I'm liking it so far, but I do have one question; how do I fit clothing onto her without it looking like the clothing is under her fur rather than over it? I know it's a dForce thing, but I'm not quite sure how it works; I'm still learning things. 

Can anyone give me some pointers? 

The breast shape apply / remove work as well.

I looked for documentation on the product but can't seem to find any.

Turning the limits off also does not help.

What am I doing wrong?

This is all that appears in the log file when attempting to apply one of the poses:

I'm running the latest version of Catalina (10.15.5) and the latest version of DIM. I was trying to dowload my latest purchases and DIM says my username and password don't match my store ID. I reset my password on the store just to make sure the error message didn't have to do with the change password requests I'd get when I'd log in to the website.

Anyone else encounter this?

I've searching through forums for my answer, yet I was not able to find the right search terms or so, so please just give me a link if it's already discussed elsewhere. Thank you.

So, my problem is, I want to render out him, without the black light-blockers: Blocker_Image1
But I want to render out only the cat, everything else should be transparent. I have a HDRI for environment, I can turn the dome invisible, but I have other lightsources as well, and the lighting conditions would change without the blocker: Blocker_Image2

It is not possible to make it as far to not be visible in the scene, as it's an indoor scene with some outside view, and the camera view would be this: Blocker_Image3

Please help me, how could I achive to block light with something invisible? How can I make invisible the black blocker, but keep the light outside of it?

Thank you in advance!

There is a special character that causes trouble in 70141 Sea Shanty Props : Bodhr▀n

Is this an intentional change or a bug? And either way, is there a way around it?

No problem, I said to myself, I'll just create an arbitrary folder to have it install these to, and give the DIM that path.

I made the path, on the second HDD I have all my Daz Studio stuff stored on, went to copy-paste the path to the Path field in the pane the DIM presents me when it tries to install the content... but after I click OK, it just pops me right back to the same pane again.  I also notice it does not seem to let me do anything with the three apparent dropdown selectors there, above the Path field:  Name, Version, and Bit.  I click those, and nothing comes up under them.

Not a major biggy, since apparently I CAN just manually unzip the package and install the contents to my folder of choice, but it's wierd that DIM won't let me manually set a path for this stuff.  Or is there some wort of workaround I can do to make it accept that path?

I unchecked the first two checkboxes in system preferences/mission control but this makes changing spaces by selecting an app slower but does not prevent studio from bringing itself to the front once a render is done.

Using v4.12.1.117 on Win10 Pro v1909, i7 6700 and 32GB RAM. I've tried latest beta at Support's request, with no improvement, and I've uninstalled/reinstalled DAZ.

Anyway, if that was all, I'd let the issue play out with support, but there's more. Around the same time this started happening, I started getting some weird effects in the iray viewport: 

• Massive overexposure if there was any distant light active in the scene ()
• Weird effects with shells and scalp borders ()
• Very inaccurate shades on skin, etc. Sometimes very pale, sometimes green-ish (no photo example, sorry)

Rendering has been fine, and doesn't show any of these issues; it's just in the viewport when using iray. I'd love to hear it's a setting I've borked unknowingly, and hoping somebody here can set me straight.

Any help would be much appreciated. I've learned to make an adjustment, save my work, make adjustment, save my work. Not a fun workflow...

I first encountered this with a dForce Poncho so that's the only common factors I've noticed; posed, dForce & upper body clothing. In that case, the weight maps weren't correct.  Tried a baking test which put the Poncho maps in accord with the figures maps, but it still had distortion below Pelvis.

At this point, I'm not sure where or what to investigate. Suggestions?

Specs | DAZ 4.12.1.117 | High Sierra 10.13.6 | GTX 760 | i7 6700K

My Goal: The villain with the stretchy super power extends their arms and coils them around a cop. I hope to make multiple renders demonstrating his arms coiling his victim, the arms having restrained the cop's upper body with their arms pinned to the side and at least another where the villain is forced to release ther victim due to the cop biting them. I'm currently using Genesis characters. 

So my initial idea was to import both characters into Blender and sculpt the villain's arms to wrap around the victim or maybe use some sort of super simple skeleton rig and then break the arm bone into several smaller bones pose said bones around the victims body and export the result as an obj. I'm thinking that there's a better way and was hoping that maybe somebody more experience would either give me a suggestion as to what to do, or could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

This is my first message in here so please be kind to tell me if I'm not writing in the right place or not using the correct way to ask a question. Thanks! ;-)

I've been using Daz for several months now, and I recently changed to a 3D-dedicated computer, that was assembled from former unused desktop and added a brand new graphic card.

