I have notices that when you install models that are a few month old then Windows 7 opens up the "This software may not have installed correctly" popup, and then asks you to reinstall it using the recommended settings.

What are the recommending settings so that you only have to install it once?

Thanks

Bought Daz a year ago with hopes to use Daz models in my other applications iClone Zbrush Lumion. I'm amazed at the fact that a year later, the same old export errors have not been fixed. Yes I've read the most recent relevant posts here.

I still can't export Obj without the no-texture problem. I still can't export Collada dae without that dreaded error message. So I tried exporting using FBX, and installed Autodesk convertor as a tedious workaround. Exporting FBX failed, turned out that I don't have the plug-in.

So I found the FBX plug-in and attempted install and guess what, the FBX plug-in "failed to find the install path". Yes I tried both 3.x 64bitwin and plain win versions. My Precision system is super stable.

After a year and another round of errors and fact-finding frenzy, I still cannot export Daz models. This is simply crazy.

To top all of the above, documentation on export settings (why those check boxes exist and what purpose) is non-existent. This means checking and unchecking 20 times ten thousand variables before you can be sure this method doesn't work.

Madness.

Please help. Please. Let me know this is not a waste of my money and time.

I can't get Horse 2 to load, it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Poser Pro 2012 Content\Runtime\libraries\Character\DAZ Horse 2\DAZ Horse 2.py", line 1, in
import dson.dzdsonimporter
ImportError: No module named dson.dzdsonimporter

This is the last time I purchase anything from this website.

Two examples to be sure of what I'm supposed to do:
For instance for an obj I have : "Runtime\Geometries\V3D\M4MilitaryTeeShirts\M4MilitaryBasicTshirt.obj" which makes 68 characters if I count "M4MilitaryBasicTshirt.obj" in it, but only 43 characters if I exclude it from the character count. Should I consider it as OK or should I simplify the path and object name so that the full complete character count remains below 60.
If it includes the filenames in the count I'll have to rebuild many paths and filenames!!! (I have approximately 300 references to cr2, dsa, pz2, jpg, and objs in the product... ouch!).

Second example, I have :"Runtime\libraries\Pose\V3D\M4UltimMilRBoots\03DAZBumpOptions\MuddyBootsCloseBump.pz2" 84 characters including the pz2 name, 60 excluding it. Is it considered as a resource path? (it is a pose file, not an obj or image one). Does the character limitation also apply?

Thank in advance to anyone having ideas on it.

I know I've seen something somewhere on here about it, but can't find it, now that I NEED it.

I'm working on this...and while I've gotten everything from the waist down to work well enough, I'm having trouble with shoulders/sleeves...and now I've made a real hash of the weight maps for those areas. I've started over several times, but can't seem to find where the problem is originating...and no amount of 'additive' painting or smoothing seems to be helping. (And as a side...setting the viewport to wire texture shaded makes the poly selection a thousand times easier....but it's still 'clunky'...I miss my 'circle select from Belnder....).

It is embedding all the geometry from the OBJ file, into the prop file. I don't want this to happen, I want it to call on the obj file instead. What am I missing in the save process, to prevent this from happening?

I am using Poser Pro (7.2).

Thanks.

Thanks.

The answer came down to my NoScript add-on for FireFox. I had to unblock cloudfare.com to get images. Looks like images have been offloaded to another site/server.

Grateful for any suggestions.

now,, the " front roin" and "back roin" of the dress has been weight mapped to both thigh bone rotation.

it is useful usually,,,, but there seems some problem,,.

if right (or left) thigh bend forward,, as if there is magnet,, the back roin(skirt?) stick to the thin bones and move foward too,,

so I hope,, when one of thigh bend foward,,only the forward roin move foward too, but back roin do not move.
and when one of thighs bend back, the foward roin stay there,, only back roin to back with thigh rotation.

then,, I planned to set two child ghost bones (parented plevis) F-mover and B-mover ,for both roin,
and weight map for ghost bones bend (of course I know,, it remove weight map from things ).

now Front roin (vertices) rotate with F-mover, Back roin vertices rotate with B-mover.

next,, I need to ERC for thigh bones x rotation and ghost bones x rotation.

if just set ERC to one mover and one thigh bone with same step value.it seems easy,,

but I hope to set ERC of both Thighs rotation to one mover,,
so need to think both Thighs negative and positive rotattion,,,
and compair both Thigh rotation value,then pick up bigger value,,,

case1) lThigh bend Foward 30 (-30 Xrotation), rThigh rotate Foward 15 (-15 Xrotation)
>>>>> F-mover rotate -30 Xrotation. (simply because,, 30>15)

case2) lThigh bend Foward 30(-30 Xrotation) , rThigh bend Back 40 (40 Xrotation)
>>>>> F-move rotate -30 Xrotation, and B-move rotate 40 Xrotation
.
case 3) lThigh bend Back 30(30 Xrotation), rThigh bend Back 40
>>>>>> only B-mover rotate Back 40. (40>30)

I can understand, what I need ,, but how I set ERC for both side thigh bone X rotation,,
to count, compare value,,. if I can pick up the value , it seems easy to set ERC,,

so hope to know,, how to pick up the bigger value. and keep the value to rotate mover,,.

