How to find and load the G8.1 FASC face controller interface in DAZ Studio 4.21.x.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> You first install Genesis 8 Starter Essentials pack, if you have not already done so. It should be in your Library at the DAZ store. Possibly you have not installed this since before Genesis 8.1 was introduced, so you need to do it again — it now also includes the 8.1 stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are chunky downloads, and will take a while for those on slow connections. Extract the .ZIP and install as usual. Those with an install manager may do things differently, but this is the old-school way.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Load Genesis 8.1 from the DAZ Library (you do this from Genesis 8 Female or Male<\/em> folder, not<\/strong> the 8.1 folder<\/em>, for some reason).<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> In the Genesis 8 | Developer Kit<\/em> folder…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> … you will find the FACS (face controls interface) loader icon, the one with the powder-blue background…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Load this to a default Genesis 8.1 figure. You don’t need to first select the Head. In the hierarchy list you will now see that a FACS interface has been added.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Switch the DAZ Studio UI over to the Posing \/ Shaping<\/em> tab, and the controls will become visible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In practice, though, they appear to be far more trouble that they’ve worth. The huge main problem being that it’s very difficult<\/strong> to easily select each face controller ‘chip’, by simply clicking on it. 90% of the time, no matter what selection movement-type you have activated up-top…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… the attempt to select a face control chip by clicking on it fails to do or activate anything. Sometimes it selects and lets you work with it, but most of the time it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter where you click — the arrow, the plus sign, or exactly on the wireframe wire — most times nothing happens.<\/p>\n

The alternative option of using the control sliders, which are alongside and do the same thing for each control chip, works fine. Though there you have the hassle of scrolling up and down the big list, and trying to work out what each control name refers to on the face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
