Wanting to use hair on a Genesis 1 bulbous-head morph

nomad-ads_8ecd56922e — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 04:38:40 +0000

Okay, this is probably a long shot.... but I'm looking for a way to adjust a regular Genesis 1 hair to fit itself around an eggheaded-alien head morph. Specifically, the head morph is Medhue's Big Brain Morphs over at ShareCG. Anyway, I've tried several different hair, checking which ones have adjustment morphs, but while a lot of them have means of making the hair wider, taller, and stuff... all but one of them wouldn't let me make them taller at the top, or expand outward and back at the upper top of the head...

Anyway, it made me wonder if there was some sort of universal add-more-morphs-to-the-hair thingy for Genesis 1, sorta like we have Fit Control to add more adjustement morphs to clothes, and we have ways to adjust the hair to hats.... Or, barring that, is there a way to override the size and position of the hair's scalp, such that the rest of the hair expands accordingly?

High Geometry is killing me

OVD — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 21:01:20 +0000

So I love this coral reef product: https://www.daz3d.com/v176-iray-coral-reef

The problem is that the corals all have such ridiculously high geometry values that the preset environments cause my PC to render straight to CPU.

Any suggestions on how to circumvent this please and thanks?

Is Daz Dog 8 supposed to have visemes?

brian71_us_5e91777928 — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 18:18:56 +0000

I see that Daz Horse 2 does so I went to check Daz Dog 8 and don't see them.

Scar 8 HD Installed but not showing up anywhere in inventory. Solved.

Sigurd — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 17:07:26 +0000

[Scar 8 HD Installed but not showing up anywhere in inventory.] I found it buried in the content library. I do not know why it was not with all the other figures. I moved it and all seems to be working now.

Help changing my forum username?

jtsmessengerdove_6e897c25fa — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 02:58:21 +0000

Hi all, I hope this is the right place for this question. I've been a long time member (art hobbist and watcher). I think my username got made into something weird when DAZ switched forum software.

Question, How can I change my username for the forums.

Face Transfer - Morphing one Face into Another

RCV_06 — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 13:27:48 +0000

Hello!

Loving the Face Transfer tool! There is one effect however I'd love to try but am unsure on how to do it.
I know keyframing the Face Transfer morph is possible but...

I'd like to be able to morph from one Face Transfer to another. Almost as if a character is changing into someone else.
Thinking like regeneration in Doctor Who.

If anyone could help that'd be amazing!

Cheers!

Rendering Genesis 2 figures using IRAY

rames44 — Sat, 05 Aug 2017 01:13:44 +0000

I'm wondering what the collective body of DAZ experts recommends in terms of rendering Genesis 2 figures using IRAY. I know about applying the IRAY Uber Shader to non-IRAY items in order to improve the rendering, but wondering what additional steps are recommended.

As an example, I see that EcVh0 has and Iray Skin Shader product for G2F. (But not G2M?) Recommended? Are there alternatives, given the lack of an equivalent for G2M?

Morphs in Shaping Tab not showing?

myutogaru — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 23:01:30 +0000

Hello,

I recently had trouble with DAZ causing me to have to re-install the program

DAZ.exe is currently installed to my C: drive with my DAZ content Library mapped to D:/My DAZ3d Library

This has never caused me problems before, I have always had my daz library mapped to my secondary hard drive with the .exe being installed to my C: drive

however as soon as I had to uninstall and reinstall it started causing problems. Now content that shows INSTALLED in both DAZCentral and DIM does not load properly, and even though I've used this directory for years DAZ is now unable to find certain textures that I know are there. For example, I tried to load DAZ Dragon3 and it asked me to locate the texture files in Runtime directory. I located the files however after loading into the scene a dialoug still popped up saying "Missing files" with a button prompting "Install Selected" for DAZ dragon. I clicked install, deleted dragon from my scene and it asked again to "Install Selected" when I tried to load him into the scene again.

