What about a Genesis 9 DMC...can you guys create one, can it be done...

Issue #1785 invalid
Joe Morris @ FAST Animation Studio Toolz created an issue

Just you guys are probably the number one DAZ think tank so I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on this if this can be done why hasn't it been done I looked at my Genesis 9 folder I have a whole folder of vizims……………. the Daz Studio Forum answerer supreme Wendyluvscats told me that all you had to do was replace the morphs linked to the vizims in the DMC file and you're done but it hasn't been done yet publicly and I just wondered why that is

i'm thinking about trying it myself but I wondered if it's not a good idea or if it can't be done with normal means

    And one more question why is MORPH loader pro in Daz Studio if you can't get it anywhere… I have it for CARRERA but there's no online tutorial how to install it do you guys know how to do that or have a link?…..

    note 2…………..people already created versions of rhubarb so we'd really have to do is create a 4th version and keep it updated and you know you just have to you know make the export to blender script maybe add viseme morphs to the genesis 9…on export… you'd have the rhubarb port that you would theoretically add to DIFF EOMORPHIC already know the name of those vizims and right when it's brought into blender's you know you'd set a key frame just like rhubarb does for all the keyframes at once…. Then it's add an audio file and a text file and I have automatic lip sync easily in blender and this is only if my original idea of creating a Genesis 9 dmc is not feasible for some reason………. Then pretty easily you know you could do this for Genesis 3 through 9….And if you don't want to do it I'll probably do one or the other and then when I'm done I'll send it to you I'll give GPT an example of your coding style and verify it's up to par with what you do before I send it…. For example assume you'd want a button right underneath the facecap button along with two text boxes for an audio file and text file and then Reuse internal functions and variables that you commonly use in your code and make sure the code is as strong as the code that you write all with gpt because I don't know if I'm up to your guys's level yet..

    Mimic is a very old software, it only works for the 32 bit version of daz studio and it is intended for G1 G2. With G8.1 G9 we get facs that are compatible with standard mocaps so we can import facecap and livelink instead of using Mimic.

    So what about creating girl characters I create a lot of girl characters in my show for instance and although I like face cap I can't use it there because I can't really enjoy the show knowing that a man is talking for a woman I could use audio from replica of course but then I would still know it's a man's face animating the girl's face… that's why I like mimic so much um but what you mentioned just kind of leaves an issue for creating women characters do you know another way I might do this using your current system or other sort of automatic lip sync… I'm checking on the new one I forgot what it's called but it always has that 3D head of John Cena I know about that so if I have to use that… If you know about that if you have a working tutorial for it that works for DAZ models that would be great a while back I watched so many I just got disheartened because none of them would work

    The male female gender is your personal choice that has nothing to do with the technology capabilities or the addon. It is definitely out of topic here.

  5. Joe Morris @ FAST Animation Studio Toolz reporter

    But just the thing is if you want to create a female character Have to find an actress on FIVERR and I've tried and that is hard to find a low price actress Willing to do this stuff …..If you could help me with advice maybe on how I'd get started creating a Genesis 9 dmc then I'll just make one for everybody … I just asked because you guys have so much knowledge and if I take a strong initial approach then you know it would Happen quicker...really help the whole DAZ world because I'll post it where everybody can get it for free… If it can't be done I'll just Update rhubarb to blender 3.6 .4 and create a solution there so if you could let me know , again thanks for all your help…. You know I'm just sending these feature requests when I notice there’s an area that's important to improve because of a specific reason I don't mean to cause you any difficulty so if you don't want to add These ideas i’ll add them and if you want you could keep checking my latest updates and see what they're like to use… And again if you are interested in something but don't feel like coding it i'll just do it and match your coding style and send it to you because I know you probably have a bunch to do over there….. It shouldn't be hard with AI tools to verify it's been matched right so I don't waste your time

    To get good female voices I have no specific advice, apart asking a friend or find a cheap actress, you can also try microsoft or google speech.

  7. Joe Morris @ FAST Animation Studio Toolz reporter

    No the thing is with the female voices I create them in replica so the actual voice isn't the issue but the actress to do the facial movements is the issue to actually have a feminine person a woman do the actual movements else i'm watching a video trying to enjoy it that has a woman character in it and I can't because I know it's me moving her IIII could tell her actions though as hard as I may try are still masculine and I couldn't enjoy the show… Is creating a Genesis 9 DMC possible is mainly what I'm getting at because you guys have a lot of information on this because for example I can create a Genesis 8.1 DMC well there is one that comes with DAZ studio and you said that the Genesis 9 use Facs like the Genesis 8.1 so I was just wondering what's the hold back in creating one you know why it hasn't DAZ studio made one yet for people is it easy is it hard are there any things I should keep an eye out for that's basically all I'm getting at

    Again that is only your personal point of view, has nothing to do with technical features.
