I reinstalled DAZ due to some PC issues and Dforce now crashes instantly.

It dosnt start the process at all and just freezes and I have to force shut down.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I put a bunch of props in a group hierarchy (2 levels) and did some simple animation (just translation along one axis) with the groups. Now that I have the rest of the scene ready and started rendering the animation, I noticed that the entire parent group just disappeared between the keyframes. And so I went on to inspect the scene and discovered that the parent as well as the child groups have their translation, rotate and scale values set to "nan" in all interpolated frames (and they also disappear in the viewport). The keyframes look fine and the groups are all where they are supposed to be in them. I have no idea how this is even possible or how to reproduce this issue, but that's the way the (persisted) scene currently is.

My only idea on how to fix this is to create new groups, move the objects there, apply the same translation values I had and hope this does not happen again.

Just posting this here because I am curious whether anyone else has stumbled upon this and whether there's an easier fix for this issue.

Loading a new UV set didn't import the new material. My guess is that the menu command update base geometry might do the trick, but I can't get it to work. Unfortunately, this tip https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/60689/can-t-get-update-base-geometry-working didn't help since the hair prop only has base resolution. My hope is that I'm just using the wrong settings when exporting the hair to OBJ. Because when I export it and try to import that very file right back in with update base geometry it still says The loaded gemetry does not match the geometry it is updating. Vertex and facet count must be the same.

Or is there a way of adding a new material in the surface tab and assign parts of the geometry to that new material within DAZ Studio?

I attached some test renders, so maybe you can help me.

It's the alien planet blue, moon 16k, sun and the last is the eart setting

Thank you!

So here's the problem: I created my first dress for G8F, imported it as an .obj to DS, used Transfer Utility to fit it and enable auto-follow but there is a slight hiccup.

Zero pose screenshot - looks OK(as far as I can tell, if you see problems, please tell me, yeah, there are no textures and no postwork yet, I was just learning how to make auto-fit and auto-follow work)

Moving shoulders forward screenshot - the stomach part of the dress starts to look weird. It doesn't move when IRL it should. 

What are the possible ways to fix it and make it look more natural? Is it possible to tell auto-follow to move parts of the model when other parts move?

Thanks!

I have a huge collection of Genesis 8 poses and many Genesis 3 poses. I'd like to purchase the Street Rat. But I don't want to buy a slew of Genesis poses just for this one character. 

Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

Is that possible to do?

I have adjusted the shape dials between G8 characters often, but I have never tried using the dials for G3 or earlier on a G8 figure, and don't know if that's possible.

So I thought I would ask before purchasing the Street Rat.

Today I updated to win10 from win8 (yeah I'm late) just to find out that the daz forum doesn't work anymore there. While win8 works fine. The issue seems to be that the main page of the forum doesn't work with edge. While it works with ie11.

The easy workaround is to rearch for daz forum in google. It will show you both the link to the main page and the links to the sub-forums. There you can access the sub-forums. So you don't need the main page that doesn't work.

I'm not going to open a ticket on this, since I searched the forum and I see that others already did it but daz seems not interested to fix it. Also the easy workaround I propose is not mentioned in that discussion. They simply reverted to use another browser.

Is there anybody out there who is rendering iray in Daz3D 4.12 using a Gigabyte RTX2070 WIndforce card ?

If so, are you having any problems with it dropping to CPU mode all the time ?

After waiting a month for a ticket repsonse I was eventually told that it's a driver issue with more recent nvidia drivers, but they can't tell me what version of driver WILL work. At the moment I have the feeling that they haven't a clue about the cause and are dumping me on nvidia's help staff instead.

If you are rendering with no isses could you please tell me what driver version you are using please. I really need to get the bottom of this while my card is still under warranty incase it's actually faulty

for some reason, when I try to render in a 3D room, it kills my Software (and yesterday also my PC....!)

I just used a little area of the render, because I wanted to check how the Top is looking (because its for G3F and I used it on G3M... dont want a boobies touch^^).

But for some reason my System cant handle it...

I made a test render without the room that worked (yai!...) can the room be a problem? its my first time with a full room, normally I use just an image, also because I thought its faster^^....(and it is indeed)

I changed the iray settings from CPU+Graphic Card to graphic Card only. My Card did cost over 200$ and can run the most games in High/Ultra so.... I am confused ;(

Has anyone found a solution or workaround?

My system should be fast enough (new in 2019):

Win 10, i7 8700K, 3.7GHz, 32GM DDR4 RAM, Dual GeForce 1080 ti 11 GB (driver 441.66). DS has access to the CPU and both GPUs for rendering.

last week i wanted to use my software to work on project and i was error about postgrey sql cm   well i uninstall post grey and daz studio   with daz download manager , but when i want to reinstall the software tell me dazz ans postgrey are allready install

i relly need help to clear my computer and reinstall daz .

i tried to erase all regedit enter about daz / all appdata file i found /

but allway say my software allready install

i use win10 pro 64 bit

there is a official way to uninstall daz 3d ?

i cant work on any project ;

thx

When I export the scene from Daz with the all items selected, I get one Obj. (good) When I import the Obj into Blender, I get 6 items in the scene window, which would ususally be a good thing.  For the simulation, I want one wire mesh to work with.  How do I export a Daz scene to a single mesh object?

I'm using Scene Only settings for the lighting, but this seems to disable the ground shadows. "Draw ground shadows" is on, and ground shadow intensity is set to 1.0, but no ground shadows are rendered.
If I add a floor plane, I get the shadows, but then I can't use the transparent .png for compositing the ground shadows.

If I use Dome and Scene settings, I get the ground shadows, but it screws up my scene lighting.

Is there another setting I'm missing?

I need to export the character to .obj and then re-import it into daz. Before that, I used this method quite often. Today again there is a need to do something similar, but instead of the correct import, the character has inverted normals and is in a different position. The export/import settings have not changed since the last successful import.

In addition, there were problems with using obj as a morph when working with morph loader pro.

is it possible to save multiple obj's as props in one go? There's 110 of them and the thought have having to save them all individually is really daunting. I tried saving the null that some were parented to but, that just saves the empty null. 

Thanks. 

I need help regarding change my content library path. I have chaged content library path to G drive and installed some stuff like some characters, clothes ,hair and some environment there but there was some problem in my system so I had to format my c drive. My all stuff like characters ,clothes ,hair and installed environment is still in G drive. But after formated c drive and installing windows agin and then daz studio in my c drive, I tried to give my old content library file path to content directory, Old stuff is not showing and did not retrived. How can I retrive my old stuff from G drive? Please help me.

Renders hang even with one G8 figure and a few clothing items (iray). How can I solve this? 

thank you!
