The problem with "Orbit Apartment" is that the blanket intersects the bed, and there aren't any morphs (as far as I can tell) to correct the issue:

And then, with "Freakshow Tent", there are rendering artefacts on the curtains (they are much less noticeable when rendered, but they're still there). Maybe issues with the normals?:

Any ideas? Thanks!

Version is 4.15.0.2 on Windows 10

I am working on scenes inside Airport Island City.  I have had no problems with renders so far.   I am using G3F and V7 figures. The render settings are Default.

Over the last week or so, my renders have dark sclera.  The figures look fine when in Texture draw style. But as soon as I select NVIDIA, the figure's slera darken.  This only happens when I insert a figure inside the Airport Island City. When I load the character and it is not placed inside the City, the render looks fine. However, once a figure is loaded into the Airport Island City environment, the figure's sclera darken. The figure's sclera remain dark then even after I delete the City from the scene. When I load the figure onto West Park, the problem does not occur. 

The problem occurs with a background and without. The lighting does not make a difference.

If anyone has suggestions or ideas, please post.  I don't understand why this is happening now, when I have been using Airport Island for quite a while. 

Thank you

I have a problem with my Goeshells no longer covering the surfaces from the geografts on my figure, only the elements from the base figure. 

It worked correctly until some time ago (some days ago max) so I'm thinking I may have changed a setting mistakenly (though I have no recollection of doing so).

It also feels like the problem comes from Daz itself rather than the specific content since it happens on every figure I try it on, and even older saved scenes are suffering from the same problem.

Do you guys have an idea of what might be happening ?

Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure if I have read about this problem in the forums yet. I applied Cailin's skin to V8 and she renders with a black face. I don't know why!?

For a while I have this now, and I am curious if I can turn it off or not. The problem is when I load in a new character into the scene, Xia Mei body and head morph get applied to any 8.1 character on top of the normal base morph. Any idea why is it like this? I added an attachment where I tried to load in "Coral 8.1 Human HD" model, and got the X"iao Mei" morph as well for some reason.

Thanks in advance.

1) Daz sees my older files and they work fine.
2) New content I install via IM shows up in my Library (verifying it's pointed to the correct location)
3) I can uninstall new content via IM and it's removed from my Library.
4) I've uninstalled and re-installed PostgreSQL CMS but no change
5) I've run DB Maintenance within Daz:  "Process Metadata Queue" and "Re-Import Metadata"
6) Verified the CMS port number (17237) is the same in both DAZ and IM
7) Finally I've downloaded and installed the latest version of IM  (I didn't uninstall the previous version though)

It seems everything is working fine with the exception of IM not being able to view all of the fiels I've loaded prior to this morning.   I've also checked the log file from IM and I can see where it suddenly showed that I only have 1 installed file when 2 minutes earlier I had over 2 thousand. No error was recorded in the log.

Does anybody know of any way to get Install Manager to scan the Daz Libray and recognize the files that it uploaded previously?   I'd like to avoid having to reinstall my entire library if possible.   :D

Assuming that I like certain character shapes from previous generations of Genesis, and I want to transfer them to G8 while keeping the base topography of those shapes, is there a way to convert clone shapes into proper morphs? I'm aware of the character converters available on the Daz store, but unfortunately these won't really work, as they only apply to character presets and not shaping presets. I'm interested in this topic because I thought it would be nice to have a solid reference for the figure's topography, that could be split into regions (head, torso, arms, etc).

If there is a way to achieve this, it's probably extremely complicated. I'd much appreciate any simple workarounds available.

It is a beautiful texture for sure (not too much of a fan about the swollen upper lip).

From the product page: "Boasting 10 Eye colors, 10 L.I.E Make-up options, 5 L.I.E Lip colors and 10 Nail and Toenail options, plus Fibermesh Eyebrows and Lashes, Aino HD is ready for all occasions."

Is it just me, or are the eyebrows missing?

Clearly defining categories is impossible to do automatically. For instance, finding that a poses should be "By function/Kneeling" or "By Region/Full Body" or a camisole (or whatever name the artist gives) "Wardrobe/Shirt" and not "Wardrobe/Pant".

But some of the ContentType and Compatibility could probably be automatically generated.

I will only consider clothing and poses (that are the most useful for smart content IMHO), but hair (and maybe char) could be processed like clothing.

For poses, one can reasonnably consider that if we go through the directory hierarchy of a given asset starting at People/.../Poses, we can stop once we encounter a dir containing a ".duf" file and that all the ".duf" files below this directory will be poses with a  compatibility derived from the path. For instance, if we find in People/Genesis X/Female/Poses/xx/yy/ files named file1.duf, zz/file2.duf and zz/file3.duf, file1.duf, file2.duf and file3.duf may be considered as poses with a compatibility of GenesisX/Female

Ditto for expressions.

For clothing, one could consider that if we go through the file hierarchy similarly starting at People/Genesis X/Female/Clothing, we can stop once we encounter a duf file and that all the ".duf" file in this directory will be "Follower"s with the Genesis X/Female compatibility. It is probably impossible to be more precise for follower and processing materials also is almost impossible. (How to know that a preset applies to the top and not the shoes? or that it is iray or 3DL?)

But with these restrictions, I have the feeling that this kind of information can be generated automatically and that the classification should be successful at least 90% of the time (successful in the sens that, the classification will be very partial of course and some items may be missed, but at least it will be correct for the .duf files that are classified).

What is your opinion? Am I missing some important point? How useful would be this partial generation of metada and what would smart content do with it? Could it be improved?

What does it mean when it says .DS textures inlcuded? Some "adjustment may be necessary".

Will M4 Poser stuff work in Daz even if it is not listed?

Then it may says Daz to unity bridge...

Does that mean it will work in Daz?

I'm interested in also exporting the materials I use in ZBrush, like metallic or clay surfaces.  I found a tutorial that suggested generating a displacement map from the mesh, then applying that map to a simple Plane3D, then applying the relevant Material to the plane.  So I tried it with a metallic material.  That did create an interesting, shiny displacement map that seemed to follow my UV coordinates.  But when I use the map in Daz, as either a Displacement or Bump map, nothing happens.  When I put it in as a Normal map, I get some odd noise but nothing much of interest.  

Any advice on all this?  Is it simpler just to use Daz's surface shaders for this sort of thing?  Or should I be investing in Substance Painter or some such?  I'd also be interested in advice on creating cleaner UV islands.  Thanks in advance.

This is what it says when i try to export from Daz

---------------------------------------

And this is what it says when i try to import from Blender

I did try to restart the computer, that has never helped. Nor has restarting Daz. Someone else said go and locate it in the keyboard settings under workspace and customize, I cannot find it for the life of me. So as of right now, when I do try to ALT and click and drag, it just acts as though I'm selecting multiple products and highlights them in yellow. 

Thanks in advanced. 

2. opened window 'figure setup'

3.add geometry (lets me select an obj)

4... this is what I get, how do I fix it so that I can adjust the import options?

Cursor has the constant circle loading in bg with the arrow, going to edges of the import window does NOT show resize arrow, and trying leads to nothing. Cancel and try again leads to same result.

The password works fine on the site. Not sure what the problem is.
