In my last one that just happened, it looks like it was the hair on one figure that got blocked. Obviously everything is where it should be, since it was just before the DS crash. Fortunately I can re-load the hair onto the figure, but I can see how other similar problems can trash a scene you spent hours, or days, perfecting.

What causes this out of the blue?

I got a face morph for M4 (called “Crow”) and it went into the following path:

Runtime/Libraries/Face/Faces of M4/Crow.fc2

I have no idea how to find, access, and apply this morph to an M4 character.

I have recently purchased the T. Rex Berserker model as well as several other dinosaur models by Herschell Hoffmeyer. I have been playing with them in DazStudio 4.12.0.86 using the default lighting and the Iray render engine. All of the models are using the supplied Iray materials and all render beautifully except for the T.Rex Berserker which renders completely white. I have tried reapplying the materails with the same results and I have looked at the surface settings but can't figure out why this is happening. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on with the renders?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have downloadeed Daz3D 64 Bit Pro on my mac, but, I cannot find Face Transfer:

• It's not found in installation manager.
• It's not found in Window -> Panes -> (only Figure Setup)
• It's not found in Help -> About Installed Plugins

I often load something and attempt to move it only to realise that I have something else selected that I most certainly didn't want to move. I'm guessing that my assumption was right but just in case - does anyone know of a way to auto-select?

Building scenes with interacting characters and/or props it's natural to have them grouped, even more it makes sense to have a prop shaped to fit the according pose, not to speak with interacting characters. But neither props parented to a character notr props and characters in a group can be saved together. Puppeteer not being able to process grouped/hierarchical poses which are available in DAZ seems so illogical that i can't believe it shouldn't be possible.

Is there a deeper meaning behind it, or, preferrably, a way  round?

You don't have to read this part -- So I've got my shiny new PCIE 4.0 build mostly completed (it never really ends does it but now I can hang out with the cool nvme m.2 4.0 kids) and I had some issues with the newest Win10 forcing online account creation, pin, and phone number.  Perhaps they should slow down a bit and sober up over there because,

um,

no.  Riding a high on that new contract

Once I fixed that I'm staring at an unpatched OS on metal as superuser that is very much hardwired to an overpriced toy consumer wireless router & I start to get that anxiety I never would have gotten had I never installed a Linux distro when I was young, smart, handsome, witty, and charming - back when Ma would keep turning the crank so Pa could boot to a command line.  Expeditiously I go to work attempting to make an effort at locking down & removing what I can.  An exercise in futility I know but defense is a habit.  I know the Epic game launcher is going to want elevated privilages so that's going on the Admin account sadly.  After I spent all that money on ga... um oops, nevermind.  I just purchased a few things including Manfriday's Render Queue and I'm logged into a 'guest' account staring at DAZ3DIM_1.2.0.52_Win64.exe (SHA-256 1b7ba94d130cc7ec4a3ad902aab216def6d2b0df41c2181c8127cb7ff564445c) wondering if I should install here or make life easier but my non-financial, non-medical data on this PC a little less secure and install on the Administrator account seeing as how I'm going to have to connect that account to the WAN for Epic anyways. So I thought I'd ask how many Windows users here run Daz Studio in Windows from the 'Administrator' account.  I know Daz Studio works fine from an account without elevated privilages (Guest account) I just don't know if any 3rd party apps are going to give me any grief.  If you've read this far I'd also like to hear if you'd like to see the 'Administrator' account go away in Microsoft Windows as it has on so many other operating systems.  If that default account vanishes so does this delema.

thanks

So, I went to look up a tutorial package that I remembered from when I started in DAZ called "Ready to Render - Dragon Slayer" in order to find a particular setting, The Alchemy Chasm https://www.daz3d.com/the-alchemy-chasm so I could then do a similar scene where I was going to have Cthulhu rising out of the abyss to go after a heroine.

Sounds cool, right? ;)

Unfortunately, when I went to look it up in my Product Library, it wasn't there. It was completely missing. Something that I know that I rendered several times when I was first starting out to get a feel for the program, was just GONE from my stuff! I looked it up trying all kinds of names, it just wasn't there. I tried google search, DAZ's search, nothing. The Alchemy Chasm is still around, but the Ready to Render - Dragon Slayer has been taken down, and with it the record of my having "purchased" The Alchemy Chasm, and the other pieces that came with that tutorial.

I had to get a friend of mine to confirm where tutorials were in my library, and help me find it so that I could find the right one, so that I could even write up this report, and his is doing the same thing. So yes, this is something that is happening on multiple systems in multiple states.

