yo sorry for such a long video but I just wanted to make this series a bit more beginner friendly this time. Also, I meant to add a longer section on different hairstyles but the video was already an hour long so I will make a part two with more hair styles (dreads, braids, cornrows, etc). I appreciate all of your support.
thanks alot bro
Thank you so much😊
Can you use face gen for Mac book?
@@SimmyFilmedit unfortunately facegen is only for windows at the moment. You can download my character kit, which has pre made templates.

Hey sal can we expect a full length tuitorial on synth reto wave (car palm tree animation ) like your adidas vid
And car animation video
Man , would love it
U gained a. Sub anyway
This is not a long video! Regardless you would’ve had to split it up… this will make a lot of artist and it will break some, but this is good content right here. I’ve been waiting for this exact video!
glad you liked it and found it helpful!
this is gold bro, im definitely watching this one
Incredible work, thank you!
This is exactly what I needed
Wow, this was a great video. I’ve been trying to use Facegen, Blender & Studio but haven’t been able to get the likenesses I’m trying to get
omg thanks a lot this video is really helpful ❤❤❤
Thanks again for this tutorial! Quick question though.. I'm stuck when it comes to the step process of the animation itself and the hair. Do we need to complete the hairstyle before the Mixamo animation or is it okay afterwards? When I imported my Mixamo character and link the materials, I only have the materials, so how could I add the hair to the new copy of the character with the animation?
Yeah so that’s why I prefer to do the hair after I animate it. You’ll need to either move your scalp mesh from your old character to your new characters to the new character. Or you’ll need to just redo the hair again.
I used daz native version of facegen and it worked fine except it had the logo on the head skin so I blurred it out and replaced it after importing in blender and it worked good except it worked good with the daz to blender bridge. I’m trying to follow your steps using the diffeormorphic but I can’t seem to replace the skin texture after it’s been imported to blender. I’ve been stuck trying to
my GOAT!
keep it up my bro🔥
thank you!
My guy🤝😌
I have recently been introduced to the face builder plugin for blender and snap the images on the mold, add color texture, without hopping from software to software. The downside is it’s not full body.
GOAT!
Thank youuu bro 😍😍
brother, I can't sculpt the mesh after importing my mixamo avatar. When I go to editing mode the mesh goes behind the avatar
nice ty
u r amazinggggg
1:46 hello, do you know why can't i log in to daz3d? it's always said "Connecting to DAZ 3D requires a valid connection to a PostgreSQL CMS databese. A database connection could not be established". Your answer will help me a lot, Thanks!
can we use daz3d for clothes and hair i have lots of character i dont want to make hair in blender for all people
i have a issue when i link materials, the uvs of the mixamo models are bad i dont know why
I'm having some issues uploading my custom Genesis 8 character to Mixamo. Mixamo will let me load the character up and rig it but after I rig it. The character disappears, not showing the basic animation is working. I press continue anyway and my character shows up but wont let me add any Mixamo animations to the character. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Interesting. Never had this issue but mixamo can be a bit glitchy sometimes. I’m assuming you took out the subdivision modifier in blender first?
can we do facial animation w this?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hello! Best tutorial of all, but I most like music in the background. What is the name of the music?
Haha thank you. Honestly I don’t remember the music name but I believe It’s just an ambient dark texture sound
i use daz studio 4.22 ...when i try to lognin i face no database found error ....how to fix this pls help
hey brother, thank you so much for your content, been doing this tutorial for a few days now, im having a issue exporting alembic from marvelous designer can you help me with that?
when i export alembic and import into blender i only get the zippers and buttons, all the clothes are not exporting
This only happens if i select "thick" when exporting, maybe because it has the option to weld everything, im not sure...
Diffeomorphic for 1.7.2 version doesn’t work for blender 4.1
thanks for letting me know!
I have returned with more questions. Firstly, how can I resize the character in blender? I can’t seem to find how to resize the character with the eyelashes, whenever I select the eyelashes they refuse to move. Secondly, is this method compatible with the human plug-in? I’m not really sure how it works, if it just applies a displacement or if it completely places over the textures that faceGen generated.
in the transform properties (where it shows the location, rotation and scale) those properties are locked by default (there is small lock icon) unlock them first and then you should be able to scale your character. Not sure about human plug-in, I haven't used it personally.
@@salfolio you are so awesome
hey brother, i cant see the option export to blender. what can do for that to go ahead??
when inputting the textures, mine has body and head instead of torso, and there are no textures for it.
I Figured it out, I selected 8.1 instead of gen 8
hey bro im faacing a problem whem im trying to export alembic file in blender it closed automatically how to fix this problem please help !!!!
same bro, when i done it day after it worked, i don t know the fix
@@andrej908 did u find the solution brother ????
Epic tut bro. Just wondering when i parent my clothes, avatar, lights, camera etc to the empty, when i move the empty everything moves with it but the animation bends the avatar as i move it. How do i fix this? ps. also bought your avatar pack.
legend thank you bro I appreciate it! Make sure you only parent the rig to your character not the actual avatar
@@salfolio Got it working. Beautiful workflow.
Hey man amazing crash course but there is a little problem with mine and I'm not sure if its because my blender version is not compatible with the Daz importer addon but every time i add the addon to blender and try to click on the box to check it, it keeps saying "report error: traceback" I'm not really sure why that is and i could use a little bit of incite if you are available.
Try using blender 3.5. For some reason some blender versions (especially above 4.0) have a lot of issues with the add on.
@@salfolio Hey man thank you very much for the info but i tried it and it says the same thing "report error: traceback" im really unsure of what that means what should i do next?
@@y7hfr are you using genesis 8? Or 8.1? I’ll look into it as well
@@salfolio Genesis 8
Please link the shoe model and add time stamps to the video thanks
I can’t link shoe models if they aren’t made by me. You can find a ton of models online. But I’ll def add time stamps!
@@salfoliocan you provide the link where it is sold? I’m not asking you to give it for free
@@BuggsOp ahh yes! Sorry misunderstood you. So the shoes I used in this animation I got from BlenderKit (paid version) so there isn’t really a link for it. But you can also go on cgtrader or turbosquid and search for shoes there.
yooo im the guy who reach out to u on ig to make this i've been waiting for so long thank q
yo sorry it took so long lol
When I got to shaping tehn click actor i dont see any bodybuilder details
You probably don’t have your character selected
How do I do that?
@@amerio00 In the selector menu at the top right. Make sure you have your character selected
can there be mouth movement?
there can be but it takes some time to configure
@@salfolio okay....and thanks for sharing this video, its awesome
any alternatives to rig gns?
Honestly, it’s not even necessary. You can find workarounds if you do a bit of digging
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
how do u add hair
Have you watched the whole video? Lol
@@salfolio my bad ..was just at the middle of the video then being curious i skipped to the end and found the result with no hair so yeah 😂 just got a lil too excited
A Minorrrr
corny
can i replicate this workflow for free or do i need to buy plugins or applications to get the same results as you?
Great question. I'm sure there are other ways to do it for free but I'm not fully sure what those workflows look like. I've gotten pretty used to this workflow so I haven't explored many other options
@@salfolio is facegen (130$) the only plugin in need to purchase or is there more? (i can use mixamo for free because of the adobe cloud abo i got)
Awesome tutorial. I have a huge problem: in the Rig-GNS part, when i hit the "bind" button, everything works great except something in the head its getting attached to the original position of the character. Anyone know what's causing it?
Do you accept commissions?
Message me on ig @salfolio
Are in cycles ?
Yes
yea, easy peasy, just spend 1000/month and you good to go to create character lol
