Characters/Objects not showing up in 4.10

melgone22 — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:49:36 +0000

I'm having an issue in trying to get anything to load into DAZ 4.10. Namely, I keep getting messages about characters and their assets not being found by the program.

Problem is, they're in my library (I checked both the "My DAZ 3D Library" and "My Library" folders, before anyone asks), so I have no idea why DAZ isn't reading them or how to fix it so that it does barring a complete reinstall of the program itself.

Just Diffuse Maps (iray)

Melissa Conway — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:52:52 +0000

I'd like to be able to select every item in my scene and apply a shader that removes everything but the diffuse maps. I looked but didn't find a product that would do that. Maybe there's a script somewhere? Thanks.

DAZ INSTALL MANAGER LOGIN ERROR

deidrereaystudios — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 23:25:54 +0000

I see there have been many issues with this install manager.. For someone whom recently purchased products here I am upset at two hours later trying to have install manager login. (NO antiviruses on workstation) triple checked info is correct. What is the problem!?!?!?!?!

Experiencing fit issues with "Boho for G3F" on a G3F character. [sort of solved]

kyoto kid — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 02:02:59 +0000

...not sure what the issue is but for some reason I cannot get Boho for G3F to fit properly to a G3F character. The really vexing part of this is that I used previously fit it to this same character (a custom one I created) before with no trouble at all. When I select the character and click on any component, autofit seems to just quit part so the way through. I can successfully fit outfit it to another character (which I did), and have no trouble fitting other clothing the character in question (which I also experimented with using several different outfits), just not this particular one for some unexplainable reason. Feeling there was possibly some sort of corruption to the content file, I first uninstalled and reinstalled it, then uninstalled deleted, downloaded, and reinstalled it, but both times the same thing occurred. When I look at it in the Scene Tab, it parents correctly to the character, but for some reason refuses to finish fitting (the sleeves and top of the blouse end up below her arms and shoulders while the skirt does not come all the way up on her hips). AM also usingthe same version of Daz (4.12 beta) where it worked in before.

I have never seen this occur before and have no idea how to fix it and could really use some help or information as to what might have broken the fitting process..

Issue with new pose set PCP.

S_Monger — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 20:34:08 +0000

I purchased the pose set People Carrying People: 25 Pose Pairs for Gen 8 male/female by atrilliongames. It doesn't seem to work. The store page says it comes with 50 poses, 25 scripts. The only things I see in my DS library are the 25 scripts that seem to do nothing. I tried with every Gen 8 character that I have, including the base model. Nothing. Am I doing soemthing wrong or did something go wrong during instillation? I direct installed using DIM.

Daz 4.7 Suddenly stopped working

useless_1975_837db407db — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 10:15:51 +0000

Yes, I'm still using the old 4.7 and it's working fine.

Until today, it just don't want to start anymore.

When I run the program, the loading screen pops up then you see the whole DAZ program/interface for a few seconds then crashes and closes down.

I got this error screen -> https://imgur.com/a/YwnprzZ

Last I used DAZ was just 3 days ago.

No new softwares installed, no system settings or anti-virus configured/edited whatsoever. Sadly, there's no system restore points for me.

I tried restarting multiple times, didn't work.

So what seems to be the problem?

Why do parts of some props become invisible when rendered in High Resolution using 3Delight?

CA415 — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 18:12:44 +0000

I've noticed that a number of props purchased through DAZ 3D behave strangely when rendered using 3Delight.

In the attached screenshot, the chair on the left is a High Resolution object, while the chair on the right is the same object in Base resolution.

Why are parts of the High Resolution object invisible when rendered in 3Delight?

Should the HDRI Dome still be reflected if Draw Dome is off?

conscience73 — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 13:54:17 +0000

In rendering a scene with a lake of sorts, I noticed a strange distortion on the surface (attached). Draw dome is off so I expected only the light, alas.

In checking (using a mirror shader) the dome is clearly seen. (Also attached)

This may be a case of simple misunderstanding but should this be so?

