Nothing works after moving files to a different hard drive

bttull — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 20:15:54 +0000

So I got another HDD to store my Daz files but after moving them, Daz can't find where any of my files are located even though the new HDD is the only content directory I have listed under the Daz Format. Even when I try to manually locate every file it can't find, it only allows me to locate a single file and then I just get told that everything else is missing. Is there any way to fix this or do I just have to reinstall everything?

Does anyone have a users guide for this, or know how to find it in studio and run it?

IK Disabled. Limbs still jump.

cathan01_wwg1wga — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 18:52:32 +0000

I have this problem with a lot of figures, but using the Dog 8 as an example. Whenever I move the figure with either the sliders or arrows, the limbs move slightly out of their set pose. I turn off IK and Pins and the limbs still move. Annoying when trying to fine tune a pose. Is there a way to disable this quirk?

billyrosco — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 19:19:47 +0000

So: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-side-bob-hair-for-genesis-8-females

I bought this product a few days ago. My issue is that the hair does not render. I have tried adjusting all the various settings as explained in the provided tutorial, but I still can't get it to work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Have you had issues with this too?

Thanks!

Ok, I guess that this topic has been covered many times, but I guess also that most times it was treated like a personal eventuality, each time with its own specific motivations: besides, the amount of matches is huge and cannot scope down each thread to scrutiny the "solution", which imho must be found once forever by daz crew...

I'm on win10. Changed also the password here, but still getting the "login failed" error.

DForce error OpenCL not found

paul_ae567ab9 — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 19:47:55 +0000

I decided to experiment some with DForce component but when I click "simulation" I get error that "Could not find a valid OpenCL device"

I have scanned and OpenCL.dll are installed as part of the graphics driver package. I see no options to "reinstall or update" this.

Is there a specific OpenCL download I need to install for DS? If so where?

Is there a setting in DAZ to tell it where to find OpenCL?

Thanks.

Using 2 video cards with Daz3d

tikka — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 04:58:17 +0000

HI all! I currently have a 1080ti on a PC that has been a great workhorse for me the last few years and just recently was able to purchase a used Titan RTX from a friend selling all her gear off to travel, woohoo!

I remember when I first started with Daz several years ago that having 2 cards (non-SLI) didn't use the sum of all the video memory of both cards....so having 2 8gb cards would not equal having 16 gb of memory......is this still the case with v. 4.12? :) This is the first time I will ever have access to 2 nice video cards and if anyone has similar experience, what tips would you recommend for my Daz setup/configurations/settings, etc. to fully take advantage of this lucky windfall? (Haven't received the card yet but just wanted to pre-prep everything!)

Thank you much in advance for any assistance!!

Cheers!

Lost Lagoon outfit Not working. Please help.

wmiller314 — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 01:29:04 +0000

I picked up the lost lagoon outfit recently and in the product description, it says you can hide certain parts of the outfit. I've managed to hide the hanging straps around the legs by using the look/hide feature in the cascading character pane, but I can't figure out how to hide the breast pieces. Does anyone have any experience with this outfit? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

G8F mouth deformity

DysPhule — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 16:27:30 +0000

When I use Zev0s Growing up youth morph with the Zsazsa preset character, I get a strange mouth deformity. I have attached pics. I'm not sure if it's the character or youth morph which is causing it. Any help would be appreciated.

dForce Vellus Hair for Babina 8 not showing in render

Jimbobtheval — Sun, 16 Feb 2020 21:16:43 +0000

Hey all,

Just bought dForce Vellus Hair for Babina 8. It is appearing in all of the preview types except for the Iray preview, and also doesn't appear in the actual render. All the display parameters except for 'show bones' are on. Please could someone help?

How do I rename bones?

lukon100 — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 14:20:10 +0000

Yep.

My bone names are so long that they push my paramer sliders off the right edge of my screen.

So I really need to shorten these bone names.

Does Tobyn HD for Genesis 8 and Small World Tobyn 8 HD come with the clothes in pic?

toeclippings_99987c770c — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 01:16:44 +0000

The 2 sku's are

SKU:57855 and SKU:59697

Do these come with the clothes in the photos or just the model alone?

Imo it's not really in the description if they do or don't or I'm really missing it

Skirt Come Apart dForce Simulation

Db3d — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 21:26:55 +0000

I convereted the Autumn Haze Outfit for Genesis 8 to a dynamic dForce outfit. When I simulate the skirt, the lace section of the skirt detaches and falls down around the character's ankles.

What do I do to fix this?

Skin Shine for Torso and Face

shavonnew — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 06:22:54 +0000

Hello!

Generally, I think a person's face would be oilier than her body so that's how I set the skin glossiness to be. However, when I render, I can see the clear line where her "face" ends. Is there anything I can do about that other than giving her hair? Haha I quite like her bald look.

DAZ3D gets error prompt to close when I lose internet connection.

AnonTurtle — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 22:14:39 +0000

Hello, everytime I lose internet; either abruptly like a few second disconnect and it reconnects again or if my computer goes to sleep which makes it lose internet connection and then I wake it up from sleep.

I will get the Daz Studio has encounted a fatal error and must close. With Exception Reason: DAZStudio.exe caused UNKNOWN_ERROR in module "C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll" at 0033:000000005707A799, RaiseException()+105 byte(s).

I can still use Daz Studio to save it but the pop-up window is always there. And will close Daz Studio when I click Close on the pop-up window. How do I fix this?

iray uber material cannot get rid of spec!

