dForce & OpenCL 1.2 questions...

MightyMite — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 17:00:32 +0000

Can someone point me in the correct direction of OpenCL 1.2 so that I have use dForce?

I'm using NVidia GeForce 210 > I found the latest drivers for this > I downloaded/installed Visual Studio 2019 > I downloaded/installed NVidia's CUDA > But I'm still not getting OpenCL to show up in my DAZ... How do I find out if it IS loaded? Is there something someone knows that can help me figure this out?

[SOLVED] DAZ 4.12 Totally Lost Figure and Object Editing

Axelx10 — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 19:45:21 +0000

When selecting Figure or Object, then EDIT at the top left... All of the options are gone.

Editing Object only allows you to Change Parent. I cannot add smoothing or push modifiers anymore. There is no more Geometry Option.

Editing Figure only has a few choices too. No longer able to Expand figure and turn off limits.

This is when using both G8F/V8 and G2F/V6 figures.

It was all there yesterday now they are gone.

Anyone out there experience the same thing?

I reinstalled and restarted. No dice.

Iray refraction creating anomalous opacity with geoshell

Reality1 — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 09:51:29 +0000

Has anyone seen an issue where a geoshell becomes partially opaque when using refraction in Uber-IRAY surfaces?

The (partial) opactity seems proportional to the refraction weight allowing the surface below to bleed through. This is happens even when the surface is set to be completely opaque. Subsurface scattering is off on the geoshell surface.

Is there a way to inhibit this behavior? :-)

Beautiful Brows - How to remove?

shavonnew — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 14:11:14 +0000

Hello!

I'm currently using a Monique morph and tried seeing how she looked with different eyebrows.
I had removed her original eyebrows using Beautiful Brows for Genesis 8 Female(s) and was trying on the different eyebrows
However, I now decided I prefer her original eyebrows but I'm not sure how to get them back. Could you guys help me? (:

Daz Studio 4.11 frequently crashes my Mac

mavante — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 05:22:29 +0000

I'm on High Sierra 10.13.6—which I have to stay on specifically to be able to use nVidia for iRay. This has been happening on and off ever since I came back to Daz in July of last year.

It only happens when DS is running. It never happens when DS is not running. It never happened before I installed and started using DS in July 2019, after having stayed away from Daz a long time. It sometimes happens when I am merely browsing in Safari, with DS rendering in the background. It sometimes when I am doing nothing else at all. Suddenly the computer screen goes black. Then it usually, after a while, goes to a grey screen with a completely useless sentence in about eight different languages (and I'm sure it's equally useless in all languages) telling me that my computer has crashed, and that I should press any key to restart.

It just happened again tonight, while it was rendering frame 218 of a 221-frame animation. (The moral of this crash for anyone new to Daz animation is never—never—render an animation out to a movie format, which is an option DS gives in render settings. Always—always—render to an image sequence. If I had been rendering to a movie format, a full day of rendering would have been gone in a twinkle. As it is, given that I was rendering to an image sequence, I can restart the rendering at frame 218 and only have a few frames to go.)

To all well-intentioned people poised to suggest I install DS 4.12, thank you, but for a number of technical reasons, I'm stuck at 4.11 for the foreseeable future, just as I am stuck at Mac OS 10.13.6. Ditto for those who wish to suggest that I lodge a formal tech ticket. Yes, I know that these forums are not monitored by Daz technical people and that I need to file a ticket. I know. Thank you. I know. I also predict that as soon as I do, I will receive a pleasant recommendation to install DS 4.12 and upgrade my OS. (Sigh)

But I make record here of this issue here because it may help someone else having similar issues.

Grace Yong Morph - Can't Make Hair Short.. ):

shavonnew — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 07:26:12 +0000

Hello! I bought Grace Yong because I loved how her versatile her hair seemed to be able to look here:
https://www.daz3d.com/grace-yong-and-grace-yong-hair-for-genesis-8-females

However, I've been going through all the different shapes and parameters but none seem to be able to shorten the back hair. Does anybody know how to do this?
I assume it's possible and I'm just missing it.. or are the short hair images in the promo from other products? ):

how to update a morph that has been changed in a older scene file?

ItsaMe — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 07:19:43 +0000

I have another question regarding the fixed morph target. I fixed the issue where the rest of the body was being affected(so now only the head is affected correctly) and i saved that as a save asset- blabla- morph target, and i also saved any changed assets(so it actually seems like it updated my genesis 8)

my problem is that on the other scene files i have, it still uses the incorrect morph where the rest of the body gets affected by the face morph. how can i update the figure file with the new corrected morph?

thanks in advance

Does anyone know how to fix the interface

liandrorusso — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 13:32:09 +0000

So last night daz was working normally, but today it's starting to do this and I don't know how to fix

Unable to allocate device memory - GTX 2080 Ti

interestinglyaverage — Sat, 18 Apr 2020 05:09:02 +0000

I am fairly new to Daz, and have only recently been trying to render larger scenes involving 3 or more characters, and the render fails with a generic error message (an error occurred during render). Looking at the log I find the following entry:

2020-04-18 00:49:07.036 Iray [VERBOSE] - IRAY:RENDER ::   1.6   IRAY   rend progr: CUDA device 0 (GeForce RTX 2080 Ti): Processing scene...

