Since 4.12 that is no longer the case. Whenever I try to put the Timline window into my left tabs, it doesn't become a part, it just takes over. Meaning I can't get to my Smart Content or Render Settings unless I close the Timeline Window, and if I want to work on an animation, I have to go back and forth, opening and closing the Timeline window, instead of just having it as a tab like before. It looks like the tabs are pushed out of reach when I try to put the Timeline window to the left.

Is there a fix? Thank you.

I'm new to DAZ and I would have liked to know if it is possible to import in Daz a clothe in obj format (only mesh) that was made by another software?

If so, how?

Thank you very much because it is very important to me...

Does someone own that outfit and can look inside of the left sandal.

For me, it have an weird geometry style, like it doesnt have an surface.

I saw that in my 4k Render instant, because I was confused what that thing is at the feet.

I'm especially interested in Skin settings. Are there any tutorials or further information about that? What i found so far is this
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/surfaces/shaders/iray_uber_shader/shader_general_concepts/start
I assume that the PAs have a lot more information.

I really try to understand which bitmaps control, which effect, as I want to transfer the bitmaps and settings to Cycles and Vray.

At this stage, when I get something with dforce posed right and something wrong, I just reload the scene to where the blanket is right so I don't need to simulate again. Is there another way? Is it safe to remove a dforce modifier from something already posed? Thank you!

As an aside, I really hope Animate2 is updated and maintained. I actually like working with it quite a bit.

The description says:

MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti DirectX 12 RTX 2080 Ti VENTUS GP 11GB 352-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

 People seem to be fine using it, but what does "Support Video Card" mean.  This would be my primary and only video card, until I can get my PSU upgraded.

Thank you

Should I hide the beta file so that it doesn't keep wanting to install it every time I use the DIM?  I am assuming that the regular file followed the Beta version but I could be wrong.  Should Daz be pulling the Beta and not having both files try to install?

I googled searched it and people have said something about a headlamp? But the exact location where the headlamp is suppose to be, I don't have it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: this render was cut off short but i have completed a render and the grass is still very bleached white.

What is the best way to split apart Daz Models like a house?. They are commonly not modular where you can remove the roof, or remove a wall to get HDRI lighting in.

Looking to create easier to render enviroments like what rarestone and FeSoul do with their backgrounds. https://www.daz3d.com/fe-decoration-background-vol-2

Thanks in advance!

I wanna dforce my bed and it have standard no weightmap, so... why does it act like it HAVE a weightmap? there is absolute nothing around it.

The top of the Duvet is complete static :/

I just used the duvet how it was and yeah no idea :/

I used dforce much times already and thats why I also know the weightmaps, but... there is no weightmap.

With the Toon Snake, I ran into a new (for me) puzzle.  The toon eyes are a slider/morph but there is a subcomponent of ERCs. They are the only piece that I can't figure out to have a accurate conversion.  Is there a way to preserve them?  Currently, my DS version of the toon snake only has traditional round eyes because the subcomponents are not carrying through the conversion.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. 

I just had an horrible crash and... it seems to continue going crazy.

I added my char socks and then I did duplicate them and fit+parent them to a other char.

Now I splitted the socks into left+Right sock via Geo editor, this did caused that the socks from the other Person also got crazy (not the first time... why does geo editor change ALL objects that are similar and not only the one I edit?)

See attachment it was complete broken.

I renamed all and restored the design and now... are the socks from the other person broken, the bottom is gone and when I select them I select the body.

I assume when I switch now to geo editor it will crash >_<

Please help me ;( How to fix my 2 socks with splitted socks. I wanna make the socks different dirty, because they painted the wall and paint is splattered/dropped on the socks.

See last image.

Edit: the bottom s are now "socks" and I did deactivate and reactivate that surface via geo editor, now its back. I have no idea whats going on.

But can someone explain me why geoediting same/duplicated objects cause such problems? Why is not every item handled as its own?

Is there also a way to filter for more key words, so that I see for example all parameters containing either 'Smile' or 'Laugh'.

One other disappointing thing when using the filter field: Sometimes when I try to type a letter in it, the key stroke is used to control the view. Is there a way to deactivate it?

To explain this better, i noticed some surfaces from figures i bought have "multiple textures" and when going to the folder they all end up as 1001, 1002, etc for the uv's (genesis 8)

how can i load textures the same way? right now I'm loading a displacement texture, and i have all the endings as 1001, 1002, etc, but it seems like it only loads the one i open and not all of them.(which means my displacement is wrong on the other uvs i get face displacement on arms, etc)

how can i make it work in multi tile?

thank you

Edit: I deleted everything I could from My Daz library, uninstalled through Daz Dim and downloaded and installed through Daz Dim and she seams to be working now. I have had this problem with Albany before, it was a while ago so I don't remember how it got fixed but I mangaged to get her working again. She seams to be very buggy, I adore the shape and skin but the buggyness not so much . I'll try now and convert her to G3 using the G8 to G3 converter, it's so by using that I disovered she was not working again. I have seen her converted through that product so hopefully I can get it to work also. I'll write here if I get any more bugs with her. 

In other words, if you edit the Image Path directory name/path, it registers the name of the new directory (and displays it correctly in Image Path), but it doesn't put the files in the newly selected directory, subsequent renders go into the old filepath.

It happens consistently. Is this going to be fixed in the next version? Is there a workaround to get the correct file path until it is?

normally I have no problem moving my tabs or panels, but... I cant drag the panels out, I want to move it, but I cant move it out of that group, also I am somehow atm. to stupid to find the panel settings, normally I see a option for "dockable/undockable" but... where is it, what did I press that it disappeared? :/

Help :(

Update:

I pressed CTRL+u I didnt knowed what that was so uhm... now I know it^^.

However, when I load it in it looks normal. What causes this issue?

Thank you, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Daz 4.11, 3Delight.

See examples:

Genesis 8 Default:

G8M Justice:

I tried several modifications on surfaces, tried to use "200Plus" and "Natural Eyes", but the error continues.
Until yesterday I had problems with some Genesis 3 characters that used Rarestone, but applying 200Plus solved this problem (Accidentally).

What I noticed was that the Genesis 3 figures that used Rarestone were simply replaced by 200Plus, and that solved the problem, but in Genesis 8, both Rarestone and 200Plus are active, is there any way to remove Rarestone?
