Thank you!

For the most part, when I apply iray uber to a 3DL surface, it transfers over and gives me iray options. Is there a 3dl equivalent? I don't want to use a preset 3DL because that may override any image maps I have on the surface in iray.

I've not had the time to work with Daz for a while, but now I'm noticing that I can't open any of my saved scenes as they're all greyed out. I got around this by dragging and dropping them in, but now I'm trying to edit textures and I'm having the same issue. I go to import my new texture file and everything is greyed out.

I found a post here from november of someone having a similar issue, but the fix there (making sure public builds is allowed to install through DIM) isn't a fix for me.

I tried to reinstall and reconnect my content libraries, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using DAZ 4.12.0.86 and for a while now when starting the program I get a rectangle in the lower part of the screen. At first its invisible, later it sometimes turns black or white as in the first screenshot. It does not move when I move or resize the program window, it always stays in the same place. It also covers anything below it, be it morphs in the main window or entries in the tabs on the right. It's quite annoying.

The very bottom of it - and just that, or it is unrelated - is clickable, though. It opens a popup, see the second screenshot.

When I close DAZ, the rectangle stays a moment longer on screen and then disappears.

I tried un- and reinstalling DAZ Studio but to no avail. Also updated my NVidia drivers to the latest version (445.87). Does anybody have an idea what this is?

I acquired Victoria 4 recently and... OK this sounds so basic but why can't I save V4 as a Character preset? I receive this message (and I know that V4 is selected) "You must select a TriAx Weight Mapped figure in the scene to save a Character Preset."

I was hoping that there was a one-button option to save and load a character's materials and shape, like Genesis.

Room size (either figur big or room big)

Enviroment or prop move to floor

Wild surface ( example:Angle to 180 why?) 

Resolution settings

and more points

Es gibt in vielen Produkte mit jede Menge Fehler drinne. Wenn man das alles in Forum diskutiert (Mit Product- Angaben), wäre das in Ordnung? Ich meine nicht den Umgang mit Daz. Mein Englisch reicht für den Umgang mit Daz aber nicht um mein Anliegen oder Fehlerbeschreibung an Support weiter zu geben. (Support hilft wunderbar aber man muss richtig beschreiben, das ist mein Problem) Aber etwas Deutsch verstehe ich, um z.B hier zu Fragen :-))

Falls mich jetzt jemand von euch verstanden hat, würde ich mich auf Diskutionen freuen, falls Daz nicht dagegen hat ;-)

I always use "Install Manager" to instal new products. Just purchased "Bast Hair". View Product Store Page

For some reason, the Install Manager put it in the "Lost & Found" Folder. Tried uninstalling and re-installing but the same thing. Tried reimporting the metadata and it doesn't help.

Any clues as to why it wold put it there? And not the "Smart Content/Hair" folder?

Thanks.

What are the in's and out's about getting this to work consistently?

Also, I can't find way to clear scale changes with some objects under any circumstance. There doesn't sem to be a key for the scale property in the animation timeline, even though it's animated, and the scale property does not copy when the parent-key is copied and pasted. Do I have to save a pose every time in some cases?

Any hints about this?
 

It's just very tedious and annoying to be going through all kind of drop down menus and all that. If there's a way to make it simpler please let me know!

Does anyone have this tool and can tell me what I am doing wrong? Does anyone have instructions on the proper way to use this to get the right results?

Thanks

thanks

I have tried everything I know to get a character to go from a bent over pose (customized from commercial) to a full standing pose (commercial) but keep one foot, the right one, exactly where it is in space. It all works beautifully, beautifully—except the ##$%^&#W feet slide! I just want one of them—ONE!—the right foot, to stay on the floor exactly where I have it.

I have tried everything. Everything. And it still slides.

I have tried using Command (on Mac) when double-clicking the pose I'm trying to get to, and turning off all translations. The feet slide away a few "inches," and then back.

I have used Pose Mixer, locking that foot and "All Translations on Hip" and applying the pose—including using Command-double-clicking on the target pose and not. The feet slide away a few "inches" and then back.

I have used Daz's "Pin" on the foot, in and out of combination with the above. Guess what the foot does. Anybody need a hint at this point?

The weird thing is that the "sliding" doesn't seem to make any key frames for that right foot in the timeline, or I would select them and make them linear. I even tried manually adding keyframes for the right foot only at the beggining pose and the target ending pose, and making them linear. The foot slides. I thought I had seen it all, but this is yet another new one.

Can anybody tell me how to deal with this? (I mean other than going to see a therapist.) Is there any way to stop this infernal sliding? Please.

They are probably at least ten years old, they were made for a much older version of Daz Studio and

Though I would like to, I just cannot as of yet justify spending 80 bucks for them (with tax).

Maybe if they were 10 or 15 bucks each... So instead I am perusing YouTube videos which are probably not as concise but at least many of them are for Daz Studio 4.12.

My question is, are there more recent tutorials available? Where you are you all going to get an indepth education on how Dforce works?

I would think educating people on Dforce would sell more Dforce products... :)

Does anybody own these tutorials, are they worth buying even though they are so old?

It seems corresponding to and older version of Daz would be a serious impediment...

I wish they would go on a better sale... (hint hint)

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling via Install Manager, and I have tried installing using DAZ Connect. 

Nothing seems to work.

I am looking for some help to make my modeling work a bit easier and have been really stumped by this issue. I use several programs to create props, but always use DAZ to fine tune them. I have been trying different settings and have not yet found how I can do this in DAZ.

For example, if I make a mailbox prop in Blender that includes the box, the door and the flag and export it as a obj file, I can re-open it and modify each part. But if I open it in DAZ and re-export it, when I open it in Blender it becomes a single piece and I can no longer edit the individual pieces. Is there something that should be checked/unchecked in the custom export settings? I normally export the objects in Poser format.

I would appreciate any tips on this.

I'm using Daz Studio and sometime my render crash. It happen when there is too many characters iun the same render. I can deal with it even if it's annoying. But when I looked in the "advenced" pannel of the render settings, I see the CPU but not my GPU.

I looked at other subject, so I took a look at the the log files and saw that that my CUDA drivers were not installed. So I did it. But the problem remain.

I saw that CUDA cannot find an engine, my GPU I guess, who is compatible with it.

So here is my questions, and I can be a really dumb one : Do I must have a NVidia GPU to make it work ? 

Because, when I'm going to "help", "troubleshooting" I can see my Card but not in the advanced pannel.

Here are my CPU and GPU model :

CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core

Processor 3.7 GHz

8.00 Go

GPU : AMD Radeon (TM) R9 390 Series

Thanks all !

(I went to 'Windows>Styles>Customize Styles, butthat only changed the grey frame background.)
