When I try to enable the option of dforce cloth i get "cloud not find a valid openCL device"

Does my video card not work with DFORCE or do I need to download something that belongs to the card drivers and install ?

And if so what should I download?

Thanks

All I have in the scene is G8F and a default Spot Light (with 500000 Lumen).

If I change the light geometry from Point to Rectangle, I get a *little* light, but doesn't make sense why that would have such an effect. Any ideas?

I used this https://www.daz3d.com/xtransfer--genesis-3-to-genesis-8-converter with laura for genesis 3 https://www.daz3d.com/laura-for-genesis-3-female-s.

But when it was transferring it crashed daz studio and when i opened it up it and want to load g8f standard default figure daz closes without any warning.

G8M isn't affected and loads normally

Already re-installed daz 4.12, already re-installed genesis 8 female essentials but it's still giving me the same problem.

The was one time it give me an error report, you can find it attached here or in the link below:

Is anybody able to help me out pls?

Does anyone know of a way to speed up the iray previewer? This is particularly a problem when I'm designing a character and need to change facial sliders often (as facial features often look different in iray I have to preview each feature change). It usually takes around 10-15 seconds depending on if I have nothing else showing (hiding hair etc). Maybe this is normal?

If I’m building a scene including trees, lighting, building etc, the previewer is even slower, perhaps taking 30secs or more.

These are my PC specs in case they’re relevant: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor (16 CPUs), ~3.7GHz, 16384MB RAM, 64bit, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

Thanks in advance! :)

Height map

Diffuse map

Normal map

metallic map

smoothness map

Edge map

Ambient Occlusion map

So what sections in the surfaces tab do I insert these maps? Like I mentioned above, normal goes to normal etc but I am not sure and not sure on the others like edge map etc. I read that the smoothness map in materialize is the same as roughness? And that Iray doesn't need AO maps. If someone could help me it would be much appreciated! Also is there a way to save these in daz as like shaders ( I know they arent actual shaders) or textures I can just select in the shaders tab etc? Or do I need to always individually put in the maps? I included a pic of what the material i made looks like on a cube in materialize and what it looks like in daz. Different lighting doesn't seem to change the appearance in daz.

I need help and really appreciated.

https://www.daz3d.com/mrl-dforce-long-layered-hair-for-genesis-8-female-with-colour-mixing

User expectation:  my expectation with puppeteer is that it records on a dot only the changes made whilst the layer is selected.  So for example, I take a G3 figure in a bind pose and add a dot to layer 1, pose the arms and add another dot.  Then I create a second layer, change the expression and add a dot there.  When I go back to the first layer and click either one of the dots, I don't expect the expression to change.  Yet it does.  Each dot appears to record the entire pose and all expressions.  

What am I missing?  And if that's how it works, what's the point of a layer?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Daz but this has not made a difference. 

Where can I get the G8M base data from to load? and why only  this character?

je suis un utilisateur de longue date de DazStudio,.... avec une longue liste d'achat en ligne sur le site . Je continue a trouver ce logiciel très intéressant pour mon travail d'artiste peintre.

j'ai acheté récemment un module : Skin Builder 8 for Genesis 8,

mais je n'arrive pas n'y a télécharger le manuel d'utilisateur n'y a trouver comment accéder au module de réglage dans le DazStudio.

Je n'arrive pas non plus a contacter les créateur et vendeur du module en question, Discobob et Zev0  (je ne sais même pas si c'est possible) :

https://www.daz3d.com/discobob

https://www.daz3d.com/zev0

Je sollicite donc votre aide pour ce problème.

En vous remerciant par avance

Jean Luc...

Hello,
I am a long time user of DazStudio, .... with a long online shopping list on the site. I continue to find this software very interesting for my work as an artist painter.
I recently bought a module: Skin Builder 8 for Genesis 8,
but I can't download the user manual or find how to access the adjustment module in DazStudio.
I also can't contact the creator and seller of the module in question, Discobob and Zev0 (I don't even know if it's possible):
https://www.daz3d.com/discobob
https://www.daz3d.com/zev0

I therefore ask your help for this problem.
Thanking you in advance
Jean Luc ...

One thing I know is that I want a 1080ti GPU. I know there are new 2080 cards out there, but I think the 1080 will put me in the right place on the price/performance curve. I'm also going to ask for an empty slot and sufficient power to add a second card in the future - which might well be a 2080.

I want at least a 256GB SSD and 1TB hard drive, maybe double that in both cases. 32GB RAM? Is that enough?

And now the big one - processor - I have no idea. What do people recommend?

Sorry to be so vague, but I'd welcome any input.

Have a rig with two gpu's, 2080ti and 1080ti, 32 Gb ram.

With my CPU I5 8400 (6 cores) both my gpu's was loaded around 95-100% when render iray.

When building a computer to my sisterson i gave the i5 CPU to him and put in a i3 9100f (4 cores) thinking it didn't matter to me since i use gpu render.

Now when render my gpu's are at 80-90%.
 