Also another occurence is all my Morphs disappeared for G8F/G8M in the Shaping Tab. I went through all my installed content in DAZCentral and it says "Open" under the G8F Body/Head Morphs and also ShapeShift for G8F/G8M. So they are clearly installed however DAZ is not recognizing.

I recently combined all my directories because I had C:/ My DAZ 3d Library along with E:/ My Daz 3d Library and the D:/My Daz 3d Library . I went into my Content DB Maintenance and removed the unused directories thinking my content would load faster, but now I'm missing content. Does DAZ need a content directory in the same drive as the .exe is installed? Would I need to do a clean install? I'm genuinely lost at what the problem is considering I have everything that's "missing" downloaded in the same directory I've always used and I combined my directories so even if they were moved from one directory they are now in the same directory (being D:/ My DAZ 3d Library)

I'd very much appreciate some help as I've been breaking my head trying to get this program working again for nearly 2 weeks now

Now Crowd different brightness

Loony — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 11:43:11 +0000

Hi, I test now the first time my Now Crowds (bought some and never used... we all know that^^... like Games on Steam).

The hotspot is the stairs where the shoes are.

All are looking what there is going on, but... why is the grandma so bright? :(

@riversoftart (I still wish there are more kids^^, the beach kids would fit sadly not so good... half naked kids in the city, seems a bit cold and out of place :D In the medieval setting are also playing kids, but wrong clothes for modern city ;) )

Another wish for crowds: could you make a "Crowd bundle" with loud/silent crouds, so you can mix them, is the crowd loud or are they silent, maybe you mix them a bit, a silent crowd with some loud peoples or better make them mixable for the user, crowds looking at a spot, maybe also sitting. A Party, a Demonstration (angry or silent in peace), yeah...

Used Character Converter G3M to G8M now I am getting duplicate file warnings

Sigurd — Thu, 18 Jun 2020 12:58:19 +0000

I just bought a couple of days ago and used it for the first time this morning. Now everytime I load a G8M I get duplicate file message.

Anyway to undo this?

Thank you.

Mouse went white

Rowanessque — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 17:51:32 +0000

I don't know whether its my computer Win 7, 32.

But recently odd things happen on Daz Studio, I tried a complete reinstall and hoped it would fix it but it didn't.

When I try to load up this little mouse, Actor, I am told the file doesn't exist but if I pull the picture into the building area, the mouse appears. Naked as the day he was formed.

When I spot render him or render him, he is complete with fur, but how on earth can I see the little mouse with his fur on and his little clothes. I know there is a trick and I can't remember the trick.

Andrea, plus House Mouse.

Daz Iray noise panel missing

KixiePixie13 — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 13:10:34 +0000

Hello, I'm having a strange issue where in the Iray render settings tab, the "Noise" section disappears in certain saved scenes but is still there if I open a new scene. My renders are also suddenly very jagged and this was not happening earlier, it just started. I have not updated anything or changed anything, I hadn't even closed Daz, it just randomly changed. I tried closing the scene and reopening it, the saved scene is permanently missing the "Noise" panel. The worst part is it seems to have affected most of my scenes saved before today. I have attatched screenshots, one of an empty new scene that still has the "Noise" panel, one with the scene in question, with the missing "Noise" section and one of the render, with the jagged edges. Thank you in advance for your help.

cemmanuelc_2ea1278e1f — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 05:10:53 +0000

Hi guys. I think I messed up some settings or something. Even my saved files characters all look like default models. They are white with no skin. What can I do?

Also is there a way to restore to default settings without reinstalling everything?

Thank you,

RS-S — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 12:01:38 +0000

Hey

Any way of going back to Daz 11 (where everything was fine)

Thanks in advance for whatever help can be provided; I have thousands$$$$ invested in this program

Group cameras without position lost

Loony — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 11:52:30 +0000

Hi,

I have a bigger scene, with some cameras and wanna group them to manage them better in the scene, because sadly you cant reorder the scene if not everything is in a group (a feature I want for the future... dear devs!)

