Here is my first Question.

I bought the product Caitlyn hair for G3 and G8 Female.

How can I switch on the JMC function so that the hair automatically adapts to the head movement?

2. If I want to insert any Genesis 8 figure into my picture, the picture suddenly darkens. Can you somehow switch this off?

Does anyone know how to get around this? I assume I can rename them but haven't been able to make it stick. If this is the solution please elaborate on how to do it.

I've raised an official support ticket about this a few times before but I have to chase them for 3 months before they even start to pretend that they don't understand what I'm talking about.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I've encountered this problem multiple times now and would like to understand why this happens and if there's a way to prevent this.
So I have this scene rendering and it's rendered like 109 iterations. Then suddenly it starts over and begins again with iteration 1. When I cancel now it really looks like it just started rendering. It really is completely starting over the complete rendering.
Sometimes this happens multiple times in the same rendering process, just like in this last render where the screenshots come from.
I noticed it's more likely to happen when I'm opening or using another software like chrome browser while rendering.
Is this only because of my crappy hardware (GTX 770) and I'm due for an upgrade, or why does this happen and can I prevent it, besides not touching my PC at all while rendering?!^^

Thx, I appreciate your answers :)
cheers

I played around with the glute controller and wanted to reset them via right click (lucky there is a included script which I found to do it...)

The red+blue arrow marked options do both restore the selected figure... so it jumps away to the Zero point...

Do I miss something or is it just a missing feature, which is the reason, yhw the creators have to create scripts to zero it?

When I add the bowtie (from a Genesis 8 wardrobe item) to the scene it is completely invisible. 

I wonder what I'm doing wrong?

Can you add clothes to the scene without loading them onto a figure?

I'm working on a project that has a number of different kinds of uniforms, and I am having problems anchoring decals or ornamental props (pins, badges, etc.) to a figure so that they stay positioned from one pose to the next. I am parenting the decal or prop to the geometry area that the object is adjacent to and should presumably inherit it's positional and rotational data, but they are sliding all over the place. Anything I parent to the hands seems to inherit just fine, but the pieces like decals or badges and pins and so forth end up all over the place when I repose the figure.

Any thoughts or hints or clues or outright solutions appreciated!

Which version of Titan RTX drivers work without any problems for the latest non-beta version of Daz? I want to be able to specify the exact drivers that should be installed on the build. Not sure if this is 100% the way to go vs a Z390 system, but the Z390s can only go up to 64GB RAM, and if I install an additional 2080ti with the Titan later on down the road, not sure if 64Gb RAM would be enough.

Also, it is possible to completely install Daz(i.e. smart content from Daz3d & renderosity content) on the separate mechanical HD, correct?

First of all - when I try to install 64bit 4.11 studio on win 7 64bit - its go almost to end but not finished. I wait more than 30 mins and nothing.
Second - when I go to links in your site - there are dead, see attach!

Woodland Dweller for Genesis 8 Female(s)
dForce Butterfly Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s)
and
Urbane Poses for Genesis 8 Male(s)

The symptoms are...

• Whether I access the products via Smart Content or Content Library, and whether they are installed via Installation Manager, from withing DAZ Studio's Install tab, or manually copying the files from unzipping the file downloaded from daz3d.com, the indivual files don't dispay the thumb nails,
• and when double-clicked, they don't install and give an error directing me to the error log. 
• Within the error log the error gives the file name and reads, "Syntax error - expected '{' or '['"".

Things I've attempted to resolve this are...

• within DAZ Studio I right-clicked the product in Smart Content and told it to uninstall and updated the meta data afterwards so it shows with the grayed out icon and the little (v) circle in the upper right, and then re-installed.
• within Install Manager I went to the installed products and uninstalled, and then went to the install tab and installed them again
• manually I've gone to the actual folders and deleted them, and then reinstalled the files manually from the product .zip files
• I deleted all three (in the above order), and then attempted to re-install from the Smart Content tab
• I deleted all three (in the above order), and then attempted to re-install from Install Manager
• Finally, I delted all three and manually reinstalled.

I'm not sure what else to try.  My own experience with script writing is there's a missing brace or bracket in one of the files which says to me the downloaded files from DAZ are either truncated or contain the error.

I own thousands of DAZ products as well as many from Renderosity and other sources, and these are the only three giving me grief right now.  I did have a similar problem with a product from another vender a few months ago, and the vendor fixed the file, I re-installed it after their fix, and the problem was gone.  So, I'd be curious to know if others who own the above products have issues too, and if they did, how they resolved them.

I'm open to suggestions here..

AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics

but yet Daz3D Only renders on my CPU, any way so i can render on my Integrated Graphics?

I have a problem where if I try to render just about anything either DS crashes and vanishes from the screen without warning or even a goodbye kiss, which I find rather rude, or it gives me access violation errors.

My PC is as follows:
Processor:  AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, quad core
RAM:  8gb DDR3
Graphic card:  NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 TI with 4gb VRAM

I suspect the problem is running out of RAM.  I have increased my virtual RAM allowance using all four drives but my C drive is small at only 100gb SSD.

If anyone has any suggestions that don't include me spending money I'd be very grateful.  I used to use DS on a much weaker PC so am surprised it doesn't want to work now.

Cheers,
Baz

Hoping someone can help with Fit Control G8F crashing problem. Love this product when it works!! I've been using G3F and her Fit Control (It works Fine) as a go between but not nearly as good as the real thing.

It happens immediately after the Pop up saying they're appied is closed by me. Numerous re-installs and this always happens after I install other products.