Does the CPU matters that much or is it something else?

BR// Daniel

Thanks in Advance

I just got a new computer.  Finally went to Windows 10.

The plan was to take the storage drive (D) from my old computer (it contains all Daz installed content) and plug it into the new computer.  I was hoping that DS would just recognize it, and my content would already be in place without needing to download it all over again.

FIrst I downloaded DIM.  Then downloaded CMS.  Then downloaded Daz Studio.  Then I went back to DIM and attempted to add a path to the old drive.  I did add a path, but no content shows up in the DIM "installed" pane

Have I done something out of order?  Is there a specific path I need to change?  Or, will I have to simply redownload all of my content?

Appreciate any suggestions!

If so, please do the following:

1. Open up DAZ Studio 4.12
2. Add Genesis 8 Female to the scene
3. Select Genesis 8 Female --> Under Parameters select Mesh Resolution --> Set Subdivision level to 1 and SubD level to 5
4. Set the render resolution to 1920x1080
5. Now click Render

Is the renderer using your GPU or CPU?

When I used to use DAZ 4.10, I was able to render Genesis 8 with Render SubD 5 on my GTX 980 4GB. As of DAZ 4.12, I can no longer render Genesis 8 using Render SubD 5.  I have to set it down to 3. Something is wrong. 

Specs:Windows 10, SSD HD, 32gb ram, i7-9700k, DAZ 4.12 64bit, Nvidia Driver 441.87, Nvidia GTX 980 4gb

When I first started using Daz, a few months ago, I had a really really old system. Like "7 years ago, 8GB memory" old. Obviously rendering took 2 hours and results were grainy.

Recently I bought a new system: i7 CPU, 32 GB Ram, 2070 Super, SSD HD etc. When I render now, the results are awesome but I must admit I'm somewhat disappointed by the rendering time. I takes the computer some 30 minutes to render a room, two character and 5-6 additional (beer can sized) props. Render size is 1920 X 1440. 

I did not mess with any setting (other than removing the CPU from the rendering process because it was parking on 100%), just sort of trying to get a feeling of what to expect. I must admit that normal operating in Daz is lightening fast now and even the iRay preview takes seconds to render, it's justr that 30 minutes renders leave me a bit... underwhelmed.

So: is 30 minutes a reasonable time for a simple (IMO) scene like I described or am I driving with the brakes on without knowing? Any low hanging fruit for me to increase speed without sacrificing quality?

Thanks!

When a render is completed upon inspection I have noticed that there are "spots" within it that resemble dust particles. Little white spots or snow-ish particles. I have the render settings set to normal now, but I have tried multiple settings to try and fix this. My question is if this is normal? Or is it a hardware issue on my end? I use an nVidia 1050 Ti for my renders.Here is the latest example I rendered last night. plus a zoomed in cut so it may be more visible. 

I'm new to the world of Daz, but I'm absolutely loving getting to know the software and the community! It's really inspiring to see some of the incredible stuff everyone here creates. 
 

I've been happily using Zbrush to tailor my genesis 8 models to create custom morphs, and now want to move on to using some of my brushes to add HD detail. Thing is, I'm not really sure what the "rules" are with Daz figures when doing this (subdividing etc) and can't find any helpful tutorials on this specific topic.

Would any helpful soul out there be willing to share their workflow for adding HD detail to G8 modes using Zbrush brushes, or point me in the right direction of a tutorial on this subject? 
 

Thanks so much in advance!

I recently tried to use it again and it has completely dissapeared from Smart Content. 

The DIM says it is installed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it and still no luck finding it in Smart Content. 

I searched All Products for "Bizzard" and nothing. Even search "Iray" and it was not listed among any of the results.

Does anyone one know where in DAZ Studio I can find this? Or if there is some problem with it?

So... how do I place the hood without having it merge/snap to the model?

Thank you!

I've been using DAZ without any issues until a few months ago.

Yesterday, I updated the software to the newest version, because I wanted to use my newest purchase ( https://www.daz3d.com/dd-risa-for-rynne-8 ) and try it out. I'll give you some info about my situation:

> I'm using some DAZ-based content (via smart content) that I simply purchased here

> I always update and install everything DIM lists for me before starting DAZ

> I'm also using lots of content from 3rd party vendors like Renderosity and others via a folder on an external drive

> My loose specs are an i7, GTX 1060 (6 GB RAM) etc. - never had issues before

So since yesterday, DAZ fails to load any G8F models. It just starts loading, then freezes, then crashes as soon as I click somewhere inside the idle window. However, G3F, objects and all other stuff load flawless. It's not just my newly bought Risa model, but also basic stuff like the Genesis 8 starter stuff or other G8 models.

After searching the forums, I've found others who had similar issues which could be overcome by correcting the content directories (respectively limiting the entries to only those you actually use). I did that, to no avail sadly.

Should I just re-install or does anyone know a solution?

My error log is like super convoluted with lots of confusing stuff.

Any help would be very appreciated.
