Never seen the strand-hair do this, but it's not following Mr. Teddy Bear.

I submitted a ticket anyway, but I could also have made an error somewhere, I suppose.

I have a fanart commission I'm hitting a roadblock on. It's for a male Blood Elf (World of Warcraft). However, I haven't found a single morph for WoW elf ears...for MALES. They're all for females. Is there a way to transfer the morphs I have for females over to a male? I know I can try to finagle something with mesh grabber or my extremely limited ZBrush abilities...however, the female WoW elf ears I have are really nice (Mousso's)...and whatever I make will not be up to snuff for me to put into a paid commission.

I've seen folks mention in other threads that I should be able to use the G8M clone and make him on the G8F base...however I'm not sure I'd be able to replicate the character I need to make facially because then I'd be limited to the female morphs I have for faces. I do have the UV swap utility, so texture is not an issue...but ideally, I'd like to just be able to transfer the elf ears over so I can use them on the male figure. 

Thanks! 

I just noticed that my 1080 ti is using 60 watts constantly with the DAZ application opened with a blank scene and the shader NOT set to IRAY. The 60 watt reading remains the same regardless of wireframe, hidden line or texture mode.

The moment DAZ is closed it drops down to 17 watts. And then I might still have other programs open like Chrome, Firefox etc. with multiple tabs.

I am going to check if 3ds max displays this behavior. This seems a bit high for just the interface with no characters loaded or iray rendering going on. Can anything be done to reduce the power consumption?

Cupboard, i made some Screenshots on my own to show how its looking on my PC when i Render in CPU or GPU Mode. you can see in the GPU Render Screenshot where you can change the Graph to Cuda(the CUDA Cores on your Graphic-Card are the ones who do all the work when you render). When you render with your GPU it should be at around 100%. When you Render using your CPU, what i think is the case, your CPU should also be working at max with a speed of around 4.5Ghz. in your screenshots its only at 45% with around 45% useage. Thats what i dont understand and mean by something is odd.

What is this? Why is it doing this?

The expression sliders I used to create the poses are set in the Posing tab.  I can see them moving around and changing position with each frame, so they are keyed in somewhere.  Where, how, can I access this information to change it?  

I've been able to fix the problem by clearing the selected pose of the head node, so maybe that's good enough.  Still, wondering why it seems like the keys were invisible to me.

https://www.daz3d.com/nylon-pantyhose-for-genesis-8-females

Just wondering when the 'torn pantyhose' update to this product will appear on the site? I purchased the advertised product in October last year and, while it is great for 'glamor' type renders, 'real world' type renders showing the pantyhose torn or with runs in them aren't possible.

Background: I have 2 compact desktop PCs running Daz Studio.  One is an AMD with a Ryzen5 2600X 6 Core Processor and a Radeon RX580 graphics card.  Naturally this PC is fairly slow to render but, runs Daz Studio at a good speed with few delays when building or amending scenes.

The second PC which is the one running slow is an Intel i7-9700 8 core and an Nvidia RTX2070 Super graphics card.  It renders much faster due to the Nvidia card, but Daz Studio itself runs much slower, despite being an even more powerful system than the AMD.

Examples: (1) simple activity like restoring figure pose on a G8 character takes 5-10 seconds on the AMD machine. Takes at least 30 secs and sometimes 1 minute or even more on the Intel.  (2) Applying LIE makeup layers on AMD about 5 secs, but takes 10-15 seconds or more on the Intel machine.

However, it is not entirely consistent, because clearing a scene and reloading an empty scene with a basic G8 character takes about the same time on both machines.

Both systems were installed with default install settings apart from changing the path(s) to the Content Library.  Both seem to have exactly the same settings in Preferences, so I'm not sure where else to look to adjust anything performance related.

Any Ideas?  Is this the right forum to raise this question or is there another better section? Or should I raise a bug report?

I want to ask you a simple question!

How to link 2 morphs to one dial? I mean, body, head, one dial to slide both! Funny but I don't remember some step.

Thanks!

just can't sign [the Licensing Agreement]it????