The problem with this is that IF I were to have a crash, and my content were to get deleted somehow, then I would no longer have access to something that I previously had, and through no fault of my own should still have access to, but suddenly wouldn't have access to, because of some kind of error.

I figured you all should know about it. (Sorry if I'm rambling. :D )

Thank you for your time. Lots of hugs.

I currently have two GPU's in my comp, one is AMD R9 290, other is RTX 2070 super. The AMD card is needed because I have an old monitor (don't ask, lol.. I've already looked into it, adapters will NOT work with this monitor). I , may even continue to keep the AMD card in there for now (even after monitor upgrade) as I've read something in the Daz log that states I can speed up my renders if I turn off the video output on the Nvidia card. 

That's the basic information to explain why I have the current issue. 

The issue itself is that with both cards in (I've tried the cards in either slots and same result), Daz refuses to load the Nvidia card as the main card. It does recognize the Nvidia card and I'm able to select it in the device options, but it won't actually use the card in rendering unless I disable the AMD card before loading the program (I can re-enable it after the program is open). I've included a copy of the relevant portion of log file that ran on start. One half of it is with both cards enabled, other half is with the AMD card disabled. 

I have half solved the problem by just disabling the AMD card before loading Daz, but I'm hoping someone here might be able to tell me how I can get Daz to just use the Nvidia card without doing this. 

This is really frustrating. It is like there is a setting somewhere to disable all lights that is selected but I cannot find anything like this. I have been using this for a couple of years now and have not had this problem

I tried re-installing to no avail.

Any ideas?

If possible can someone give detailed instructions to uninstall and re-install if you think that would help.

Thank you.

Previously, my gigantic scenes would fit on my measly 4GB gtx 970 because of the selection planes. After the update to DS 4.12 my scenes no longer fit on my card and always drop to CPU.

In an effort to find out why, I ran some tests. The first log entry is with the slection planes, the 2nd is the selection planes hidden and the 3rd is the selection planes deleted. This is after geometry is loaded and it's trying to load textures. You notice the numbers never change, which tells me the selection plane is no longer removing geometry and textures but just simply not rendering them so they are still all load to the gpu :(

I'm using Daz Studio 4.12

Usually I render in 4K or something like 8megapixel. And as long as my scene fits within my graphic card ram everything is fine.
Now I have to rerender some of them for a merch shop in a ridiculously high resolution. With some scenes it renders but with others it doesn't.

Is there some hardware i can upgrade?

This must be 3Delight because that's the only way to get it to render.

Is there any way I can convert the scene to Iray and save it as a .duf file when I need to use it in my Iray scenes?

Any help would be appreciated.

- Figure Metrics for Daz Studio 4.6+
- Figure Metrics for Daz Studio 4.6+ Content
- Measure Metrics for Daz Studio 4.12+ (Win 64 bit)

Do the first two need to be installed?  

As to the third one it sounds like software rather than content as it has "Win 64 bit" after the title so does this need to be installed to the <Programme Files> folder?

Iray [WARNING] - MATCNV:RENDER ::   1.0   MATCNV rend warn : At 'DS_Charlene Hair Genesis 3 Female__Side2_30ba_20923.volume.absorption_coefficient': unsupported function call: 'operator/(color,float)'

Is there a list of iray warning problems and how to fix them? And specifically here, do I just change the hair to one that works or is there something I can do to fix this?

As the title says I'm thinking on parting ways with my old trusty 1060 6Gb on Black friday. I Would like
any input you guys may have on wich of these would be better: a 2060 Super or a regular 2070.
Sadly 2080s are way above my price range.

I also been using EVGA cards since the 9500, so any tips on brands that I should run away from?

My Specs:

Ryzen 5 2600
MSI B450 Tomahawk

I can start DS and load a scene, but i can't render. There seems be a similar problem as in the thread "Recent problem: Iray not using GPU".

When I hit the render button the processor runs up to 100%. That's normal. But then it stays at 100% even when the render process has begun. That's not normal.
It renders for about 20 seconds and then the computer freezes and I have to shut it down manually.

I have tried to use the nvidia driver Richard Haseltine suggests in the above mentioned thread. I have also tried the latest drivers and a few others. No difference.

So either there is something wrong with my graphics card (or its drivers), Daz Studio or something beyond my understanding.

Help really wanted!

Computer specs are:
Windows7 (64-bit)
Titan X graphics card
64 GB RAM
Intel i7
