Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to your next video. I also find expressions more frustrating than posing. I prefer natural and subtle expressions than over the top one's. So, I usually start with expression dial at 100% and then start cranking it down in iray preview until I am satisfied. But that also slows down my workflow
Purchased poses are REALLY a hit-or-miss I've found, especially expressions! Even though I've been using Daz for several years (not as long as you!), I still watch your channel every week just to buck up on my knowledge of things. I pose pretty much the same you do, I never could get the hang of that ActivePose tool, for example. One tip, that I imagine you've probably covered elsewhere. SOME poses that you load not only have the character off the floor, but also put the character somewhere else entirely in the scene. The solution that works for me about 80% of the time that's in the Daz forums is holding down the CTRL key WHILE clicking on the pose. This brings up a LOAD OPTIONS dialog box, where you should UNCHECK everything in the two right-most columns (Scale and Translation), leaving just the Rotation checkbox enabled. That often solves that unfortunate issue. I can NOT get that work, however, with my own poses that I've saved myself....the character still jumps to where it wants to. Maybe there's something that I'm not doing when saving a pose to prevent that. Again, thanks for all of your tips!
I just find 'Posing' and shortcuts tabs from above much easier to fix the issue with poses and for the expression, I do same as you from Parameters otherwise they just look horrible most of the time but ever since i moved to G9, im begining to notice this G9 is better at posing/expressions in every way compared to G8 gen.
i need your help bro some of the models i download from the internet, they have expression morphs and that morphs not working even though i sliding the slider in the parameter tab nothing happening in the viewport, so i concluded problem is 3d model which i downloaded from internet. later i saw lot of images with that model with expression that totally destroyed me kindly help me out bro

Flexikeys add-on from Daz is a great help for adjusting canned poses to fit your needs. I use it all of the time.
@@johnh9018 cool, I'll look into that!
