/88523/carrara-presets-for-genesis-81
For the Dragovinian install when the data file is loaded it has the morph set at 1 when it should be 0, so the data file needs to be adjusted otherwise the Genesis 8.1 figure will load with Dragovinian fully on. Edit - Joe has issued an update
Dragovinian for Ravager Parasite has Horns/Teeth and a Tail that need to be converted to blended weight in DAZ Studio.
When the material file DUF is used it will come up with a Warning notice and then figure not found, so you will need to save the DUF files as Material Presets in DAZ Studio.
Dragon Warrior Poses - when the poses are applied they come up with an error message, poses will need to be saved as Pose Presets in DAZ Studio
When the blended weight horns/teeth are applied to the default pose they look to be in the correct spot, after the figure has been posed the horns/teeth are skewif from the correct position. Will need to be rotated/moved to match the pose position. EDIT - When I applied the HD Morph to the figure I was getting the Horns/Teeth skewif when posed, found a fix, when you export the obj of the figure for the HD Morph include the Horns/Teeth, poses work if they are included in this step !!!
Dragovinian for Ravager Parasite - has detail subdivision in DAZ Studio set to 2, when opened in Carrara it defaults to one, losing some of the default detail. I used Philemos excellent HD Morph plugin to bring in Level 2 subdivision. Note don't use Level 4 as I got an obj file larger than 700MB which refused to import into Carrara on my computer.
Also when the HD Morph is applied to the figure and poses where applied some severe distortion was occurring to the figure.
Apply the HD Morph after you apply the Material and Horns/Teeth to the figure.

