      <description><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I purchased PedroFurtadoArts&#39; <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.daz3d.com/hd-visemes-for-genesis-8-female">https://www.daz3d.com/hd-visemes-for-genesis-8-female</a></strong></p>

<p>It is supposed to have:</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 00_HD Visemes<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; AAHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EEHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EHHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ERHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IHHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IYHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; KHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; LHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; MHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OWHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SHHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; THHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UWHD<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WHD</p>

<p>The ONLY morph that appears is: 00_HD</p>

<p>In deciphering a few of the unfindable morphs, allegedly their path is: &quot;group&quot; : &quot;/Hidden/Pose Controls/Head/Visemes&quot;</p>

<p><span>There is NO such folder on the Parameters Tab.</span></p>

<p>The 00_HD is not listed as hidden and is shown at the location Pose Controls/Head/Visemes</p>

<p><span>As these appear to be somewhat complicated morphs {as well as HD} - thought I would ask before putting in a CS -- are not all those other morphs supposed to be findable in D/S?</span></p>

<p>......</p>

<p>edit ... solved. I thought I had show hidden checked but apparently did not, and apparently some hidden folders will show IF they contain unhidden content. I know how to confuse myself real good lol ...</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello. I am writing to solve a problem and some doubts about iray rendering. the hardware consists of AMD Rysen 9 3900x processor, 2x GPU nvidia 1080 8gb, Ram 32gb.<br />
In practice ... some rendering of heavy scenes (Ram PC occupied 20Gb max, 750MiB / 1.700GiB geometry mem consumption + Texture etc ..) start processed by the CPU regardless of the choices made in render settings / advanced.<br />
First question.<br />
I seem to have understood that once the Ram capacity of the video cards is exceeded, the CPU takes over. Quite right?<br />
Second question.<br />
Why, and this also occurs when the rendering starts fast with video cards, Task Manager indicates the GPU at 0/2%. This thing puzzles me.<br />
Third question.<br />
SLI mode not good for Iray?<br />
I hope the questions are not too confusing. I don&#39;t have much technical knowledge ... :)</p>

      <title>Multiple graphics cards? Helpful? Or a waste of money?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am starting to build a new machine.&nbsp; My current machine, which is fine for most of what I do, just doesn&#39;t have the umph for rendering with any alacrity. My current machine; Intel I5-6600 (4 cores), 8Gb memory, Nvidia 1050Ti Graphics card. According to my System panel, I have a 5.9 Windows Experience Index.</p>

<p>I have to say my budget is severely limited. I can spend a few hundred here and there, so it will take time to build. I&#39;m currently looking a I7 processor (maybe I9, but a&nbsp;newer I5 would still be an improvement). 16Gb memory, (but probably 32Gb). And either an Nvidia 1660 or Nvidia 2060.&nbsp; This system isn&#39;t exactly a barn burner either, but definitely an improvement.&nbsp; So I was thinking. Maybe I could add a second graphics card at a later date? and the two cards together would boost rendering times.</p>

<p>So that&#39;s the question. Does Daz rendering utilize multiple graphics cards? Or only one?&nbsp; If I add a second card, will that improve rendering times? Or is it a waste of my limited money?</p>

<p>I&#39;ve been reading, and haven&#39;t found any definitive articles... yet. (I will continue to research).</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thank-you...</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>So I have the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.daz3d.com/hoodie-outfit-for-genesis-3-male-s">Hoodie Outfit</a>. The trouble is, when you put the shoes on the figure, it hides the feet. And I get it. It&#39;s the easiest way to avoid poke-through on what can be a troublesome part of the body.</p>

<p>But when I remove the shoes, the feet remain hidden. How do I make them visible again? It&#39;d be nice if the artists&nbsp;provided some sort of button to hide/show feet, but there&#39;s not. (There <em>are </em>buttons to hide the hoodie and sleeves, but of course, no way to bring those back either.)</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi.&nbsp; I just installed a new video card, upgrading from an older Radeon card.&nbsp; As you might imagine, rendering is much faster...when it doesn&#39;t crash.</p>

<p>I have had crashes both when rendering, and when using the &#39;NVIDIA Iray&#39; display mode.</p>

<p>More specifically, I think I&#39;m getting a crash when my resolution is too high (I think 4800 x 7100 crashed, 2400 x 3550 did not) and/or when Progressive Render Max Samples is set to 15000 (I&#39;m not an expert to please let me know if that setting is bonkers...).</p>

<p>I am also definitely crashing when using the display mode&nbsp;and changing the scene, like by shifting the camera or rotating dome lighting.&nbsp; Not every time, but enough to make me save lots.</p>

<p>As I said this is a new card so I don&#39;t know if this is a hardware problem.&nbsp; The only piece of software that is acting up is Daz, but I haven&#39;t played with many other pieces of software, so that&#39;s not really sayng anything.&nbsp; The screen did go completely black at one point, which required a reboot (usually Daz just crashes to desktop).</p>

