Did they ever get the Daz to Maya bridge working?

Zuntaras — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 08:25:27 +0000

Just checking to see where this is at. Whenever I try to check the "loaded: box in the Maya Plug-In Manager I still get this error message.

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2022/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: (DazToMaya)

I have done countless re-installs and have just basically given up. Has there been any progress or any new ideas about a fix for this? Thanks.

Daz Studio Install Issue

sporkmanstudios — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 09:06:11 +0000

Hopefully someone can give me some guidance.

I did an install of daz3d the other day and today i wanted to install some of the content that I purchased. Originally I had the install of the daz program and central on the c drive. Today I uninstalled everything for Daz as I wanted to move everything including the install files to 2TB Drive. I did the uninstall viz Daz Central and then I uninstalled DAZ central. I noticed that all the install directories were still on my system. So I wiped everything for Daz off my PC to do a fresh clean install. Rebooted my system and redid the install moving everything to the external drive. The install went fine and daz and Central reinstalled fine.

Here is where the trouble started, So I started to redownload the assets in central and I open daz with no issues but I noticed that none of the assets were installed. But in central they showed open. So I clicked open and I got the error message resource error could not open file (path name appdata/roaming/DAZ3D/InstallManager/LaunchStudioProduct.dsa) File does not exist. I did change my content manager because I have 3party asset on the e drive that i purchased for my project. I tried to add the asset in to the directory and it did not show up so I removed the line for external drive, I have it set back to default. In Searching the forums for the error message I download DIM to see if I can install them that way and I kept getting file could not be installed. So I figured I would wipe everything again and leave it as default and try and still running into the same issues. I am not sure why a company would not allow for a clean up of all it assets. I really want to use Daz as I will be looking to create the characters and then plan to import into Unity once I have the look of my characters.

I have attached all screen shot of where all the directories are pointing to, the only program right now that installed into the correct place is Daz Central, all the files are showing on the E- Drive. I want to get everything onto the E-Drive as that is what I plan on using this includes all assets. any help would be great.

Hard Drive is Getting Full

BHawk — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 20:14:29 +0000

I have a computer which is for Daz Studio. I am running out of room on the hard drive. Any suggestions on what I can do? Other than stop buying 3d models, of course.

Folder Placement Question

dash2128 — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 15:27:40 +0000

Hello,

When I attempt to load an alien shell onto a G8M- or load the new figure directly (it seems to have a stand-alone option for the figure)- I get the 'missing files' message, and nothing happens.

(I noticed that the runtime folder in this 3rd-party figure, is visible in the tree, but doesn't lead anywhere.)

The product is for G8M-G8F.

So where do I place the extracted files, so that they will work in Daz?

Correction Needed for Zeddicuss Products

Setalia — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 14:51:10 +0000

Recently, I bought the following pose/expression items:

Z Express Yourself - Poses & Expressions for Genesis 3 and 8

Z The Fearless One - Poses and Expressions for Mei Lin 8 and Genesis 8 Female

The Compatible Figures field lists both Genesis 8 and Genesis 8.1. Although the poses work for both 8 and 8.1, the expressions only work on G8. It would be helpful to add this information in the description.

I am a new Daz user (3 weeks), and of 3d in general, so perhaps others will be confused by some things in the store as I've been.

Thanks

Daz started to crash on render - no changes.

Jappa123 — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 16:09:36 +0000

Hi, something weird happened to my Daz studio, basically every scene with more than 1 figure crash at the beginning of render.

I've been playing around Daz of months never had any problems like this, yesterday everything was fine and today I can't render scenes which I was able to render yesterday.

Some details:

- Tried to update GPU drivers - didn't fix the problem.

- After daz crash internet browsers also freezed and go white/not responding, overall whole PC after crash feels kinda "delayed" - all this is random sometimes there are some issues after crash sometime don't.

- Got few interesting "errors" after crash once browsers show "out of memorry" and once Daz show something like you have wrong opengl version 1.11 should be 1.13 (don't remember correctly)

It's looking like some memorry issues since I can render scenes with 1 figure without problems but it was working just fine yesterday with 3 or more figures.

Any idea what happened? Thanks!

Transfer shape changes to actor in a series

pixelquack — Sun, 30 May 2021 21:56:13 +0000

Series of 10 pictures, then I realize a much better shape set for one, eye shape, different browes, leg shape etc; a handful of tweals.

Now these tweaks are in picture 10. How do I get these changes onto the other 9 without having to reload, reshape, re-pose the other 9? So, like "apply to existing characters", but that deosn't work from a saved Scene Subset of the character.

Quadro k6000 for iray

RemiliaSutton — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 17:28:37 +0000

Will a quadro k6000 work with the latest version of iray? They're 12gb vram and going for about $300-$350 range on eBay which is the maximum I'm willing to pay for a gpu. Anybody still use this card for iray today? Any success? I'm planning on getting one but don't wanna waste $350 as I'm on a fixed budget

Rera 8.1 morph seems to be missing from Product or improperly working

Mr Bowen — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 19:12:34 +0000

When I load the [Rera 8.1 morph] character, it loads on Genesis Female 8. When I load 8.1 to apply the morph manually, the mouth becomes disfigured.

What is the most ideal way to set up DAZ and content?

