It's a problem that I used to see every once and a while and now has gotten to the point where absolutely every time I load anything that involves a G8 Figure (Store Bought G8 Figure, Saved Scene Subset G8 Figure or Saved Scene that has a G8 Figure of any kind) into even an empty Viewport having just opened DS after probably also Restarting my Computer, no matter what it starts to load Assets, gets about 1/5 of the way through the progress bar, then freezes and says (Not Responding) for maybe 30 seconds to a Minute.

Not the end of the world, just wondering if there's anything I can look into to possibly remedy the problem. My System is nothing special, but it never did this at all until a handful of months ago.

Windows 10 / DS 4.12.117 Pro Ed (64-bit)

Intel Quad Core i7-6700 / 3.4 GHz

16 GB DDR4 System Ram

Windows and DS on one SSD / All DS Content on separate dedicated internal SATA SSD

Don't think the GPU would come into play, but:

RTX 2060s 8 GB / Studio Driver 442.92

As far as Security Software, I only use Windows Defender and I've tried turning everything under "Virus & Threat Protection" Off, still acts exactly the same way...

Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When I load a base G8F or G8M I have noticed in the log that morphs are being loaded that are not part of the character. For example:

I would like to remove these morphs so that DAZ does not look for them.

Recommendations, thoughts, any feedback?

I'm attempting to recreate historically famous paintings in DAZ, that includes some nudes.   Some of the genesis generation characters come with their own Iray genitalia materials, but most don't.   Trying to apply gen mats from one character to another is a hit-or-miss, and never quite right without additional adjustments, and even then, it's not spot on.

I've read that using the torso surfaces and applying to the gens works is how to do it, but I've been unsuccess in applying them to the anatomical elements.  My process I've been following:

- Highlight gen character in Scene window => Open Surfaces pane => highlight character => Surfaces => highlight (only) torso => right click => "Copy Selected Surfaces(s)"

- Highlight gens => Open Surfaces pane => highlight gens => right click => "Paste Selected Surface(s)"

But nothing happens, the gens remains white.   Is there a process for doing this I'm missing?

Thanks in advance...

I am very new to DAZ Studio and downloaded it last weekend. I've just been playing around and buying a bunch of ready-made models for me to play around with and I was wondering if anyone can help me out with something. 

When I bought the models Dain 8  and Michael 7 , I somehow managed to have both of them apply to my existing Genesis 8 Male figure I have been working on. Not sure how or what it's called but it's really helped out with morphing it with the right balance (Having a little bit of Dain and Michael in varying levels of the head/face and the body build.)  You can see a bit of it in the screenshot (Screenshot 1) 

Now, I am wanting to get a third figure in the mix, Scott 6 (mainly because I do prefer his body sculpt more) but still wanting to keep my progress with the model that I just did (Dain + Michael morph). So I was just wondering, how do I add a Scott 6 body morph slider within my existing model? Is this something that's possible? I wasn't quite sure how to ask as I am not sure what the feature/technique is called. 

Thanks!

It says that required products are two products fit control for Genesis 3 and 8 males.

If I do not plan to use the fit control for Genesis 3 males right now do I need to buy that product?

Can I still use the addon for Genesis 8 males if I I only buy the Genesis 8 fit control?

When I import some obj files, extra facets are added in the texture shaded and rendered modes, making the object unusable

The facets are not in the model

The facets do not show up in wireframe

The model in the image is of a camera lens

The model was made as a NURBS model

I tried making the polygonal mesh in a couple different software, Rhino and Max, and at different setting (they look fine in those applications and between them)

For sure a Daz Studio bug

Anyone have a fix for this?

I just bought the Felidae Lion dForce Addon by AM.

How do I get this wind simulation ? It says there is a preset for that, but I don't know where to find it.

Thank you

I tried adjusting the pose myself, but the arms and legs don't match up perfectly.  Any suggestions on getting a G2F figure into a V4 figure T-pose?

I do not know how to explain what is happened on my g8 male and female characters, they are to hard to move in scene when I want to pose them, for exemple clickning and holding a hand bone to move for extend the arms are so dificult and "freezy" for secs and then it move, it is not happening on genesis 1 and v4m4 figures. Do you know what is going on ?

So I ventured into the world of animation.  And I wanted to make an object appear and disappear in the timeline.  I will admit, that my knowledge of the timeline/animation function is still limited.  So, going forward, is it possible to make objects fade in and fade out in the timeline?  I tried using the opacity function at different keyframes, but it doesn't seem to be working...

