But they should!

Imagine the hydraulic pressure!

Dialer:

Yes, I have Morphs++, and have successfully loaded them into M4.  I have even tried injecting them into the M4 Gen, although this doesn't seem to do anything.  Since they are trying to morph much more than just the small piece of common geometry, I don't think these morphs (intended for M4) will work on the gens.  There are clearly some morphs included with the gens (bodybuilder, superman, thin, etc) but not the heavy, bulk etc.  Thus, if you dial up the  torso at the hips, the attachment mesh stays put and, from an external view, sinks inside the body.

Painful (and not very realistic).

Dialer:

Thanks.  Actually, I think you have to install that file to have M4 Gens at all.  I did that.  It's just that the installed morphs do not include a number of the corresponding body morphs.  I was looking for some way to find and load the additional morphs, or maybe only slender M4's are allowed to have gens.

Regards.

Can you add morphs to the gens?  It seems to have some, but not all, in it's "native" state (ie as it is created by the installer and updater).

How would one add morphs to the gens?  I thought the morphs were specific to the object (M4).  I don't have a folder for gens morphs (that I can find - is there one created during install?).

I do not use power loader, as I use Carrara.  Would that be required to load them?

Thanks.

Just a little housekeeping suggestion.  I maintain a separate directory of content (I call it poser runtimes) which I have set up with the same runtime names (Animals, Buildings, Furniture, Props, Environments, G2 Characters, V4 Characters, V4 Clothing, M3, etc.).  When I install new content into one of my active runtimes, I then move the original content file (DAZ exe or zip file) to the corresponding directory.  That way, when the time comes to do a reinstall (and it will come!), I can simply install content one directory at a time, and all my runtimes are set up the way I like them.

This also makes it easy to back up content (directory by directory) and to split up content when one runtime gets too big.  SImply decide how to split up the content (old buildings vs. modern for example) place the content in the two directories accordingly, blow away the old runtime (buildings) and install content to the two new ones.  Presto, they each open quickly again!

BTW, I use the 3d Content Installer by Ahudson - works great on almost all installs and really automates the process.  Drag and drop a whole runtime of files and just let it go - even Daz installers.

By the way, I long ago gave up backing up to DVD's and simply bought a cheap 160 GB external drive (check out the prices, they are way down).  I copy the content runtime folders to it and then sync it occasionally.  I use this for off site - I run a home server which backs up everything nightly, but it occurred to me that I could have a sytemic failure (house fire?) and then I would have to try to reassemble all my content from vendor sites - yikes!  I also back up output (save files and WIP) while I'm at it.  Since I usually use Carrara, I also grab the carrara content I've created (it's in the My Documents folder under DAZ3DCarara7MyPresets.

Thanks!

I was confused because you have to click on "buy it" for a given product before you can see the bundles.  It might help to put a link or message on the product page(s) to indicate that bundles are available.

Quote - Oh, and about the bundle question. If you click through to the store there are several bundles available near the top of the page.

Where?  I have looked all over the DCG store, where are the bundles?

Sheesh, are there no lightwave forums?  There's a similar thread in the carrara forum extolling the virtues of Lightwave along the same  "my kid's gorgeous, your kid's ugly" lines.

Waste of time.

Kim Goossens lives in Antwerp, Belgium.  It is just possible that he saw some of the Dany cartoons during his formative years.

Hey, jgodeau, thanks for the link.  That's exactly what I was looking for.  Don't know why I thought it was Rote, although that means Red, so maybe that was some association I made back then.

By the way, I prefer my nudity non-violent!

Back in the 90's there was a CD based (or VCD - remember them?) monthly magazine available in Holland (and I suspect elsewhere) that featured these types of cartoons.  It seems to me it was something like  "Rote Oortjes" or similar.  It must have featured the work of this Dany, or else someone copying his style.  Is it still around?  I've been in the US for 10 years+ and never seen it here.

The forearms appear somewhat atrophied.  Moving the elbow out where it belongs and just foreshortening the existing width may help.

Joel - Yes ... you are one of us.

Thanks guys.  I suspected it was something like that once I started playing around and trying various options.

Obvious building damage with smoke trailing up from it.  This may be better added in post.