ItsaMe — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 23:07:52 +0000

Hi everyone

im trying to understand why my pantyhose still has spec on it. changed all reflectivity/glossiness to 0 but its still reflecting. even tried roughness to max but no good.

i am not understanding what I'm doing wrong here to either lower the spec to nothing and to broaden the highlights

please help

thank you.

exporting fbx to max giving issues

ItsaMe — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 05:49:46 +0000

hi everyone

im trying to get my model with clothes,etc(and camera) from daz to 3dsmax, but I'm getting problems when importing. seems like a lot of the morphs don't come through, and the clothes get left behind in tpose.

the cameras also get placed in weird position. and even tho I'm exporting animation, no animation comes thoroght.

the animation isn't a big deal. ideally what i want is the figure to come exactly as is from daZ(all morphs in place etc) and camera too so i can use max to render a few extra passes for my renders(so they superimpose perfectly on top of the daz renderS).

maybe someone can help ? :)

thank you

Weird Eye Problem

Amy_Bone — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 10:08:40 +0000

I've come across an issue with a bizarre shadow on the eyes of Genesis 8 females. It hasn't happened before, but I wonder if anybody knows what might be causing it? It is a black ring on the sclera. See attached image. I'd be grateful for any advice on how to resolve it. Other than photoshop which is probably the easiest solution. :)

[BUG?] Invisible Elements leaves traces on clothing

Dafa — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 00:25:18 +0000

Hello,

As the title says, I've been experiencing issues with the DAZ software where a node would be invisible but would leave traces by affecting clothes collision. As attached, you can see what I'm talking about. The figure being used is Genesis 8 Male, the swimwear is for Genesis 8 Male and not d-force, and the object invisible is NSFW. I don't know how to fix this issue without having to delete the object from the scene. Your help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

How do I send from Daz to Blender 3D using exporting and importing

1012creativevision — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 11:33:04 +0000

HI, I just want to know the correct procedure for taking a basic figure ( let say an example is the Genesis 8 man ) from Daz to Blender 2.8.

I've tried to export using FBX and import into blender. Only when I see the figure that blender has imported its just the rigging.

Ive attached a screesnot of the setting I have and the end result. I'm using the quarantine to self teach so im new to a lot of this, thanks in advance for any help.

Scalable Triangle Primitive

bradassociates — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 21:45:00 +0000

I'm doing some architectural designing for a pool equipment room to get approval from our Home Owner's Assoc. Does anyone know how to purchase, create or morph a scalable triangular primitive for Daz? I know that if one uses a cone primitive and flattens the x or z scale it becomes a triangle, but that reduces it to a 2D with no depth. Does Daz sell any products that has an object included that might work? Thx!

Where are the G8F "No Suit" (#55647) Wrinkle Morphs?

laip210 — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 06:46:06 +0000

Hello,

Just purchased the G8F No Suit. In the product description (https://www.daz3d.com/no-suit-for-genesis-8-females) it says "Wrinkle Morphs for Separate Body Parts" are included. I've searched and it seems the only relevent location seems to be the:

Paramter Pane -> Actor -> People -> Stylized -> NoSuit

Since I'm not using the mask, i tried the arms and legs dials. However I'm not seeing any wrinkle in my renders. In fact all the 2 dials did were making my character's arms and legs a bit thinner. So am i missing something here? Or this is a known problem with the product? Seems unable to find any related info online.

Thanks

Cartoon-style render works with G1 and G8, but not G2 or G3

DancingJackal — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 22:20:17 +0000

Under Render Style in the Render Settings general tab, I have a hidden setting labelled cartoon. It makes any Genesis or Genesis 8 character look like a comic book character. Clothes, hair, everything. But for whatever reason, it just will not work with Genesis 2 or 3. Those figures render normally in a scene where everything else is cartoonized.

Does anybody know if this is a native DAZ Studio feature, or if it's something I installed? I had to check "Show Hidden Properties" just for the option to appear. Also, any idea why it would work perfectly well with G1 and G8, but not G2 or G3?

Seriously, what gives??

When I animate Frames 1-5, Frame 1 uses GPU.

Every. Single. Frame. After that uses the CPU.

building a dedicated rendering computer.

thomasbrooks07 — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 05:18:31 +0000

I normally use daz3d on my old laptop which has a i7 7700hq 4 core processor 12 gb ram and a gtx 1060 3gb graphics card. I have been failing to get a decent non grainy render in a office setting which has a lot of complex lights and my old laptop just couldnt do it only able to do 1400 iray itterations in 12 hours. I did a test render on my desktop which has a i7 9700k 8 core processor 16 gb ram and a rtx 2070 8 gb graphics card and it was able to do 1500 iterations in about 30 minutes. the picture is still grainy so ill try for 15000 iterations before I go to bed but I am thinking about building a dedicated daz3d computer.

if I am looking to render even complex I ray pictures in 2880 by 2560 resloultion in lets say under 3 hours what should I buy? would a I5 9600k 6 core processor be good or should I get another i7 9700k 8 core processor or would a amd processor with more cores be better? I heard that for graphics cards you need to get a good nvida based one but should I get like a used gtx 1070 or 1080 or should I get a new gtx 1660 or rtx 2060 or another rtx 2070? also what about ram should I go for the gaming staple of 16 or would 32 gb be worth the cost?

Hair and beard textures are not exporting out of Daz

paul_carder_74313dfe2f — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:15:07 +0000

Hi all, I bought this item in the Daz store - https://www.daz3d.com/hair-set-for-genesis-8-male-s

I've exported it out in order to use in Reallusion's Character Creator, but when I load it in, there's no texture maps at all. No texture maps have been saved to the FBX folder either.

Has anyone else had ths problem? I've tried all FBX export variations, like collected textures, baking textures etc, but nothing seems to work. The clothing that came with the pack is fine.

Any help would be much appreciated, as I've been trying for hours and feel like I've explored all avenues.