Holy Moly, what is DazStudio doing here

Loony — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 03:26:58 +0000

WHAT the heck is going on here?.... my Pants are boots and my boots are... a Torus primitve object.... I had the char hidden and just enabled him to place him and....

HOW is that possible?.... I used a torus in the scene yes, but.... HOW! can it replace the commanders clothes and how can shoes become pants and... I mean he was invisible, the simulations and all never touched him O_O

Please explain me this Witchcraft!

Rendering motion blur in IRAY?

ShaunBuilds — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 17:50:25 +0000

Hi all, I've searched all through the forums, and everywhere else I could think of (blogs, YouTube, Google searches). I found out how top do motion blur on 3dDelight but I cannot find how to do it in IRAY without buying the 'Motion Blur in IRAY' package. Is there another way, or do I have to suck it up and buy the package?

CJ8 link doesn't work

ironclawxii — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 08:22:38 +0000

Base CJ8 (base model) product link doesn't work from the store. Not even if you go to starter or pro bundles, and select it from the product list there. It just directs back to home page.

Although using this URL works: https://www.daz3d.com/cj-8

Just thought you guys might want to fix that.

Help! Eyes are gone

rollbc_6040d68780 — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 18:24:51 +0000

I'm having an issue with one of my model's eyes and eyelashes. Everything was fine and then I opened up the file again and things were wrong. As far as I know, I didn't change any settings or move any files. Help! This is driving me nuts

Morphs changed after update?

hapciupalit — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 08:06:21 +0000

Hello,

I have a problem and I'm not sure how to fix it. A few months ago I have created a character in Daz 4.10 and I used it a lot, however not long ago I have updated my Daz to 4.12 and my character is different than before. I'm not sure if the update has something to do with this or maybe I messed something, but if I load a previous scene that I have rendered a few months ago and try to render it without any change the renders are different. The nose,eyes, chin are different than before and it's really frustrating. Could it be the update or something else?

Thank you!

SY Rigged Water Iray 3 dForce use...render blank?!

MGMOZ — Sun, 01 Apr 2018 05:54:30 +0000

I am experimenting with 'SY Rigged Water Iray 3 dForce' & have my character & all the elements placed & simulated but, when I render or change the Viewport to 'NVIDIA Iray', I just get a blank image.

If I roll the mouse over this "blank" image, the yellow highlight picks out the individual elements that make up my image. I have to go back to another one of the Viewport options to see my image.

Suggestions, anybody?

Exporting fbx from daz

SarahSconceptart — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 15:57:06 +0000

Hello all,

So, I have a problem that's driving me insane. I've searched all over the forums for an answer but nothing works, I hope someone can help me.

I'm trying to export a simple animation fbx file into marvelous designer. Someone told me this is not possible, and that in order for things to work I should open my export into say, Blender, resave the fbx and then open it in Marvelous. I did this for ages and all of a sudden it stopped working. Whatever I try, I can't get it to work. This is the pose I'm trying to export: https://gyazo.com/2047d87b4cfd58753ba13b3b88a912a3 and this is all Marvelous gives me: https://gyazo.com/4715771aafbfe7f5cd6372768c6e38f5. (look at those eyelashes floating) It doesn't matter if I open the fbx in a different program, 3dsmax or maya all give me the same result.

These are my export settings: https://gyazo.com/5b41185390be6c422278846303f4d021

I've tried nearly everything, different export options, different settings, but I'm no expert.

Can someone here shed some light on this for me?

Thanks!

Restoring Daz Content location and other defaults

Hoofbeats — Sun, 19 Jan 2020 09:54:28 +0000

Hello everyone!

My old system broke down, so I took the oppurtunity to build a new computer (the old one was 4 years old and the motherboard failed). Since I built the computer, I took the old HDD (which was the D: on the old system) and just used my daz storage content out of there and put it in the new build. Unfortunately I could not figure out how to get daz on the new system to register files from the old storage disk. I changed most of the settings to the now E: and since it wouldn't work, I decided to restore DAZ to the C: defaults. To do this I uninstalled the program, deleted all the DAZ folders I could find, and removed Daz install manager. I cleared all my cache, restarted and everything. However, DAZ is still saying that I need to install content (after I relocated all the folders I could find to the C: ... I'm still not sure if I put the directories in the correct location). In other words, the content I am trying to install with install manager is not in the same directory as the content in my smart content pane or in daz studio itself.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Rainbow?

vonHobo — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:25:52 +0000

Does anyone know if this product comes with the rainbow pictured? Or if it is postwork.