Will I need to buy AniMate2?  KeyMate or GraphMate in order to have this function happen?

Thank you in advance for all the advice.

He says - "I have a strange and mildly anoying issue in Studio. When I open the program for the first time I have the File-->New option available in the dropdown menu.
But after that, even if I save the file I'm currently working on, the option is always greyed out."

He says he has had to create an empty scene and load that as the "new" option doesn't show in the drop-down menu. He has the same version of DS on another computer which he says works fine.

He's an experienced DS used and this problem has him (and me) flummoxed.. Any suggestions?

How do i make Download manager stop putting Daz on my C drive, and put it on my D drive(where it was suposed to be) this time?

It never really gives me any options, It just downloads and installs it without asking where I want it.

My other files loads just fine and it only affects my latest work.

I guess I should have thought of this before, but the bigger problem is that my new computer has a 128gb SSD and a 1Tb HDD. I have started with d/l DS to the SSD and had planned to put content on the HDD, but its clear that even this way, with my other other programs the SSD will soon fill up. Therefore my new plan is to completely uninstall and reinstall ALL Daz Studio and content on to the HDD - in other words D Drive. But this isn't simple

1) I can't uninstall DAZ Studio as there is no uninstaller - where is it, and if there isn't one how do you uninstall? I don't really want to do a System Restore, even thought with a new computer it won't be the end of the world. So I'm stuck here at the moment with a partially working 4.12 that I can't uninstall

2) Assuming I can clean uninstall, what is the best way to reinstall DS to get best result? Is it via DIM or is it manual? If its via DIM, I see there are other threads showing how to change the paths from the default C: to the new drive, but is there anything else that needs to be done for a new install on a different (in this case :D) drive?

3) Having done all that, and assuming all DAZ content is then d/l and installed via the DIM, what is the best way to move 3rd party and poser content from "My Library" to the new computer - do I simply copy on a storage device and transfer it across - if I do this will DS recognise and find the files ok? I understand that saved scenes and characters may not work, it would be nice if they did but again its not the end of the world

Could really use some help on this so TIA

If anyone can tell me what setting I may have accidentally triggered, I would appreciate it.

I DS, I've tried every combo of baking, memorizing, etc. but doesn't seen to have any affect.  Not having proper docs for the process of course doesn't help.  Hoping someone might know what I'm missing here.

If I remove all the fur objects & just export the squirrel w/ same settings, it seems to come in correctly.

Poser version works ok, as I have just found out.

I've added dforce modifier: dynamic surface to each clothing object. 

What am I doing wrong?  

What can it be? I have no idea on how to fix this and can't find anything when I search about.

"Great attention was made to get the best shapes for the dress according the poses, but this dress is dForced and can be simulated to get the best natural wrinkles for the chosen pose. When used, the dForce Bow Belt gives the dress an complete different shape and it adds great wrinkles to the dress."

My question is about the words "when used". There is no documentation indicating how to use the belt. Would the PA please provide some instructions on "how" to use the belt to get the results shown in the promo pictures.

I find the 1080 is fast enough for out door scenes with up to 5 characters and a combination of HDRI and spot lighting but for enclosed indoor lighting it dose slow down quite a bit.

I guess my question would be the cost vs performance of two 1080's or the one 1080 plus a 2080?

Thanks

I know this question has been addressed before but when I search its for older versions and I want to make sure im not going to mess anything up in the current version.  I know not to mess with scripts and such, it will mainly be for better organization of clothing and for items that wasn't placed in folders properly to began with (or maybe they were that way in older versions I don't know for sure).

i installed a lot freebies from Sharecg, Renderosity, Deviantart with the content wizard.

After a while i had a look in the my daz studio library folder and detected that the content wizard has installed lot of files on the wrong place.

See an example in the attachment.

The files are not installed in My DAZ Studio Library \ People or \data ...
They are installed in My DAZ Studio Library \ Productname \ People, runtime, data ...

how can i correct this and how can i correct the wrong installe files.
At the most files they seem to be in the WRONG AND IN THE RIGHT directory.
That's strange too.
 

what can i do and how do i use this tool correct?
Must be the path in the zip file be changed?

What is the correct path that must be in the zip-files?

Of course the SmartContent does not work here too

My 4k monitor does not work with DAZ, because it has no settings for DPI. I find this interesting because DAZ is a graphical product. Is this something DAZ is working to fix?

It's hard to work when you're using a magnifying glass to see text, or you are viewing text like it's from a 90's video game.