I've taken "My Library" out of the equation by pointing Daz at an empty "My Library". It still happens. Looks like a conflict between something from the Daz Store and Fit Control. 

The clean "Log File" is attached. Hope you can Help!!

Thanks,

Paul

I canceld the render already and increased the size, but it doesnt changes in the render, what is wrong? in the Viewport does it work. What do I have to change to change it also in render?

Edit: i finally got it with tiles set to 1. in the viewport was this extreme big... I wish I could understand it :/

It's just a few things, First - i'm wondering since all my files for what i'm wanting are individual files, if there's a way to export the model and all it has with it's individual files? OR at the most - just the models clothing, items/props (glasses are in 2 parts frames and the glass portion itself, while the headpieces are two individual files too) and hair only?

And Second - Could i use those exported files within daz when re-importing for either genesis 3 or genesis 8 use aside from just entirely remaking the items and/or figure in some other way?

Or is there a way to specifically export the items for daz use and/or model with individual items in one go when exporting? And then from there be able to apply them to daz genesis 3 or 8?

Or are there some other involved things i need to do first? Which of course i don't mind doing i love working on different things when i've had time in the past and i've got a broken left wrist (ambidextrious, so i'm good to use my right hand until my left heals up lol) So i got tons of time to work on things in general now.. i also have screenshots to show what i'm previously going on about.

I know daz has an option to export things as/for daz files but when it comes to specific settings i'm not really sure if there's anything with the file being an fbx import (which seemed to load fine into daz as you can kind of tell) that i need to check or mess with on specific settings first before i export to reinport for daz or anything like that.

I have gotten some downloads for official tutorials/classes for various softwares i own but sadly it's taking awhile as they're relatively large files and sometimes my internet speed can be MEH even though it's unlimited due to an outside issue connection that happens sometimes that my isp still has yet to better more permanently fix lol..but i digress, any assistance with my small project of sorts here is greatly apprciated.  

I have one of Arryn's dForce dresses, and Linday's dForce side layered messy hair. Both work independently, but if I have the two in the model at the same time, the dForce simulation goes for 11 seconds and then the Nvidia driver crashes.  I don't think it's a memory issue, have a 16Gb Ram machine with a 6Gb GTX1060 and the latest stable driver. The scene is empty except for a G8F character, hair and the dress. No fibremesh body hair or anything else.

I have tried running the dress simulation, then setting the dress as a static surface, adding the hair, and trying to simulate that. Result: the driver crashes.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards,

Richard.

Load your Source Figure into the Scene. (This will be our donor for the rig).

1. Load your Target Figure into the Scene. Make sure both figures are in their Zero states.
2. Go to Edit -> Figure -> Transfer Utility.
3. In it, select your Source and Target figures.
4. In advanced options, de-select "Fit to Source Figure".
5. You can delete the Source Figure from the scene now.
6. The Target should now have the Rig of the Source figure and its Groups, surface, weight maps, etc.

However, when exporting the obj for sculpting in either mudbox or ZBrush the UV's export all stacked into the first tile.  G3 & G8 export with each map on a different tile. 

Does anyone know of an export script or any product with an export script that will spread the UV maps over different tiles?

I bought and hooked up a 3DConnexion Mouse and when i loaded Daz it gave me a pop up saying it was disabling orbit view due to the 3D mouse.  The 3D mouse worked fine but now it has disabled the View Orbit control with the standard mouse.  I cant even click on the little orbit view button and get it to work.  Anyone know how to revert back to standard controls?  I've disabled the 3D Connexions plug in and also Reset my preferences to default but still not working.

Questions about Wolfie and Sly Fox for Genesis 8 Male:

The geografted bodyparts: Can I use Some of them rather than all of them?

The  full body set of dForce Dynamic Fur to be used with or without the geograft parts: First, the geograft parts -- Again, can I use some of this instead of all of this? Can I choose which body parts to which to apply the fur? Can I use ears, for example, and omit the face and head? Do I have to use the head at all? Can I use a human head and apply the ears and fur on the ears?

Regarding the dForce Dynamic Fur and the dForce Dynamic Pants: do I have to use the dForce options? Will the fur and the pants apply and look all right without using the dForce options? Do you have any poses ready for the Fur and the Pants?

It looks really good. I'm sure it is a very fine product, but I'm hesitating because I  have the above questions.  The dForce experience is very slow on my computer, so if this product is really dependent on it, then I wouldn't buy it. I hate to buy a product and then return it. So, if I get answers to my questions, I can avoid that. I always feel that I'm insulting the creator of a product if I return that product. But, if the answers are that the product can be used without dForce, then I will buy the product.

I have a problem.

oneday , I can't load iray textures to a coat belongs to a product.

• However, the files I saved before can be read normally, and it also applies this iray textures.
• the pants belongs to the same product is OK, it can apply Iray and 3Delight textures.
• the coat can apply 3Delight textures , no problem . but can't apply Iray textures.

I thought about what I had done recently that might affect it.

I have just used [ morph loader pro ] to load a obj morph fixed by Marvelous Designer, but only for pants ! never touched the coat !

I tried to run the product on other computers, but I had the same problem.

I tried using a backup product and had the same problem .

I have no idea about this ....

I import fluid animation from a blender. I did not find a simple way. I import every frame in the obj format. A lot of items are imported.

All objects are numbered in accordance with the frame on which they should be visible.

I found a great plugin that shows / hides objects in animation. With this plugin, I make the subject visible in the right frame. I do it manually.

How to write a script that would do this automatically?

So that the object with the name "untitled_000005" was visible only in frame 5.
