I tried once, to simulate across frames, but simulating certain hairs takes a very long time for just one frame, but I make animations that go to 60-100 frames. Is there a better way to do this? Or settings to adjust? Thank you.

The problem is that I can't preview what it looks like in Iray in the viewport. There must be some kind of parameter for me to switch on, but I have yet to find it. Can anyone help? Thank you.

To make it more infuriating, I'm finding this also affect to loading morphs with reverse deformations when the scale of the object is above 100%, the morph will get jagged and tear based on the weight map. However, if I dial the same morph in at a scale of 100% of the object, the reverse deformation morph takes with no problem or jagged edges on the mesh.

Is there a guide that will walk me through it?

Here are my specs:

After many attempts trying to install/uninstall Daz Studio 4.12 I am continually getting this pixelated grid in my viewport and not sure as to what is the cause. I have attached a screenshot and was wondering whether someone might have a solution to this issue thanks in advance.

I'm having issue while importing my genesis 8 model into c4d, the eyelashes comes as a seperate mesh with weight and morph tag 

After searching on the forum I still can't find how to merge the eyelashes with genesis 8 character. This result that when I want to close the eyes on the genesis 8 morph tag the eyelashes doesn't follow the lids 

See screenshot attached

Does anyone had this problem in the past ? Or know how to resolve this ? 

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks ! 

Thanks

I have (heavily) modified a shader. (Tri Layer Material Shader from 3dCheapSkate - https://sharecg.com/v/71448/view/21/DAZ-Studio/Multi-Layer-Tiling-DAZ-Brick-Materials) I am trying to figure out how to customize the Surfaces Tab on a shader. I want move some of the settings around, add some and even move some of the (this might be the wrong word for it) channels (the sliders to the far right) to make it easier for me to use. (I also plan on modifing it even more, adding an elevation setting to make snow capped mountains, etc. so I will need to add new options later)

Does anyone out there know how to do this? I have Googled and searched the forums, but I can't seem to find how to do this. It's very possible I don't know exactly HOW to ask what I am looking for. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Some of the test renders I've done using it.

I bought the Alembic Exporter plugin and installed it. But in the export settings there is no

alembic (.abc) file format which I can choose. I restarted the Computer, nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, nothing.

Do you know why? The DAZ Install Manager says, that the "Alembic for DAZ Studio" is installed. 

I really need this because I am to stupid to export corectly a .fbx File with animate2 animations for Cinema 4D.

Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to export or bake out a dForce simulation or animation so that it can be carried into an FBX (or another format) to be imported into another app like Cinema 4D?

Thank you!

I've been interested to learn DAZ rendering for a while now and tried it out on my current latptop a bit, but as it is a 4 year old, out-of-the-box laptop, it is not up to the task, as you might expect. I have been meaning to get myself a new laptop for a while now and I'm probably going to need one soon as I just recovered it from a blue screen crash, so its days could be numbered.

However, when it comes to all the hardware jargon, I haven't got a clue what any of it really means and I so I find it difficult to know what to look for in a laptop. I know a desktop tower would probably be better for DAZ rendering, but those are not only above my budget, I also do not have the space for a desktop setup and so a laptop is the best I can get.

I know that the graphics card needs to be a certain type or number, but I'm unsure of what that would be and I also do not know what would be best in terms of memory, processors, cores, etc. Ideally, I'd be looking for a configuration that allows the program to work smoothly without getting too slowed down by other processes, and one that can render a high-quality image fairly quickly.

Any and all help in this regard would be greatly appeciated, particularly if you could do so in as simple terms as possible because, as I say, I'm very much a noob when it comes to this sort of technical information. Also, I'd like to know if it would be better to get a custom-made laptop or if there are any pre-built laptops out there that might do well.

Thank you.

EDIT: I am from the UK and so would be looking for suitable hardware available here.

Is there any way to fix this?

The following files could not be found: data/daz 3d/genesis 3/female/genesis3female.dsf

Any suggestions on what might be causing it?