DH3 update still not working..
stuffs up in DS when weight map converted
My update worked, but the blended weight issue not working on the bones is still a problem.
Edit - just checked DAZ Studio again and the blended weight conversion has caused a recessed tail on the horse !!!
Everybody's talking Genesis9 and I have a V4 question. I must be terribly antiquate :-)
I bought Aikaterine V4 by FWArt & -renapd- from Rendo. Body morphs do work, while face morph has no effect at all. I think body morphs are just normal dialed morphs while face is custom and was made, I read, with a tool by 3D Universe.
But Aikaterine works properly in Daz Studio loading her from the same runtime used by Carrara.
Anyone experienced the same? Thank you.
Hello therixx
I don't have that item, but on other figures when the morphs don't work in Carrara I save as either a character preset or a scene subset in DAZ Studio, then open that file in Carrara.
Have had problems with the Furballs item which I will do a workaround for after some more tests.
https://www.daz3d.com/gumdrops-cupcake
https://www.daz3d.com/furballs-for-cupcake
Problem using the Furballs morphs in Carrara
1. Loaded the Furballs figure into Carrara, tried applying the Furball Faces morphs to the figure - nothing happened.
2. Tried applying a Body morph to figure, it worked.
3. Loaded the Furballs Tail figure into Carrara, tried applying the Furball Tails morphs to the figure - nothing happened.
4. Opened the Furball figure & tail in DAZ Studio, applied morphs - everything worked.
5. In DAZ Studio tried saving as a Character preset - Got Selection Error message "You must select a TriAx Weight Mapped figure in the scene to save a Character Preset."
6. In DAZ Studio tried saving as a Scene Subset - it worked.
7. Opened the Scene Subset file in Carrara - Face morph worked but lost the Body morphs, also Tail morph was lost.
8. In DAZ Studio tried exporting as a Poser CR2 file.
9. Opened the CR2 file in Carrara, problem in that only one item out of the Figure and Tail was being exported, otherwise the item that opened was working. Requires two exports to get the Figure and the Tail.
EDIT : Just tried some M4 poses and they worked !!!
Thank you @Bunyip02, I think I tried the DS4 Character export with no success, but I didn't try your other suggestions. I'll try to play a bit with them and post here the outcome as soon as I can. :-)
Sherilynn, by Mousso. This is a Genesis 8 Female figure but I applied her to G8.1F via the Gemini preset by Misty. G8.1F does not work in Carrara by default, so the Character and all the attatchments were exported out of DS4.21 into a new folder as Figure/Prop Assets. Make sure to set to base Res. and zero subd.and convert to Blended Weight before export. The fiber Pubes, Brows and PeachFuzz take forever to load (projecting morphs), but they do load and conform as expected.
Nice work !!!
Hell Baron for Ravager Parasite for Genesis 8.1 Male - https://www.daz3d.com/hell-baron-for-ravager-parasite-for-genesis-81-male
When I loaded Misty's preset into Carrara, then looked at the Parameters tab to find the morph it was missing !
Checked in DAZ Studio and there was a dialable morph setting for it.
Closed down/opened Carrara a couple of times and reloaded Misty's preset each time - no joy .....
Decided to make a base morph of the character in DAZ Studio, which I did.
Then reopened Carrara and loaded Misty's preset, checked the Parameters for the morphs and presto the created morph was available !!!
That's generally what happens, using the Misty presets, you only get to see the Head morphs, none of the body morphs show up. That is why I create a duplicate folder structure and after converting to blended weight I Save As...Support Asset...Figure/Prop Asset into your newly created folder. Then load that into Carrara and you should have all the head and body parameter dials. At least that's the way it works for me.
Edit to add.... this happens with G8.1 only. G8 works normally with Misty's preset
The Support Asset trick worked for bringing in all of the morphs I had for G8.1. However the HellBaron morph is still missing in action apart from the morph that I created for it.
Another asset to be used, although I am starting to favour G9 now that I can transfer morphs across !!!
Hi @Bunyip02 thank you for all the suggestions but I just cannot export Aikaterine in any way.
I always end up with the naked skeleton and nothing else, like in other cases. Never understood why this happens when Carrara tries to open a .duf file.
Maybe it's me but the DS4 poser export does not seem to write files anywhere...
Only working option is Collada export: this takes Aikaterine mesh in Carrara with movable bones, but this is not a V4 anymore (body snatchers?) so does not take poses morphs, parameters, etc.
Guess I'll give up... unless Poser 9 (which I own) has some way to get around the problem
can you export her as an obj in DAZ studio and load her in as a morph, you should be able to reuse the slot allocated to her in the vertex room
or create a new morph in DAZ studio with morphloader
if keen use ExP exporter to create deltas to inject and remove
I have Poser 11.
Have you tried applying the morph in Poser, then saving as a CR2 figure ?
After applying the morph file in the Pose room
Step 1 - Make sure you have clicked on the Figures room
Step 2 - Click on the + icon to save the figure.
Morphed Poser file next to stock V4
Hi Bunyip02, Wendy and all. Thank you for the suggestions.
Actually Poser9 saved the day, it seems.
Open poser, load V4, apply the character, save the poser scene.
I never thought this would work because I could not do it with DS and a .duf scene (as I said before, when I try that with a figure and open in Carrara I end up with the bones/skeleton and nothing else).
Well, Carrara opened the Poser .pz3 scene without issues and from there I could handle Aikaterine as if she were loaded from the Carrara runtimes browser. Similar to what you suggested.
It seems that the character takes morphs, poses, clothes. I could not do all my tests yet, but apparently it works properly.
I'll go on with my experiments with this and other models and if something interesting comes out I will share it here...
By the way, Aikaterine wants to greet you in the attached picture (but do not trust her too much: as you can see, she comes with vampire options)
Hello Therixx - glad you found a method that works !!!
Thank you Bunyip02, I'll keep experimenting. Maybe I'll find out some other tip that could be useful not only to myself.
Ah, by the way, I see from you and Headwax that "Arch Cove" does not work properly even if it has a Carrara Version.
Pity, I was going to get it, but not being able to move stuff with the move tool in it is a NO to me.
I have Valle Alpina but I could not even try what Wendy says as my computer cannot handle the weight of the scene properly. Strange behaviours. But I believe in what Wendy says, of course.

Needs converting to Blended Weight in DAZ Studio
In Carrara the Parameter Dials don't work so you will have to individually select items in the Instances tab for the scene and rotate them.
Legs have a piston arrangement that does not work when rotated, you will have to manually select the piston components and rotate to suit the movement.

Also glass, lights, fire need some shader work.
I do not own EES, but It looks like the product contains options for Poser, 3DLight, Iray. No one renders correctly?
