DAZCentral ruined DS (SOLVED)

reserv888 — Thu, 21 May 2020 12:47:26 +0000

Since the installation of DAZ Central I can't make renders in DAZ Studio. They are pitch black.

I didn't do anything but downloaded and installed DAZ Central.

Alla scenes, even those that worked perfectly earlier today, are black when rendered.

(Just to be sure I updated the drivers of the graphics card, but that didn't change anything.)

Any ideas what to do?

EDIT: After some experimenting I've found out this:
- I can make 3DLight renders.
- I can make IRAY renders with the CPU.
That means DAZ Central changed/affected something that has to do with my Graphics card - nVidia RTX 2080 Ti.

4.12 Morph loader not working even when obj is not touched or edited

irinanmelik — Thu, 21 May 2020 19:31:11 +0000

I decided to export obj to edit on blender; using this calculation:

Cusom 1% -

Only the following checked:

Ignore Invisible Nodes

Write Normals

Write Polylines

Write Groups

Write Surfaces

Write Materials

I worked on the obj without deleting any vertices or faces. All numbers are intact and the same as they came in. But when I try to use Morph Loader Pro , it gives me geometry error.

I did this numerous times. Then I tried to test export an obj, didn't open the obj in any programs, didn't edit or anything; morph loader still gives me an error loading this untouched obj.

Please help.

Thanks!

DAZ Install Manager 'Unable to Login to the Specified Account' Issue [Resolved]

felixtrey2003 — Thu, 21 May 2020 18:08:27 +0000

Greetings,

I've used the same credentials on start-up for Install Manager for years. As it stands, I have two versions of DIM. The most recent one, and a slightly older version. Both worked independently just fine forever. It was only since a few days that I'm unable to log into either. 'Unable to login to the specifed account. Verify the email and/or password and try again.'

But the thing is, the credential fields have been unchanged for years. Even entering everything in manually still prompts the same error message. I've never encountered this problem before.

I was hoping someone else has experienced this issue recently and found some way around it!

I appreciate your time and consideration.

Possible to put 3rd party items in Smart Content Products?

sunnyjei — Thu, 21 May 2020 02:49:01 +0000

Hi all. I purchased some items from outside of Daz and want to use Smart content in Daz Studio to view it. On the Files side- no problem. But on the other side/section Products I don't know how. Ideally like with Daz bought products for example Victoria- I click on her picture and then all her stuff is together (iray/3d delight skins, makeup options, etc). Is there a way to do this with 3rd party items? Thanks in advance!

I googled "Enumerant" but get some Latein translations. "Ungültiger" is German and does mean "invalid", so Invalid Enumerant.

So...

Any idea why it is doing that? I just looked in the Log for a other reason and saw it. is it something I should worry about?

It started after this line:

IRAY BUG? Surface invisible, but still affects character's skin in iRay.

Xameva — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 21:45:11 +0000

Hello! I'm having an issue with iRay renders. When I make certain regions of clothing completely invisible, it's still affecting the skin of my character in the final render. Please see the image examples below. The clothing item is full length gloves by Lilflame with several length options. But this issue happens with all clothing items.

The first image example is when I stopped the iRay render quickly to show iRay calculating the region that was made invisible. It should not be calculating a surface that is made invisible. The second image shows the final result (high quality iRay render settings) with the skin looking a bit muddy, if you zoom in and look closely you can see the difference of the smooth shoulder skin compared to the upper arm skin.

Is there a fix to this?

Thank you very much.

I applied a dForce Modifier and ran the simulation. It concluded as expected to my mind, but there was an error flagged by Daz Studio.

It just a collision of a t-shirt against a ground plane. It worked as far as I am concerned, so why does Daz Studio flagg an error ?

Airport Island - Airport - So much detail I can't even move the camera in Texture Shaded mode

DMax — Wed, 20 May 2020 20:34:29 +0000

Airport Island - Airport - Utterly beautiful but with so much detail that I can't even move the camera in Texture Shaded mode

Is anybody else using the Airport Island? https://www.daz3d.com/airport-island-airport
I only loaded the airport building (no island, no landing strip etc) but just that alone, it has been so heavy on my resources that I cannot even move the perspective camera. I have a 2018 Mac Pro with 16GB Mem. Anybody else having issues with this? Any way to get around it so that I can at least get into the building to scout out a position for my to-be-loaded character.

