I had downloaded both with the Install Manager, at seperate times. I had not used the male version previously. I had used the the female version, and it loaded and rendered as expected.

I then made a scene with both. I loaded the female version first, it worked as expected. I loaded the male version and nothing worked right. I did not get error messages. The ray-gun loaded as the grey block placeholder. The bodysuit loaded with the texture scrambled, and the geometry blocky.

After trying to fix it in the surfaces tab unsuccessfully (changing the UV and tiles) I uninstalled and resinstalled. I deleted the suit from the male figure in the scene and saved the scene. I had turned off the program during the reinstall.

I loaded the scene and now the female suit has the scrambled surface. The ray-gun that was already equiped loaded as the grey block. I deleted that and tried adding it back in the scene from the female version again and that worked fine. I tried deleting and reloading the bodysuit but that did not work, giving the same result.

The male body suit loaded fine, now. I was able to add a subDivision surface to get rid of the blocky mesh.

It looks to me that maybe the files have the same exact names, so the program is not accessing the UV correctly? This has bumped up against the limits of my knowledge here. I'm thining that might not be only an issue on my machine, but maybe it is? I do have everything on an F drive, but this doesn't seem to be a path issue, exactly. But maybe its close? 

Anyway it seems like the last installed outfit works fine, the older one has issues with the UV mapping, maybe?

As a work around I've just used the male suit on the female, but it won't take a subDivision, for some reason. It did take a smoothing modifier.

Hope you are all staying safe.

I use Smart Content exclusively, and rarely feel the need to use the Content Library. In the documentaion for Advanced Filtering it mentions custom groups, presumably that would add my groups to Group Product As -> New or None

How do i create these groups?

Thanks for your help in advance!

All content is showing as a frame with the exclamation point of death.

I'm missing content.  Specifically the Haunted Mansion expansion pack 1.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled, made sure the content was in the appropriate folder, updated the database and even uninstalled DAZ.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm going nuts trying to solve this.

What the Hell is going on? Why do I have to load evrything twice? 

Please, any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 

i am kinda noob so its strange to me, i would really appreciate if someone explain why if there is a reason.

Thanks you

If not:

1. This would be a good new feature!  :)
2. Anyone know an easy way to take a bump map, and seamlessly make it 50% "smaller" in Gimp or something...?

For instance, when I select the Head of a figure in the Scene pane, I noticed that the Transforms parameter is highlighted in the Parameters pane, so I have to click on Head in the Parameter pane to adjust the head.

It doesn't matter what part of the figure is selected, it keeps jumping to Transforms as the default, which is an extra click for me to get back to the bodypart in the Parameters pane.

I just want the highest level to be the default when selecting a figure's body part.

I find when doing a lot of adjustments, this extra click to get out of Transforms, is really a lot of extra clicking constantly.

Is there a logic behind DAZ Studio defaulting to "Transforms" when clicking on just about anything in the Scene pane?

Also noticed a lot of discrepencies in the measurement (measured using measure metrics) of the body, even at delta tolerance at 0 (yeah, I also did it at 0.001 too, and at tolerance 1, only the lower part of the body was affected somehow, the upper was unchanged), regardless of what I chose it would loose slight measurements in all of the body parts.

Any suggestions? I tried rebuilding the database, but when it re-imported metadata, it went back to showing my old content again. Is there no easy way to just have Studio see her content only when she signs into Daz? Not wanting to violate content sharing rules at all, but it seems determined to do so. 

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Recently I bought the sasquatch figure by Raw Art and I've noticed a problem.

When I apply the female morphs that come with the sasquatch model. I get an issue when I try and move the character's fingers.

I don't have this problem when the male morphs are applied, it only happens when the female morphs are on.

Other than the hand issue the rest of the model works fine with no other issues.

What is this problem I'm having? is it a rigging issue? and how can I fix it?

Ive created a character custom from use of other morph packages and other character dials.

My character will not move in my scene now because of the morphs im assuming.

Is there a way to save all the morphs into one whole character shape without pulling from all of the other morphs involved? I feel like its a memory problem or something but i may be wrong.

I hope I am explaining this properly.

I dont want to share or redistribute my character, I just want to load my character easily without involvinbg all of the other packages so i can use my character. this isnt the first time ive had this problem, Id like to solve it once and for all.

thanks in advance for any advice or help.

- combine stuff from DAZ with stuff from other sites
- have a better organisatzion with clothing, characters etc.

Now since I move the stuffe in the People-folder around it seems that the connections to smart content break. Because using smart content for searching does often show broken thumbnails. How can I make studio aware that the people folders locations change. Of couse the data- and runtime-folders do not change. So where are the paths stored? Can I kind of "re-index" or would I need to manually update things?

A noob question perhaps, but one I couldn't find answers to in tutorials... When I load in Biscuit's Jam Hair, it comes in a windy shape. How can I get rid of the effect so that it hangs normally? (See screenshot)

Thanks in advance!

How do I shut off snap so I can move this object manually?

Christian 8 with Christian 8 HD add  on as an example.

it stays white/gray like it usually is during loading, even though it has finished loading( the yellowish bar)

if I try to zoom in or out, then for a second it becomes colorful/with textures as it should be, but snaps back to grey.

picture attached.

edit:odd, it appears to be fine with other projects, just this one

is there a fix for this, so i can put clothing on them?

Windows 7: Daz Studio opens in around 45 seconds.  The scene loads in about 70 seconds.  Render time is about 30 minutes for Iray to reach 1500 samples and stop

Windows 10: Daz Studio opens in about 180 seconds.  Scene loads in 8 minutes.  Render timer is 6 hours for Iray to reach 500 samples... I fell asleep waiting, and when I woke it was only at 500 samples and still going so I stopped the process.

Both were rendering in GPU but with windows 7 the fan on my card was booking it.  When the render started I could HEAR the fan kick on.  Windows 10, it picked up a little but not really much.

I did update the drivers for 10 direct from the Nvidia site.  

Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks

Any thoughts on what I can do to speed up 10? or at least Daz working with 10?  I know my hardware could use an upgrade, but a few days ago with 7 I was happy with the way everything was working with Studio.  Now it's slow as hell and forget about using the auxilliary window with Iray on, it straight doesn't do anything at all.

Could it have anything to do with DirectX 12?  I mean, I doubt it, but I'm spitballing here...  Maybe a registry issue, or I dunno...

So far, from what I've noticed, they are props and poses. Some of the poses are clearly marked with gender versions, but either don't show up if fliter is checked.

Anyway to change this?

I've installed 200 face morph sliders for DAZ (copied to the correct folders in My DAZ3D Library, double-checked - everything is where it should be)... However, I don't seem to have them appear in the parameters section when I select the head. Am I doing something wrong? I've been following the YouTube tutorial below and it seems that where he's supposed to get those sliders - I don't. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtxsDxKY5Ok&t=235s

All my files seem to be where they should, e.g. C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\DogZ&Zev0\200 Plus

So I can make sure all have the correct useable values and dont need again finetuning.

I want to start learning how to make animations with DAZ , any tips on where I should start ?  I am looking for a good tutorial, paid or free doesnt matter.

Thanks
