they might ask me to change the thumbnails. i think it's okay to show the whole figure if the shader is all gray. like in pose sets. the other forum seems okay with it.

Well get busy girl... you have now discovered how to bump up your pension when you retire! Silene

oh! This is wonderful news! I can't wait! Do the clothes work on the figures too, or does each item need a separate conversion?

clothes and hair need to be converted

when you load a daz item into carrara, when you see the bones moving but not the mesh, first suspect is it's a skin binding issue

works on muscle car also, when a daz rigged car wont open the doors >.<

I am so glad you posted your images here now that the thread 'over there' has gone... there were so much useful work-throughs on that thread. Hope you get your bandicam vids up soon when your product page goes live.

Antara... hello!!!

Good idea, Wendy... maybe a Rendo member might step up and work with Misty on this.

It's just insane that DS do not want to sort making this great tool available. Even if they are working on a direct import solution for Carrara, this has great potential.

I have Poser but do not use it (got it in early days before DS). They came up with an importer that is offered here for free. So it must not be as big of a problem for Poser to work with G3 from what I read below.

https://forum.smithmicro.com/topic/487/genesis-3-to-poser-11-without-going-into-daz-studio/32

https://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/genesis-3-poser-updater/76121

Obviously there are many more obstacles with Carrara and instead of throwing up hands in despair as DAZ weary Carrarra users, like myself, do--- Misty took on the challenge and is putting a lot of effort and time into this. She needs support, not deleted threads.

This could be big... really big. G3 has a lot of useful features.

And I am so pleased it's a woman sorting it out!!!

It's just insane that DS do not want to sort making this great tool available. Even if they are working on a direct import solution for Carrara, this has great potential.

Silene, that was my initial response as well. But now I am starting to think along other lines.

Daz certainly has their own logic and long term strategy. Everyone assumes that Daz wants to get G7 into more platforms, but simply won't spend the money to make the necessary changes. However, what if both of those assumptions are false?

I propose that something changed at the corporate level a few years ago, which resulted in a new strategy. Daz actually doesn't want to share G7 - with anybody. The evidence is pretty much in our faces. Unlike in the past, Daz has obviously made no effort to get their latest creation (G7) into Poser or Carrara, or even the Unity engine. Instead, it appears to me that they are trying to protect and enhance the position of DS, by making it the only product that has G7 support.

In other words, they actually don't want G7 in Carrara. It dilutes their "brand." Even for the Unity engine, they are only offering Generation 6.

It's not shocking. This is how beancounters think, more often than not.

If I am right, then nothing can be done, except for hoping that talented Carrara (and Poser) enthusiasts find a way to work around their strategy.

Just speculation.

they do offer fbx and a collada exporter, 2 methods to use Genesis 3 in other apps. genesis 3 Is also tooted for unity and game development

a couple more screenshots.

the installer offers a few shaders in carrara transparency for cornea and eye moisture. eyelashes alpha mask, and angry robot eyes.

under presets, shaders, skin, genesis 3 carrara,

the default skins in the starter essentials use the aoa shader. which loads as 'lights out' in carrara. would recommend loading texture maps manually, or in DS convert the shaders.

Misty, I've seen your posts in older youtube Unity threads. AFAIK, Daz is not promoting G7 in Unity. It is being imported there by independents, much like you have done it.

FBX doesn't work in Carrara for G3... or else doing it the Unity way does not work in Carrara..... sorry am not savvy enough to mess with that.

Will it spoil things for you if you post the screenshot steps for DS>Carrara? I know that must be where things are going wrong for me. You seem to be able to do the transfer utility and get into Carrara. I can do that part, too. But I only get morphs, no posing control sliders want to work. The ready-poses work OK, but that's too limiting. I saw you had that at first from the videos, how did you get around it? I tried to watch very very closely but admit to being really puzzled. Easily done! Also, I am not sure about the clothing. I didn't copy those steps before the thread went down... just the main part.

I just cannot see how you get those POSE sliders to work in CARRARA. So it must be something in the transfer utility action?

I made a cool atlatl (spear thrower). My first model from scratch-ish. Now just need a G3M version of my young lad to fire it off.

