Hey, I'm really new to DAZ and really want to experiment with making fanart and stuff from this game because I absolutely love it. My issue is that I am just getting very lost with how to do that, like the skin and hair for Ophelia are linked in the op but nothing else.

If anyone can give me any help finding all of the assets that have been found so far for all of the characters (including Hunter and Sterling) that would be really helpful, also what settings are used to get them to look right (especially things like the breasts or facial expressions as I'm struggling with those)

I'm also struggling with posing a lot as I've downloaded some pose sets but I can't seem to figure out the fine tuning, especially when I'm trying to avoid clipping, so any help with that would be greatly appreciated. (I know this one is a more general DAZ help request but it's worth asking having seen the amazing quality of the stuff here)

here after, all what we know about power vacuum characters:

hair: https://f95zone.to/threads/trevor-hair-set-for-genesis-8-male-s.30423/

Hunter:
Char: (+ weight morph)

Catherine:

Tips:
1) Amost Characters from PW have been heavily kitbashed (if you don't know what it is, google is your freind), or modified
with some morphs, so don't expect to get the same char of the game quickly.
2) Here some Daz package to morph the face of your characters.

https://f95zone.to/threads/200-plus...ndle-for-genesis-8-female-s-and-male-s.22612/
3) all char in Power waccum have there eyes bigger than standard daz models (set eyes size to +30%)

thanks

Thank you so much for all of this it's incredibly helpful to someone who hasn't the first idea of how to figure out what assets are used where or even what they're doing in the first place.

I know it's been a while since I last asked for help, life happens, but I've gotten back to trying out some more DAZ and I'm struggling trying to figure out how to use the duf file you shared. I extracted it to the folder you reference and try loading the duf but I instead just get this error

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I believe I have all of the assets/morphs needed but it doesn't seem to want to accept it, google has not been able to be much help either as any results are often just about creating your own duf files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this will probably come in use in the future as well.

Make sure all your asset library extensions are set up? If you have those files in 3rd party assets, or whatever folder, the program will try to access them when you load a duf. there are good youtube videos for setting up a 3rd party assets library folder.

Thank you for the reply, sadly that doesn't seem to be the issue as all the morphs that it is saying are missing are there and working (some of them seem to actually be the base morphs pre installed in DAZ)

It seems to be looking for them (or at least most of them) in a specific folder named catherine_v3 within the data folder but I can't seem to figure out why it's doing that or how to fix that folder.

Could be how the files merged? I’m not too sure. But definitely seems like file path issues. I’d just check all that and the errors it throws. Good luck!

Thank you for the help. I have just thought that if I can't figure out the problem I may be able to just manually create that folder and copy the dsf files that it's looking for into it and hopefully that doesn't cause more issues.

I wouldn't suggest making duplicates of lots of the product files. If you want to manually do changes until it works right, manually change the duf file that you are loading.

Attached is the originally posted duf file, but I decompressed it (so it is now plain text), and did a text find-and-replace on all the "catherine_v3" paths to change them to "Female" (which is at least where daz has *my* G8F base female located).

I haven't looked for the required products for the character to know what I do or don't have, but it certainly loads much more than the original version for me.
