Ok, I know M3 has been out a while and there are probably some of you out there who have posted this or simular...but I haven't been online for way too long. Call it living 30 miles from Cyber Civilization. And NOW I finally have the opportunity to ask!!

Ok. What's with M3? Uhm, last  year I downloaded the free M3 base from Daz, also the musle morph pack from another site. Here's the problem: Whenever I add tone or muscle - heck even the individual muscle morphs to every body part...the left arm and leg from buttock to foot, collar to hand doesn't even change. It's stays default and no matter how much I spin the dials... NOTHING!! ARGGHHH!!! 

So, what in the frag is wrong with him and how do I fix it??

Unfortunately I don't have an example pic...it's kinda hard to download anything from a library pc sigh

Thanks!

There are updates to M3 at DAZ.  Have you downloaded-installed them? :)

From another site?  You should have gotten the muscle morphs from DAZ.  Are you sure you got the right muscle morph pack?  Some are for other male characters (like the ones at RDNA, which are for the e-Frontier figures).  

If this is the correct morph pack...are you using multiple runtimes?  Many people find they have to install the !DAZ folder in the main runtime, even if they are using M3 in a different runtime.

Sounds to me like you downloaded a muscle character from another site and not the muscle morphs package.  The only place you can get the morph packages is from Daz..

if you want to change the look of her face and body, or use any of the available character addon packages, you need to buy the head and body morphs.

The V3 head and body morphs are here:

http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=3008

Also, Michael 3, is available free right now too at Daz3D. Again, like Vicky, you need the head and body morphs to change the shape of his head and body. Those can be found here:

http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=3009

If you have both figures, you can get both of their head and body morphs in one package, here:

http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=3010

NOTE:  You can use the textures from the character addon packages without having the head/body morphs. 

If you want to change the look of the head/body and have the head/body morphs, do the following:

Install the head and body morphs. 

Locate the morphs you want to use in the "Poses" folder.

Find the set of morphs you want to inject IE:  Full Body, Full Head.... or just certain parts. 

Left  click the picture

Click the Single Checkmark at the bottom of the page.

Go to your Parameter Dials and start turning dials.  (make sure that you have the part of the body you want to adjust as the active one IE:  Morphing the ears, make sure you have the had selected.

Also, you may want to have a look at the post in the above link. It's a collection of information of new users. I know that you said you had used poser years ago, but you've been away from it for some time, so you might want to look at it anyway :)

Oh, I've got the DZ morphs for M3, but it...well...only works like I said. I haven't been able to dl any new updates though. Thanks for the idea and the comments. Will check it out.
