I've been using DAZ|Studio for a few months now and this problem has continued to annoy me. When I use the Victoria 3 RR LE model that came with DAZ, the faces that I've downloaded for the V3 model don't really work correctly. At least, I don't think they do since the expressions I get differ a lot from the ones in the thumbnails. Example, a smirk will be exagerated into a broad-faced grin, thinning the lips and making her look more crazy than coy.
But THIS warp is the one that bothers me the most. THE MODEL'S EYES WILL NOT CLOSE. I have quite a few face poses in which V3's eyes should close. (And I know these faces DO close eyes because I have applied them to the Aiko 3 and Hiro 3 models and their eyes did close.) They don't. And she just looks weird for it. I have a screenshot to show it.
As you can see from the thumbnail, I have the "Dreamer" face applied (yes, it is applied), which is almost a pouty-mouthed face with closed-eyes. And as you can also see, the face isn't doing that. At all. None of the above. Okay, her lips are parted slightly. That's about it.
I'm wondering whether this is just an error I can't get over (which would be horrible, since the majority of my downloads are FOR the Victoria 3 model and I just figured out how to apply new skin textures and such), or if I have incorrect settings somewhere in DAZ|Studio.
Help? Please? I would greatly appreciate it.

Have you got any head morphs loaded?

No, just the default head, but none of these came with any head morphs, and this isn't just for this set; none of the sets work properly.

The free V3 RR has very few morphs, and you can't use the Head and Body morphs with it as they are made for the full resolution mesh. If you can't make her blink it sounds as if at some point the full version blink morph was injected, which will have broken the supplied morph (and the same for any other morphs from the full res figure that have been injected). You will probably need to reinstall the figure to undo that.

Well it could be that is what is required for them to work...Have you asked at DAZ..either in the forums or directly to tech support about this?

Ah, no, I didn't check the forums there yet. Should have done that first. Oops. I'll do that now.
...and I just found that I could manually close the eyes in the parameters. Gyah. I'm just a GENIUS. sarcasm
Thank you both for your replies.

Did you download V3 SAE?