Having a sad day with all the pain in London.... Silene

Hooray! Wow Misty the renders look incredible. Oh gosh... did I just exaggerate??... they look excellent! Congrats! I just checked the link you posted earlier... still no luck, darn. I'll try to check back often... gotta run... shopping.

this version wasnt made with the transfer utility.

Wendy.....From the beginning when I joined the 'other' forums, I have leaned you are a true guru... a treasure-trove of experience and knowledge of all-things-3D. When I see how you come up with solutions, it means a lot because average users like myself would just throw up hands in despair. Then I see what you and others can do and that they share it. That is why I am so out-raged about how Misty was treated.

Have you done a tut/video on the FBX-iClone conversion I thought I remembered but the search utility in DAZ forums is useless.. Have tried to search for some beginner tuts in general for iClone that don't go over every single feature first.I have IClone but not used it yet. I am trying to work with Zbrush for making my palaeo tools and props, etc. I really like Zbrush as its so precise. But it has 1000+ tools I will never get round to working with, so am trying to concentrate on what I can do.

That is why I like Misty's idea. Yes, it's a workaround but it is a working workaround. And she has given a good deal of her time to make life better for Carrarians.

Silene

there is this one I have not really done a tute as such though discussed it a few times, exactly what are you having issues with? there are some by Reallusion for nonstandard figures that are more professional than I could do, on the Renderosity forums too.

Fantastic! Can't wait to try this! Kudos Misty! Please pardon my misspelled name. Mistakes like that actually cost money to correct over here! wtf?

Anyway... this is awesome!!!

Silene, are you having issues with support products? Here's the thing:

Do as Misty mentions with the blended weight thing, as she mentions on the previous page

Then save that result back into the library, with a new name, in the same structure so it's easily found in the same way the original item was

Now load that new item into Carrara for use on the new G3 for Carrara.

Example:

Let's change an imaginary coat

In Daz Studio Library, I find it under People > Genesis 3 Male > Clothing > Imaginary Coat

the coat is now in our library available for bringing into Daz Studio - so I load it in I now do the Blend Weights conversion

Now I save the coat back into the library, so during my save (as a figure support asset) a browse all the way to My Daz3d Library > People > Genesis 3 > Clothing > Imaginary Coat

Just to NOT overwrite the original, I call this one: "Coat4Carrara" or some other simple change so I can easily distinguish it

Now back in Carrara, I load in the Coat4Carrara, rather that the original Coat

Does that help?

Hi Dart... Glad you came to visit! We could do with a prosecco party soon I hope!

I do all the steps, it's just that I do not get the pose sliders working once into Carrara. Before the thread disappeared, I posted my renders. The G3 worked in Carrara if I used prepackaged poses, eg Feral Fey or some other G3 fashion ones. But no slider controls for posing (arms up/down, knees up, legs in out). I could not get those sliders to show up under ACTOR they only show up under the G3F-NEWNAME above that in the tree. No slider posing joy. So it's going to be a ...erm... Misty-ery until we get the tool.

I have wondered if it has something to do with the Windows 7.

**Wendy, **I will look at your threads/videos later in the weekend. Thanks for posting them.

I can't wait!! Silene

the pose controls don't work cuz the transfer utility didnt bring the ercs over. transfer utility is designed for clothes and hair, wouldnt want ercs and limits set on clothes, you should be able to select the bone directly and rotate with wire manipulator

you have the dson editor, ercs are in the subtrees called formula, you could copy them over from the original dsf to the transfer utility (the final) one 01,02,the one after 02

No, my problem is that I thought applying the tsf utility was part of creating the Carrara friendly G3 product duf to then load into carrara. The thread is gone now, but the way I copied the stuff from it, it looked like making your G3 Car man/woman was to transfer g3001 onto the g3002. As part of the routine, g3002 was stripped of its nodes in DSON editor. I thought combining them back with g3001 was how it worked.

I got there once before somehow, but have lost my way since then. I am not sure now how to combine the two prop assets created to get a working one to load into carrara. The one I had before I did then save as a carrara file once in Carrara, but she does not work now with the prepackaged poses I was able to do before. Now I have to move her joints manually and there are no facial expressions.

