Adding from my previous post that what we got to see is a preview of what I think is the Generation 5 figure showing in the pic in my last post. So bear in mind this is still a preview but it does look interesting, as to whether they use an all in one figure like I said in my last post or they may have different ones like they did with Generation 4 figures. (not really sure).

But I have a feeling that they may be doing away with the seperate figures for male and female like M4 and V4 and so on, and just going with the all in one figure with Gen 5.

And there is so much I could add about DS4 I could go on for ages and ages. lol

I know this I am going to love DS4 when it is released from just playing around with the beta..

Lets hope it is what I hope it is and if Gen 5 is what I think it is then the content makers might have a bit of a nightmare creating content for it.

One last thing too Gen 4 characters so far seem to not work with the current Gen 5 figure in the beta even with the V4 slider that you get with the current beta.

There are sliders to decide whether you want a basic male or female adult form or a basic Child form, with a number of male forms from fat to thin all from sliders, and you can also have a M4 and V4 slider to shape the figure and all this from one mesh.

There are a lot of things to get used to and I am having to relearn how to use it as it has changed so much.

Also it will sit very happily next to DS3 so there is no worry of DS4 Beta overwriting and or uninstalling DS3 though you can not have both 32 bit and 64 bit DS4 Beta on the same system which I spose is obvious but some may want both.

Here is a pic of DS4 with the Generation 5 model in the beta, but all I know there is going to be a learning curve to get reaquainted with the new GUI of DS4 but this is the advanced GUI in the pic, and that this is still beta so many changes coming still.

No not that I know of, as the problem only affected Stephanie 4 and not Victoria 4 when used in the same scene. In the end I found out what was resetting the facial morphs, seems that the base figure I had made up I had included the Aiko4 and The Girl4 morph injections as well and for some reason having them included, would reset the face morphs. So a case of go figure. lol

Thank you again for the help I have solved my problem all due to using Aiko 4 and The Girl 4 injection morphs. :D

Hi thank you for the info I had a go and it didn't do what I hoped it would do. So I am at a loss as to why Poser can not keep the face morph information intact for Stephanie 4, when I reload the PZ3. It is really strange.

Thank you, yeah turns out that there is a problem with Poser 8 in that if the extension is .PZ2 then P8 refuses to use it, if it is .pz2 then it works go figure that something so simple could cause so many headaches. :D  

Hi and thank you for helping me out have solved my problem.

Both the RM LaraM morph folder and RMJessi morph folder are together in the main RMMorphs Folder under the the Libraries folder where they were extracted the files too.

As I created a separate V4 Characters Runtime Folder on another drive, though now coming to think of it there are about 5 or so install options with Poser 8 I may reinstall again to see if it changes things but if so why do some morphs inject and others don't.
 
I thought to that may have been it but lo such luck, out of the 6 RM products I bought only RM Jessi works as it is supposed too.  Why the others don't work in P8 still has me stumped.

i thank you for your advice the search is set deep and sort of got around the problem of the body morphs by going into Poser 7 and doing all the bits in there and creating a new pose for it.  But the facial pose still refuses to work in P8 even after creating a separate face pose in P7..

Here is the face .pz2 file that is giving the problems.

The thing is that RM Jessi works fine and uses a similar setup to this one I just dont know what I am missing wiith this one.  :(
 

Thank you for the information as was unsure if there were likely to be any problems. I just have to make sure I don't do it again.

Yeah thanks have done so and will do it from now on shame really as this is a great site, thanks for your help..
