Great Greymalkin Robot was missing at first and I downloaded it manually, copied it into my DAZ downloads folder, refreshed the DIM and was able to install it. The other 3 items all say they are already installed. But there's no sign of them in Studio (even if I do a search).

Any ideas? Please don't tell me I can't use old models in new versions of Studio. That would be a LOT of unusable assets (and expensive).

any idea what I'm missing here?

i checked the plugin and its green

thanks

take a look at the attachment, is there a way, I can look through the wall with my iray panel? without hiding anything other? can I somehow make it affect only to the wall? and only the one in front of my camera?

I want that the sun from the Dome dont go through it, like there is a window open, thats why I wanna use that iray plane. If I change the focus lenght, I get a too big view inside of the room.

I also looked one day for a Video tutorial for it, but I dont get it.

I tried reinstalling Daz and updateing Daz to the latest version but the issue remained so I am not sure if there is something I am missing or something in my Library got corrupted.  I am not sure how because when I loaded the OBJ and had the crash it was an completely new file with no other items on the scene.   Also a full reinstall of Daz for me is a daunting task, I have thousands of Daz items loaded on the library, over 250GB, about 540 from Daz, hundreds I have made myself,  another 300 from other places like renderosity etc.  Its easier to just pick up a new SSD and try recovering my workstation from the weekly backup,  which is in itself a nightmare because of all the VM's.

So before I do this is there anything I could be missing here?

First time user on forums so I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask but I need help

I have downloaded DAZ 3D studios a while back working (Version 4.10) perfectly fine. A couple days ago, I left the program on a couple days when working on scenes and suddenly the window of the software would not show on my screen. I figured to close it down and start it up again but now it does not pop up anymore yet it shows that I have it. I updated it (4.12) to see if that was the problem, it still doesn't open up properly. I reinstalled and doesn't open up properly. I restarted and it still doesn't open up properly. Please help me.

I have a .mdl file, I am able to open it in the shader mixer but I can get it to be aplyed in the objects, or turn it into Iray shaders. 

Links to documentation and videos are most welcome. 

Thanks 

Please help.

Been having a bit of trouble making an animation. I've just about figured out how to get translations and other transforms to auto-create a keyframe, but for some reason, loading in expressions from saves or products is not adding a keyframe.

I load in an expression at Frame 10, I have to remember that I loaded it in there because I can't 'jump to next keyframe' or see it on the timeline. I've tried every kind of option under key creation scope, have 'Monitor Parameters Pane' selected and still can't seem to find why it's not auto-creating.

Anyone else had this? Better yet, anyone got a fix?

[Edit] This is with V4. Not Genesis. I don't use any of the Genesis figures, so any advice with Genesis might not be so relevant anymore :(

I tried to pin the character's hand rotations and translations but that has no noticible effect, if I lean the character forward the hands imediatly move out of place.

Is there anyway to lock the hands in 3d space like there was in Poser?

I'm using Genesis 8 Male and the latest release (not beta) of Studio. 

Been tweaking options at random but nothing seems to work yet. Anyone know what this might be?

Daz does not support Mac os? Or my operating system is outdated?

Thanks.

 Just wanted to know the difference between a DAZ original created with another artist compared to a non DAZ original.

 Thanks!

I have looked at my folders and haven't installed anything new lately. The only thing that I can think maybe happening is if the Gen 8 figure was updated somehow by the Install Manager.

Please ignore this thread, I dug a little deeper into the log file and saw that it was basically a corrupt XTransfer file that seemed to be killing all Genesis 8 Female figures.

thanks

My old Daz3.1 rendered much faster.

And is this iray, whatever it is, optional?  (and what IS it, anyhow?)

Thanks.

so I know people ask a lot about fireflies and usually they have it because there's not enough light in the scene or that there haven't been enough iterations. However, I'm running into a problem with a few indoor enviroments in which no matter how many lights I place or how many textures I reduce- or objects I remove, there are always these white little fireflies around. 

Yes, I could wait much longer than I usually do and complete the render with more iterations but given I can render a similar scene with 10x less the iterations and no grain at all, I feel like it has to be something else or am I wrong? I just thought that these white fireflies might be caused by an issue in either the surface tab or the render settings, could that be true?

Here are two pictures of the same room, one relatively low light and full of furniture, you can obviously say it's so much grain because of that, second one is with all furniture removed and the scene lit. Why are there still so many of these white fireflies? (As enviroment mode I have scene only selected so it can't be from incoming HDRI light either.

Thank you!

Hi, I got this problem, I clicked one time and then get the geo at a lot places selected.

Any idea why this happen?

I have this problem also at the Onesie in the Daz3d Store:

https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-onesie-for-genesis-8

The used item now is a swimsuit, I wanted to adjust it with mesh grabber, but everything moves :(

Any idea how I can fix such problems? (if it is fixable IN Daz3d, because I use only daz3d)

But where is the file this creates (I kinda want to copy it to google drive)? Maybe there's a simple post somewhere that explains how to back up your categories...

Like for example;

1. Click on a shirt.

2. Click on filter by context.

3. Pops up all the materials associated with that shirt.
