12) The Genesis Rig now changes to fit the new character. Select Accept to apply the rigging changes. If the Goblin character consisted of just a head morph only, it is possible to limit the rigging changes to just the head area, by un-checking the areas that are not needed. The Goblin character is a full body morph and the default settings will be sufficient.

The user has the option to check just the areas of the character that have changed. To fix this issue, Select on Tab Options in Tool Settings, Select Edit and Adjust Rigging for Shape. Taking a look at the character's hand - it is obvious that the bones no longer fit, which explains why the fingers are getting all warped. 8) In the tool settings make sure that in the Display box the visible bones option is set to Entire Figure for now. Open up the Joint Editor and the Tool Settings tab. The scaling was linked to the child morph dial). (The default child shape on Genesis was modeled at Genesis height and the scaled down in Studio to 54 percent. If the character is meant to be much smaller or taller than the current Genesis height, scaling can be added in DAZ Studio to bring the character to the desired size.

It helps with clothing projection, making it more accurate and it is also easier making separate head and body morphs for new characters to work on Genesis. Keeping the character's size relative to the size of Genesis is also a good idea. Changing the weight maps across different characters is not an option at this time. The joints on Genesis can be modified to help offset this effect, but it is limited to moving the center points of the joints.

When the new characters elbow is bent, it would very likely warp or have other issues that would need correcting. The weight mapping will also be affected on the character when it is loaded back onto Genesis.

Let's say a few edge-loops from the elbow area were borrowed and dragged down the forearm area to create a new ridge or bulge. While modeling, try to maintain the edge-looping that defines the different body parts.Īs an example, keep the shoulder a shoulder, and keep the elbow on Genesis a elbow for the character. There are some things to keep in mind when creating a new character for Genesis.
