What are my first choice? Second choice? etc? What type of graphic cards? How much memory? Processor? Etc?

Hi,

I wanted to use the OOT Mega Wardrobe Jeans -> https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-mega-wardrobe

The product pics dont show me the error, but I have holes in the texture.

I add Screenshots for infos, it have hidden Styles, because the jeans can be redesigned, even in the "Zero apply" style, is it broken.

It does not have a cutout map, I tested it on 2 G8F Chars and it have the problem at both. In the texture Shaded Version is it not there, so it is some Iray bug, maybe... graphiccard? Both chars don't have a geoshell active, which could cause it.

The texture did I shrinked, cutted and added some crazy stuff to make it hard to "steal".

Would be glad on any advice, can someone reproduce this?

(I didnt restarted daz studio atm, it takes so long to build up scenes^^)

I've tried dabbling around with Diffeomorphic's add-on as most of my stuff is from G3F. So far, it's been ok in importing some base models, but as soon as I include geografts into the mix, things start to get very very wonky. Parts of the geograft that should be hidden are vissible, meshes and skeletons don't merge. etc

I was wondering if anyone had any luck with bringing G3Fs into Blender with geografts, particularly anatomical elements.

While trying geografting this, I am in trouble with unable to find "Set Graft Faces for Fitted Figure" menu in Geometry editor.

All I can see is "Set Graft Faces for Attachment" - and feels like it's not doing the justice for it. I can see neck and head disappearing when attaching this replacement mesh, but this mesh doesn't follow figure's poses and etc.

Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks.

Thank you in advance. 

If you do try to help me, know that you are saving me countless hours cuz I have an attention deficit disorder 

Doing so has me scouring the web to find the promo images for each of these products to be included in the packaging. Whilst doing so, I noticed a freebie I had gotten over at RDNA was open for commercial and non-commercial use.

The freebie has since moved to rendo but the license there is non-commercial only. Do I have to follow the new license, or does my old one still hold?

Will scene optimizer just allow me to render one room at a time efficiently? Or will I need to delete other parts of the house to efficiently render a room? Alternatively, should I "hide" parts of the house instead to spead up rendering time?

No matter what I've tried, I can't get the effect I want.  The surfaces turn out looking like pixellated garbage, or stone, or plastic.  Can anybody offer any pointers?

And want the Kimino dropp correct on the couch and Pants, both collision objects got a static surface and I used memorized bone, but it still goes through it sometimes.

I use already the Best Algorythm and a slightly increased collision iteration handle and 48 iterations per Subframe (32 is standard),  So why is it still ignoring the pants+couch at some points?

I want this knowledge mainly for my future work, I can/will this now adjust with meshgrabber, but growing dforce knowledge can help :)

If I have a decent (gamer-level) secondary computer on my local network... Is it a simple process to use that computer as a DS render server?

Is it as simple as ruinning DS on the secondary computer, setting it to listen mode, then sending the project files across the network? (I am familar with how to access a render server when I am sending assets to it, just not familar with what is involved in receiving those files.)

This is purely for my personal use. The secondary computer wouldn't be available for users outside of the local network.

Now when I hit render it goes really fast but renders a blank image. I saw on another solved post something about updating drivers (would have posted this there but they've marked as solved - I'm still having problems)...if I knew this was necessary I wouldn't have updated Daz. Because the update didn't make any difference to me as far as I can tell except for stopping me from rendering in iRAY (3Delight still works). I would appreciate if a driver update or any update/minimum hardware, etc. is required that it would notify you with a warning dialog before allowing you to download and install an update so you are at least aware of the situation.

I have no idea what the current nVidia driver is or which one to update? I have quite a few (6) with that name in it. And I don't know how to update it, when I check for updates it doesn't show there are any available.

And when I look online they strongly recommned NOT updating nvidia driver unless you REALLY need to because your hardware could be too old to keep up. Again I have no idea how to check this.

I'm at a loss at what to do. I know certain materials are designed for iRay and not 3delight and daz seems to be moving away from 3delight so I'd like to have this working if possible (though as a plus 3delight actually seems to render a lot faster than iRay for me). Any help on how to best fix this would be appreciated. And if someone can confirm if it is actually the driver causing this problem or not would also be helpful.

