How do I get DAZ to read from other drive?

i use a iray glas shader with a frosted glass. The result looks as expected in the iray viewport. But in the iray render the glass is opaque. Any idea?

Greetings Zapp

I'm trying to mix and match human skin shaders with the Bot shaders in the new Bot Genesis, and it not switching the shader type is really making a pain of it.

Thanks!

Anyone know what this is all about?

Has anyone used this product and come across the same problem? I'm almost certain I'm missing something incredibly obvious but I'm stumped. Thanks!

All Bookmarks created with MF's Bookmark plugin gone. They are all in customactions.dsx but won't show up. 

The bottom half of the image isn't as well lit as the top half. There's a chandelier that's not visible that's creating the light, and this is supposed to be like a victorian day (candles) and age where cellphone lights don't exist. So I end up with this lightbulb style lighting that look instead of a candle flame look. I did have an image that had a more "flame" lighting look to it, and it looked like there was a full on house fire in the room or it looked like you'd need a torch just to see in there. I finally decided that maybe it's time to look into some lighting products that have presets done, but there are so many to choose from that I'm just kerfuffled. And while I'm sure there's some post work that might make this a little better as well, I figured I'd get as much done in program before I start spreading out to GIMP/3D Paint or anything else. Thanks in advanced. 

 I then use those parts to build a kitchen, and a hall etc and now want to save it.

If I save it as a scene subset, the geometry isn't saved in the data folder, and so it will be rejected by the store.

If I save it as a support asset/scene asset, it adds a user-facing folder in the same directory full of all the items that the prop is referencing. (See attachment) there will be an icon-less file for the wall, for the fireplace etc. 

Is there a third option that I've missed? How do you save a multi-object prop so that it used the data folder, without creating all those icon-less user-facing files?

I bought BuggaBoo because I want to create a child. Then I bought a hairstyle. Now the hairstyle is transforming together with the BuggaBoo Slider. 

Is there a way to remove the hair from the BuggaBoo slider/transformation?

I'm very new to DAZ, so I think there is an easy way and I'm just too blind to find it. 

Thanks in advance!

Attached a picture for better understanding.

It seems it does not include a Geometry/Cutout option for alpha maps.

Is there a way to accomplish the same with the new shader, or it is necessary to modify the shader itself?

Thank You

I am interested if there is any way to clean this up. I'm very savvy about folder structures. Can I just move things around in the directory or will that blow things up? Finding decent documentation is difficult I find, but at this point, finding things has become an onerous chore I wish to try and optimize.

For example, in People, I have  - Genesis 8 Female, Genesis 8 Females, Gensis 8 Female, Genesys 8 Female, Genesis8 Female -- Ugh

Any and all help is greatly appreciated in fixing this or just getting me in the right direction to fixing this.

Thank you!!!

I can render up to ISO 200 with no issues, I can render with ISO 380 or higher with no issues. But with ISO value in between 200 and 380, I run out of VRAM, which is I think strange. I am working with only 4GB of VRAM, but it still makes no sense to me.

Does anyone now what this is about?

I recently built a new machine, and reinstalled everything, and I have noticed a difference with selection now when working in Daz Studio. Previously, if I clicked ANYWHERE on a figure in the scene, it would select the figure itself, ie. the root node, FIRST. Then if I clicked a part on the figure it would select that individual part. On the new machine, clicking a body part now directly selects that body part. I want the old behavior back, but I don't see anything in preferences that sounds related. I don't remember having to change anything in the first place to get it to select like this, so I'm not sure why it's behaving differently. Any help would be appreciated.

I have turned the object to a prop, Adjusted the Mesh so it fits perfectly. Transfered the G1 Rigging to the adjusted Object. Which follows the movements pefectly, 

but the movements have to be done seperately as it is parented not fitted. I have followed this video on how to fit almost any clothing item in Daz with mixed results 

https://  www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugdhxgo_wGU&t=363s

But whenever I try to "Fit" the resulting item, the Pelvis shifts to about a +18Bend. And now the Genesis Figure, not the BodyStocking Distorts massively when moved. 

Is there someway to Fit in place and Object the same way we can Parent one in place? If not there should be. BB.

I have tried to get the nox hair to work with g8. Normally this isn't a problem, all the other g3 hairs conform well. 

The Nox hair does fit to the head, however you cannot use any hair morphs once the hair is fitted to a g8 figure. You can still drag the sliders like "top hair to side" and such, but nothing happens.

I have tried many things, like loading it to a g3 figure first, change up the hairstyle and then fitting it to g8...or loading the hair as a standalone figure first, load a hair morph and then loading the g8 figure and fit the hair to it...but that doesn't work either. Once I fit the hair to g8 the hair resets back to the basic preset.

Is there a fix for this?

I've noticed this a few times now but it's usually been the least of my problems so ignored it. I get odd seams on planes. I've attached a screenshot. This may look like shadow but I've had this exactly same 'salvage edge' patten in parts of a scene which should have had even light. This one uses a bump map but the same things has happened many times when I've used nothing but diffuse colour. What's going on and how can I stop it happening?  On the right is the torso of a figure and there is a shadow running parallel to the chest/back however the vertical lines are what I"m talking about. 

Thanks.
