believe me i know your pain. Not in that exact context, i dont have c4d, but ive tried making a daz rig in 3ds max and just got frustrated after wiring 50 parameters and some of the bone root positions were slightly off. Make matters worse, I still havent figured out a working export workflow, fbx always has reference coordinate system issues and obj cant do timeline anims
yes. fbx can be tricky at times. when i import daz fbx files all the joints/bones usually have a local and global rotation of 0,0,0 (in a-pose) This can be realigned. by disabling the skin.. use a realign tool, update the pose and enable the skin again.
I've only ever seen one other dev mention using C4D, but they ultimately ended up moving to Blender instead, so they probably never got this deep with it.
If such a process or template doesn't currently exist, you could probably sell a tute video or something. Might make it a bit more palatable.
Sell it to who? the other guy on this forum whom uses C4D
Well, there is always Gumroad, Renderhub, or something like that I suppose.Sell it to who? the other guy on this forum whom uses C4D

Unless there is some morph working there, it appears as though you have use meshgrabber or something like that.
They already suggested meshgrabber (in that case, check you have not forgotten meshgrabber active, in any case, you can try reactivating it and telling it to reset the changes) or morphs, but about morphs, remember also to check for hidden ones, and to check in the used morphs category in the parameters when you load the figure - sometime "parasite" morphs are not even hidden, but if you have too many, it may be difficult to see them in the full list.
I do have a lot of morphs, switching the parameters to "Show hidden" was one of the first things I did. The Mesh Grabber is new one because I don't even use it. I'm going to uninstall it anyway, just to be safe.
Good luck, I hope you can figure it out.
It's almost certainly a rogue morph. Mesh Grabber will never do something like this on its own.
If the morph isn't even showing up then what are the options besides manually uninstalling everything until I find the bug?
You're just going to have to sift through the "show hidden" (under the "Currently Used" option) until you find it. If this is relatively recent, I suppose uninstall the morphs/models recently installed might also do it. Though far more tedious than just doing it via Currently Used.
I ran into that with the Erevan and Demona. They would apply at 100% by default, so if you look for used morphs, you would not see it.
Thanks for pointing that out. Many this is the universe telling me that I have too many Gen 8 morphs. Because whatever it is, it's not showing up even with "Shown Hidden" checked.
That's the worrisome part. I've already checked the currently used tab with the "Show hidden" tab checked and still haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.
Good luck.
Also, if everything else fails, there's a procedure that should reset one generation of figures (Genesis 9, G8M, G8F, etc.) to their default state. I used this method once soon after I started using Daz and it worked perfectly in my case. But be aware that I've also met someone in these forums that claimed that in their case it only made things worse. So if you apply it, don't blame me if something goes wrong.
