Subject: Custom morph has X-translation baked in...

I accidentally left in an X-translation into the hip when making my full body morph and now it is baked into the morph itself, how do I get rid of the translation? The only "solution" I found was to go into the properties tab and delete the Y and X trans info in the morph, but it will not save into the morph itself via the morph asset dialogue, so I'm stuck with the off-center morph!

I originally posted in the official Daz forum about a day ago, with over 20 views but no response as of yet and I don't want to bump the thread as it is falling down the list...

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

This should be easy to fix. Try the following steps:

– Remove Y and X trans from morph

– Export to Hexagon via bridge

– Zero figure in Daz

– Import (morphed) figure back into Daz

– Save as new morph

You should be able to overwrite the old morph this way. If not, there are a couple of workarounds – just let us know.

PS – I've had trouble getting help from the Daz forums, too. Glad you decided to post over here! :)

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, it pretty much worked, it is often the most simplest solutions that are best, I was going for a more technical solution such as manipulating the properties and some such, as my character morph was ported from a Genesis 3 morph with the JCMs baked in, which is why I wanted a solution for the ported morph, but with this method I can go to the source and port it from there!

Thanks again, and yes, the main Daz forum is a bit hard on getting solutions and I'm glad I posted here, oh, and I used ZBrush via GOZ as I don't have Hexagon installed...

Awesome! I'm glad it worked for you. :)

I have that happen all the time. I save a morph on zbrush so I can reset it in zbrush by making out the part and then invert. Use the morph slider and goz back to studio.
