Team-Dystopia has been dormant in the marketplace for a while, but we’ve recently released Weapons Cache 1 and Weapons Cache 2 here at DAZ 3D.

Here is a link to a quick low-resolution animation I did to show how versatile one of the weapons in our package can be. The Baradum Assault Rifle weapons system is just one of the many weapons we have bundled together into these packages.

We’ve got a beam weapon, a mini-gun, an anti-materiel sniper rifle, a compact close-quarters weapon, infantry support weapon, a pulse weapon, and the assault rifle weapons system. We’ve thrown in various attachments and accessories that allow for interoperability, plus several texture sets to choose from — a standard black, a generic green, a basic sand… and of course we had to do a hot pink version.

I wonder why I’m not listed as a DAZ PA?

Thank you so much for returning with such a nice gift!
And… it seems the new forums are not equipped the PA Thing the old forums had… I guess it will be implemented later on though

You are listed as a PA, if you check your profile which you can check by clicking the button under your avatar

The new forum doesn’t (yet) have an equivalent of a My Products button. You can put a link to your store in your signature as a stop-gap.

Dystopia is back…yay…instant buy as always and thanks for the updated free ones

TOYS!!

lots & lots of LETHAL TOYS!!!

with SPTs, too! And stuff that goes SPLODY-BOOOOOM!

*snatch*

Just what my dragons have been looking for…THANKIES!

I downloaded Weapons Cache 1 and they look great. Unfortunately, DS 4.5 crashes on render when any of the weapons are in the scene. I even tried rendering just one of the weapons and this happened. Any advice for correcting this?

I can’t think of any reason it would crash. They are pretty straight forward figures and textures. I’ll try to find some time to look into it this weekend.  Things are kinda crazy at the moment.

Thank you for looking into. I’m going to keep experimenting. If I figure something out I’ll let you know.

Thank you for not forgetting about us. It’s great to be back in the swing of things. Still buried by a huge backlog mountain, but we are slowly digging our way out from under the projects list.

We’re already working on several new products… so don’t be surprised if something else comes out shortly.

Looks like DS doesn’t like my PNG files that I used for bump maps.

You can detach the bump map as a workaround until I can get it fixed.

OK I can confirm the crash in DS 4.0.3.47as well some one else is looking at this as well but we think its the .png that cause the crash

I tried removing the bump map after loading it and still had the issue. I was able to render the minigun by renaming the png files and then loading the gun.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

The problem is that the PNG is in 4bit color mode.  If you make it 16bit color, or even 24bit color, DS handles it just fine.  Same for if you convert it to a JPG.

ETA: Note, it’s not DAZ Studio that’s crashing.  It’s 3Delight/TDLMake that’s crashing.

Thank you!

I just resaved the png files and they are working perfectly. Time to play!