I saw the post here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/368406/unable-to-allocate-memory-exception-in-4-12-when-plenty-of-memory-available but one, I don't want to raise a post from six months ago, and the memory difference is much different - in my case I can't allocate 5MB out of 4.5GB available. This isn't a "remove a few characters" or "change a shader here and there". I have also run Windows metrics and the utility that came with the card when rendering to verify that there is over 4Gb free memory on the card at all times. I have reinstalled the drivers for the card as well, with no success.

What can I look at or try to get renders to work? Other 3D software such as Blender is able to render fairly complex scenes fairly easily.

Daz Studio version 4.12.0.86 won't load

cole4965 — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 02:29:04 +0000

Removed Daz Studio and Octane for Daz. (Couldn't figure out another to get rid of Octane). Downloaded latest DS version 4.12.0.86. Ran it and it said successfully installed but when it gets part way through loading it just disappears and doesn’t load?

Any help would be welcome.

Thank you

Trying to make monique morphs and running into weird issues

shavonnew — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 12:58:57 +0000

Hello,

I'm still really new to this, just started yesterday. I've been trying to create my own character morph from Monique but am having issues.

Here are my steps:

*Starting step
"- new scene, import monique
- change from high reso to base
- delete eyelashes"

- adjust head shape to liking
- save as head obj
- *Starting step*
- adjust body to liking
- save as body obj
- *Starting step*
- Morph Loader Pro
- both morphs enter successfully

However, for the head to look accurate, my head slider must be at 100% and body at 0% and vice versa for the head to look okay.
Anybody know why?

Can Daz Studio use a 128 threaded CPU to render?

EZ3DTV — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 06:43:42 +0000

I am considering the 64 core 128 AMD Threadripper, I am wondering if DAZ Studio is optimized to use all 128 threads?.

Another question, with this addon program FarmIt, would I be able to set the render to use 128 threads and a graphics card in one PC and also farm out the same job to a networked computer with a graphics card and mulpitple cores?

In the render settings there is a "Bridge Beta" would I really need FarmIt? Couldn't I use BridgeBeta instead to render over my own network?

Remove Morph?

MelissaGT — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 21:09:54 +0000

I transferred over Lydia HD to G8 and she came out really well...all except for her teeth. Is there a way to make it so that the teeth don't use that specific morph? Like can I pull that morph out of the teeth so that they're just regular G8 teeth?

Cookie! to Genesis 8 Female

wmfl1980 — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 08:06:04 +0000

I apologize if this is misplaced, seems like a technical question to me.

Is it possible to fit Cookie! clothes, like the critters paws, to the Genesis 8 Female? I've tried to load the paws and move them manually into place to no avail, they don't have xyz transforms, and the autofit doesn't work either. I did some digging about and couldn't find a solution that worked. Is there a way to add Cookie to the autofit? I'm trying to create a figure similar to Master Tigress from Kung Fu Panda and not having much luck. The paws for Cookie are exactly what I'm looking for, three fingers, large, ect.

Thank you.

Instalation of V4 and Victoria 4.2 keeps failing. I've tried doing it manually, but DS says it cant find the support folder (i put the support items in the support folder), so i dont know what's happening - it wont even give me the option to find a path. also, the items are in the folders, but i cant see them listed, or see the icon in smart content, and nothing whatsoever is showing in content library - as in the content library is completely empty.

Timeline - changing frame 0 pose alters later keyframes?

mikethe3dguy — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 22:13:06 +0000

I'm trying to set up a simple animation to facilitate dforce simulation of clothes and hair. I posed the figure at frame 0 as I wanted it to end up, then expanded the timeline to 51 frames. I made a couple alterations to figure position at a couple points along the timeline (frame 25 & frame 30). At all the later keyframes (25, 30 and 50) I had selected all figure parts and children before saving the keyframes.

The problem arises when I try to, at frame 0, set the figure to the default A pose. Once I did that, I checked frame 25 to make sure all was well, and was surprised to see that the figure was now also in the A pose at frames 25, 30 and beyond. This is confusing. Aren't the keyframes I added supposed to prevent this?

How do I do what I need to do?

Error Box when Logging in?

mmalbrough — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 09:05:56 +0000

Toon Shader Mixer

Ukyuu — Sun, 07 Jul 2019 10:18:25 +0000

So most recipes seem to have been lost in the forum archive wonderland, and I cannot access them. I've been tweaking with Shader Mixer for a while now, and am still trying to figure out a few things. What I'm trying to come up with is something that will give an anime impression with Iray.

I wonder where the two bricks below are, and if they are compatible with Iray.

If not, does anyone know a recipe to come up with something close to these bricks, please?

Also, I have another problem... there's a discrepancy between what I have in Texture Shaded and NVIDIA in the auxiliary viewport, does anyone know how I can fix that, please?

Hello all, i have a problem about HDRi: All renders show only with the HDRi in format .jpg ?

And why they cannot show in format .png ?

Because i want to maximize the quality and i want .png but it seems that the only its .jpg
