Sooo I bought Koji and found out that he came pretty "naked" in the Morph department. Aha! He looks like James, bodywise, I thought, so I used morph manager to transfer all James' body morphs over to Koji. Then I set up the three full body morphs and they work. Sorta. Because... the chest and shoulder/collar parts won't morph. And I don't know why. It looks to me like they have the exact same bodt, and since both the arms and the neck/abdomen morphs work it can't be because they're cut differently, in that case I'd expect NONE of the morphs to work... SO... Any ideas as to how I can get the chest bit working too? What to look for? What to alter? This looks stupid *G*

Oh and... Has anybody heard anything of WHEN Koji will work in the Face Room? And why he comes without FaceRoom support in the first place?!

I think this is caused efrontier modified obj for US version. Jpapanese version Koji can use James's FBMs.

In the image, left side is Koji-JP and right side is Koji-US, and I transfer FBMs from James using MorphManager. (I also made FBM for neck using magnet.)

:o( Well that sucks! I hope they fix that, whatever it is! AND make him face room compatible soon!

I'm confused. Why screw up -- er, modify -- something that works right in the first place? I was planning to get Koji while he's cheap but not in this condition. :-(

Those are James' morphs that look screwed up. They transferred them from James to Koji with Morph Manager.

Yes, but if the Japanese version works with James' morphs why the modification in the American one? Why did they "fix" what ain't broke, that's what I'm wondering?

Exactely! If there IS a version that works with James' morphs then why mess that up? I expect it to be an accident, of course, but still. And we HAVE to transfer James' morphs to Koji, as he comes with absolutely NO body morphs whatsoever. And that DOES include the one that could make a certain part of him raise to the occasion.

Maybe they just thought it looked better. They seemed concerned with making sure James' clothing still fit, but probably didn't think about the morphs. Transferring morphs is probably not something the average Poser user does, anyway.

Bet they (or someone) will be selling head and body morph packs for Koji. Eventually.

But the morphs DO work. Just not on the chest and shoulders. And I'm SURE that the Japanese Koji can also use James' clothes. That's not the point. The point is that someone screwed up when the bodyparts was translated (my guess) so that while most of the morphs work, there are a few that doesn't. Hmm but this gives me an idea though. I'll be back once I've tried it...

Well.. I'm stumped. The "good idea" I thought I'd got was to simply steal James' cr2 and point that towards Koji's obj. And then of course transfer Koji's facemorphs instead of James' own as they weren't likely to work properly. But!. The. Goddamn. Chest/shoulders. STILL. don't. work! WHY can't we just have the japanese Koji? Why make 2 different figures in the first place?!

If you go to the chest/shoulders and apply the morphs for the body parts manually, do they work? If so, it could just be something named wrong in the .cr2 file which is pretty easy to fix.

Have you tried exporting each particular body morph from James as an OBJ file and then loading the morphs to Koji that way? Yeah it takes more time but sounds to me like it would be more accurately loaded to the new figure.

Nevermind I se eyou can't export full body morphs that way. Another question though, Is Koji based on standard James or James Hi Res?

Mizrael I copied morphs from James Hi Rez.

I was about to buy when all this unsold me. No Face Room support? No morphs? Basically just a morph pack for James? $29? When I can get a Dodger mod for $10? No thanks. M

mickmca.. not even a morph pack for James. Just a new head. And yes, the body is a tiny bit slimmer than James' but not enough to notice IMO. You DO get new clothes and 5 new hairdos though. And as male clothes and hair is always in demand (at least to me) that bit was worth it. I feel confident that the face room support will come soon!

Dodger has a James mod? Where?

Yes, they are working on the Face Room module. It will be a free update, as Miki's was.

It's worth it to me, because I need ethnic figures. DAZ's figures have ethnic morphs, but that's not the same as being ethnic figures. Miki and Koji were designed to be Asian from the beginning, and it shows.

And I love their expressiveness. The best expression morphs I've ever seen.

If you don't need Asian figures, then Miki and Koji are not for you. Don't think you're going to morph them into looking European; there's really no point in that. I doubt morphing them to look European would work any better than morphing Mike and Vicky to look Asian does.

Koji could use a few more morphs. I am hoping RDNA does a morph pack, as they have for Miki.

Any news on Morphs for Koji or news on transfering Jame's morphs successfully to the American version of Koji?

Not that I've heard at least :o( Still no face room available for him either. But it seems someone's working on a face room module for Apollo Maximus.. now if only they'd fix their OWN characters too...

Well I exported Jame's Erection as a Morph Target using Poser 6's OBJ Export feature and it loaded onto Koji just fine so at least he's that much more of a functional character now. I'd post a pic but I'd get kicked!

Hehe that mprph was the first one I exported too. I wonder why they didn't equip him with that one from the beginning? Sure it's fairly easy to transfer James' morph to him, but why leave it in the first place? Besides you know another site where you're welcome to post it ;o)

LOL Yeah I know but people here have a right to know which morphs are available even if they aren't allowed to look. ;) I'm trying to do the same thing with Jame's Endo and Meso morphs. Exporting the whole body as an MT doesn't seem to work. Poser just sit's and spins when trying to import the MT.OBJ file as a morph.

I exported those with Morph Manager, but that was when I ran onto the problem. Apparently the chest part is different from James' :( On a better note: Did you know that they're working on getting Apollo Face Room ready? :oD

I haven't even played with my new Apollo yet! Been having too much fun with James in the faceroom! ;) I'm waiting on Koji's faceroom addon as well though! Whoopie when they're all out! Now, if only they'd make Dork & Posette faceroom compatible I'd be in heaven! Hehehe....I still loves me my Dork!