So all of sudden, Iray is nearly unusable in recent build. most of time my PC fail to start iteration and rendering will be done in 3 secs with a black screen.  Tried both game ready driver and studio driver, still encounter the same problem, so I doubt it's the driver issue.  

Please see log in attached

My spec i7 - 5820k 16G ram, RTX2060  

Wood, metal, etc...work normally. But one of the categories is "glazed ceramic" and it doesn't. In the workspace, everything seems normal. If I apply a red glazed ceramic shaders, it looks like that (see first image attached). But in Iray preview and in render, it turns into a kind of yellowish glass (see second image attached)  and this regardless of which shader I picked (a red ceramic and a blue ceramic will both turn into a yellowish glass) . You can see what the shader is supposed to look like on the side of the images. 

Does anybody has any idea of what the problem could be? Does anybody use this product with or without having the same problem? Thanks in advance. 

(If you can't see clearly, I'll make it larger.)

So basically, I make a scene and render it, notice something that might need some adjusting and thus cancel the render and that's when it often happens. Also happened when rendering for an hour or so and feeling that the result was what I was looking for, cancel and never could save the picture. Sometimes the computer will eventually react to my actions as even the mouse freezes. It is however then required to restart the computer because nothing will work (programs won't boot at all).

I've been checking the log out and this is one the warnings I seem to be getting regularly (or variations of it).

I've got an i7-8700, 32gb of RAM, a gtx 1070 with 8gb of memory. The scenes often are smaller than the 8 gigs on the card at least according to task manager and gpu-z, I was trying to put a new character together and had 4,8 used of the 8gb and it still froze my whole computer up. Note that it's not always happening.

I've checked my RAM with memtest, did a full defrag of my drives, checked my drives for errors. Uninstalled and reinstalled several packages. The only thing I didn't do yet is fully remove Daz and reinstall it again. Mostly because I'm afraid I'll have to re-enter several paths for saving files and making mistakes. So, I'd rather hear your opinions first before I actually go true with it. I also have quite a lot of 3rd party content, not sure if that matters.

I'm actually getting kinda frustrated and hopeless. I've not been having this exact issue for super long, but it's the worst one in a series of issues I've had with this computer even though it's fairly new (not even 2 years old).

GOAL - export an animation with Alembic and import in 3ds Max preserving all the HD morphs and high-res geometry with proper texture coordinates.

Unfortunately, when exporting a high-res mesh with HD morphs, the texture coordinates are broken.
On the other hand, when exporting the animation as a Base Mesh only (no subdivisions baked) the textures are ok but I'm loosing the details of the character's geometry (which are really important for me).

Any help with this? Thank you :)

Tho I can still mannually delete all Daz's folders but it can potentially leads to another issue when i reinstall Daz, but I just don't get it, why you guys at DAZ FAIL so much???

I have Mesh Grabber add-on.  It is pretty cool, but the changes I make with it are never saved when I save the scene.

Is this how Mesh Grabber works, or is there a way to changes those morphs it creates when you save the scene?

Thanks!

Also, do ray tracing using RTX GPU have an effect in terms of performace and quality when rendering?

I have given the model an "X pose" to attempt to fit the suit. When I tried to offset her original shape so that the suit would be thick enough to be "on" her skin, there was colision under her arms and between her legs, hence, the pose where those areas are able to be expanded. 

I have given the suit a rigging (?) that I am now unable to divorce from it, apparently. The suit is already the right shape, imo, so if I could have the rigging inside match her, I would hope that she and the suit's volume would move with no problems.

I have tried the transfer utility option. Source > current with the figure (genesis 8 female), and Target > Current with the suit. "Reverse source shape from target" is turned on. No other defaults have been checked or changed. The result gives me some undesirable geometry, uh, everywhere, especially the shoulders and hips.

This is her in the desired pose.

I've heard about weight mapping, but don't understand it? I would love some help if anyone has any advice please!

Whats happening?

And I want to simulate the cape to fall down, but not scrunch inward like it does. I tried experimenting with parameters in the surfaces tab that could maybe give me different results, and it blew things up, basically. I have no clue what I'm doing in this regard.

Any advice? Thank you!
