Anyone have an idea as to what fixes this?

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans here.

Full body specular map texture for V4 and,, and each body part sweat texture (which can use wit LIE editor as Layer,, )

I can use all these texture about genesis applied V4 texture. with V4 uv set.

but I hope to use these specular map to use about genesis applied V5 or M5,, or S5 texture.
about part body sweat are can adjust (because it is layer,,) on the base V5 texture,,
but all part body specular texture can not fit on V5 texture..

so ,, if I can modify each V4 specular map texture (tif) fit to V5 uv map template,,
I think,, every preset can ues for genesis with V5 texture.
maybe I think,, it can do by gimp pr photo shop,,

but,, actually,, I can not change well the texture it can fit V5 uv map template layer^^;
(I am not used to these tools at all ^^; )

so is theare any simple help , or if there is product,, the texture of V5 or S5 change to fit
V4 uv map,, I think. (it may can use about every UV map,,)

I know some product tool,, texture convertor,, but there seems no template,,
V5 to V4,, or S5 to V4 M5 to M4,, I think,,,

so if is there good tutorial,,(or links) how to modify specular (or bump or displace ,,) texture for
use other UV map ,,, ?? If there are,, tell me please,, I want to try it,, with gimp @@;

DS4.5.1.6 32-bit is what I am running.

When I put Genesis Bikini Bottom in a scene (on a figure and by itself) I get:

"Duplicate ids found while reading the file, see log file for more details".

Question 1: Where is the log file I need to see? (which might make the next two questions moot, if I knew/could remember where to look).

Question 2: Will the log really tell me anything?

Question 3: Anyone here have any helpful insight on this message?

The message also pops up when I re-open an image with the Bikini Bottom in the scene (well when on a figure - haven't just saved the scene with the bikini only in the scene - but if I were to bet.... :smirk:)

The model does load, seems to work when on a figure, posing, changing textures, etc. So, it's not really causing issues. But I hate to see any kind of 'error messages'.

If this is the case, is there a way to tame CMS.

I run in Linux, under WINE...

Also, CMS starts and stops when I open Studio.

this is what I did:
+ I composed my bundle for the 29.92 dollars offer.
+ I tried to add the freebie of daz (Genesis Evolution Expressions)
+ I have added the Free Texture for Stephanie 5.

Since I have read that The freebie product is for a purchause of 30$ or more and thexture is for the 50$ purchauses why do I get this price (seems that i got for free the two freebies). So Discounts does not count regarding the two free items?

If I try flipping the normals before I export, they don't flip back to normal on save, they stay wrong.

If I just flip one set of them before I export, they all flip to wrong again. Studio stubbornly refuses to save the normals pointed forward away from Genesis.

Is there a fix for this that won't require me to bork the vert order? The morphs are already done.

I'm using DAZ Studio 4.5, Win Seven Home Premium 64 and a graphics card ATI 5770.

Recently I created some smart props combining some basic shapes, exporting in obj, re-importing into the scene and finally saving them as props.

To create symmetrical objects, i.e. a pair of earrings or bracelets, I pick the left one, duplicate it, apply scale x = -100% and voilà.

The problem is that all the objects with x-scalling -100% are rendered totally black, no matter which and how many lights I'm using. They're black even if I render them with the "system" lighting.

I'm using the software 3Delight engine.

Is there a way to solve the problem?
Hope you can help.

Bought The Wisteria Pool House and according to the product file http://www.daz3d.com/shop/the-wisteria-pool-house there shall be DS material, but when I got the product I only got the Poser files - 14991_WisteriaPoolHouse_1.0_dpc.exe - PC

I've tried to reset the download, there's still only one file, and no DS files within that one.
Unfortunately this is one of these products lacking readme's and file content description, so there's no way to tell what was supposed to be included only that the product page tells that there should be DS files available.

Now, do anyone know if this is the case or if there's only poser files with this product.

A week ago i downloaded content from ShareCG.com called Victoria 5.1, after installing (by coppying the files in place) all models (including the default genesis model) had boobs and very large pointed nipples.

It took me some time to find the problem. I found it In the Parameters / Actors pannel. There was a controll added called V5.1. This controll got to max at all load or merge of a model.

I had a look at te original downloaded files to find witch files where added with this content, and deleted them from the folowing paths

\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis\Base\Morphs\Marcius Hess (delete folder Marcius Hess)

\My Library\People\Genesis\Characters\Marcius Hess\ (delete folder Marcius Hess)

Today i found the same content package on ShareCG under the name of Genesis 5.1,

http://www.sharecg.com/v/63441/view/21/DAZ-Studio/GENESIS-V5.1

So be warned to use these content packages or else above is the solution to get rid of the problem.

When adding, the files land on the most un-logical places possible. At the moment I have several texture's for witch i cannot find the uv's
and uv's for witch i cannot find the textures.

Suppliers using random naming conventions for folders and files does not help !!!!

Is there tool to reorganize this mesh ?

For example when applying a pose to genesis, the victori5 morph controll also go's to max, also when it is a male figure ??!!!

