I often select a body part of a figure, then select all children, then lock the pose for selected items. Then apply a pose, then unlock the selected items again.

I'd love to be able to just select a part, like a forearm or shoulder, and run a script to selected all children and lock selected items pose. And a second script to unlock when needed.

I copied MjCasual's script for mjcSelectAllMyChildren that he posted a few years back in the freebies forum. But don't know anything about DAZ scripting. I can follow what's being done, but don't know the functions and objects that are available to access.

Here is that code:

var roots = Scene.getSelectedNodeList();
var n = roots.length;
for( var i = 0; i < n; i++ )
{
 selectChildren( roots[ i ] )
}
 
function selectChildren( root )
{ 
 var children = root.getNodeChildren( true ); //recurse 
 var n = children.length;
 for( var i = 0; i < n; i++ )
 {
  var node = children[ i ];
  node.select( true );
 }
}

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I've tried removing and re-applying the hair, and also deleting and re-importing the figure I've been using into the scene.

Any idea what's causing this and how I fix it? 

EDIT: A friend told me that this is an issue of the skull cap incorrectly interacting with the figure's head, and that it can be solved by using adjustments on the hair.  In my case, I discovered that if I changed Hair > Actor > Adjust-CheekR and Adjust-ForeheadDepth to a few percent negative, the issue went away.  Only thing I don't understand is why it just suddenly showed up, but, well, I guess that's Iray... lol

The characters in the picture are black, glossy, almost without reflection, with a deep feeling.

How can you set such a skin effect?

My main issue is that I can't seem to get the cloak to drape properly- the dress works fine, but the cloak part remains flared out as if it's caught on something invisible. I've tried deleting the belt colliding object and the weight maps but nothing seems to make a difference.

I'm also finding that there's two options for the clothing, only one of which will loat mats- again, I've no idea why.

I feel like something that clearly doesn't work as advertised straight out of the box should come with a manual or at least some sort of advice, but there's nothing. Has anybody else used this set? Any advice?

Can anyone help me with this one?   Whenever I load "Sky HD for Genesis 8 Female" the face and ears al appear black (image attached).   Adding one of the makeups fixes the face but the ears remain black.   I've tried reloading the skin, played with different translucencis and normals on/off in hopes it might fix it, but with no success.   Any suggestions how to fix this?

Thanks for any help,

Erika HD & Brickhouse Beauty Morphs for Genesis 8 Female

but it has a flat navel and its not realistic as you can see in the image.  I then checked my other characters navels and they have better navels like they have sort of dark texture inside navel like a line or something.

How do I make it better, can you guys guide me?

Daz Connect Offline Package (SEP file) links are 404 Not Found, Daz Connect is available but these products are missing in Smart Content pane :

• 4826 Oriental Tranquility
• 9804 Reparation
• 23264 Michael 7 Intimates for Genesis 3 Male(s)

Thank you,

I am having an issue with the Content Library not showing all of my characters as thumbnails. If I go to the Genesis 8 Female Character folder I only get icons showing up for about half of my G8 characters. Characters that have names that start with the letter A up to the character that is named P3D Bella Blue show up, but all the rest of my P3D characters and any other characters that have names that start with the rest of the alphabet don't show up. And I have many additional P3D characters as well as characters tht have names that run from P3D right up to the letter Z. I have checked, and all of my characters have icon files in the main Character Folder so I don't know why they aren't showing.

However if I go to the Genesis 3 Female Character folder, all of my character icons show up. I do have many more G8F characters than I do G3F characters so I am wondering if there is some limit to the number of character isons that can be displayed. All of my characters do show up in the Smart Content Window but I like to use the Content Library Window because it allows me to see only the characters that are made for a specific Generation figure (e.g G2F, G3F, G8F, G8M etc.).

If anyone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly I can't access the Daz Studio WINDOW and HELP menu. Has anyone had this problem?  Thanks.

In install manager I have managed to map all the paths to my D: drive as required except for the Installation/Content Database Base path. I change it to the D: Drive path using the same process as everything else, but after I press Accept and go back into the tab the Content Database Base field has reverted to the C: path. I have tried to change this several times but it won't let me change it. Without changing this path the whole exersize is useless. Please help (See Screenshot below)

but when I installed external packages I kept installing them to C.\Users\Dexter\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\

Now I wanted to move everything to a second hard drive as Daz depletes my C drive, but I don't know what to do: all instructions here on the forums only talk about the DIM bit, but what do I do with the 3rd party?

Where do I tell Daz that's gone then?

Can I merge them? Should I? Should I not? 

i tried to install GOZ plugin but i got an error 'the instalation path for daz studio could not be found...can someone help me with this? i am new user

thanks

Am thinking of switching from a Macbook to a PC. To be honest, I am not the most techy person in the world, so sorry if this is basic stuff. 

Help with some questions would be most appreciated, please. 

My first question is: I have an extensive library of Daz content on my Macbook - all bought from the Daz shop. Will it all convert over to a PC okay? Will there be any special process involved in converting it? Or do I just download and install Daz studio on the PC, log in, and install the content? 

Second: Are there any other technical issues or difficulties I will run into with Daz by switching from Mac to PC? 

I am thinking of getting a HP Envy laptop, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD (a laptop works best for me, as I need portable, and space is an issue at home). Any reason I should avoid this model? I largely render art - no animation. 

C:\Users\Myself\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library\data\cloud 

occupy about 5 GB of memory on my C drive.  Can I delete this directory without causing any damage? What is it's purpose?

I have a portion of my clothing that I've added some extra bones to that have ERC handles and all. When I added bodyshape morphs such as Bodybuilder, the joints do not adjust to the new shape.

Is there a way I can adjust this new rigging so that when someone dials in the clothes' new bodyshape, the rigging will also adjust?

I'ved tried to do the "adjust figure rigging" like I would do for a character morph but it seemed to not be working.

Any help or direction would be grateful

Thanks

Is there a place where that render is saved so I can recover it?

Thanks! :)

Thanks!