What Misty says about finding the FORMULA in the sub-tree... I cannot find anything named FORMULA when in DSON for an untouched working DS G3 figure's dsf file.

I know it's me... but am missing an important step. I don't care about clothes at this point at all. But I can wait for the utility to be published if it will do it for me! Hmmmm.... Silene

I finally did it.... I cannot believe I was having so much trouble. It was that I did not have the final save in the right place... it was trying to 'call'... is that the word? the incorrect dsf file back in the original G3F folder.

The clothes part comes much easier. But I am finding that using the prepackaged poses... they are not giving happy **feet ** posing once saved as a carrara file, even if the model is saved in a tee pose. Have to work that one out... I can go back and reload the duf from my special save and start over no problem till I do.

This is Dart's Carrara Badlands.... with PhilW's Adrea dynamic hair. The dragon was just a bit of fun... I was going to say something about it being a Car Dev Team member following her, but that would be snarky.

Please do! That's a brilliant idea. Having that list (and also tips and tricks for conversion, as I suspect some items are easier to use than others) would really help with buying choices! And congratulations on the product going live!

Congratulations, Misty. Maybe the list of fails should have three categories. One for clothes that work with the blended weight fix. One that loads, doesn't confrm/morph as expected but that will work with VWD. One for clothes/hair that crash before VWD can be applied.

Or maybe I misunderstand the crashes.

Good idea Dio... maybe we can start a new thread just for this purpose? Silene

sounds good !

i'se giving Kenji 7 a test run today.

i converted the g3m anatomical to blended.
but it also needs to be converted from geograft to conforming dont want it punching holes in his mesh. i do it by editing the dsf file, seeing if it can be done with a preset file

there's not much to the lady anatomical bit. could prolly do a crease morph though, i'm sure rot'ka has something more spectacular

That would be awesome, can't wait for that!!

Jamy, the main thing is making clothing and hair Carrara friendly as well as tweaking shaders, most Carrara users are used to the latter, there are a lot of missing maps.

For the clothing and hair you need DAZ studio,

All you need to do in most cases is load the clothes in DAZ studio by clicking them , some have a preset that loads a whole outfit.

No figure is needed in the scene in fact best not as if not Johnathon or Janet could crash Carrara.

then select each garment and go to edit/figure/rigging convert triax/general weight to blended weight

then under file save as scene subset

you can select your figure in carrara and load that scene subset from your library or by file and it will fit and apply morphs for each garment and hair in turn.

Nice to see the slo-mo action video, thank you! I also noted your request for the clothing conversion script in the next video... great idea. Any bites yet? Silene

not yet, its a matter of finding someone with scripting knowledge that uses Carrara and wants to use Genesis 3.

would not need to be DAZ script or Carrara more of a batch notepad hack on the duf files,

Someone like Dimension 3D prob could do it but AFAIK they have no interest in Carrara.

MJCasual might even who knows? Or maybe Fenric?

just putting it out there as a suggestion hoping someone can as I am sure all of us would buy it if put on the marketplace here.

a quick look in notepad at an uncompressed file reveals "binding_mode" : "Blended", instead of "binding_mode" : "General", is the crucial line needed, the word dual Quart is still actually present however most duf files are compressed so unsure how one can do this unless one batch unzips them with 7zip maybe first Find and replace on an unaltered scene subset should have worked but did not so it gets more puzzling

Great product, and very easy to use.

This is my first experiment with using a Genesis 3 figure in Carrara 8.5 Pro using "CarrarActors, Janette and Johnathon for Genesis 3 in Carrara 8.5". It uses the "Darius 7" morphs and textures, "Classic Trenchcoat for Genesis 3 Male(s)" and "Diesel Hair for Genesis 3 Male(s) & Female(s)". I then applied a Genesis 3 aniblock that I converted to a NLA clip.

It is rendered at 1920x1080 @ 30fps and averaged 15 sec per frame to render.

he's having a good stretch.

with all his mouth rigging could give a big yawn

I made a basic shader from the default G3F and G3M maps. I also picked up a Forbidden Whispers merchant skin resource for G3M, but I have not constructed a global shader preset from it yet.

