Configuring Morph Properties

Once your morph is loaded into Daz Studio, you may want to configure its properties, change where in the parameters hierarchy it is located, etc. This is how:

1. Locate Your Morph

Your more will appear in the Genesis 3 hierarchy tree where ever you told it to in the previous steps (by setting the Property Group value).

1. Select the Genesis 3 Figure.
2. Expand the Parameters Tab.
3. Navigate to the appropriate Property Group.

For my example, I set the Property Group to “ZBrush” and the name of the morph to “Liz Head 2.0.”

• Name: This is what the file name will be called when the morph is saved (typically, full head morphs start with FHM, full body morphs start with FBM, and partial body morphs start with PBM).
• Label: This is the name of the morph that will be shown inside Daz Studio’s parameters pane.
• Path: This is where you set where in the Parameters hierarchy your morph will be found.
• Type: This is a field that Daz Studio uses for certain organizational processes and can be ignored by the average user. Modifier/Shape is fine for most scenarios. PAs will sometimes change the type for Joint Corrective morphs, etc.
• Color A, Color B, and Card: These are all relatively self-explanatory through a little experimentation. Use them to change the presentation of your morph.
• Icon: To be honest, I’m not sure what this changes, but it’s commonly left at the default of None.
• Most of the other settings are pretty much self-explanatory.

A lot of times for FHMs and FBMs you’ll want to set the Min value to 0.

• Auto-Follow is best left checked, I can’t think of a scenario where you would want to uncheck it, off the top of my head. It basically tells figure assets, like clothing and hair to follow the morph, so they’ll in most cases fit better.
• The bottom three tabs: Sub-Components, Controllers, and Keys are advanced settings and usually only messed with during content creation beyond what the average user will usually require for most of their figure customization.
