The path it defaults to to try to install is is below:
C:\Users\cpeac\OneDrive\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio3\content

Now my Daz Studio is set up on my D drive, not in the default files it normally creates on the C drive,  but no matter where I point the file, it comes up with the same error - I've tried recreating the file path above under the D Drive where the rest of Daz is installed and it still won't have it. It's exactly the same if I run the Win 32 exe.

Anyone got any ideas? Possibly my New Years brain just can't figure out exactly where I should be pointing it to, if its not the default folder it would normally expect to find. 

Cheers and thanks. 

Anyway. Today I bought two pose sets for the genesis 8 male. 

The first one is Faber Inc's Stallion Poses for Genesis 8 Male and Michael 8. 

The second one is Manly Poses for Genesis 8 Male and Michael 8 by Cherubit, and if it's worth noting, I don't own the Michael 8 figure. 

Some poses work fine but in both set of poses there are some that are for Gensis 8 Male, yet this popup keeps coming up when I select to use them on the current figure which is a modifed G8M.

Preset Exceeds Limits. 'The preset you are applying contains values that are outside the limits for the current item. Would you like to turn the limits off and applay the preset as it was created, or leave the limits on?' 
Now what I don't understand is that even if I leave them on clipping still happens, the same if I take them off. Is it caused because I don't own the Michael 8? 

Is there some way to fix this problem or do I need to manually pose the parts of the figure that contors or goes through other parts? 
Would love some help if at all possible. Thank you for your time beforhand, fellow Dazers! ^w^
 

what does that want from me? It appears random... I removed some days ago my old adress and entered my new, because I got a new home (and soon again... -_- I hate to change my home :/ )

I would be happy if anyone can explain me what the site want from me ^_^

Here is the log file created when you try to apply a pose to the figure:

Do I inform DAZ support, or is it something I'm doing wrong?

Today, I purchased two additional products but I cannot install them. Nothing is appearing in the DAZ Install Manager "Ready to Download" tab. It just shows 0.

I tried three times with no luck, with two separate product purchases.

Is there a technical issue today with product downloads?

meanwhile I have countless assets and it's hard to keep an overview of what I have. For my inspiration I'd love to have a printed asset list with images. In best case sorted by category and without prices.

So my question is, if there is an easy/fast way to generate automatically a printable index of the assets I have? How would you do that?

Thanks!

TIA

I'm running a GtX 1080TI and after the latest Windows 10 64 bit update I'm crashing all the time while DAZ studi stays opened. When DAZ is closed I don't crash with the latest driver installed. I am wondering if anyone out there with similar hardware and OS is experiencing crashing and if not, what is the driver version you're using, the crashing is making me go batty. Up until a week ago I was using nvidia driver version 419.67 with no troubles. Then the update happened and I ended up seeing a couple of crashes. I moved over to the latest driver 441.66 and now it's crashing if I let DAZ stay open for a little bit with no activity going on with Iray in viewport engaged.

Alternatively, is anyone using the public development version of DAZ and finding calm cool stability with 1080TI after the latest windows update?

It doesn't work. Care to explain?

To just see how things look I've been doing Active Viewport size renders, but even those can take a while.

Is there any way to do a low-res quick render of the Active Viewport? This would help me a lot.

This can be helpful when you want to look closer at something, but I find mostly it gets in the way when your trying to look through content. It even overlaps the main viewport.

I looked through Preferences and could not find a way to turn this off. I don't think they are tooltips, but maybe they are?

I don't want to disable all tooltips, just these annoying pop up boxes.

Is there any way to do that?

i bought myself a nvidia RTX 2070 graphics card (CUDA cores 2304, 8GB GDDR 6, memory connection256-bit, clock frequency boost: 1860 MHz, memory clock 14.4 Gbps): Unfortunately Daz seems to hardly use it for rendering. I only selected the graphics card in the render settings, not cpu and graphics card. The image has been rendering for over 9 hours and the GPU usage is 0 to 5%. The image is very high resolution, but would have to render faster if the graphics card was fully used. 

My CPU is a small bottleneck (Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50GHz, 32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz), but that alone can't be the problem, because in games the GPU is used to 99% capacity.

Why is the GPU not used to 100%? Is there a guide for optimal settings of a RTX of the graphics card?

"It seems that, for the figures you have selected, some of the surfaces are not Iray Uber surfaces.  Script cannot be executed.  Please make sure that all the skin, lips and nail surfaces have uber Iray as a shader.  Please apply Iray uber shader base on all skins, lips, nail surfaces or preferentially load the iray material provided with this figure."

So I am still really knew to this as I haven't used daz in long time.  It took me six hours to get to the pictures I have included and most of it was trial and error.  I tried loading the colour I wanted from the fantasy skins and still got the same message when I tried to run the script to reduce the glossyness.  How do I check if what I am using is an iray uber surfaces?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

David

Thank you kindly for any and all advice on this!

When a wardrobe item has a lot of parts, the dialog box has to be answered for each item, which can take time.

Is there any way to have this answered by default so I don't have to do it manually?? 

It seems to me if you are adding a G3 wardrobe, then DAZ Studio should know already that the item was designed for G3.

Just a thought and wishlist item. Would be so awesome!

I created a Genesis 8 Woman Figure, and exported my figure with setting Daz Units : 1 unit = 1 cm and made the scale 1%. Then I imported this figure into Blender, where I unchecked the 'object' and 'group' in the import settings. Then I sculpted the character and exported the sculpted character. Next I opened Daz, selected the Genesis 8 woman figure and then clicked Morph Loader Pro, changed the units to Daz 1 unit = 1 cm, then changed the scale to 10000% (since I first changed the scale 1/100 less I multiplied 100% with 100). But it says Geometry did not match, failed to create morph. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I was trying to make a Genesis 8 figure a kid at around age 7, 1.20 meters height.

I tried different techniques, from scaling down the body in blender and importing it as a morph to using the genesis 8 body morphs from DAZ originals.

Nothing seems to work.

It seems crazy to me that we can make the head of a kid in a few seconds but we can't make a body.

Can anyone help me out, if they managed to do it (without the Growing up Bundle) and tell me which sliders they used.

This is my result with the morphs.

Just started in on this.  Looked around but can not find so posting it.     I bring in the Character to max as FBX with bones as is or with helpers,  both come in with higly complex rigs,  bones on top of bones lots of stuff to deal with,  I want to take it to motion builder and apply mocap.  but need a fairly standarized rig for my skill level.

There seems to be two sets of skeletons coming in..   Do I used Genenis 1 or Genesis 2?  or What is the best way to deal with this my rigging skills are survival / biped level.    Is there a simplier system that Daz 3d can produce? or what do do,  I  dont want to refit biped and re-skin kind of defeats the goal of having nice pro stuf out of the box.

Thanks R.

I figured maybe its time to clean things a bit so:

1) I uninstalled all Genesis 8 content, characters, hair, clothes, props, textures and anything with the number 8 in it just in case.

2) I did this via DIM then re-installed my Genesis 8 content and loaded Victoria 8 to a blank scene.

Same error?

3) Cleared the log file and loaded Victoria 8 into the blank scene with the error again and opened the log file.

4) I picked one of the many warning entries that claimed the asset was not there.

5) I opened the target folder referenced by thet log file and the asset is there.

Q: Daz Studio seems to be coming up with errors for missing content that is actualy there?

It used to work fine this version with this content, I have also noticed many other people running into the same or similar issues as well.

The content is loading but these fake errors are making load times unworkable.
