I'm used to working with real-time 3D game engines, and they can reduce a texture automatically if they are far from the camera (it does the same with the geometry). Can Daz Studio do the same?

If not, what alternatives do I have?

I heard about a Scene Optimizer plugin, but I don't know in which cases I should use a 4k texture or a 2k texture.

I'm making 1920x1080 static renders that include some face close-up shots, some shirt close-up shots, some pants close-up shots, and other times, I render the character from top to bottom as a whole.

I have a male character that has his legs covered by pants and shoes. Is Daz Studio aware of the fact, and when rendering, it does not send the leg texture to the GPU?

If Daz can't do that, how can I do that myself?

Extra question: If I'm rendering only the face of a character, does Daz Studio send the texture of his torso, arms, pants... even if they don't show up in the final render?

I am... very confused, I NEVER had that before (maybe a restart will fix it, no idea).

I only try to move the bath brush into the hand by parenting it, so it will move with the hand, just a normal workflow for me, but... when I move the brush to the left hand, it shrinks O_o.

What is going on there, how can I stop that?

Before parenting:

After Parenting:

How it looks in the scene tab:

Should not even the translation not change, just because I parent it?

Edit: okay tested on a other char, it seems like to be a problem because I locked the sizes O_o....

How do you go about renaming surfaces in Daz Studio Pro 4.0.3.47?

I've got the Surfaces editor open but don't see an option or menu for doing this.

Thanks in advance!

I have updated DS and I use a Mac.

Thanks

I'm new there and I would like to try Daz studio. Unfortunately, once I've downloaded the software, I can't sign in. Indeed, I can't type the @ in the "e-mail address" bar.

I tried to fix it, reinstalling Daz Central, using a virtual keyboard, restarting my laptop, waiting 48h, pouring unicorn's horn powder on my laptop on a full-moon night... Nothing works (not even homeopathy). My only trail now is that it could come from my OS : my laptop runs Windows 7. Did anyone have the same issue ? Is there a chance I could fix this ?

Thank you in advance !

The attached image shows the shirt applied to the Indiana character in Zero Pose with no alteration to the simulation settings. During simulation the tassles move in random directions and end up pointing in random directions including upwards and even passing through the shirt material (as indicated with red circles).

Could 3D Universe please suggest a fix for this.

Thanks.

Apparently, it would have 4 Go of VRAM but I'm not sure if that is all usable by DAZ...

Its this hair in case anyone is wondering:

https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-exzela-long-hair-for-genesis-8-females

Edit: I've attached a picture to show you what I mean when I say, its not showing up on smart content. The hair itself does show when I want to add it to a scene or a gen8 figure, then the materials option and all other stuff is missing. Also, it shows up in Texture preview but not iRay.

1. It wouldn't automatically save to the folder "Scenes" but end up in My Document 

2. I can't name the file. Say I typed "FirstScene", it will end up as Library.duf, Document.duf, My Library.duf, etc and in a random location

3. Sometimes the auto-naming process tends to repeat itself, I would end up with two Document.duf so it won't allow me to save the scene

I've followed the uninstall guide with DIM and delete the residual, and then reinstall again, and then repeat the process like 3 times, still have the same issues. Can anyone help :( ????

I am a MAC OS user btw, I am using Mac OS High Sierra.

Thanks, 

Afterwards, I had clicked on my start menu shortcut for opening Daz Studio and nothing happened - it doesn't want to open anymore. I also have this same problem with Hexagon and Daz3d install manager.

I need help with fixing this problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

Everytime I start daz studio I get Resource Error.

I tryed reinstall PostgreSQL CMS via daz install manager without any results.

I changed port in daz (preferences/CMS settings) and still without any result.

Now I don't know what to do next.

Any advice?

Why does the emitter get displayed in the mirror even if I turned it off?

I got lost with one instance of Daz Studio 4.12.1.118 Pro Edition 64-bit. My draw style options menu got screewed up and I wasn't able finding the cause. My other instance using the same Daz version on a different computer works perfectly ok. Two screen shots provided of the two instances.

The first one looks as it should. The second one is causing the trouble.

Smooth Shaded, Texture Shaded and Cartoon Shaded all look the same. And it is not only the icon that is incorrect. In the viewport using Texture Shaded surfaces are totally glossy. Rendering in Iray though works as it should.

I deinstalled Daz Studio, deleted all entries in Program Data, Programs and AppData, renamed my library so Daz would not find it. All this did not help. Then I remembered there is a registry :-).

I deleted the whole Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DAZ\Studio4 tree. This solved the issue after reinstalling. Took me quite some time.

Im using the latest Nvidia studio drivers

Daz 4.12.1 pro AMD 7 3700x, 2070 RTX super, 32GB

Also set rendering optimization to Memory as suggested in the manual.

Everything else is working like a charm.

Any idea where to look to solve this issue? 

I select the Genesis 8 figure then click the script, and it says it needs a graft texture

I see no instructions on how to do graft the texture. 

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

At the same time, I'm noticing that the grafts are no longer replacing their original parts. My understanding of geografts is that they're supposed to replace the original, and they always did before. Now I get mesh collisions between the original part and the new geograft.

I can't help but think the two are connected -- maybe there's a transparency/opacity issue at work, with the graft allowing pass-through that works just fine when the underlying part is is gone but causes big problems when it's still there. Playing with removing the figure while leaving a graft bears this out: the graft is the proper color while the figure isn't there, but then becomes super-dark when it has to overlay the original mesh.

Any ideas why this would be? I'm starting to tear my hair out.

lately the only thing i did was install this script "Daz to Blender Bridge"

https://www.daz3d.com/daz-to-blender-bridge

Can someone help me?

I then work my pose(s) at any other keyframe.

When I come back to frame 0 some articulations are changed and often morphs are set to crazy high values. 

So I set back everything at 0 on that first timeline frame. But doing so modifies my work on the other frames >:[

I tried saving the pose per frame / Setting back frame 0 to neutral morph and default A-Pose / Loading back poses-morphs for each other keyframe. Doing so seems to work for a while, but after some time working on the animation, frame 0 will be modified again...

I tried to set the whole animation to Linear but it doesn't help. 

How are we supposed to work on an animation if working on 1 keyframe changes values of everything around ?

Any insight on that issue would be most welcomed.

Thanks.

I am thinking about creating a scene where everything looks very large in comparison to the Genesis figures. My question is, is it better to scale down the genesis figures or scale up the scene items. I am asking this because I don't know if there are any issues introduced by doing it one way over the other. Of course there is the issue of texture resolution, but outside of that, are there any other issues I should be aware of?

Thanks for any replies.

Today I was rendering the same scene I did yesterday as I made some slight changes in the characters pose. I didn't change any render-settings and didn't add any new assets to the scene. Only the pose of one character changed.

Yesterday, Denoiser was activated and kicked in after iteration 8 without any issues but for some reason it won't do it today. It works in the iRay Preview but not in the final render and I'm really lost, especially because I successfully rendered other pictures from that same scene the past few days and it always worked - now even in those previous scenes the Denoiser won't kick in.

In all my tests I monitored my GPU (1080ti) in gpu-z and I didn't saw any issues. Only about 8 of the 11 GB of VRAM was being used. 

I'm working with DAZ for the past 8 months and never had that issue before. Any ideas what it could be and how to fix it?

Thank you!

My specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro

Memory: 16GB DDR3

CPU: i7 870 2.93GHz  (I have CPU fallback disabled)

GPU: GTX 1080 ti

Edit: I work with the current live version of DAZ
