Parts of the hands stopped working (red color) on this particular model, how can I fix this?

At first everything worked fine, but some position broke these parts of the hands (red), they are not painted, the bones in the hands remained. I even reinstalled DAZ and it didn't help.

Hi,

I'm not sure I am following. But I think you might want to give this a shot, and see if after doing that, everything reverts to normal.


1. Load your base figure (the Genesis 8 Basic Female) or the developer version.


2. Zero the figure
Menu Edit>Figure>Zero>Zero Figure


3. Memorize the figure
Menu Edit>Figure>Memorize>Memorize Figure


4. File->Save As->Support Asset->Save Modified Assets

Now the base model (the Genesis 8 Basic Female) has this problem

:cry: I'm sorry that happened. Do you know how to save scene subsets? Could you load your Basic Genesis 8 Female figure and then save it to a scene subset (include just the figure herself and her children nodes in the scene subset, nothing else), so that you can then upload it here for me to have a look on my end?

[...] they are not painted, [...]
What do you mean by "painted" ?
In what mode and with what kind of preview for the viewport ?
How this issue translate on renders ?

The controller (forearm bend) is missing, all other parts of the body are working. P.S English is not my language, the translator may not translate correctly

Check this first

You said you re-installed daz but I am guessing you didn't clear all the files stored in your My library folder.

If you don't want to full clear the data you could start by re-installing Genesis 8 Base manually.
If that doesn't work I would clear the My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8 folder and install G8 again.
(This will delete any charters Victoria etc you would need to install those again)

Missing isn't the word, because on your screenshot it's clearly visible in the list of bones on the "scene" panel.
Do the lack of "painting" happen when you try to select it directly from the viewport, or also when you select it from the "scene" panel ?
And is it just a lack of "painting" or are you also prevented to move the forearm ?

In the "scene" I can manipulate these bones (forearm bend) but in the preview I can't

On the DAZ forum they wrote to me that this could be a QUOTE "There was an issue with JCMs (morphs that correct the shape as it is posed) but that was fixed twomyears ago "2022-03-23 - JCM files were renamed as they were overwriting base figures JCMs."" but I don’t understand anything about it

Well, the most probable cause is that something is between the camera and the bone you want to select, preventing Daz to correctly identify the target. Try moving the preview camera until you find a correct angle.

Reinstalling DAZ helped fix this problem on ( Genesis 8 Basic Female ) not on this model

Reinstaling Daz include reinstalling G8. I think you should not investigate your figure which was broken mysteriuos way (can be Daz error, or unintentional using hotkey or sth else). Probably you can fix it, but it takes a lot of time.
Faster way - Load your broken figure ans save shape and materials.
Later delete it and load base G8F (or G8.1F), apply saved shape and material to loaded base G8.

JMCs are very important, but hard to create. They fix, improve figure shape in particular poses. Generally (but not always) they are morphs activated by particular pose and particular shape. For example some jmc create stomash deformation only if there are active abdomen bend morph and heavy shape. Jmc value can be multiplication of abd bend value x heavy shape value.
