Copying Bones from Genesis 8 Figure to OBJ import

karlsfriend_f7ccaca9e2

I tried importing it as a morph but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  It only make the character bigger or smaller when I try to adjust it.  In the past I copied the bones from the base male to the obj file.  Stupidly, I did not save the steps to do it.

Any help would be appreciated.  I've tried using the transfer utility and it doesn't seem to be working.

Thank you so much to the community for all your help!

I am using transfer rigging frequently without issues.

What are you trying to to, and what is your process?

I created a character in Blender.  I built it based on the Genesis 8 Character.  I exported it as an OBJ file from Blender.  Maybe I'm doing it wrong.  I've followed a couple of tutorials but I must be doing it wrong.

I load a base genesis 8 character.  Then I imported my obj file.  I tried to use the transfer program. but it didn't do anything.

I'm pretty sure I did it wrong, but I don't know.

Screenshot your settings in the Transfer Utility dialogue.

If you are creating a character, you shouldn't use transfer rigging. For that you should morph loader pro, as you want it as a morph of the base character.

Transfer rigging is usually for clothing or similar, where you want the object to have the same rigging as the character.

If you want it as a stand alone character, you could use transfer rigging to get the same bone structure, but transfer rigging is based on a donor, and if the target is significantly different from the source your rigging will be off.

When you say you're building a character based on G8, do you mean you built a 3D model and want to make it a morph for G8. I think more infomation would be very useful here.

Wow!  Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.  Thank you again.

Also bear in mind that daz allows the use of its rigging for add-ions (clothes, hair, etc.) but not for a stand-alone figure which would potentially be a competing item rather than an add-on.

Maybe I have this wrong.  I don't know.  What I really want to create is a morph.  I think I must be importing something wrong or the way I exported it from blender was the issue.  I purposely used the Gen 8 character but when I create the morph it only succeeds in make the base gen 8 character bigger (scales it up) but doesn't change anything.  Here's the .obj file.  Does anyone else have any success with it?

Is this what he is supposed to look like?

I imported as a morph for G8M.

Edit: I realised that your problem is that you imported it in wrong scale.

In morph loader pro, you has to make sure it imports as 10000%. (Blender unit 1 m, Daz Studio unit 1 cm)

Attachment removed - please do not redistribute the geometry of Daz (or other non-open source) content.

The important thing is to make sure that thee xport and import settings tally, if you go through OBJ - there are various presets in the import/export dialogues, make sure you use the same one in both directions.

HOLY CRAP!  That's it exactly.  I feel so stupid now.  That would explain why the slider only made it bigger or smaller.  I really appreciate it.

Sorry about that.  I get it.    I really just wanted to see if I was doing something wrong.  This character is someone that I'm using for a personal project.

Thank you for letting me know.