On my previous computer, Daz Install Manager would work perfectly, I could download products, install, unisnstall without any problem.

On the new computer, Daz Install Manager fails to download any product, with the following message in the log:

WARNING: SSL Error: 11 - The issuer certificate of a locally looked up certificate could not be found
WARNING: Network Error:  : SSL handshake failed

It turns out that my husband is a developer and he tried to figure out what this is about (some threads on this forum mention the same warning messages but generally, no solution is given related to this specific issue). It appears that it has to do with certificates not properly configured. He tried to manually download certificates from daz3d.com in the browser I'm currently using but it's a nightmare to understand what to do with these in Windows (he tried some 'certutil' commands but in vain).

My configuration (taken from the same log file as above). I don't know if it can help:

Does anyone know what to do to solve this? There are some products I can't install at all after I bought them, maybe I could install them with Install Manager since they worked on my previus computer before...

Please help me! :-)

please excuse the UV grid, but yes the error still occurs on the default texture set (i'll change it back once i find the troublesome file)

these are definitely part of the sweater mesh, and the bumpmap seems to be being used, but i haven't found anything relating to diffuse or specular maps for the affected areas - but on close inspection they look rather generic and un-detailed compared to the rest of the sweater

the outfit comes with a destroyed/zombie option, but as far as i know i'm not using those textures - but maybe related to those somehow?

does anyone have an idea of how i can fix this? i'm an experienced max user but new to Daz 3d, so it's probably a simple user error...

thanks for reading.

The order of menus were messed up .. my script menu option vanished all together .. custom keyboard shortcuts had been cleared .. 

Anyway, I've managed to restore most of it .. but what's worse, my ability to multi-select objects and apply actions to them has been removed .. A couple of examples being :

• Selecting both eyes and using "Constraints" drop down menu to point them both at a single camera .. now, I have to do it one eye at a time
• Multi-selecting all the environment assets (walls, rooms, furniture) etc and making them all visible or invisible with one click on the Display tab .. now, I have to do it ALL one item in the scene tab at a time 

Now, I figure at the crash a config file or two got corrupted .. but the Multi-Select and Apply Action thing .. I don't know where or how to restore that .. I've seen the "Eye Point" one at a time ONLY when I've used the Beta's .. but never seen it in the live build .. 

Anybody got any idea how to switch this back on so I don't have to do everything one painstaking thing at a time?

Thx in advance ..

A while back I got all the Airport Island bits through a sale. I was so excited I set it all up and just flew around looking at the neat places to set up scenes.

Then I tried to add a character to the resort.

Unfortunately DAZ has the annoying bug where the eyes go black if you're too far from the 0,0,0 point and the places I would like to explore with sets are over 20k to 30k...clicks away.   

I've tried moving the entire island by putting it in a group and moving it so that the place where I want to set up is at 000. Wow...that was massive failure.

Is there a fix for the black eyes or a way to shuffle around this set so we can actually use it?

Update: One option that works well enough...

I started experimenting with different groupings then grouping groupings (A group in a group in a group) and finally was able to move things around and rotate them. So I'm functional now. Unfortunately it seems the max distance from 000 is 2000 in this set before getting the black eyes. Workflow is going to have to be to identify the set I want then move everything to zero it out. Just an extra step now that I know what I'm doing.

They aren't shadows - the mesh light is directly over the character and slightly to the front. The only thing conceivably in a position to cast shadows would be the hair, and if I hide it they still appear.

It's not the "too far from the origin" problem. It's not the "texture seams / uv maps" problem. It's not even (I don't think) the "Iray terminator artifact" problem.

The one down the center of the arm is the most prominent, but they appear at various points on the character's upper body.

Any idea what might be causing these? Is it just Iray messing up because I've got too many light sources?

Also, Daz studio forum is unaccessible inside microsoft edge now. Just a blank grey screen? i had to use chrome now which isnt my default.

Using the Corset Dress outfit circa Bethany 7 : https://www.daz3d.com/corset-dress-outfit-for-genesis-3-female-s

It comes with some included draping poses. Here's a seated one I'd like to use:

But when I apply this to default G3:

The skirt looks closed in the thumbnail, but hangs open revealing the whole left thigh when applied.

Pose 8 Mirror doesn't really work either.

The thumb shows parts of the leg covered:

Nicely draped! But when I apply the pose:

Not that close to the thumbnail.

Does anybody else who has this outfit see this? Or is everybody else getting the drapings shown in the thumbnails.?
