Morphs Not Working After Reinstall
Hello,
I had a hard drive crash on an older Windows 7 machine and had to do a complete reistall on that machine. I am running DS 4.11 on it and while I can see all my content in Content Library and it all appears to load, with textures, no item will load morphs (figure, hair, clothing). In the test scene attached I have Cathy HD loaded but the morphs aren't there even though the sliders under Shaping are at 100%. I can set the sliders to 0% and there is no change. Part of log entry is below but I have the whole log attached in a screen shot. I am probably missing something obvious but any help would be greatly appreciated.
WARNING: ..\..\..\..\..\src\sdksource\fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(5759): Could not find output property for formula: Genesis3Female:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%203/Female/Morphs/Raiya/Cathy/FBMCathy.dsf#FBMCathy?value in file : /data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%203/Female/Morphs/Raiya/Cathy/CTRLCathy.dsf#CTRLCathy

Have you double-checked that you have re-added all your libraries? Maybe it's just when I installed Daz, but the install process created 2 Daz Format libraries (Library & "My Library") rather than just one.
How do you install your content? DIM or Daz Connect (installing within Daz Studio while logged in)? I assume by "complete reinstall" you also re-installed all your Daz content (as apposed to copying it over from a different drive). If so, did you re-install Victoria 7 as that is a pre-requisite for Cathy HD?
If you install things manually, did you definitely put the morph files in the correct location - in addition to re-installing V7 correctly?
I install manually and use the zips instead of using DIM or Daz Connect and I didn't copy/clone off a different drive to reinstall. Victoria 7 is installed as in the images I attached, you can see her slider in the Shaping tab but even her morph isn't loaded and that shows on the log image. It is only the base Genesis 3 Female that seems to actually load. Below are my pathways:
DS 4.11 Program install: F:/Program Files/DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4
Content Install: F:/Users/Darrell/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library
The morphs for Genesis 3 and Victoria 7 are in:
F:/Users/Darrell/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/Content/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/ Morphs/DAZ 3D
The morphs for Cathy HD are in:
F:/Users/Darrell/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/Content/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/ Morphs/Raiya
The morph files do appear in those folders but for some reason when I load the figure/s the load process isn't seeing them. Also, I don't get an error message on the screen that deltas or anything could not be found. It is very weird because I have a very simple setup. I only use Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 figures now, no legacy characters or Poser content.
Does Genesis 3 & Genesis 8 content rely on any of the previous Genesis figures for base files, SDK, etc? I didn't install Genesis or Genesis 2 this time as I don't use them any longer.
Oh. Get rid of the "Content" folder. You need to move everything inside there to the root of your library.
e.g. Your morphs must be in "F:/Users/Darrell/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/ Morphs/DAZ 3D" & "F:/Users/Darrell/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/ Morphs/Raiya" - them being in the Content subfolder will mean they are not being found.
That was it! I knew it had to be something simple. Thanks for your help SofaCitizen.
