In the realm of digital character creation, the pursuit of creating a 3D character with a recognizable likeness has been an important endeavor. Daz 3D, a leading innovator in 3D technology, has consistently pushed the boundaries of this pursuit, and with the introduction of Face Transfer 2, we’ve taken our innovations to the next level.
Face Transfer 2 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of Daz’s Face Transfer technology, offering a suite of enhancements that elevate the art of character creation in Daz Studio to new heights. Building upon the success of its predecessor, Face Transfer 2 elevates the standard of human likeness, enabling you to craft 3D characters based on a photo with an uncanny degree of authenticity.
Unleashing Creative Potential with Genesis 9 Compatibility
A cornerstone of Face Transfer 2’s exciting capabilities lies in its seamless integration with Daz 3D’s Genesis 9 character generation system. Genesis 9 represents the latest generation of Daz 3D’s character creation technology, with 8K HD detailing, real-world proportions, and Daz’s Unified Figure system.
Face Transfer 2 interweaves with Genesis 9, ensuring that transferred facial features align with the character’s intricate facial structures. This compatibility results in an unmatched level of achievable likeness, allowing you to take a character based on a single photo and insert them into a variety of 3D scenes, from the historical to the modern and more.
Unveiling the Nuances with Enhanced Resolution
Face Transfer 2 elevates the quality of facial textures to new heights from its predecessor, employing higher-resolution texture maps to capture the details of the image. With this enhanced precision and by leveraging Daz’s existing texture maps, Face Transfer 2 can create a 3D character based on your image with a high degree of accuracy.
These high-resolution texture maps enhance your characters, imbuing them with the right details to create a 3D replica of your photo. By capturing the essence of realistic human imagery through these texture maps, we aim to make 3D character creation more enjoyable for anyone utilizing Daz Studio.
Refined Image Projection for Unparalleled Accuracy
Face Transfer 2 refines the image projection process, ensuring that textures are mapped onto Genesis 9 characters to achieve a look-a-like character. This enhanced projection algorithm minimizes distortion and artifacts, resulting in a blend between the source image and the 3D character, a marked improvement from Face Transfer 1.
Dynamic Geometry Adjustments for Enhanced Likeness
Face Transfer 2 introduces dynamic geometry adjustments, enabling the software to intelligently adapt the underlying face shape to match the transferred features. This feature lets you achieve a new level of likeness in your character from the source image by understanding the volume and shape of the face.
Improved Color Matching for Lifelike Authenticity
Face Transfer 2 employs advanced AI powered color-matching techniques to match the skin tone and color variations of the source image. This improved color matching ensures that the transferred face blends with the character’s overall complexion, creating a natural and harmonious appearance. Mix and match features with your favorite Genesis 9 characters, or create a customized version tailored to your creative needs.
Not only this but, Face Transfer 2 incorporates AI deep learning models to intelligently identify the most relevant and recognizable features from the source image. This AI-driven selection process ensures that the transferred face retains the essence of the original person while minimizing the risk of introducing unwanted or warped geometric features, an improvement from Daz’s original Face Transfer.
Automatic Facial Hair Removal
Face Transfer 2 utilizes artificial intelligence to automatically detect and remove some facial hair from the source image. This AI-powered feature eliminates the need for manual editing, saving time and effort while ensuring that the transferred face is free of any unwanted hair artifacts.
Unveiling a Dramatically Improved Shader
Face Transfer 2 introduces a dramatically improved shader that enhances the overall appearance of the transferred face compared to Face Transfer 1. This advanced shader delivers a more lifelike skin, with improved subsurface scattering, lighting effects, and skin detail. With this new and improved shader, users can get a better initial result by preserving the Genesis 9 skin shader depth and by leveraging additional skin maps.
Unleash Your Creativity with Face Transfer 2
Face Transfer 2 empowers you to unleash your creativity and create 3D characters based on a photo. You can try out hairstyles, clothing, body shapes, tattoos, and more – all backed by Daz’s Genesis 9 advancements. With its improved texture mapping, refined image projection, dynamic shaping adjustments, enhanced color matching, AI-powered facial hair removal, AI-driven feature selection, and a dramatically improved shader, Face Transfer 2 unlocks a world of possibilities for digital artists and 3D creators. Check out our latest Face Transfer 2 tutorial videos over on our Youtube – learn how to use Face Transfer 2 from scratch, add to an existing Daz Studio scene, or do both in one scene. Explore the official release of Face Transfer 2 today!
Jim says:
This would be a top of the line program if it used more than just one photo. A forward facing photo
is only going to catch some detain, but from other views it’s useless because there is no profile details.
Surly after all these years and the fact you keep charging more and more for subpar programs, that
you guys can do better. And why isn’t this a free upgrade to current Face Transfer users?
daniel pylican says:
I bought this and can’t seem to find how to get it into my daz studio. I have face transfer already but no face transfer 2? Why is that? and when I do make new characters with face transfer they have daz studio logo in their forheads.
The Admin says:
Hello! That sounds like you’re still in the trial version. Have you inputted the serial number from your purchase into Daz Studio? Check out our Youtube for a tutorial on that.
Anderson Soares says:
Hello, I need to ask a question,
I only see Face Transfer 1 installed.
Everything I have to do will only work for Genesis 8.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks! 🙂
The Admin says:
Hello! Did you input the Face Transfer 2 serial number in Daz Studio after your purchase? Genesis 8 will only work on Face Transfer 1 (Face Transfer Unlimited) vs Face Transfer 2 supports Genesis 9 characters.
CyberneticHFX says:
You are mentioning/referring to’ Face Transfer 1, but I failed to find it. You may mean, Face Transfer Unlimited, which I do have a content license for. Also, I did not find Face Transfer 2’s Trial Version.
Persy Chung says:
As you see in my capture screen, no room for me to input and I only can find face transfer but no face transfer 2 in the plugin box.

