<\/a><\/p>\n1.<\/strong> Get the free Daz Studio G8_OpenPoseRig V1.0<\/a>. The end result is intended for Stable Diffusion’s ControlNet \/ Posenet module, which accepts images of poses in the Openpose format. <\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> Once unzipped and manually merge-installed to the DAZ top-level content<\/em> folder, open DAZ Studio and find G8_OpenPoseRig in the Library. It’s not under People | G8 Female<\/em>. Instead it’s under Figures | Rogue Pilot | Open Pose Rig<\/em>. Great if you know that, but almost un-findable if you don’t.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Load the G8F via !FullScene<\/em> and switch the DAZ Studio viewport’s real-time rendering to Smooth Shaded. Apply a pose. Add another figure, if you want a two-person picture from SD. Tweak the bone positions in Posing \/ Shaping, if required. You can also load a proper G8F alongside, to see the pose on a more human figure.<\/p>\n Ideally you’ll then render this special Openpose skeleton at the standard SD image-generation size of either 512px, 768px (for SD 1.5) or 1024px (for SDXL), output to a .PNG file. It doesn’t matter if figures are highlight-selected or if viewport widgets are visible. The viewport clutter won’t be in the render.<\/p>\n (Yes, they look like .BVH stick-figures, but are not. So far as I can tell the only way to convert .BVH to Openpose is by dropping the .BVH onto this special G8F and then rendering a frame).<\/p>\n 4.<\/strong> That’s it. Drag and drop the .PNG render into your ControlNet’s input window. Your subsequent Stable Diffusion image generation will then, assuming you have a suitable workflow and a pose-aligned prompt, ‘more or less’ conform to the figure poses in your Openpose guide-image. It’s not going to be exact, the Openpose being more of a guideline for SD. (If you want ‘exact’ you instead need Bondware Poser 12 or 13, and drop a Firefly lineart render into a Canny Controlnet, then use a low CFG with Img2Img using a full render).<\/p>\n Expressions are instead controlled with a prompt, and perhaps guided by the addition of a LORA. SD is weak at generating several things, and subtle controllable expressions is one of them. <\/p>\n Note the comment on the G8_OpenPoseRig page asking for this freebie to be updated for ControlNet 1.1, which he says can handle finger-bones and thus hands. This freebie doesn’t support these 1.1 style hands, and it hasn’t yet been updated for them. Thus… for 1.1+ hands support you would instead need Poser 12 or 13 with Ken’s paid OpenPose for Poser 12<\/a> plugin script.<\/p>\n Note that Ken’s scripts are encrypted and thus require Windows 10 or higher. Note also that Poser 12 can currently be had for $29<\/a>.<\/p>\n Free scripts and workflows to convert older poses to G8F:<\/strong><\/p>\n Many old poses in .PZ2 Poser format can just be drag-dropped to a G8, and may be ‘good enough’. But if you need more precise conversion, try…<\/p>\n V3\/A3 Pose Transfer to G8F<\/a> (Victoria 3, Aiko 3). Also try these scripts<\/a>.<\/p>\n V4\/A4 Pose Transfer to G8F<\/a> (Victoria 4, Aiko 4).<\/p>\n G1F Pose Transfer to G8F<\/a> (Genesis 1)<\/p>\n G2F Pose Transfer to G8F<\/a> (Genesis 2).<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