It states that it comes with a sunbeam, but does not reference "rainbow" in the product description.

Render Throttle Iray

vonHobo — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 18:59:32 +0000

Really loving this new product called Render Throttle.

https://www.daz3d.com/render-throttle-for-iray

It has speeded up the Iray Viewport preview responsiveness, and my PC fan is no longer running constanly.

However, the first time I use it after launching DAZ Studio, I get this error message. So I have to highlight the DrawSettings pane, and then it works.

So I wonder why it behaves this way? Once the DrawSettings pane is clicked, the product then works regardless of which pane is active.

It kind of an annoyance. Not really hindering me from using Render Throttle, but the error message (see screenshot) says you have to make the DrawSettings pane part of your layout. Well, I did that, it is part of my default layout, and it still gives the error everytime you use it after opening DAZ Studio.

If anyone is having the same issue, or if you know of a solution, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate. Thanks.

Is it possible to make a deformer stamp?

D.Robinson — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 10:40:28 +0000

Wasnt sure hot to explain it other than a stamp in the title, but the idea is to make a deformer the same shape as an object and use that as the "Stamp" for a deformer.

I am thinking of something like when you lay a character on a couch for example, would it be possible to make a deformer the same rough shape as the part of the figure interacting with the couch. I understand how to use a basic deformer, but it seems very clunky when it comes to designing a custom morph for a collision for example.

Conditional grafts crashing on my iMac running High Sierra OS

Meshitup — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 18:44:16 +0000

Conditional grafts crashing on my iMac running High Sierra OS

I have set up a “conditional graft” to hide the sleeves on a dress. All works fine until I go to turn the sleeves back on again and then Daz Studio crashes.

I am using an iMac running High Sierra OS.

It works fine on my Laptop so I would assume that it will work on other computers.

Anyone else come accross this?

Personas comprando irreconocibles - Unrecognizable people buying

Español

Una pregunta sencilla. He comprado varios personajes de genesis 8 y apesar de colocar los parametros por defecto... bueno, las imagenes hablan por si sola.

Por favor, nada de tonteria como "configuracion camara o luces" Esto es un problema mucho mas grande que eso.

Ingles

A simple question I bought several characters of genesis 8 and despite placing the default parameters ... well, the images speak for themselves.

Please, no nonsense like "camera settings or lights" This is a much bigger problem than that.

Geograft showing low-resolution mesh

AviTudios — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 18:56:43 +0000

In the hopes of building a pseudo high-res-sculpt system, I exported a high res (3 levels of subdivision) version of Genesis 8, and then used it as a geograft onto the original, hiding the original. Great, got all that down.

However, when I turn on a morph on the original mesh (Body Builder and Body Size in this case), the high-res mesh starts to show a low-res version of the mesh. It appears to be following without any sort of smoothing, or reference to higher subdivision layers. (See attachment)

I think that this is a problem that must have been solved for clothes: how do people create clothes that follow high-res morphs, and don't end up showing the low-res geometry like this? Hoping one of y'all can point out to me how to fix this!

DS Beta Slows to Crawl when trying to use Fit Control for G8F

cheznous2029_28ab1adedc — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 11:51:57 +0000

I'm using DS Beta 4.11.0.383 and when I try to use the Fit Conttrol for G8F dresses the program slows to a crawl! I don't know if the Fit Control for G8M is doing this. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a fix?

Scaling and Renders

vonHobo — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 01:50:05 +0000

I was just curious about something.

I had to scale down the DAZ Dragon to 25% to fit it into a scene I was working on... It rendered fairly quickly which got me to thinking would it have rendered just as quickly at 100%?

And if you scale down an object or figure, does it effect the quality of the final image render? Do you end up with a less detailed figure?

I hope my question is not too vague. Thanks.