<p>This card has 6GB GDDR6 memory.&nbsp; The drivers are updated.&nbsp; My windows 10 drivers are also updated.&nbsp; The only other thing I can think that might possibly be in play is that I installed Daz on C: which is my SSD, and now it&#39;s nearly full (I want to pull my content off of it as soon as I figure out how, as reinstalling everything takes forever).&nbsp; Does Daz need room for &quot;swap space&quot;?</p>

<p>The bottom of my latest crash report log ends with:</p>

<p>2019-07-08 16:47:47.940 WARNING: ..\..\..\..\..\src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(302): Iray FATAL - module:category(API:MEMORY): Memory allocation failed.</p>

<p>...many times.&nbsp; Could this be a hardware problem with the video card?&nbsp; Is 6GB enough memory on the card?</p>

<p>Not all of my logs end that way though :/</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>SHORT VERSION:</strong> Try turning off your Dome Map.</p>

<p><strong>LONG VERSION: </strong>So since 4.12 came out Ive been having issues whereas even with a basic scene,&nbsp;sometimes a single figure, DAZ wants to switch to CPU drawing. This runs my CPU temp up and redlights my motherboard bogging down my rig and possibly damaging my hardware. Happen very quickly for every render. This is on an i7-7820x @ 3.6ghz, 32gb&nbsp;Ram,&nbsp;GTX1080 11gb (plenty Vram) (Latest Studio Drivers), Win64, non potato.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The logs only error warning was the &quot;IRAY OPTICX No Longer Supported&quot; message. (My thought was OpticX is only for the Newest NVIDIA&nbsp;RTX 20&#39;s series cards so I thought it&nbsp;might be a Coding Error with GTX 10 series beyond my capability to fix.)</p>

<p>Well its was still a nusance so I tried clearing the DAZ cache temp files as suggested on the support page. (this helped for a very hort time it seemed but still encounter the problem a little time later, so I was trying to make a habit of clearing the temps regularly but it was still happening)</p>

<p>I thought, ok well, what if its my render settings or draw settings. So I ditched my settings and reset all to default. (No No change)&nbsp;</p>

<p>HOWEVER, I did notice that my default&nbsp;Dome Map was the old RuinsB map and since I wasn&#39;t using it I turned it off setting it none, I could hear the strain come off the system as soon as I did, and unlocked cool new environment settings in the process.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I have been turning off the HDRI Map RuinsB when I start DAZ ever since and havent had a problem yet, until today, when I forgot to turn the map off and got the red light again. (note NVIDIA also did do a drvier update recently)</p>

<p>If anyone else is having this issue and using the old RuinsB map or other map try turning them off and see if this solves it for you. Would be good to have a second tester to help validate the source of the issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>My problem right now is, I can&#39;t find the eyes pose control sliders as usual selecting the character&#39;s Head and in <em>Parameters &gt; Pose Control &gt; Head</em></p>

<p>Does anybody knows what product do I need to install in DAZ3DIM in order to get those sliders back again?</p>

<p>So we&#39;ve been battling the zombie dog with an issue that has come up before (with other products).</p>

<p>Daz crashes on save when we get to the Writing Assets stage.</p>

<p>It&#39;s fine if we have only ONE (zombie) DOG in the scence. Soon as we add 2, it can&#39;t save the scene.</p>

<p>What&#39;s consistent is- there being more than one. Doesn&#39;t matter if I use Node Duplicate or load a second dog from scratch.</p>

<p>Individually, I can load them and save them, but once the scene contains more than one figure- it crashes on Save.</p>

<p>--------------</p>

<p>I&#39;m thinkin it&#39;s related to scene IDs or some such mix-up, but I can&#39;t remember off-hand how I used to work those areas.</p>

<p>(I&#39;ve already exhausted tons of time thinking it might have been tied to morphs or a skin texture/material or memory and Daz build or what else in the scene.....so no, it&#39;s ONLY the Zombie Dog causing the issue.)</p>

<p>Who&#39;s got an idea of where to attack next?</p>

<p>This is so odd. I can&#39;t figure out why the pelvis would remain tilted when all the controllers are set to zero.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><span>Image removed</span></p>

<p>The right and left thigh have been symmetrified with the exact same values except negative.</p>

<p>Why is the Pelvis tilted? How do I fix that? I know I can just reset the pose, but I want to figure out how to fix this problem in case it happens in the future again.</p>

