No Fine DetailsĪ morph should be used to make modifications to the body shape rather than fine details. Using a Subdivision surface modifier is fine provided you use disable it before export or make sure to de-select ‘apply modifiers’ when exporting back to OBJ. Doing so will cause the morph to fail when you try to use it in Daz Studio. When creating morphs you cannot add or subtract from the base mesh. This basically means that Blender will move the vertices inside your circle of influence to prevent undesirable lumps and bumps from appearing.
Proportional edit mode will move de-selected vertices in relation to the selected vertex using the pre-selected falloff method. However making edits while avoiding making lumps/creases can be problematic on complex meshes. In Blender one of the best ways to make a morph is using ‘Edit Mode’ to move vertices around. This will help make things look smoother which is helpful for organic modelling. You can open that by pressing ‘t’ while you are over the 3D Viewport. Smooth ShadingĮnable smooth shading using the ‘Smooth’ button under the toolshelf. If you find things are running slow while editing your mesh, just drop the SubDivision levels down to a more manageable number and push it up when you want a preview. Base import (Left) | Subdivision Modifer at 3 Subdivisions (Right) You will normally want to use 2 – 3 Subdivisions to match what Daz will render. Before you even start to create your morph put a SubD modifier on your mesh. The subdivision surface modifier is your friend. I can’t really make a detailed guide for this section as it depends on the morph you wish to make, however I can give you some tips. If you find the grid useful you can increase the scale in the ‘Display’ options, those are found by pressing ‘n’ while over the 3D Viewport. Genesis will be gigantic in Blender due to the unit scale difference.
If you see something like the image below, congratulations, you’ve successfully imported the Genesis base mesh into Blender. Pressing the ‘period’ (decimal point) key on your number pad will focus Genesis in the Viewport, which is helpful after importing. Everything else should be fine at their defaults. During the import it is important to make sure ‘Keep Vert Order’ is selected. In Blender that is via the Import Wavefront OBJ option. Most instructions should be interchangable between programs.įirst up, load your base mesh into your program.
Daz studio create morph free#
If you are familiar with another application like 3DS Max, Cinema 4D or Maya then feel free to use what you know. A great start is Blender Guru’s awesome Doughnut based video tutorials. With that I will not be going through every command or step in Blender so I recommend at least a minor working knowledge of Blender. Blender is an immensely powerful program but can be very daunting to use. If you’ve never used a 3D modelling application before I would suggest Blender as a great free way to get started. I will be using Blender for this section. You can get the Developer Kit for Genesis 8 free as part of the ‘Genesis 8 Starter Essentials’ from Daz.Įverything visible in the scene will be exported so disable visibility on anything else in the scene. I have previously had issues with exporting Genesis 8 in the way used for Genesis 3 so I always advise this method if possible. Run the ‘Export Base Resolution OBJ’ script and save as normal.In your library under ‘Genesis 8 Female’ go to the ‘Developer Kit’.This is the version named ‘Genesis 8 Male/Female’. Go to ‘File’ -> ‘Export’ and save as an OBJ.Also change ‘SubDivision Level’ to 0 to be safe.In ‘Parameters’ under ‘General’ change ‘Resolution Level’ to ‘Base’.This is the version named ‘Genesis 3 Male/Female’. I’ll put instructions for both Genesis 3 and 8 here even though we will be actually be working on Gen 8. Getting The Base Meshįirst up we need a base mesh to work on. I will be working with Genesis 8 here, but you can apply most of this to Genesis 3 too.