Mike Cerny says:
So, I am working on a Windows 10 workstation.
Purchased the Face Transfer 2. Downloaded the PDF of how to active the Face Transfer.
Followed the directions, but it won’t open a place to input my serial code.
Tried to remove the original Face Transfer, but that did not work.
Anything else I can try?
The Admin says:
Is your Daz Studio updated to the latest version? We would suggest also update the product, “Genesis 9 Starter Essentials”.

yatsubishi says:

I’m looking forward to it.
Michael Hirschböck says:
Hello I bought Face Transfer 2 as well but there is no possibillity to activate on MAC!! I know that the Face Transfer 1 was only for Windows but in the description of the new one there is MAC 64 bit mentioned as well possible. Whats going wrong?

ellie says:
so i have been looking all over for tutorials on how to install FaceTransfer 2 but when i go to DAZ3D it doesn’t show that it’s on there(i did purchase it tho)
The Admin says:
Make sure Daz Studio is updated to the latest version! We have Face Transfer 2 tutorials on our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC38T95wHAxyCrOO6b1tD7Nw
Mario Mendoza Vera says:
Same Anderson Soares, I only see the Face Transfer 1, I don´t find the serial key -not in the email- I have seen the youtube tutorial
Venca Page Tamila says:
Good morning. I bought a Face Transfer 2 today But you don’t show me in the Daz3D program or where to enter my key. All I have there is Face Transfer 1, which I have active and when I put the Manager installation, nothing showed up for installation. Thank you in advance for your response.
The Admin says:
To input the serial number for Face Transfer 2:
copy the serial number for Face Transfer 2 in your Daz Account by going to the Serial Numbers tab (https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/serialnumbers)
In Daz Studio, go to Help > About Installed Plugins
Find “Face Transfer 2” and enter the serial number into the text box next to it
Click “OK”
You will need to restart Daz Studio to finish registering the product
“Face Transfer 2” should be listed in About Installed Plugins if they are using the latest version of Daz Studio
If customers are only seeing “Face Transfer” after going to Help > About Installed Plugins, then most likely they will need to update Daz Studio to the latest version and check again.