MPCreativeArts — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 00:22:59 +0000

Okay, I have a computer that is solely here just for DAZ. There's almost nothing else loaded on the computer. The way my computer was set up from the factory, I have two drives. THe C drive, which has a total storage of 237GB and the E drive, which has a toatl storage of 1.81TB. In an effort to keep everything centralized, I put DAZ, and all directories on the E drive. Up until yesterday, everything had been running fine. Now, my genesis 8 smart content won't load and I'm contemplating trying to clean everything up. I have a ton of DAZ content (most from the DAZ store, some other items in different folders) but I feel like there's a disconnect between the content on the computer, and DAZ recognizing the content.

I'm also considering getting an external hard drive to store DAZ content on because soon, I'm going to use up all of the 1.81TB on the E drive. What should I be worried about when I do this? How do I ensure I don't lose all the characters I've made and saved? At this point, I have well over 5,000 scenes and well over 100 OC's created. I don't want to lose those.

OOT Hair Blending - Documentation?

nabob21 — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 22:42:31 +0000

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is any kind of documentation that tells you how to use the hair blending with OOT hairs models? I have several of his hair models and they look really great, but I have never been able to get the hair blending to work and I can't seem to find any instruction on how to use it. Any help pointing me to a tutorial or something would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Surface setting not showing up

danny_f94701dd — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 21:17:30 +0000

I have no clue what happened. I was working on a model, shut down the program and came back an hour later. I opened Daz, loaded in a fresh G8 model and I get this for surfaces. None of the settings show up unless I click the arrows and open each one individually. I've tried to reset my preferences, restarting Daz, I'm just not sure what I did

DazCentral 'open' button does nothing

gekido — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 21:30:43 +0000

What is the 'open' button supposed to do in DazCentral? Because it doesn't do 'anything' for me?

For example, I have the 'daz to max bridge' installed, have an asset that I'd like to open in Max - so I find it, hit open...and nothing.

Curious if it's just broken for me or what it's supposed to do in theory.

Drago's Alternate Textures and Horns Missing Files

Zwyt — Wed, 19 May 2021 01:43:19 +0000

Looks like [Drago's Alternate Textures and Horns Missing Files] this product has a missing file according to Daz Studio, it says that the following file is missing when trying to load the Cinder Emissive texture: runtime/textures/fenixphoenix/drago alternate textures/dat_eye_emission.jpg

I haven't tested yet to see if there are any other missing files, I filed it as a bug report, but I was just wondering if anyone else was having this issue or if I should just try uninstalling and reinstalling.

Thanks,

Charles

planning on a new pc - any advice on the parts ?

5200north — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 22:44:26 +0000

these are the parts i've chosen so far. nothing is set in stone (other than the case i've already bought) but i want a white/silver pc so the parts reflect that. also, i have a ssd already which i forgot to include in the list.

also, i know i'm in for a difficult time getting a gpu these day, but a 3060 with 12 gb soulds like it would be amazing. if you knew what i'm working with now you'd all laugh.

After updating to 4.15 content wont load anymore

New install on new PC

sberlins — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 02:52:44 +0000

Installed DAZ Studio to new computer. Now Face Transfer is saying only have 3 saves remaining. Can't seem to locate where I put the key for FT.

Also, install manager doesn't want to work anymore. Enter username and pw and then it just quits.

Skin issue

Boomerz — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 23:33:54 +0000

Okay, somehow my textures sometimes end up like this and I can't do anything about it? This happens when I load a new texture, it's like it's not covering the whoile UV and keeping the old texture on some parts of the UV.

Anyone got a solution or know what the issue is? Btw I'm new to Daz.

Duplicate formula found linking...

arnon — Sun, 30 May 2021 12:57:53 +0000

After innumerous nag screens with only "OK" to confirm I went through the log file to get rid of the annoying "Duplicate formula found linking..." message.

So I got around 50 error entries concerning DogZ&Zev0 "200 Plus face and body morphs"

Log says:

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

How to get rid of these? I reinstalled the package, but still this message appears. I am pretty sure I got no double installations. Furthermore I got no idea what this input/output values mean. When I deinstall the package the error messages are gone, but some of my models of course require these morphs and then I get another error message "Morphs not found".

'Select all' issues- anyone else having them?

dash2128 — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 19:53:13 +0000

Hello, this rarely happened, until recently, where it happens frequently, now.

When I click on a figure (or prop, ect...), the software 'selects all', unless I am VERY careful. It used to not be so finicky, before the updates.

...and my computer freezes, when 'select all' is activated. ...a considerable amount of work and time are lost, when this happens, and it does it a lot, now.

Is there a way to disengage 'select all', so that this feature can be turned off?

'Select All' Issue- I may have discovered why it does it!

dash2128 — Thu, 20 May 2021 18:17:26 +0000

A lot of work is (constantly) lost when the hated (by those it plagues, at least) 'select all' feature selects everything, and causes the computer to either freeze, or run so long that it has to be shut down.

After not being able to discover why the mouse was causing this, ...when it did it today, a small 'right-click' box appeared (for just and instant!- never had, before) with 'select all' at the top- highlighted!

Perhaps this command- 'select all'- should NOT be placed at the top of the list! Some benign command would be okay. This might end the issue.

Can an update resolve this problem? Place the 'Select All' command in a benign place?

That would be great, because I would really like this issue to just...go away!

Canvas Folder being created for each image saved

holden_attradies — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 16:46:26 +0000

Starting yesterday daz has been creating a folder with an exr file with the same name of every image I save. Any idea why it is doing this and how to make it stop?