How do I delete those empty listings? What is the correct way to delete unneeded content in the user folder?

Thanks in advance. 

I've been struggling with this issue for a while now, and when I contacted DAZ technical support about it, all I got was "Unfortunately, Custom categories are beyond my support boundaries."

I've also taken a look at some of the threads that have been made for similar issues and haven't found any solutions there either. 

I'm using DAZ version 4.12.0.86

What should I do next? 

I'm running windows 10

intel core i3-813ou 2.2ghz with turbo boost up to 3.4ghz

intel uhd graphics

4gb ddr4 memory

128gb ssd

Many thanks guys. 

Is there an error with my installation or am I supposed to "turn on" or purchase some function in order to utilise Emissive?
I am hesitant to reinstall Studio as my previous installation had major problems with DBconnect and I am trying not to tempt fate by doing a reinstall.

Thank you!

For example's sake, I am using the Opulent Spa for practice and experimentation.

I want to change the color of a cushion.

How do I do this? The tutorials on youtube seem to show things like how to change the hair or skin color of human models. I haven't found anything about changing furniture or modifying it. On the "Scene" tab, there is a "sofa", for example, but the sofa does not break down into cushions and pillows, etc.

I did the tutorials loading a Genesis 8 female in what looked like a street setting.  By the time I got to "translating a figure" I started to get lost and wasn't taking anything in due to a lack of context for what I was doing.  What I wanted to do was to play around and familiarise myself with a character.  I created another Genesis 8 female and went off and bought some face and body morphs for Geneses 8 females.  After installing them using Daz Install Manager the Geneses 3 and Geneses 8 females that came with the program's instalation were no longer in "Actors and Wardrobe /Actors /Smart Control /Files /Figures /People /Female" where they had been before.  Now, only "Barefoot Dancer" and "fiery Geneses" are at this location.  On the panel on the right-hand side of the screen are some of the Geneses 8 face morphs I have bought and installed (not all) but so far I have found nothing on how to use them.  None of the YouTube videos out there are helpful because they all start with "Open this and you'll see that" and the problem is that I don't.  I really need help here.

I have a MEG Z390 GODLIKE MB, Intel i9-9900K CPU @3.60Ghz, DDR4 Ram 64Gb, GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU, an Asus Rog 4K UHD monitor operating at 3840 x 2160 on the Win 10 Pro platform.

If you need to know anything please ask.

When shutting down or starting Daz Studio the path : Y:\TEMP\Daz 3D\shaders\iray\ is deleted and I get this warning:

2020-05-03 17:13:40.305 WARNING: ..\..\..\..\..\src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(474): Could not add path: "Y:/TEMP/Daz 3D/shaders/iray". Due to unknown error -2

How do I switch to TCC driver model for my GeForce GTX 1080 card as suggested by this warning to increase rendering performance?

2020-05-03 17:13:40.454 WARNING: ..\..\..\..\..\src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(353): Iray [WARNING] - IRAY:RENDER ::   1.1   IRAY   rend warn : CUDA device 0 (GeForce GTX 1080): WDDM driver used, it's recommended switching to TCC driver model as no display connected (via 'nvidia-smi -dm 1'), to increase rendering performance

But when I hide them the scene turns completely dark.

An example is UberEnvironment2 1 makes the lighting darker. But It's harder to see when I pose stuff so I want to turn it off without deleting it. But hiding it just makes the whole scene black.

How can I show the default lights without deleting any added lights?

Here is hoping someone can help me. I rarely use the genesis 8 figures because of the long loading time to add just the basic character to the scene. I purchased a new character and it took almost 27 minutes to load. Is there something I am doing wrong? Can someone tell me how to get the loading time down to a minute or 2? I have quite a few characters for genesis 8 and anyone one of them takes almost a half an hour to load.  I read some of the post on here about loading times it apparently there is a correlation to the amount of characters you have. I have 83 different characters for Genesis 2 and that sucker loades in under a minute. attached is a portion of the log file.

At some point, I used a setting that increased the thickness of the lines and circles in the universal tool (etc.), making them easier to click on.  But derned if I can figure out what setting that was so that I can re-apply it on another installation.

Studio has forty'leven different ways of changing stuff.  Which was this?