(now I may need not think about back-mover,, it is same,, if I can do about f-mover,,I can do it,,)

so I hope,, tips or hint ,, or if I need to edit duf or dsa to make this ERC,
where Can I get more information? of course it is not easy for me,, I know that,,
but I hope to move joint more free, so I may study,, if there is document,, what I need to start?

(of course some user may say, "you need not to set such original ERC, there is more easy way by morph or etc,,"
but I understand what I hope and why it need clearly, so not need other advices to rigging,,and known already how to make
symple ERC,, in ds 4.5,, (not edit code of file,,) but just hope to know ,and need help what I want to do,,)

or simply I hope,, if I can change "fit-to" bone to ghost bone when I need,,by one click button,
or toggle switch,, eg change" rThing" bone of dress, to" r-mover" when I need,,,

I think,, which we need to choose "fit-to" bone, or ghost bone about each vertices, and can not
change with flexiblity,,is weak points of new triax figure..
it limit to move (fit to)clothing free,,

I thought I'd conquered the content structure in DAZ, but I got a really frustrating surprise today.

The last time I used DAZ STUDIO 4.5 was last week and I used the morphing content under the Shaping tab successfully (bodybuilder etc).

However on launching DAZ today to start on my next project I can't see any content under the Shaping tab, unless I click on the background, when I get "Genesis INJ", "Genesis REM" etc, but when I select the Genesis figure - nothing.

After trying to solve the problem by following a tutorial, ensuring i wasn't doing something obviously wrong I also noticed some sub menus missing on the right hand side, under Parameters. There is no Actor, Hidden or Pose Controls header. I really don't know if this is somehow linked. I have included a screenshot if it helps.

DAZ is proving to be a welcome addition to my workflow, however I spend so much time trying to find missing content I never produce any work.

Please help one frustrated artist.

Did an experiment fitting an A3 clothing set to my GenX Steph4/Leela Fits went perfectly but since it was late I closed down and planned to render in the morning and post the results. When I opened the file today the character loaded with the skin map all screwed up. The character uses JW's Tindra Thompson skin map which is the closest in complexion to that of the actual character. Until this morning it has loaded just fine every time I loaded the character or a scene with her.

So I am wondering, what is causing this to occur now?

I closed the scene and application & restarted and reloaded the scene, but the issue still persists.

I tried to reload the UV Map but when I click on Load UV Set it leaves me in the C:/Programme Flies/Daz3D/Studio4 folder and I have no idea where to go from there to find the UV map.

I am wondering if the "Duplicate ID" error that pops up when I load the scene might have something to do with this.

When I pose a genesis figure (V5 supermodel) the Katumi dress http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/14304/start adds strange 'armbands' to the lady, see pic below. Have anyone seen this and know what there is to be done?

The Katumi dress used to be sold by Bobbie25 but is apparently not for sale anymore.

I'm running 4.5.0.90

I have attached an example image.

I have spoken to the creator of the Gregoria hair, Mairy, and was told that it may be a problem with the hair inheriting certain face morphs from Genesis. I checked, and this does not seem to be the case. Any other ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

I had trying for a month now but got no luck so if anyone can help that would be great.

I cannot find a UV map to work off of, or figure out how to make my own.

If anyone can tell me where to get the UV map, make my own, or some other way to best work on textures for this item. I would greatly appreciate it. Spent all night last night trying to find it and figure something out.

So, for various reasons that to this point have better fit my purposes, I have been running a version of Daz3d 3. I have been needing new features recently, and have decided to move on to 4.5

I started this process as of yesterday, first by watching the over-views and stuff (the wider character variety is ultimately one of the biggest reasons I finally switched up) and went and reset my downloads in my daz3d accnt with the intention of moving into a new computer as well (in case I didn't like it after all, I still had the older program in my other computer).

And after resetting the downloads went ahead and started loading everything in from scratch.

The problem I am having are the daz zip file install packs.

Where do I extract them to? What file path? The Libraries extension that is suggested is just not working as the content does not show up in the folders in the program. I've gone in and manually assigned new locations where the files will show up in the program but then the file path is wrong and I have to manually search for the content myself to load it instead of just clicking on the picture.

A few things: the content I am talking about loads just by clicking on the picture in my other computer that is running an older version of DazStudio just fine.

It also seems the content I am struggling with is relatively older, as in Gen 3 content.

And also, I would rather not just copy the data base from one computer to the other as I haven't been installing alot of the content I didn't use on that system as to take up less space on this one.

If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them and really appreciate it. I've been trying to do this now for over a day, and have literally gotten no where. I hope it is something simple I am just missing.

Thanks ahead.

Also, is there a way to do categories in Daz 4? I'd like to organize my Genesis content in a similar way to how I've done my G4 content.
