I'm a newbie. Plz help me this case.

I want to do this animation: https://youtu.be/5eSM88TFzAs

I researched very much but I couldn't find out how to do that.

The hands always move between 2 actions up and down eventhough I pinned it by ActivePose Tool and Universal Tool, I also used the LockPartBody Script but it didn't work too.

Beside that, when I pin the hands and put the body up or down, it will mess and doesn't get the pose as I want.

Plz show me how I can do the push-up animation as demo.

Thank you so much!

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  If so how did you get it resolved??  Could this be where something in the install has gotten so totally broken that I need to do an uninstall and then do a clean install?  Note: my installation of the DAZ program is on a separate internal drive along with my other program files as I have a small SS Drive for my Windows 7-64 install and my content Files are on another internal hard drive...  DAZ was originally installed on this computer which was new on 8/3/2015 so the updates since then where all provided through DIM.

Thanks in advance for your assistance as you can imagine how frustrating this is for me to have to go through all the time...

Using mac with El Capitan and Wacom Intous tablet and pen.

I'm trying to export Genesis 2 Female to 3dsmax via FBX, in order to keep skinning, skeletal information and morphs. My main working and animating platform is 3dsmax, that's the reason I'm trying to achieve this. The problem is, FBX export in DAZ seems not to support exporting other than the base mesh. This is very unreliable, as the mesh is just 21k and is very lacking in some areas (ears, eyes, face and others...). I'd like to retain the 83K subdivided mesh (standard in DAZ) in this export process. Does anyone know how to bypass this limit?

I've tried a couple of possible solutions, but none of them have worked well. First is in 3dsmax, adding a Turbosmooth modifier (subdivide) on top of the Skin and Morpher stack, but this adds significant overweight to the scene. And for some reason, Max doesn´t cope well with the result (I've had a few crashes and inconsistencies in animation). And second is, exporting all the morphs one by one in OBJ format (which does support subdivided mesh) and then putting them back together in Max, before having to re-rig and skin the whole figure again (probably using the skeleton and skin info present in the base mesh export via FBX).

Both ways seems either unreliable or terribly tedious... Is there any other way to get this done? Maybe some script? I've read other people have done it using Mudbox as an intermediary (i can have access to Mudbox if required) but their method was not clearly explained. Can anyone help me out with this?

Thx!!

I started working on my scene today, set it up, look to find aniMate, and it wasn't next to my timeline tab.  So I went to Window/panes, and it wasn't there either!

What should I do?

Deviney has some things that would work, if he some additonal images that had slight movement of the basic images included.

Yes, I can make the slight changes necessary...just another step

Mayber, there are some animaged images/graphics I can uise as image layers.

Transparent backgrounds would be necessary I suspect.

Examples -  cockpits, first shooter, sci-fi high def graphic interfaces, etc.

I have many other questions and suggestions. I'll keep them in this thread.

Thanks!

I've played around with it without any success, I've searched the Forums to no avail, the Documentation is little help and YouTube only seems to cover it for other software.

IS THE FORUM CODER SOMEONE'S "SPECIAL" RELATIVE? WHY HAVE YOU NOT FIRED THIS PERSON?

I have some old content for which the installed version is the only version I have left (HD failure), and the original downloads are no longer available. What's the best way to go about backing this stuff up? A program that 1. parses the selected library files and follows the references to find the Geometries and Textures files referenced 2. parses the files referenced and searches the runtime for files that reference them 3. Collects everything and saves it to a new location while keeping the directory structure intact would seem to be a good start. Is there anything like this?

1.  Mesh Lights Showing Up as Reflections or White Patches on Surfaces.  I jave a render where the background texture is set with a non reflective shaded and texture.  The problem isn't a standard mirror like reflection, it is simply that their is a fat glare appearing on the surface in the form of the mesh light in question.  I located a suggestion to set the Cutout Opacity to 0.001 (may be off a zero, not looking at my program right now).  This removed the problem.  But, that led to my metal shades showing up black.  Is there any other way to deal with this problem?