Also, why does it say that Sea Base is "inactive"?

Thank you!

Error preparing objects to simulate and collide

While attempting to use dforce on:

I receive the error message:

"Error preparing objects to simulate and collide."

Having little experience with dforce simulations, I am at a loss as to how to make corrections for the problem. Any advice would be welcome.

Can't Remove Daz to Install Fresh

johranshadi — Wed, 20 May 2020 15:30:48 +0000

I've been experiencing many bugs with Daz recently and especially with DIM. Now DIM won't remove any content. When I click to uninstall everything, it begins uninstalling, and just when it completes, all of a sudden all the files are back there. The same happened when I tried to install some products from the Daz store. Is there any way to get this done manually, without any risks? Thanks!

"Login failed" and "resource error"

weizee — Wed, 20 May 2020 17:40:00 +0000

Hey guys!

I'm a newcomer so first of all, nice to meet you lol

Sorry to bother you with that, i've cheked on the internet for this kind of problem but it doesn't work for me so. (Should i precise that i'm not really clever enough so it's can be a reason why nothing worked for me so far?).

Soo! When i open Daz Studio, i first have a message saying "A valid PostgreSQL CMS connestion could not be established [...]" and when i try to login, i just have a little box sayin "connextion failed" (don't know if it's useful but i've add screenshots)

I finally gave up, and then, i was suddenly able to connect, but i still had this error about postgresql error. So i've uninstall everything, and reinstall it again, and the connexion failed came again. (I honestly don't know why it suddenly worked because i haven't done anything special, but well, it doesn't work anymore so i don't know.)

So, i've checked about that on the internet, uninstalled the postgresql from the installer several times and reinstall it, it doesn't worked. I've also changed the CMS port to 1024 as i've seen somewhere, but it doesn't worked, i've checked my firewall, antivirus and had no warnings about it and add every folders in the exlusion list to be sure, and i've changed my password, but it still doesn't work.

I know i'm probably just a stupid person who doesn't understand simple things, but i could really need you help! I don't know what else to do, and actually, i'm totally new for this kind of things, but i don't want to give up now, and i don't want to do things that could make everything worse than it already is. What am i missing?

By the way, english is not my first language and i'm really bat at it, but i hope it's still understandable.

Thanks for you help, and sorry, i guess there's already a lot of posts about that kind of error but i still can't figure out what's wrong.

Shape Morph Keyframes in Animations Don't Save

Mag_bfaa50c8df — Wed, 20 May 2020 12:27:03 +0000

This has happened since the last update and I have no idea how to fix it. Is this a bug? The shape is retained from the first key but every key thereafter is deleted. So basically, you can't animate morphs. If I open files I saved prior to the update, those morph animations still work until I save the file again. After that, they will have disappeared upon reopening the file.

iray render coming out grainy/scene too large for screen

johnbushell70 — Sun, 17 May 2020 17:37:21 +0000

i know there is no doubt an easy fix to this (but I can't firgure it out - renders seem to go on forever!), any help would be greatly appriciated so I can get on with rendering;0)

Thanks,

[SOLVED] LAMH Won't Install

jcalebdesign — Tue, 19 May 2020 13:51:39 +0000

I've purchased the regular version of LAMH and it won't install through the DIM. It downloads like normal and appears to install like normal. However, when it gets to my "installed" tab it automatically switches to "uninstall". It stays at "Uninstalling 0%" until I close DIM and open it back up at which time its back at the Ready to Install tab. And the process repeats. It does this for the Catalyzer as well and just for giggles, I tried the free player and run into the same issue.

I then just downloaded it manually and tried to install it that way and it appears to install but once I open Daz I can't find it anywhere. Its not under Panes, Create or in the "About Plugins" section under Help for me to put in my serial number.

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate the help. Thank you!

Lovey Bear not showing up in Animals

nomad-ads_8ecd56922e — Tue, 19 May 2020 21:52:51 +0000

Okay, I bought Lovey Bear Re-energized, and it installed, and I can see it when I do a search for it in Content, but the Daz Studio version is not showing up where its supposed to. Looking in my DIM's downloads folder, I see a Poser zip and a DS zip for this product.,,, however, when I go to the Animals folder in DS, there's no Lovey Bear folder, even though one is clearly shown in the DS zip. 0o

Any idea what's going on here?

