I want to make something like the Meg Ryan Curly Hair here (Style #1). Note the loose, S-curl waves along the lengths of the strands. That's what I can't find a way to do.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Crissie

I have windows set to manage the size for me, it usually allocates around 40GBs from my SSD which is fine because I have plenty of room. But lately it sits @ just over 4GBs.

32GBs Trident Z RGB Ram

2 x 1080s one being a Ti.

I'm wondering how everyone else's behaves.

Thanks,

Any help would be appreciated. 

i have a problem with the asset 'MRL dForce Long Morphing Hair for Genesis 8 Female(s)' and need help.

link to asset: https://www.daz3d.com/mrl-dforce-long-morphing-hair-for-genesis-8-females

when i load this asset in the viewport, i only have a shadow of the hair. 

and rendermode:

i have no idea how i get the missing hair part.

what i tryed:
checking for requirements -> does'nt have one
checking description -> no information
checking internet for a solution -> without success
checking logfile -> empty
reinstall over install manager -> nothing change
reinstall over daz connect -> same result
downloadet manuel -> same result
reinstall daz 3d -> nothing new

so my guess are the asset are corrupt or not compledet.
or do i miss something? i have no cloue.

Try it yourself. I attached my completely white PNG file to this post.

1. Open DAZ Studio.
2. Load Genesis 8 Female.
3. Go to LEGS surface setting.
4. Set a completely white transparency map for the Leg surafce cutout opacity.

Does it darken slightly the legs for you? 

In Photoshop I created a 4096x4096 grayscale image. I set its color to bright white (255,255,255).  When I put this map into the cutout opacity of Genesis 8 Female's Legs surface, it causes the legs to darken slightly. Why is it doing this and how can I stop it from doing so? It's not supposed to change the color of the surface in anyway. I also tried setting the gamma to 0  in DAZ's image editor for the map;I also tried setting it to alpha, but it always darkens the skin a bit. Please help.

I'm having trouble rendering The Alchemists hair and beard set in Iray. No matter what color I tint the fibermesh hair set it will start out the correct color but by the time it finishes rendering it has turned completely white. I have tried this using differend characters. I have tried this attempting to change things under the Surfaces tabs (which I don't understand at all)

What Am I missing?

The following screen grabs will give you an idea of the problem. The upper left corner is the final

Any thoughts on what may be the cause?

I have daz open, but wanted to open it again to dforce there a subset, but... for some reason do i now stuck in "starting plugins".

I'm a bit afraid, what happen if I also close my current daz, will I be unable to open it also? ;(

atm. I am using the new Mesh grabber 1.9 beta:

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/5362401/#Comment_5362401

maybe it doesnt allow double instances?

I could open daz today already 2x, but the interface got white like in my screen, no response "white".... so I killed it.

maybe that kill did now killed it complete? :(

The path is correct, or I wouldn't see the one file in the Content window. When I mouse over that one file the character acts as expected. Browse to file location shows that the other files are actually there. Looking at the file properties they seem to be correct, showing as .ds files (DAZ Ascii script). (there are other files, .gfa and the png thumbnails).

Is there a way to get Daz to recognize those files?

I bought another RTX2070 Super card and running two now. I noticed the main rendering card is running at 80degrees under rendering load and the fans are spinning around 2900rpm. 

Will this be a long term problem? My older card never really went over 70degrees, hardly ever that high and fans spinning around 1200rpm max... Currently this older card which is now the second card runs same temps with the Super card running at 80degrees as ive said.

Opening all panels of my Cougar Panzer G case doesn't seem to drop GPU temp much. I have enough intake/exhuast fans should anyone ask.

Ive used MSI afterburner and Nvidia Inspector 3rd party software to manage the temp/fans but doesnt seem to help much.

Thx 

Same thing has now happened to "Create Advanced Iray Node Properties"

2020-02-11 19:03:39.769 Could not open file : /Scripts/Utilities/Create Advanced Iray Node Properties.dse
File does not exist.

In My Library, I have two subfolders, Presets and Scenes.

When I unzip my file, I get the following (see second image).

Do I add the Content folder into My Library?

And do I leave the Manifest.dsx and Supllmenet.dsx alone?

