[Some G8F Character Morphs do not work anymore].... and it all started today.

I have no clue what the cause could be.

I uninstalled what I recently purchased in the hope that would help, but it did not.

I hope someone can help.

    Please put your question in the post body and the title - Daz 3D Forums

    Not work how - are the sliders there but not working, or are they missing entirely? Or is this shape presets not working rather than sliders?

    All is good, they are working now.

    I was installing manually and also installed with Smart Content, and I guess that must have been the reason.

    I have also taken everything out that I had installed with DIM except Daz Studio itself and Starter Essentials.

    Well, I thought it was good, but once I re-started my PC it happened again.

    It is not for all characters, but some.

    I do not understand what is happening and how to fix it.

    I assume "installed with Smart Content" that you installs from inside Daz Studio, i.e. Daz Connect. If you have something installed with Connect, then what you do elsewhere (e.g. manual or DIM) doesn't matter as Connect has priority.

    If your troublesome characters are installed with Connect, you might try to uninstall there and see if it then works.

    When they are not working what are the answers to the questions in my previous post?

    Yes, I had used connect because I thought we had to do it, so I got rid of it all by uninstalled Daz Studio and all what was in App data/ roaming to make sure I get a clean new installation of Daz studio without things that had been installed with Connect.

    I only had Daz Studio itself installed with DIM.

    Furthermore, I much, prefer to install my purchases manually.

    I am sorry for not replying, I had thought the problem was solved.

    Sliders are there but not working as in not changing the shape and the shape presets do not work either.

    I looked under Shaping currently used and there is nothing that should not be there or would interfere.

    OK, that is very odd. Take a morph that has not, in the current session, had a non-zero value, set it to 100%, and - assuming it has no effect - go to Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File, scroll to the very end, and copy the last few lines (or anything relating to the morph) here.

    I am sorry for the late reply Richard Haseltine.

    Here is the log file after i tried to apply the character preset of Pei to G8F.

    I have now uninstalled and re-installed Daz Studio more times than I care to mention and upon opening the fresh installation all the morphs work, but when I close Studio down and open it again, they do not.

    So, it is saying it succeeded. What happens if you switch the Viewport Drawstyle, or do a quick render and then cancel? Or tweak the pose and then undo the change. I wonder if it's a display or geometry update thing.

     I do not really understand with changing poses or tweak the pose.

    It is the morphs that do not apply.

    I was thinking of forcing Daz Studio to update the current shape (which it derives from the base shape and the modifier stack, including joints and shapes).

    I am sorry, I still do not understand.

    I am not good with such things :( 

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 101,051

    If you bend the thumb, does the shape then change to reflect the morph? If so hit undo and see if the thumb bend goes but the shape stays.

    The really weird part is, once I re-install Daz Studio it works but as soon as I close Daz Studio and open it again, it does not.

    I thought the culprit might be the latest Windows update, so I deleted it, but it was not.

    All new purchases are installed in a separate  content folder on a different hard drive, so not sure what is going on.

    It is not all characters, but mainly the once from Rarestone, which is really weird indeed.

    I wonder if it would help to install all products via connect again, from within Studio. sigh

    You should stick to one method of installation at all times. Try this. Uninstall those products that do not work. Find Cloud Files for them and delete them. Reinstall your products using JUST ONE METHOD.

    I have uninstalled the Smart content files I had started to install and will manually uninstall those products that do not work and re-install.

    I will do that over the weekend, right now I need a break from this. lol.

    Thank you for your reply :)

    I noticed that the characters that do not work have a yellow banner over them saying Character, all others have either no banner or a  blue banner Actor. 

    I wonder if that could be the cause of the problem?

     

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 101,051

    So these are presets being applied, not sliders adjusted?

    Richard Haseltine said:

    Yes.

    They do have sliders too, but they do not work either. 

    I tried the thing with the thumb, that you suggested, but that did not do anything.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 101,051

    Are you sure you have any required products?

  • PetraPetra Posts: 1,154

    Yes I do have them.

    It is so weird that those morphs work once I uninstalled Daz Studio and reinstalled it.

    When I close Daz Studio  and then open it up again, they do not work again.

    Richard Haseltine said:

    I am trying for days now, I give up on this problem, everything else works fine.

     

  • PetraPetra Posts: 1,154

    I am not using Smart Content and I do not use Daz Connect, so I deleted the * My Daz Connect Library * and so I did not do it to solve the morph problem, it fixed it.

    I also saved a ton of space on my D Drive.

    Just glad I can use the Characters again.

    Strangely enough, they were the once from Rarestone only that had this problem.

    I am having this issue and I cannot seem to fix it after reading this thread.

    Well i didnt do anything manual installing, I always use the install manager . I bought 2 extra characters today and they wont loaded any face morphs , i can add tattoos and little body features from the materials that comes with that character . But the shape of the character will not how up neither will the face of that character , leaving me with a generic genesis character . I tried uninstalling the purchase n reinstalling... nothing worked ... i tried uninstalling daz and DIM ... nothing worked... and on top of that it missed handled n lost some of my other purchases when it was reinstalling the assets . This is very annoying and frustrating