Iray Rendering Slows Network Connection

Akyda81 — Tue, 19 May 2020 03:11:54 +0000

I've been encountering a strange problem recently. Everytime I start a render (IRay) my internet speed slows way down or stops all together. Once rendering is complete or I cancel the render, the connection goes back to normal. Normal operation of DazStudio doesn't have this effect. I was wondering if this a problem others have encountered?

Weird rigging silent moves - and how I can stop it?

spearcarrier — Mon, 18 May 2020 16:33:08 +0000

*reluctantly comes in and sits on the couch* I do not want to be here, doc. I'm not even in the mood to talk like Gollum here. But I hope someone can answer this question. Fine fine, okay so here's the deal.

Been experimenting with makin' stuff, which a lot of people end up doing. So now I have this object, the 2nd of two I have made this month. And just like the other it's doing weird things when I rig the pieces.

When I tell a bone to move, it'll move. It'll take the mesh with it. But I don't get to watch the mesh move. I watch the bounding box move at best and then pop! The object is moved. That's with this second object. I've only rigged two pieces up and stopped because of this.

With the first, if I tried to move certain parts the whole thing would appear to move and then pop! It's all in place.

Makes posing kind of surreal.

I've had this happen before when converting legacy to triax, so I've never thought much of it. But this is me starting out with an object I made from scratch and adding rigging from scratch. Triax, cuz it's easier to set up. And it's not like I've never rigged before, because I have. I've just never bothered to go this far into making something before.

And yes, I've looked but I guess I'm the only complainer on these matters out there.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone might give.

Choppy Viewport Space Since Last Daz Update

Mag_bfaa50c8df — Mon, 18 May 2020 13:23:37 +0000

I have a solid gaming PC desktop with an updated Nvidia graphics card. It seems like one of the Daz preferences might have been changed or perhaps a new preference was added which slows things down. This has never been a problem before. It seems like it's a graphic card issue though. Rendering is fine. It's just the viewport workspace that is slowed. Thanks in advance for your help:)

DAZ Studio Won't Launch

Thyranq — Sun, 17 May 2020 22:31:35 +0000

[DAZ Studio Won't Launch] When I double click on the icon, it looks like everything is going ok, but then it doesn't come up on the screen. I get an icon in my Windows Tray that DAZ is open, but when I click on that, nothing happens. If I Alt+Tab, DAZ Studio is there, but it's a minimized little white block that only displays the title, then the minimize, maximize, and close icons.

If I go into Alt+Ctrl+Del it's running, but it's using 0% CPU.

I ran into the problem, figured something hiccupped from the last thing I was at, so I restarted the computer, that had no effect. I reinstalled DAZ Studio - no effect. Checked my drivers, they're up to date.

The Log File reports this:

Pin size

Loony — Sun, 12 Apr 2020 21:29:43 +0000

Hi,

is it possible to shrink the pin size? I think they grow because of the Meshgrabber size, just an idea, but if I change meshgrabber size, it have no effect.

In the Powerpose tool do I not see an option to reduce the size.

Can't login to DIM (Solved)

chris-2599934 — Tue, 19 May 2020 07:42:38 +0000

For the last couple of days I have been unable to login to DIM (64 bit v 1.2.0.52). It just says "Unable to login to the specified account. Verify the email and/or password and try again." Needless to say, I've double- and triple-checked my email and password and they are correct, I've not got caps lock on or anything silly like that. I can log in to the website, but DIM won't let me in.

Is anyone else getting this problem? Previous threads that mention it all seem to point to server-side issues.

Addressing some bloat in my pose library...

shiba_toma — Sun, 17 May 2020 03:18:30 +0000

I wanted to ask if there's a recommended way to strip out portions of various Pose Sets? For example, a set included the base poses and then a second full set of versions of each pose minutely tweaked for Karen. I work almost exclusively with customized characters so the Karen-based poses are just taking up space on my hard drive that I need for more new Daz products (true story).

Seems like there's probably more to it than just delete the files individually? Maybe I'm just nervous I'll break something.