After using Daz for years it still surprises me to say the least. If I put more than one camera in a scene (Camera 1 and Default Camera) and try and set one of the cameras for one dimension (say 1:1) and the other for (16:9), Why is it that BOTH cameras then have the same dimension that I just changed for the one camera. Or is the viewport not tied to the camera dimension setting for individual cameras like I was hoping they should be or am I missing something here with a camera setting? I even tried adding a third camera to the scene and when I have one of the cameras selected in the scene tab and set the dimensions for it over in the (Dimension Preset (Global)) drop down of the (Render Settings) tab all three of my cameras then wind up having the same dimension. I can't believe this is how the devlopers meant to design the product. You have more than one camera you should be able to select individual dimensions for each camera.  Please excuse me if this has been adressed before. I tried looking through the forums for a topic like this and came away empty from my search. 

SW.....

Ever since then, I’ve been able to render images (as you can see here), but I’d like to create a large gallery of renders on my personal website. There are still some drawbacks to rendering images on a laptop that was never meant for 3D rendering that I would like to overcome with an affordable computer, either a laptop or desktop pc, better suited for it. An example of this drawback is when I load Mesozoic Badlands from Alessandro_AM and LMX3D and attempt to render it, my entire computer freezes and I have to restart it.

Daz’s new dForce physics engine can’t work with my HP Elitebook 8440p either. When I attempt to simulate cloth, a window pops up that says “Could not find a valid OpenCL device”. I’ve read through this thread to find out how to solve this problem. But I’m still unsure of what my computer needs for the dForce physics engine to work.  

Now that tax season is here, I would like to purchase a new computer, but I’m on a budget. I’m looking for a desktop computer or laptop that’s not much more than 650 dollars that will allow me to do large, epic-scale renders without slowing my computer down too much. Does anyone know of any affordable computers I could consider purchasing? What computers, a laptop or a desktop pc, have all of Daz Studio’s system requirements and is around or under 650 dollars? 

I considered purchasing the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-57D4 because it's an affordable gaming laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics processor. On this products page at amazon.com, I read that it can be upgraded with 32GB of RAM. What would be the advantages of upgrading this with 32 GB of RAM? Will this shorten my rendering time?

As you can probably tell from what I’ve typed here, I’m not the most tech-savvy person in the world. But I thought it would be best for me to ask these questions to those who are more experienced with 3D rendering than I am. I’ll appreciate your help. 

I'm using the Poseidon Outfit for Genesis 8 Male.

In the first attachment, my characters pants are black and smooth.

How do I get it to look like the pants in the picture with all of the detail.

Thanks in anticipation.

Is there any way to find out what the old morph setting was?

Well I bought this to try out using 4.7 and 4.8 beta
it said it would work on Studio version 3 and 4

in 4.7 it won't Load
in 4.8 it doesn't appear

Thank you!

I am having some issues with my Viewport View while trying to make simple moves of characters or camera positions or pretty much anything scene related. Im doing this in normal viewing mode, not in rendering or preview.

Problem starts when I add a third character into the scene so I'm thinking its resource related. Rendering times are ok. My pc is pretty robust. Nvidia 10080TI, 64gb ddr ram, 8 core Intel CPU.

Is there anyway adjustments I can make to help smooth this up? I have the preview mode as best in settings. It gets really anoying when trying to pose characters.

Thanks in Advance!

1. I created the animation and saved it as aniblock

2. I baked the animaiton to studio keyfrmaes to tweak a few things in KeyMate (transitions between different aniblocks had to be smoothened).

3. I deleted keyframes in Keymate, but original aniblocks are still in place. It resulted in aniblock working only for character clothing and the character stuck in t-pose.

4. I deleted all aniblocks fro the timeline to start over and dragged them back on the timeline again. The result is still the same: the clothing moves, the character won't. (see picture)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Except there's extra broken/empty icons showing in Daz for stuff I bought at other places. The actual icons are there, too, but I have these extras that are useless and in fact if I try to double click to load them, give me an error. Does anyone know why I have them and better how to get rid of them?

See image, why is the female filter showing male results?

How do you get this thing to do more than rip some clothing? the ripping I figured out. but figuring our the grungy parts has NOT worked for me. please help with a step by step guide. How to add the grungy effects, both in general and after adding other effects such as ripping and other grunge effects (if different). I know others have asked, I can't find the answer.