When I now add my cameras to a group they jump around, is there a way to add Cameras or general items to a Group without the problem that everything changes the place? Or can I change it after grouping?

Sometimes I think, I fixed it with clearing the timeline.

Thanks.

If someone could help me, it would be great !

DAZ Studio to ZBrush Error?

Fragg1960 — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 16:02:00 +0000

For years I've been exporting elements of DAZ Studio scenes (mostly clothing) to ZBrush for minor tweaks and adjustments. I usually export the figure with deformations (so the pose comes over and I can tweak things like capes, drapery. etc.). I just tried it and the pose keeps coming over into ZBrush with the base figure T-pose which I've never seen before. No matter which DAZ export box I check off, the results are the same. Has anyone else had this happen? Not sure if it's a DAZ-Studio side issue on the export--I suspect it is, but I've been doing this for a long time and never had an issue. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Renders not very sharp

Haruki790 — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 14:22:05 +0000

Hello, when I render my images are sometimes not very sharp no matter what lighting I use. In the attatchment I used HDRI for outside and a combination of 3 point spot and interior lights. DOF on camera is also turned off and Firefly filter is on.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

FABRIC RENDERING IN STRIPES

paolo_fabregas — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 01:30:01 +0000

Hello experts!

A DAZ3d noob here.

I bought the flying fabric and is there something wrong with my settings?

The default fabric works fine but the moment I change it to linen or something, it looks like stripes.

Anybody know how to make the different fabric work?

Importing DAZ figures into Mari

Hiro Protagonist — Tue, 28 May 2019 14:44:44 +0000

Has anyone done this successfully? When I try and create a Mari project with a DAZ figure, say G8M, the project fails to create and leaves a project name which is a long string ending in "broken" and that project does not open. The DAZ exported figure obj opens fine in Blender, and the UVs are correctly arrayed in UDIM tiles. I can't see anything wrong with it, but Mari doesn't like it. I'm using Mari Non-Commercial. This has a limit of 6 UDIM "patches" as Mari calls them, but G8 only has 6 as far as I know. My own models with UDIM layout, exported from Blender, will import into Mari fine.

PSU for Dual-GPU setup: single +12V rail or dual-rail?

mwasielewski1990 — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 23:20:45 +0000

Sup people!

As stated in the topic title... I'm awaiting for the arrival of my 2080ti, and I already have a 1080ti. I'd like to run them both, but I'm failing to understand what's the difference between a PSU that has 2 separate 12V rails and a one that has a single 12V rail. What is the benefit when using 2 rails? Is it better for a dual-gpu setup?

CB Giulia Brows

I'm clearly missing something very basic, but I don't know how to apply the various eyebrow elements to the CB Giulia character. I select the figure, then the brow shade (.duf) but nothing shows up. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

DAZ Not allowing me to Save renders! (SOLVED)

squirt — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 06:13:53 +0000

Hello DAZ gurus;

For some strange reason, DAZ 4.12 has stopped allowing me to Save my renders.. I only get the Resume or Cancel option.. I can name the render, but the Save option is greyed out..

Anybody know what's gone wrong and how to fix it.?

Your help is much appreciated.

Daz instancing and core usage

dannybeattie21 — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 21:51:05 +0000

Since the changes were introduced a couple of patches back which meant you couldn't open multiple instances of Daz easily by clicking the run icon again I've been using the instancing script which works well but has led me to wonder why the way Daz utilises the CPU cores has remained the same. The first instance of Daz uses #CPU0 and quickly hits 100% usage of this core, when I start a second instance of Daz this also uses #CPU0 which is usually already running at its maximum load.

Is there a method to alter this so that concurrent instances of Daz automatically use another core? I've got 28 cores and it's frustrating to see only one of them being used :(

Fit Control for Genesis 8 Female Crashing Daz

mathiasdeckman — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 14:01:29 +0000

The title says it all. I looked at the log file; it showed fit control going through it's steps of applying the morphs, deleting unused ones, etc. the log abruptly ends- so that's where I'm assuming it crashes.
