Hey, I'd been spending more than 20hrs researching the cause of the issue I posted below.
hub.virtamate.com
This was a very very confusing bug, which happens when I make whole body morphs and rig in DAZ, and import it to VaM.
The VMI file loses its "Formulas" and the morph corrupts...
but I found out that this only occurs when the morph NAME & morph LABEL includes Japanese characters...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Steps to reproduce (if you want to... I'd never want to try it again lol)]
1. Import a body morph to DAZ with Morph Loader pro.
2. After imported, click on the gear mark of the morph slider and open the parameter settings.
3. Enter a certain Japanese character in the "Name" and the "Label". For example "これはバグを引き起こします"（This would cause a bug）
4. Use "Adjust rigging to shape" and the "ERC freeze" as usual. and export the morph asset. (dson file)
5. Do exactly the same thing from step1. to step4. but just enter the name and label ikn alphabet this time. export the morph asset.
6. Place the two dson files in \VaM_Updater\Custom\Atom\Person\Morphs\female.
7. Boot Vam and open a scene of your choice.
8. Open \VaM_Updater\Custom\Atom\Person\Morphs\female. you'll notice that Vam has generated a "VMI file" and "VMB file" for both of the dson files.
9. Compare the 2 "VMI" files. One with the Japanese name would have no "formulas", but the other one will.
One without the formulas would make the morph look corrupted in VaM, and one with the formula will work as designed.
*note: Step 3 must be done before Step4 for the reproduction. You can't reproduce this by renaming a morph which is already ERC freezed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would be nice if you could get error messages when the VMI file is not generated properly in the future!!!
I finally remembered that Japanese characters could be harmful to certain programs and cause bugs....
Question - Help! my VMI morph File is lacking its "formulas"!
Hey, I've been making custom body morphs with DAZ and Zbrush, which worked with no problem, but suddenly I started to get funny results like the picture. After several days of investigation, I found out that the previous morphs which worked, included these "formulas" in the VMI file (you can...