Hello, when will Face Transfer 2 will be released. I don’t see it yet in plug-ins.
The Admin says:
It is released now! https://www.daz3d.com/face-transfer-2. Please update your Daz Studio to the latest version before purchase.
Marc Lussier says:
By the way, there is no option input the Face Transfer 2 serial number in Daz Studio pluggin list. Face Transfer 2 is not listed in the plugin. i have the original face tranfer unlimited activated
The Admin says:
Is your Daz Studio updated to the latest version? This could be the problem!
Homart says:
do I get this right?
The Refined Image Projection for Unparalleled Accuracy,
Dynamic Geometry Adjustments for Enhanced Likeness,
Improved Color Matching for Lifelike Authenticity,
Automatic Facial Hair Removal
and the Dramatically Improved Shader
are only available/compatible with G9?
The Admin says:
There are some inherent improvements to Face Transfer 1 because of shared code between the two plug-ins, but most of these enhancements listed only apply to Face Transfer 1
John Wright says:
Very interested in FT2. When will it run on M1 and M2 macs?
The Admin says:
We are hoping to roll this out in the future but not with this latest release.
Tim N. says:
So on the Purchase page, it is on sale for $34.97 USD. But in the description, it says it is a demo and you only get three transfers like FT1? Or is that only a demo until you manually enter a serial number?
The Admin says:
Only a demo until the serial number is entered, that’s correct.
The Admin says:
Face Transfer 2 is fully released now, purchasing it will give you access to unlimited transfers with no watermark. Just input the serial key into your Daz Studio software under the Face Transfer Pane.
chris ilkov says:
I have similar question. FaceTransfer2 has manual install, but in my purchased library I do have only option to download PDF manual and not the product.
For some reason I do not have button to download FaceTransfer2 product.
Is it included inside the main Daz3D product?… maybe I have to update my Daz3D to the latest one?
The Admin says:
Yes! You have to update Daz Studio to the latest version, at least to version 4.22.0.15
JC says:
where do I get the trial version?
The Admin says:
the trial version should be included with the latest version of Daz Studio and can be found in the Face Transfer pane. Update your Daz Studio to the latest version.
Stephen P Lee says:
Where do you input the serial number if Face Transfer 2 is not listed in “About Installed Plugins” under Help? There is not a place to input a serial number and register this item in DAZ3d, that I can find.
The Admin says:
You will need to use the latest version of Daz Studio, at least up to 4.22.0.15, to use FT2.
Jim says:
I just realized that Face Transfer 2 is only Genesis 9. Are there any enhancements for the Face Transfer tool for Genesis 8 as a result of this? Are all the changes to the transfer afforded because of Genesis 9? And this means if I want to utilize Genesis 8 at all I have to go purchase the other Face Transfer Unlimited?
The Admin says:
There have been some general fixes/tweaks that (positively) affect the Face Transfer (1) plugin as a result of improvements to shared code paths between 1/2. But unfortunately at this time, Face Transfer 2 only supports Genesis 9.
Dayradon says:
Seems to work MUCH better than FT1. One thing I would like to be able to do is choose the base MAT/Skin that is used. as the vanilla Gen9 Mat does not always meet my needs. Are the AI calculations hard coded based on the vanilla MAT, or are they performed real time? If they are done in real time, could I not replace all the vanilla Gen9 textures/Mats with the skin of my choice, then have it perform the face transfer calculations which would inadvertently use that MAT set, rather than the default? And then I could copy them all back to restore the vanilla set to Gen9. Couldn’t you code that in as an option? Select Character Mat to use for calculations (default->chosen char) copy all related mat files to a temp folder, process face transfer based on that temp dir’s selection/content? It remove my need to replace and restore the default MAT/texture file each time I want to use a different base MAT/Skin
Mike Miyasaki says:
Hi, I’m on an intel mac, and I do not see the option in the plugins for Face Transfer 2? All my plugins are green. No blanks or any box for serial number? Thanks.

Brieanna says:
When I go to input the serial number in the plug-in section, I’m not given any field to enter the number for either Face Transfer 1 or 2. What gives?

VICTOR G. OVSEY says:
The hair around eyes and makeup is being picked up. It would be nice if this was not done. It would be nice to have an option to remove eyebrows. Also shadows below the chin are also picked up on the final maps. It would be simpler to have it not show up. However, much Cudos!
Dan Stage says:
My Daz Product Library shows Face Time 2 but I don’t see
FT 2 as an installed Plugin and therefore no FT 2 pane is available. I’m running DS 2.22 and 2.21.1 on a Mac 11.7.10 (Big Sur). What gives?

You need at least DS 4.22.0.15 to use Face Transfer 2. If you still experience the problem after, contact tech support at: https://bugs.daz3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Ben says:
I have been having issues with face transfer 2 since its release. None of the transfers look anything like the photo of the person i am using. A week ago i had a friend of mine who is a professional photographer take pictures for me, and still the final render looks absolutely nothing like the person i the photo.
Carolynn says:
When will we be able to include more photos? A front face is fine, but without profile face photos the details will be lacking. The release of Transfer 2 is nice with the new improvements…. but come on, still no options for including profile photos. Definitely not worth the money. I am very upset that I purchased this.
