rx::ci::^Premier -

into the filter box at top-right should show the Premier add-ons and allow them to be installed, assuming that you have the Download Filters set to include plug-ins.

Once installed, open Daz Studio and log in to your account (Connect>Login..., for the plug-in/feature activation you do not need to update metadata though you do if you also wish to download the content that is tied to your membership; that does not include the free bundles, which are not tied to remaining a member). You should then be prompted to restart Daz Studio.

Once DS is running you can find the new add-ons in the following locations:

• Geometry Sculptor shows up in the Tools menu (remember that, like other content creation tools, it disables any GeoGraft's mesh hiding and won't show interpolated hairs for dForce/Strand Based Hair)
• Pose Converter shows up in Edit>Figure>Pose
• Shape Transfer shows up in Edit>Figure>Shape
• DForce Manager shows up in Simulation Settings pane / Manage
• Render Queue shows up on Render Settings pane / Queue

I even tried fixing the 50 renders I still have to do with a different skin texture on Prudence. This also didnt work. Not even spot rendering works.

So now i opened the last .duf file of the render that worked and did a spot render and it worked. So I assumed ok this time it will work and i then changed camera angles and did some slight pose moves and saved it as a new file. Then I tested this with the different camera angle and a spot render and guess what.................... "Retrieving Geometry" sits there and mocks me. OH by the way leaving it on "retrieving geometry" for 2h45min isnt exacly a solution. 99% of my renders I do, take 40-50min to complete.

So i guess my conclusion is "I am confused" I can't say Genesis 9 Female Prudence isnt working as I did a lot of renders with her in it. In the same location as the renders now giving me issues. Nothing basically changed apart from camera angels and poses.

And this problem is happeing with same files on both my pc's so its not a pc issue. I'm starting to think of dumping Genesis 9 crap and keep using Genesis 8 which I know works.

The first script, Limbstick for G3-G8, shows missing files. I installed the files manually and placed them in separate folders, but this method only works until I end my session, and not all the time.

The second script, Tackyfeet, does not download through the installation manager. When I try to download it manually, the files are missing.

"What’s Included and features

Trial version

Three transfers (the watermark is removed when saved)

After the three saves, a watermark is no longer removed

Watermarked Preview”

So did I buy a trial version?

When I try to copy something in the timeline for animation purposes, it copies EVERYTHING keyed in, and makes everything take several minutes of stalling when copying anything. All 0.0% morphs, expressions etc are copied over. The only thing I have found that helps, is to MANUALLY remove all of the keyed in values not needed on the timeline before copying. Is there an easier way of doing this or does a script exist for that purpose?

Also, why is it like this?

(I am saving characters as subscenes, because they have geografts, props, shells and other stuff attached which I am not inclined to add with every load)

Suddenly, ANY camera movement results in tumbling. I have created a brand new scene, new camera, put a model in the scene and focused on a null object exactly as I have forever. I then move the head to a different frame and move the camera. When I play the animation, the camera is tumbling. I have closed and reopened Daz. I have deleted and created everything from scratch... I have tried it with every possible axis selected, thinking that maybe it was referencing something wrong...

Daz has become literally unusable for me. HELP!

ChatGPT is unsurprisingly no help. I have not seen this in the forum, though I may not be searching the right words...

I really love kobe , jordan and all that and in my 2D art I always love to draw this style like the image below.
Wanted to ask anyone know where can I buy sponge sleeve like that? I will be happt to make it in my 3D as well!
Thanks! :)

Is anyone else having this problem?

As an example of what I'm dealing with, I have a scene where a character lost the image map option on several attributes on specifically the body surface and I'd like to just copy and paste the shader I need but I can't because it doesn't add strangely missing options like image maps on attributes that should have that option.

I'm trying to create a custom slider for several poses. So: I create a timeline with the poses, then create a custom property/slider, I call "ERC Freeze…" and tell it to take the data from the timeline. After this, my new slider works as intended, I can morph through the poses with it, but when I try to animate this slider via keyframes on the timeline, nothing seems to be written.

Is there a setting I*m overlooking?

Help appreciated!

Or, preferably, by clicking a Tool Bar button. 

How do I do that?

From what I understood, the render should be much faster if I could use my NVIDIA card and its GPU, so I am quite frustrated that it doesn't work... 

I checked back the CPU in the render settings, I started a render and I oppened the task manager to try to understand what is happenning, and I notice that, even when I am making a render, the NVIDIA card seems to be not used at all, except the temperature is a bit elevated (42°C instead of 38°C):

After some researchs, I also used this command on the terminal to check if CUDA is correcly installed on my computer:

From what I understand, CUDA seems to be correctly installed, but I am not an expert at all...

Do you know what is the problem, please?

Thank you in advance!

Bringing in Aiko 3... and later Hiro 3... okay I might have already moved Sakura 8 over.

Also bringing in Capsces Kioki and Hitioro.

What? You ask. You have those old morphs on your Genesis models????

Yes. And no, I don't remember how I did it. Something to do with GenX.

I use Kioki and Hitoro's morphs for just about everything. Anyway, I saw a post where someone was looking for better shapes of eyes and it got me thinking. The truth is I WAS working on my own anime model system for Genesis 9 but I was doing it alone, so it was slow going... and now DAZ rolled theirs out, so. Eh. I'll go back to telling badly told stories if it's all the same to you.

Anyhoo.

I upgraded to Premier and tried to move the Legacy shape of Aiko over using shape transfer - which btw was a pain to even get to be in my system at all. Definitely a bug DAZ could address Anyhoo. Unless you're a fan of Hellraiser, I don't recommend you do it.

I had to move her over the old way. Thankfully the geometry tools with Premiere let me avoid using Blender.

I'm trying to make a character hold a custom weapon, and it would save a lot of time if I didn't have to adjust the fingers every time I change the overall pose.

As many of you know, OBJ is a very old format and does not support PBR materials: that means that after importing an OBJ only the diffuse and bump maps are correctly loaded (if the MTL file is correctly formatted). All metallic, roughness, glossiness, emissive, and (if i'm not wrong) even opacity maps must be tediously manually reapplied.

This process sometimes can be VERY time-consuming and, as i've said before, tedious.

So i've decided to waste even what little spare time and sanity i have left, and bring out the programmer in me:

my goal is to write a DAZ script that (conceptually) does this:

• loop through all the surfaces of the object/s
• search (for each one) in the MTL file if there's a corresponding "entry" (comparing the names/titles)
• if so, read all the MTL defined maps (like "map_Kd", "map_Ns", "map_Bump" etc.)
• take the map/s and apply them to the target surface
• enjoy!

Advices? Tips? Directions? Do you think is feasible or should i schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist?

Thank You in advance!

Any insight is greatly apprciated.

Inquiring Minds Want To Know!™

It is basically a world design tool and hosting website which authors and gamers can use to create and house their worlds for their gamers and readers to access. It is not interactive other then to view images, read text and follow links to other attached images and texts. I am not sure yet if it can house animations of any kind though that would be nice to introduce a character to a reader whose hair and clothing moves with a wind for example.

It can be monitized but my project will not be. It is for fun and use as a TTRPG tool. 

I want to ensure that using items from the DAZ store, as is or altered by me, to generate renders/images which I upload to include in my World Anvil project does not require licensing of some type.

I read through the DAZ licensing which I only partly got my head wrapped around. Just want to make sure I comply with whatever requirements I need to.

If anyone has other knowledge to share I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

DJ