2.   Metal Shaders Coming up Black in Render.  In case the above isn't the reason, could someone let me know?  They are showing up under the environment lights in testing, but this is an indoor scene using scene lights only.

3.  Making Mesh Lights Invisible in Render.  Sure I missed this one since I am sure it is common.  But, I would like to know the how.  I have presets for Iray mesh lights from Callada sets off of deviant art.  They work fine normally and the metal issue only showed up with the changes in #1.  

Please for the sake of my fragile sanity.  :)

Edit:  It was lack of knowledge on my part, I got it figured out.  Thanks!

So, is it possible to select the abdomins and chests of both figures and bend or rotate them together, letting the collars, shoulders, forearms, hands, fingers, necks and heads all move along? (It would save me a lot of time if this were possible.)

Thanks

Mike

However, there is no home... :( Which product do I need to get the actual house in the background?

Any idea why?

Am I missing something?

-edited to include ISO, as apparently that will also change EV. I don't know what cm^2 is, but that does it too. lol

is this a bug? or am i doing something wrong,.. I am saving it out at 4000x 4000 I tried to save it as a bmp and a png,. stil lno dice.

Whilst not very odten, this issue has cropped up over various machines I have owned and so I'm pretty certain it's not my hardware. Whether it's cause by various combinations of Light Type/Setting in relation to a prop/surface setting I know not but I do know is - it's really annoying.

The image section of the ISS iwas just a quick test with the Blue Planet prop initialy using the Blue Planet light which is a Distant Light preset in Deep Shadow Map mode. Whilst I suspect it may have something to do with being in Deep Shadow Map mode (I just tried it in Raytrace no problem) I may be wrong.

Any Clues?

I want to make a duvet (or blanket)cover for my figure. I want to do this in Daz Studio 4.8 64 bit. Is it correlating from CLOTHING SHADER/TABS (hardness or softness for any item/blanket)?

Please, is anyone of you know's how to do it?

but i dont want a scary werewolf or lykin, im kind of new to genesis and the creature creature dosent seem to have a dog face or 

head morph, any help would be great thanks guys ! 

 Extreme Example I have a genisis figure inside a Deep Sea Diver Suit.  I turned off most visability of Genisis using just the head parented to the neck of the suit and am animating the suit as the person inside it. The suit has a seperate pair of gloves and boots parented to the suit. All follows with the suit where ever and however the suit is moved, even in Puppeteer BUT,,,, lets say I want to create poses in which the figure moves to a position where the arms move up, the hands of the gloves (close) or open (moving the fingers) while closing his eyes and opening his mouth and pointing the toes of the boots.  According to what I know about Puppeteer I have to move the eyes and mouth, position of the head on one layer. Move the arms and body of the suit on an other layer. Move the fingers and hand on another layer. The boots, pointing the toes of the boots on a different layer,,, etc.

   Then to record it as an animation, I would have to record sepeate passes for each layer hoping to get them in sync or together to make the final complete motion of one figure reaching up grasping the hands, opening his eyes, looking at the object, and opening his mouth, while getting on his tippy toes.  BUT if I could some how get all the layers to work together, I could set up several motions where all these things can pe posed together then record it in one pass to the timeline. Making it so much easier.   Does anyone know if it is possible to controll all these seperate object which are really together with in Puppeteer on one layer, so I can puppet everything at the same time. Puppeteer which I think is a fabulous tool to make animations, would be so much better if this were possible.  

by the way I am currently still using DS 4.6. 

Thanks,

Steve.

Thank yiou,

I'd like to create a custom morph that appears under Shaping / Actor / People.

The morph is a combination of spinning differnt dials, ex, height, weight, face shape, etc....

So basicly once I spin my dials and create a charector I like, i'd like to save it as a custom morph.

There's a tutorial that i've seen and used, I just can't remeber anything aboput the process except that i have to do an erc freeze.

Thanks,
