I like it very much, but can't get the morphs to show up. I have all the files installed including the morphs from Free Stuff and read all the text files which said- the morphs may not show up in DAZ Studio 4 and you have to use DAZ Studio 3 and transfer them over. How am I supposed to get DAZ Studio 3? So far I have some very fine textures and poses but I had looked forward to getting away from the standard SubDragon shape.

I have this expansion pack installed for both Poser and DAZ Studio 4.

I'm totally new to DAZ Studio, but I've started using it because I like this dragon. Previously I only used it to get my Poser models into Bryce. I have this SubDragon expansion in Poser, but in there it's only going to be nice textures and poses. I was looking forward to the fresh new shape for the head. Which I'm not getting. :-) (I forgot to read all the text before buying, but I'm still not sorry.)

I haven't bought the set yet but I did download the freebie morphs and I'm curious as well since they don't work for me either.  I wonder if the the kind of SubDragon matters since I personally only have the LE that comes with Daz as opposed to the completed version.

I think you have to have the complete SubDragon.

I think I'm screwed because there's no way I can get DAZ STudio 3.

:-(

The Sub Dragon is an EXP enabled figure like V4/M4/K4, so like them these morphs need to go in the same Runtime that the Sub Dragon is installed in, you then need to run the updater script to create the morph channels, that way you have someplace to INJect the morphs the next time you load the Sub Dragon's default CR2.

The version that comes with DS4.0 isn't EXP enabled, so the morphs wont work with it, and the version that comes with DS4.5 is TriAx and you can't inject morphs into a TriAx figure.

Ah, thank you for the information.  Guess I'll have to do without or at the least save up to purchase the full SubDragon.
