You could have added more detail by subdividing it a couple of times in Blender, sculpting detail, baking it (as a Normal map), and then returning it to base resolution before exporting it all back to DAZ. The preceding would NOT make a morph, but would/SHOULD give you a figure that you could then apply existing DAZ morphs to, while keeping the subd detail you added in Blender. _This is a question_
@@tomasistudios2618 You can always decimate it back to the base detail level. If the vert order gets messed up you can use "Transfer the vertex order" or some other addon
Excellent tutorial! This helped a lot. A couple of things: 1) The effect being less pronounced in Daz Studio, is that because we're applying lo-res morphs to a high-res model? 2) Does the fact you can save the morphs under a specific part of the body parts tree, also mean that you can make a separate body and head morph from one obj file? 3) Oh yeah, be careful around eyes... The eyeball (and its texture!) morph along with it.
1 yes the change is resolution is why the changes become less pronounced, 2 Yes you can save morphs separately, but only if you create them separately, if you make a ton of changes and import them into daz, and save them all of them will be on the same slider bar. I recommend making one change at a time, and import them 1 by one, I ill spend a whole day making different morphs and then mix and match them on a custom character, and yes eye morphs are bane of my daz existence.
Thank you for your tutorial. It works a lot better than another I have seen on the same topic. For one, yours didn't turn my figure inside out, LOL. However, I'm experiencing another problem. I'm using Blender 3.4. I When I import Genesis 8 and go to sculpt tab, she's not smooth, she's blocky (only in sculpt mode--smooth otherwise), I did everything exactly as I should have, as far as I can tell... but any ideas what maybe went wrong? I DID make sure to set her to base mesh. But her morph *seems* okay in DAZ, when I bring her back up to higher than base resolution. Still, I want to make sure I have the best possible resolution.
Yes, you first have to take a G8 or G9 model and export it to blender, and then first set it up Plus I would recommend Zbrush rather than blender Sculpting is done in Zbrush Well it's hard work any ways I have watched few video
I just scaled the head of the character to make a cartoon befoure export to blender... now when i import the morph it goes crazy. Is theres any way to make the resized model the new "base" so that the morph works?

hello this is so informative, Anyway I am having a trouble I am using Old to young face morp in daz but whenever i export my facemorp to blender the quality reduce and it doesnt show the exact quality and face morp that i did in daz3d can you show a tutorial on this please badly need this.
I do know when you make a morph in blender and daz you do loose a bit. Like some percent gets lost. I will look into it but for now. I should make 2 morphs from the same sorse. Give the. 2 different names the use both in the shaping tab
@@emmanm5633 Hi so I got home from work and I was able to double up on the morph. First go through the hole prosses I show in the video then install the same morph under a different name. Once they are both installed take the first morph 100% then double up on the morph 2 until it looks like what you want
Hey Sir, I have done exact ly same thing that you have showed, but still when I loaded the morph in Daz studio it showed distorted figure that you have showed at the 1.33 minutes in your video.I don't know why this happened, can you help me out sir. I'm using Daz studio version 4.21 pro and Blender version 3.2.2
I think you forgot to convert your resolution.... By default it sets to High resolution but you need to select the base resolution options before sending it to blender... You will find that option in Mesh resolution options under the parameters tab
And that, dear internet, is how you make a tutorial. Short, quick and to the point.
Boy, do I know what you mean.

1:27 legit made me jump, i almost shit my heart out HAHA
I would like to suggest you also use shape keys in Blender to allow you to mix, turn off , lower the morphs you create before you export them.
I have looked a long time for this. Thanks.
I hope it helps you out
i love how you did the "AHH KILL IT! Kill IT WITH FIRE" Thing! do more

when you export from daz did you set the scale to 1%
same problem and it has nothing to do with scale
Is it possible to sculpt a head from scratch in blender and apply it to a genesis 8 or 9 figure in daz?
Yes, you first have to take a G8 or G9 model and export it to blender, and then first set it up
Plus I would recommend Zbrush rather than blender
Sculpting is done in Zbrush
Well it's hard work any ways
I have watched few video
Please advise, which morph set for Nose are you using.... SY..? I need to buy it on day, how to find? Thanks a lot

I just scaled the head of the character to make a cartoon befoure export to blender... now when i import the morph it goes crazy. Is theres any way to make the resized model the new "base" so that the morph works?
when importing into blender did you remember to click on geometry and keep vert order?

I tried this and the whole body changes and now just the face or breasts like I wanted. how do I fix that?
did you start with an unchanged Gen character? or did you make some changes before importing into blender?
@@tomasistudios2618 changed model, but I fixed it using a character splitter script
I smashed the buttons so hard! I need to learn to make hair! It’s so expensive to buy them 😭😭 especially the hair is there a way too?
Is it possible to alter only a cutout part of model in blender or do you need whole model to create new morph?
If you change the number of polygons there most likely get an error
@tomasistudios2618 thank you
Thanks, this help me a lot.
Glad it worked for you
well, this worked better than the blender bridge method