Everything is installed but adding to scene prompts scene to save and close- ??

sunnyjei — Sun, 17 May 2020 23:25:12 +0000

Hi all, my Daz library was getting too big for one drive so I moved it to another drive with more space. The move was not smooth so I gave up and just deleted everything and reinstalled everything on the new drive. Everything is installed (via DIM) and it shows up in Daz but when I try to add things to my scene I get a prompt asking 'would you like to save changes to the current scene before closing it?'. If I cancel that prompt and uninstall via Daz Studio and reinstall then it works no problems. If I accept the prompt it says it cold not open the file but I know the file is there because if I go into my daz library folder it's there.

I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to uninstall/reinstall everything and it is taking Daz foooooorever to download for me at the moment. Help would be greatly appreciated!

(edit to add further strangeness, if I right click and go to 'browse to file location' it immediately goes to the file and if I alt+drag the file into the scene it enters without problem. It's just double clicking on it that is giving me issues :( )

Blender Hair?

marble — Mon, 18 May 2020 21:20:20 +0000

Over the years I've downloaded various body hair add-ons (both paid and freebies) but I would like to have a go at making a custom set. Unfortunately, I gather that most of those available were created in ZBrush and I don't have that and probably never will. So is it possible to use the Blender particle hair system and import it into DAZ Studio as a prop or wearable or some kind of asset? Beards, chest hair, that kind of thing?

By the way, I tried with the Strand Based Hair system (which is Garibaldi which I bought years ago) and find it impossible to manipulate. I tried ZBrush fibre hair on another PC (not mine) and found that far easier to control all apsects of the hair. Wish I could afford it but Blender will have to do if possible.

RawArt Content CHR vs. raw Figure (What is the difference?)

HighElf — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 13:13:11 +0000

It never crossed my mind before, but now that I want to restructure my library I stumbled over the fact, that every figure exists twice. ("Figurename CHR" and "raw Figurename"). My google-fu wasn't strong enough to figure that out myself, so what is the difference between those two? Except for the places where those two are placed in the content library, I can't figure it out.

normally I typed "raw" when I was looking for one of his figures so I never saw the CHR before. Can somebody explain those two types for me?

iRay rendering has gone missing

seamanq — Sun, 10 May 2020 05:36:05 +0000

Just recently, any attempt to render in iRay fails. I can render in Open GL, Intermediate OpenGL, and 3Delight. I have uninstalled Daz3D and reinstalled it. I have also installed the latest driver for my card (GeForce 760GTX). Any idea what may be going on here? I am running Daz3D 4.12.1 64-bit, Windows 10 64-bit, and have installed the latest NVidia driver for my video card. I am stumped here. The render starts, says render complete, then pops up an empty box. Any ideas here? I have also posted a trouble ticket, but I was hoping that maybe someone has had this happen and knows what is going on.

Can't Log Into Install Manager

melanie — Wed, 13 May 2020 20:51:23 +0000

For some reason, this morning I can't log into Install Manager. It was fine yesterday. I've been installng things almost everyday. My login and password have not changed and I have it clicked to "remember me." I've been using it everyday for a very long time. Now, I've tried everything, and nothing works. I have a couple new things to install and DIM is the way I always install things. It won't accept my login or password and keeps telling me to verify and try again. My DIM updated a few days ago, but it was working fine after the update. My login and password are correct. I tried several times, even rebooted my computer. Still no luck. Please see the screen shot.

G3 to G8 character converter seems to have brick'd my Daz Studio

shiba_toma — Sat, 16 May 2020 22:17:31 +0000

https://www.daz3d.com/character-converter-from-genesis-3-female-to-genesis-8-female

I ran Riversoft Art's scene character converter on a fairly elaborately morphed G3 character and all seemed to be going well -- it transmuted a basic G8 I'd prepared into a brilliantly exact copy of the G3 character. Unfortunately now any time I attempt to load ANY G8 generation female my Daz Studio locks up...

Letting it sit for about 20 minutes I'm now seeing the message "Duplicate formulas found in files. Make sure the content is properly installed. See log for more details."

I'm guessing I maybe set the folder to store the adapted morphs wrong. Any assistance would be welcome.

this is probably an old question but its nessacry to find out.. how are where do you go to fix the- opengl you have 1.1 and 1.3 is needed?