<p><strong>Edit: I forgot about the hip.&nbsp; There&#39;s a Hip and a Pelvis.&nbsp; I had to reset the Hip Bend, Side-Side, Twist controllers to zero in addition to the pelvis.</strong></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Last night I was singing the praises of the just bought EJ Easy Pro Render Suite due to the brilliant Preview aspect, but today I HATE IT! How do I switch off Preview?! I could have sworn that last night I had to click a box to start the Preview, but now I can&#39;t find any way of turning it off.<br />
<br />
The problem is that today I loaded a 3DL scene and as soon as it was loaded, the Preview - which I didn&#39;t think would even function with a 3DL scene - began the Iray preview render! I checked render settings and it was set to 3DL, so why the heck is it instantly auto-rendering in Iray?! I&#39;ve tried loading a few of my complete 3DL scenes and subsets and not only do they automatically begin rendering in Iray, as soon as I try to alter anything Daz Studio crashes! How the heck to I switch the accursed thing off?!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I have had a tech support ticket open now for two months, and not for a trivial matter -- DS crashes on startup, so I am unable to work!&nbsp; I get one response, usually a question I&#39;ve already answered, from tech support about every 10 days.&nbsp; At this rate, I will not be back online until about 2022.&nbsp; Yes, it&#39;s a free program, but unless it works, I have thousands of dollars worth of DAZ software that is useless.&nbsp; Can I suggest a paid tech support option?&nbsp; The cash flow would enable you to hire more tech support staff.&nbsp; At this point, I am so desperate, I would pay just about anything for help.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I noticed that in the latest beta of 4.12, when I hide a group, only some of that group&#39;s contents got hidden.</p>

<p>This hurts me because I used to put things into groups primarily to allow me to hide all those things together with one mouse click.</p>

<p>Is there some other way to hide groups of things, now that the regular grouping feature no longer allows it?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I want Daz to be less-taxing on my system, though with bigger projects, this seems to be difficult in my current setup. I&#39;m talking about&nbsp;rendering environments, multiple figures, clothing, lights, etc.</p>

<p>Right now, I have an NVIDIA GTX 1060 GPU, Intel Core i5-7500 <a rel="nofollow" href="/forums/profile/3">@3</a>.40GHz, and 16gb of RAM.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Render times aren&#39;t AWFUL, considering I try to render at dimensions of 3200 or above. What should I consider upgrading first, do you think?</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thanks very much!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[Recently, sometimes when I'm rendering, my USB Controllers on my PC will stop working.  This only happens when a render is cooking, but not -every- time a render is cooking. 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers for the controller, and updated my video drivers. 

When it happens, I have to hard restart via power button, as I have no way to control the computer (both mouse and keyboard are USB).

Anyone have any ideas about what's going on or how to fix it, before I put in a help ticket?

I want to stop my render destination folder filling-up with icon.png&#39;s<br />
Only happens in the main folder not in sub-folders - so not being created by Windows.<br />
icon.png&#39;s <strong>only</strong> created while Building Interface is active at Daz start-up, not after each render.<br />
Windows 7 did not have this problem - anyone know how to stop this?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>For Christmas my wife bought me an RTX-2070 Super GPU and I was hoping to see a blazing improvement over the CPU which I been using for a year now.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So I installed the card as per instructions, I downloaded and installed the drivers from the Nvidia site AND I updated Windows.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In Daz Studio (I have version 4.12), I made sure that under the Render Tab - Advanced Settings that the CPU was unchecked and GPU was checked.&nbsp; So for a test I loaded up a render that I did previously using just the CPU and that render took 10 hours to get to 80%.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would be hoping that the RTX-2070 could get the job done in one hour.&nbsp; So I set up my machine, left for an hour and came back to find the Render progress at only 400 iterations and at 0% still.&nbsp;&nbsp; The render that was done in that time still looks grainy.</p>

<p>Another test I did was to check out the Iray mode over the Textured Shaded mode and panning and zooming I expected to be pretty smooth in Iray mode and again, I don&#39;t see much improvement at all.</p>

<p>So before I take the card out and send it back, I am wondering if there are other settings that I am overlooking?</p>

<p>For $500+ for the RTX-2070, and for the benchmark tests I looked at before I bought the card, I was expecting my render times to be cut down by 1/10th the time.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would be even happy with 1/5th the time.&nbsp; But if this is all I am getting out of this card, it is going to go back to the store.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would be better off getting a faster CPU.</p>

<p>Any assitance would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>Geo</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, I&nbsp;<span>&nbsp;purchased Teen Josie Pro-bundle and Teen Jane Pro-bundle together Sunday evening but did not receive my items, and it locked up my cart.&nbsp; This morning at 5:30 this morning and the cart was still locked up saying it was empty yet the cart in the top corner showed 2 items on the cart avatar.&nbsp; I then tried to add a free item to the cart but when I tried to make the purchase &nbsp;everything disappeared.&nbsp; You had a great price on those two items I mean $35 was fantastic.&nbsp; I noticed this morning though that Teen Jane was included in Teen Josie. I think your cart did something unusual and locked it up when it showed an item in an item it stopped the purchase?&nbsp; Now though when I tried to purchase Teen &nbsp;Josie was now $135 which I can&#39;t really afford... Can you help?&nbsp; I don not have a order number and can&#39;t submit a ticket. I emailed but haven&#39;t gotten a reply so I am stymied.&nbsp;</span></p>