Is there a way to clean up / edit this pose presets so that i can remove the morph settings.

(Daz studio 4.5, genesis full morph, V5 /M5 full morph, V4,2 full morph)

I'm looking for a way to group sliders in the shaping tab; or, slider groups in general, I suppose. Is there a way to group some sliders under my own heading, for convenience sake in gathering most-used morphs in one convenient place?

After adding several morph products with extensive sliders in shaping, i realized that my shaping list is getting way too long to work with easily, having to scroll back and forth through an ever-lengthening list of options to find what I need.

Some products seem to group their morphs under a heading at install, but some just add a great long list to my existing too-long-already one.

Also, after uninstalling a product, 13168 FemTouchGen, which seemed to uninstall correctly, i.e.the uninstaller initiated and reported no errors or problems, the sliders remained in the shaping tab, sans the image that had been superimposed on the slider, and they still functioned, applying the morphs. So, a bungled uninstall, but how to get those sliders off.

Any ideas?

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestion for solutions? I couldn't find anything on it anywhere else...

I've upgraded to Poser 9 and have installed the V4 Morphkit by Netherworks.

However when applying a magnet and using the Python scripts window provided (clicking on any of the buttons) I get the following error message -

NULL (or empty) script name passed to PEPythonEngine::DoScript()

I can use the buttons by going to: Scripts, Netherworks, Clothing Morphkit 3 and these all work.

Does anyone know why this would be happening? It's doing it on both my PC and Laptop.

I've also updated my Poser 9 to SR3 and that doesn't help it.

Really hoping someone can shed some light.

I get so confused on how to match Daz Studio products up with each other.

I love Genesis but I want to use a lot of the older stuff because equal products are not available for it (or perhaps this is my bad perception of things).

For example:

If I have a Genesis character in scene, and I apply shapes from this product to it:
http://www.daz3d.com/shop/v4-and-m4-shapes-for-genesis

Can I then apply these products to those Genesis characters:

http://www.daz3d.com/shop/homo-erectus-m4
http://www.daz3d.com/shop/homo-erectus-v4

Or do those products only work with real M4/V4 characters?

And is there a K4 shapes for Genesis yet? (or is it not needed because of the Genesis child morphs?)

But if you do that will this product work with those characters:

http://www.daz3d.com/shop/homo-erectus-k4

It all gets very confusing. I start working on a project and give up because its too frustrating trying to get things to work with each other.

Does anyone know of any good start from basic shader tutorials? I found some on the daz info but it was rather limited. One of the main ones I am trying to use is "PWtoon". According to the Product Page it has been updated to 4.5 so I DL’d the newest copy and have been trying to figure out how to get the b&w outline option shown in the examples. Others are "PWGhost" and "Real Paint for DAZ Studio" by: DzFire.

Thanks in advance for any assistance! :)

I'm trying to rig a floor length Bridal Veil. It also has a bit of a train. But, what rigging strategies make sense here? What needs to be considered in choosing one?

Should it be a conforming item?

I've tried rigging it roughly based on the old conforming V3 Dress Headpiece, with handles, but it has some trick around the neck that I can't seem to fathom. That is, the Dress Headpiece has a neck bone, but no assigned Neck Group. I have added my neck group to a Veil group, but it still distorts around what seems to be a hidden neck group.

It's getting confusing and messy.

I have both D/S3 advanced and D/S4Pro.

Thanks for taking a look!

I had rigged a dress and added a few adjustment morphs via the Hexagon bridge. I inserted them into the dress as Morphs/ Imported. Unfortunately, I did not realize that the morph names should not have spaces. :shut:

When I exported to CR2, a pop up informed me that it would adjust the names by inserting underscores where the spaces were.

When loading the new dress CR2, however, no more Imported/Morphs! Missing in action!

I opened the CR2 in a text editor, and the morphs are in there, properly corrected with the underscores, but, it just isn't loading with them.

Does anybody know of a workaround for this problem? I'd hate to have to start over!

Thanks for looking!

When trying to load the cat hair, I get a similar message and all it loads is a cylindrical primitive on the figure's head!

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Even after re-installing 64-bit DSON (to C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser Pro 2012) after the recent update and making sure my C++ was up to date, I’m still getting this error. The funny thing is, I’m trying to run 64-bit DSON in 64-bit PP12 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine with Visual C++ 2010 (along with several other builds dating back to 2005). It’s 64-bit all the way, so it shouldn’t even be LOOKING for a Win32 program! Plus, the message is printed not once but twice in the Python console window that appears when I load PP12, which is especially odd.

I'm suspicious that this might be related to another oddity which by itself hasn't been much of a problem, since I don't actually use DS very often. Even though I'm running a 64-bit machine, 64-bit DS4 has never worked on my computer. I always get this when I try to start it up: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." Even after I just installed the update (version 4.5), the same thing happened. The 32-bit version, however, works fine.

It's almost as if some parts of my computer are deluded into believing it's a 32-bit system or something!

I am eager to use Genesis, so I would really appreciate some serious tech support at this point. It's starting to drive me mad, LOL!

Thanks in advance!