With sufficient modification, I believe that I am allowed to offer a Carrara G3M skin shader based on ForbiddenWhispers resource, but I will check with the artist. Not sure how Ringo was able to offer Carrara shaders for Daz characters that relied on their maps. Will inquire.

The custom morph process I outlined for G2 should also work for your G3 Carrara folks. Has anyone tried?

Got started on a shader preset for G3F in Carrara. Blending maps from Eva 7 with some custom organic skin shaders. Suggestions welcome.

i made 2nd skin templates, using old wings3d 99.5, it has the color faces option, think they took it away in later versions.

don't want to bake it into the skin though, surely the rara shader tree can handle it as a layer?

I must admit I've been putting off installing "Janette and Johnathon". I've a question before I do... I have a folder called "3rd Party content" where I keep everything away from where your documention says to install to. Thought I'd better as if it's ok to install to the other folder?

Have a coloured pencil... color me puzzled.

if your genesis 3 (male and female) starter essentials are in the 3rd party folder, should be okay.

the carrara folders can go in any "shader" preset folder

Forgot to ask... Did I miss something... please let me know more about Jeanne and Eddie. Probably mentioned earlier... if so I'll just go back page or so and find out.

jeanne and eddie are the skin textures that come with the genesis 3 starter essentials.

their ds shader presets are aoa shaders, aoa shaders are dark in carrara.

i think most of us are loading the maps manually in carrara, and then saving it to carrara's browser tray.

i like to use the carrara shader shown in 'holly wet circuit's specular hightlights video tut. originally found it on carraracafe site. good stuff there!!!

Holly Rocks! Perhaps I'll take a look for later also. Right now fingers is twitching... haven't modeled anything in a few days... and need to create something for the current Carrara Challenge.

Do 3DL textures for skin also use AoA? Just bought a G3F Char, uses 3DL, from Digital Creations.

Also I hasa lot of skin shaders bought for Carrara only.

I'se thinking of adding a Triax weight preset of G3.

Would anyone be interested?

I would add it to the J & J product. if it'll let me add another zip file to the product.

Triax weighted G3F/M may be susceptible to the same file size drawbacks as Genesis 1 & 2.

but on the other hand, it should trigger triax autofit morph projections.

Genesis 8 eyebrows and eyelashes should benefit more from the morph projections. Wouldn't be able to test theory until i finished the triax preset.

RE: Triax and Blended - Converting to blended seemed to work reasonably well for me for Genesis 3 (Vicky 7 and Mike 7). Not sure I understand the costs and benefits of creating triax versions compared to the blended weights.

RE: styles - I like silly toon and claymation styles. I also like fantasy heroes, science fiction adventure, and cheesy classic pinups. When I'm in a rut, I might throw together a Frazzeta Conan type cover or an Elvgren type pinup. Often helps me get back on track.

I posted a free outfit for G3F to ShareCG. Fantasy dancer. Just convert the figure rigging to blended weight to use in Carrara with Misty's character. Commercial renders OK, just don't redistribute the mesh/rigging/etc. https://sharecg.com/v/94373/view/21/DAZ-Studio/G3F-Fantasy-DForce-Dancer-Untextured

Hello, I have recently bought the product (Black Friday Sale ) and I am trying to learn to use it. I am having difficulties trying to apply some materials: in some cases, when I drag the material to Genesis 3 male (in the instances tree) I get the following error: Error: node name://%40selection/Genesis3Male: not found It happens only in some cases; with other genesis 3 characters the materials can be applied without problems. i suppose that I amb doing something wrong but I do not know how to solve it... Could you help me with this problem? Thank you in advance! Ramon

In the instance tab, highlight "actor' when applying a material set.

Or to apply a shader to a single shader domain, highlight actor, switch to shader room, drag shader and drop to the shader somain, example face

.

Daz shaders come in different flavors, some are iray, some are AoA shaders, both of which are potential propblems in carrara. for example iray opacity won't work. some makeups are setup for Daz Studio's LIE layered imaging.

optionally, you could apply your favorite carrara skin shader. Delphinia is a nice one, then manually load the texture maps you're interest in using. for iray shaders, the alpha map would need to manually be selected.

for make up layers, one option is to play with the shader mixer.
another method is to merge the make up layer with skin in a photo editor - (rhis is the method i use)
