I wish I  could give it to you--I found it in my downloads and reinstalled it. That was how I was able to create the face profiles.  You'll have to write DAZ to get the link, but don't hold your breath. No one who has asked so far has been assisted by DAZ. Indeed, Reallusion was the one that helped us find solutions--Not DAZ--PM me if you want to know what I think  is going on behind the scenes...

You're not getting me--if he didn't  have any FBX's  from 4.9.1 already on hand, he'd be screwed--that's what I mean. Of course if he had FBX characters from the previous DAZ   versions he'd be okay--it's exporting something new that is the issue.  In other words, if he was just starting with  4.9.2, and that is all he had on hand, without those work arounds, he'd be screwed without Vaseline in the woods with dueling banjos playin' and in some cases, losing money and clients.

Another thing--he won't be safe if  he hasn't exported pervious characters or saved profiles. 

None of the fixes mentioned involved previously exported characters and saved profiles?
Read again?

As to my 'relatively minor', ref = minor fix
(cheap and quick only costs 3 minutes)
hope that's clearer? cheers :)

All fixes given are ONE TIME
and relatively independent from what bad stuff Daz Studio did or will one day do on their side! ;)

I  would  agree   with  you   on all you said with the exception that there is no such thing as a minor issue when stuff will not work the way it should--especially if money or time frames are on the line.  I've lost clients based on so called minor  DAZ screw ups.

That means I lost a paycheck--it's one of the reasons I can't stand their let them eat cake  attitude and feel they have the worst customer service in this business.

Another thing--he won't be safe if  he hasn't exported pervious characters or saved profiles.  The reason why this was an issue is that the FBX broke the data stream--so once pulled in you couldn't...could not...create a face profile...

I've installed what I thought was the latest Daz on May 5th, this is the reason why I ask.

Mostly likely you have 4.9.2.7.
In any case you are safe:
as I detailed earlier in this topic:
even if you're stuck with DS4.9 latest - there are MULTIPLE fixes to the relatively minor issue

All fixes given are ONE TIME
and relatively independent from what bad stuff Daz Studio did or will one day do on their side! ;)

Anyway, to keep the clarity

Thread Summary: the various fixes to "Daz FBX update breaking auto-assignment of imported Gen1/2 morphs)

1. The 30 minutes to 1 hour fix
Assign the imported viseme/ muscles to their respective 3DX slots
Save the face anim profile
Save the character profile
Done.
No more worrying about evil DS until you choose to update DS.
You can do this yourself one time (I would because I ALWAYS redo morphs)

2. the even faster one time EXTRACTION solution, which I've already offered earlier



the "iCloned Genesis" path
- Load one of the Genesis character from iClone to 3DXchange
- Save a copy of 3dxAnimProfile in Expression Editor
- Save your new copy of Genesis Character Profile
You can now load that profile to your future imported 4.9 Genesis
Done. 3 minutes job, you get your Genesis pipeline back. Smile


3. OR if you don't have 3 minutes
or no Character Resource Pack with iCloned Genesis
you can download the EXTRACTED profiles from LuvLee

4. OR you can try Catlady's fab FBX dll edit (not legal to share; also may affect DS export FBX to other apps)

I hate I/O breakage too
but I also appreciate the challenge of dev teams, RL or Daz3D making a format they do not own to work
and they will make their FBX work - not just with iClone, but with even higher traffic Daz Genesises to Lightwave C4D Max Blender
It is in both companies interest to have Genesis 1/2/3 FREE to use and spread as widely as possible
not for charity but for healthy mutually-supporting economy
so let's do out part and keep the symbiosis happening
know iClone 3DX pipeline inside out
know Daz Studio and Genesis technology inside out
try to understand what catlady means when she said
1. Genesis 3 is the best match with Daz -iClone pipeline
2. Genesis 1/2 vertex order change relevance to your Daz Genesis exporting pipeline, and planning against that pitfall

Cheers :)

I know right--I just got an email today from them regarding -- quote:

The FBX bugs have been fixed in a forthcoming version of DS according to the change log, but the fixes will of course need checking and there may well be other changes that need to be added before an update can be issued as a Public Beta or Release build.

***

In other words--we have no idea how long it will take before we get this out to you guys...;-/

Thanks good to know. Thanks. I won't update then. What a pain that would have been for me I bought iclone to speed up certain processes with some Daz characters I'm animating, I'm already frustrated enough with what I have to get done under the time frame I have to work under.
