Subject: Transfer Morphs and Settings to another Character


l3st4t ( ) posted Sat, 25 August 2007 at 8:29 AM · edited Thu, 25 July 2024 at 12:32 AM

Hi all, today I'm facing the highs and lows of working on a Character without having all the necessary Body Morphs Installed. Or maybe, I'm just facing the highs and lows of being a newbie to such a customable world as the 3D one is (sometimes I feel like Alice in Wonderland or just like a baby in a Candy Shop..."Hey! I'll go for this one too"!!  LOL)
My bad, anyway... :(
I've just installed NBS for V3. Problem is that it seems not to be working with other characters than a so called "Victoria 3 80" included in the pack.

Obviously, my primary target was injecting that morph on an exsisting character which I created on the V3 model.

Now, in order to enjoy those Breast Morphs (which I reccomend, since they add a very realistic look to the breast physics) ...Is there a way to transfer the exsisting character settings to the "victoria 3 80" model in just one click or do I have to copy and paste all of the settings manually?

Thanks in advance to anyone who wants/can help me out. :)

You should be able to use Morph Manager to transfer the morphs.

Thanks nruddock, at least you had me discovering a very nice and effective utility, and these are the good news.
Bad news are, it didn't help.
I managed to transfer all of the morphs plus all of the specific settings, but for some unexplainable reason, that doesn't affect the looks of any of the body parts.
I mean I can see that the morphs have been injected and everything, but the V3 80 model still looks like it originally is.
Also tried to tweak manually with the transferred morphs, but then again, didn't work. :(**

Posermatic did issue an update that use Python to add the extra channels. If you bought the set here, check your item list for the update. If you bought it elsewhere, you'll need to check / enquire as appropriate to the store you purchased from.

Well, I checked Posermatic thread and it was exactly what I was looking for. Too bad I didn't bought it here...and elsewhere neither. I just downloaded the pack for free for 2 reasons...One is that I've been dealing with 3D for the last three days and for the very first time ever. That means it's early to say  either I got skills or not...And to be honest I do really need a trial to see either if I like this kind of stuff or I'm good at it. That's why I'd rather waiting until my skills have this nowadays potentially wasted money turning into invested money. ;)

Second reason is, I heard V3 is about to retire and V4 is stepping up. so I'd rather wait for the V4 NBS (and of course, I hope to be ready to spend some bucks on that, which will mean I'll be relying on my 3D skills and potential)...

Anyway, thanks a lot :)

I wouldn't say V3 is about to retiire, there's nothing really wrong with V3 technically and there are tons of really excellent textures, tools, morphs, clothes, etc since she's been around a long time.  V4 is a good figure, and I prefer working with her, but there's no compelling reason to pick one or the other.  Just be aware that things you get for one figure are basically not compatible with the other.

You touched one of my (many) weak spots. The choice between V3 and V4. I'm afraid to let this thread going OT, but now that we're talking about it, I'd like your help to make myself a few things clear.

Basically I know that (almost) anything made for one character doesn't fit with the other and viceversa.
Now. I have both V3 and V4 models but because of the variety of body morphs and stuff, I always find more enjoyable working with V3.
But it isn't painless, because IMHO  the V4 nails the V3 in terms of anatomy and global smoothness.

I had a look into the marketplace and I've been fascinated by GND2 (for V3) and the Pretty Base IV (not to mention Daveigh and Dahlia) for V4.

Question is: would you choose quantity (V3) or quality(V4)? I can't decide but at the same time I ain't got billions to spend...


pjz99 ( ) posted Sat, 25 August 2007 at 7:19 PM

I can't advise you, and frankly quality exists on both sides.  It depends on what you want to do, what you see when you look in the market place, and what you can afford.  Take a deep breath and pick one, and in either option be prepared to waste a little money.

@pjz99:
Thanks anyway for your words. there's wisdom in 'em. You said you wouldn't advice me but you did and I'll be following your suggestion (even if could use a  lil help on the main differencies between V3 and V4 after all ;) )

@estherau:
I downloaded Morphmanager which is a very nice app. But then again, although I can see morphs VALUES being transferred,  they doesn't affect the body part at all. Not a problem anyway, I'm thinking on switching to V4 if I cound only sort out a little problem with my saved scenes as I stated here.


estherau ( ) posted Mon, 27 August 2007 at 6:18 PM

l3st4t the dials don't do anything because u either have to start with an injected V3 to transfer from, or injrect the new morphs into your new figure after using morph manager.

I told you estherau, I did. I tried to transfer the looks of a previously morphed V3 model to a brand new V3_80 in order to enjoy the NBS associated to it. I guess that it is a matter concerning the V3_80 model included in the NBS pack which seems to refuse morphs based on the V3? Dunno. Anyway I'll be trying to transfer the morphs to a standard V3 model...Thanks anyway...


estherau ( ) posted Mon, 27 August 2007 at 7:57 PM

sorry - wasn't paying attention. well if it works, post your results. what is a V3_80? love esther
