Updated tutorial to fitting custom eyelashes to Genesis figure

Summary

The tutorial demonstrates the creator’s updated method for fitting custom eyelashes to a Genesis 8 figure in DAZ Studio. The presenter notes that this may not be the only or definitively correct method, but it produces good results.

Workflow

1. Load the figure and custom eyelashes

   • The Genesis female figure already has a morph applied.
   • Import the custom eyelashes.

2. Transfer rigging

   • Transfer rigging from the Genesis 8 eyelashes to the custom eyelashes.
   • Use these settings:
     • Set both Current Shape and Item Shape to Custom.
     • Select Closest Vertex.
     • Enable Use Near Vertices and set it to 100.
     • Enable Adaptive Tolerance.
     • Untick the options that would parent the custom eyelashes to the original Genesis 8 eyelashes.
   • Accept the transfer, then delete the original eyelashes if they are no longer needed.

3. Set the eyelash compatibility information

   • Set Scene Identification → Compatibility Base to Female Eyelashes.
   • Set Preferred Base to Genesis 8 Female.
   • The presenter says these settings match those used for the Genesis 8 Female eyelashes.

4. Fit the custom eyelashes

   • Fit the custom eyelashes to the Genesis 8 figure.
   • A figure morph may cause the eyelashes to move out of place. Select the eyelashes and remove the corresponding morph dial—such as the head morph in the example—to realign them.

5. Optionally parent the eyelashes to the head

   • Parenting the eyelashes under the figure’s Head is optional; the presenter does this for organization.
   • Once fitted, the eyelashes should follow the head and respond to eye-related movement and morphs.
