Morphs in Zbrush 4 Poser

[dRaCX]

nice mini tut DracX .......can see you used sculpting for morphs .....hows blender stack up against Zbrush ?...........not that I will be buyin Zbrush unless I get a win on lottery rofl
is only for interest


couple of things ........on import you need poly groups checking if u have more then one body part
eg for a FBM
and if u have NOT deleted the light an cam (you have lost the cube haven't u  lol )
best to have only selected ticked too for export

Thank you. Though Blender has come a long way and is second to none for an all-in-one modeling/gaming package....it isn't fair to compare it to a sculpting program designed just for that purpose based on a few sculpting options added to Blender. They are good yes, as good as ZBrush? - No!

I didn't touch on the poly groups checking for the simple reason that in this example it wasn't necessary. I have Blender set up to load clean, no lights, cam, or anything. I like building from a blank slate! I have Poser and ZBrush set up the same way....I have always done this. It's how I roll!

Thanks, yeah Silo doesn't have any pop up tick boxes on import so its probably how I exported from poser.
I only use the translate, rotate and scale tools when making a morph as I don't trust the others to add/remove bits

You're very welcome, I hope it helped! Blender doesn't have pop-up options for import/export, they show up on the side panel when undertaking one of the options...I placed them like that to show clearly the options to untick.

But yeah, if you exported the obj out of Poser any other way than shown here then the problem most likely began from moment one. But as heddheld suggested...screenshots make it easier to spot any problems.

So screen grabs
PoserEx= What I did to export to Silo
SiloIm=Loading the obj in Silo to work on
SiloEx= Saving out of Silo
PoserIm= Trying to load the morph in poser and the error message


All I did was move some points around. Not sure where to look for vertex count so can't say on that right now

well you got me stumped .........hope DracX has some ideas 


did get wrong vertex but was my fault ........used miki 4 and her lashes was sep obj and I exported by accident .......but sorted


also tried with and without zeroing doll but that didn't seem to make any dif


any chance u can try with a dif modeler......blender / wings whatever
maybe then we can blame silo lol 

I just pulled all other modelers I had to clean up the pc.

I'm glad you posted the screens, now I see what you're doing wrong!

It's not a Silo problem, just follow the images I'm posting and you'll be on your way to making morphs that work!

Did just what you showed me and got the same error message

Well then it is a Silo problem after all. Must be changing the verts upon saving. I don't really know anything about Silo, so I have no idea if there is any options that would prevent it. I'll look into it though.

Hmmm...this is a bit odd. I just ran a search for creating morphs for Poser and Daz characters in Silo and no matter how I word it...it comes up empty! Not 1 single hit on the subject.

Makes me wonder if you can do it in Silo.

Huh that is odd. Maybe I just might have to bite the bullet and try to learn another program I know a few folks use Silo for making stuff, guess I just automatically thought it would do morphs too. I never thought to do a specific search for Poser+Silo morphing, just generic how to's
