I don't understand how the Michael 8 HD addon works.

By putting Michael 8 and Michael 8 HD side by side, there is no difference in the details.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I'm trying to import my clothing to Daz from Marvelous Designer  but the textures have all gone I tend not to use it too much but I colour code items so when I get them into daz it's easier. Now the whole suit is just white! It just suddenly stopped exporting the textures. I'm so frustrated, the Marvelous Designer  website is totally useless now. The forum has gone but for four posts. It's just insane. It's never been good but it did work. What a time to do a major overhaul?!!!

Well, my main question was the grainline? If I want to change the direction of the 'grain' I turn the pattern in the UV but I noticed that weird double hook thing and discovered it was grainline but the help over at MD, as I think I might have mentioned is terrible. How do I use it? 

The texture thing is annoying but, not the end of the world. I'm sure it's glitching but I did restart.

Thanks

I set the mesh resolution to "base" and the subsurfing to zero, then went to file>export and used the default Blender export settings. I wanted to makes sure I had the settings right before working on the mesh, so I immediately opened a new document, reloaded G8F, and tried to load the OBJ I'd just exported in with morph loader pro. Apparently something is wrong with my settings because the dialogue box said that the geometry, which I hadn't even opened in another program yet, didn't match.

I've attached screen shots, can anybody tell me what settings I need to adjust?

I have googled all day and I am at the end of my tether. I have the PostgreSQL warning everytime I start the app. The various menus are blank. There seems to be dozens of suggestions scattered around the whole of the internet.

But the 'solution' I want to try now is to uninstall Daz. However, I cannot even do that because it doesnt exist in my uninstall options.

The help I require is...... what is the FINAL solution to the postgresql problem. Or what is the FINAL solution to unistalling DAZ.

I hope you can help

Things have been working mostly okay except that when I try to apply some poses or shapes, even add props, I get a prompt asking if I want to save the scene before closing it. This is only sometimes and it's only in Smart Content. I find the files on my hard-drive and merge them into the scene (merge by right-clicking the item icon doesn't work; file not found or something like that), which works fine. It's silly, and a waste of time. The figures I've been working with are GF8 and GM8.

I was thinking about just doing a total reinstall of metadata. But before I did that (time consuming), I wanted to see if the community had ever heard of anything like this. Any thoughts?

I got this product:

https://www.daz3d.com/360-rotating-turntable-animations

And wanna make it reversed somehow, that I can make a scene in a room, and that script/node thing, let the camera rotate 360° through the room and not rotate the object, is that somehow possible?

That is the animation node, it "dances" on point, so... how do I let it spin a camera in a big angle around itself... like a selfie stick connected to it.

Also a other question, but related to this:

please visit this: https://www.cgtrader.com/ and look at the rop right (needs maybe 5 seconds to load), there will a chair appear which you can rotate, is it possible to create this in daz3d for customers, that I can create a scene, set the limit to be inside the house and they can rotate it, to enjoy the scene from every angle, as example a Action scene with shooting, and they can see every angle.

Also ANOTHER question *hype* about animations... a very hardware related questions, where I hope that Our Forum Lord Richard can answer it ^_^, I have now a RTX2070 Super, she is... "okay" for daz3d, still slow, a 4K render takes ~1Hour (okay my old gtx1060 OR i5cpu, did take 10hours for 1440p.... fugg it!) but the quesiton is, if I install another RTX2070 super with same Vram indeed, and the scene does fit into the 8GB, does that double the render speed? So I can make faster Animations?

I wanna upgrade the experience for my customers, I for myself can rotate the scene around in daz3d^^, but they can't ;) (and I will not give them my scenefiles O_O... its mine! and they still would need ALL the products... and a crazy strong PC to even use a iray preview, my old pc was not able to make a good preview).

sorry too long!

TL;DR If I use 2x a RTX2070 onstead of 1, (scene is not over 8GB, then it goes anyway on CPU), will it double the renderspeed because it use the cuda power of both cards?

Thanks! (I hope someone can answer all :D )

Copying & Pasting the surface materials doesn't work because this action does not load any new or additional channels. 

Is there a good way to get the channels and the settings for each copied?

Is there any way of getting it back without having to restart DAZ Studio?

how to delete a L.I.E. Material Presets please ?

i can't find the menu...

thanks a lot

1st, the tool properties panel is blank, so there are no adjustments I can make regarding size or strength. 2nd, the tool doesn't interact with the figure. How do I activate this tool?

This is essentially my first time with Hexagon. I don't see anything in the documentation, and online tutorials blow past setting up the tool as if it can be taken for granted. I'm sure it's simple but nothing I've clicked on is of help.

Any idea what setting might have got moved during the install?  I'm afraid I haven't a clue.

Each time I refresh install manger it shows up and I install it and then refresh and there it is again.

Could someone look into why this is happening?

I am quite sure it got installed but something is still wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I thought I bought some HD textures and morphs for Genesis 8 but I can't seem to locate them.

Is there a Genesis 8 skin upgrade?

I don't mean skin from another character but HD skin made specifically for Genesis 8.

A lot of characters have HD dials that accompany the other dial for a character, how do I get an HD dial for Genesis 8?

I turn up the HD dial and not much seems to happen to Genesis 8.

I assume the HD dials for other characters also work for Genesis 8 but I was wondering if there is an HD dial designed specifically for Genesis 8?

Oh, and the ear thing for Genesis 8, how do I make them rounder?

Thanks in advance. :) 

Export obj, import obj in DS, add textures, save as/ support object/ figure or prop. DS writes the data and Duf.

The part shows up in my content and it is called 'PART 1'

Now I want to update, change the model a little bit in Lightwave.

Make changes, export obj...all the same steps.

The real test  is opening up the newly written over duf in my content folder.

Part one updates just fine, I see the updated geometry.

All the same steps with part two.

But part two will not update no matter what I do.

I've tried to toss the item from the data folder and the content folder then save it again. It will not update.

Unless I rename the part to 'PART2a'  but that will mess up my scene subsets that these parts are already in.

Is this a bug or is there something that needs to be refreshed?

Is there some other place besides data that DS is storing info?

In advance Thank you

edit : the pictures are just an example to better understand my problem, the same thing happens with the characters.

my production machine is a PC running   DS 4.12.0.86

Hi
My Daz studio 4.12 froze and I had to terminate it. Afterwards my interface looks like this - any help would be appreciated?

A while ago I accidentally saved a character as an asset. When I noticed what I'd done I deleted the asset file and thought nothing of it until I loaded a new G8M. I now get this error:

"data/daz 3d/noel/noel/genesis8male.dsf"

It's not the end of the world but I can't help feeling it takes longer now to load G8M and not being able to fix it grates on me. What can I do?

Thanks

NVIDIA Drops CUDA Support For MacOS
https://www.provideocoalition.com/officially-official-nvidia-drops-cuda-support-for-macos/

I know Apple has stoped supporting Nvidia Cards a standard or even a Apple uograde in their pro models BUT... 
Seems like Daz3d on MacOS is going to bne limited to Older OS versions and Older Macs Pros with Older Nvidia Cards and Older drivers. THis is a shrort term solution at best for Daz3d on Mac OS. As no one who is using Daz3d for any length of time is going to be satisfied with CPU only renders and Dforce simulations.
