EDIT: I saw that the product store page had been amended to state that you needed the old figure, so I purchased that as well. I can install that one via DIM, but it's useless without the nice textures. :(

Is there a good way to organize the things?

2019-10-17 07:38:57.562 Spring(1840, 1841) of node "Casual Closet Big Collar Crop Top" extended: rest length < collsion offset (0.0749945 < 0.10001)

I'm guessing there is some kind of conflict with this particular wardrobe option.  Is there anything I can do to fix this.

I see you can hide a product, but I worry if it is hidden, that I won't see future product updates?

Thanks!

while I can load the hd version of any figure by clicking the hd icon, Eva 8 comes in all grey. So I need to search for materials and load her maps.

As I only have this work around with Eva 8, my question is, if this is the meant workflow for it, or did I just miss anything to download or else?

If I do everything right, is there a chance that this product gets an update, so it works with a simple one-click solution like all the others?

Thanks!

I can't pose Mean Mr. Pumpkins Gown. It says it's dforce, but when i try to run a simulationit says it's not ....

I have a problem with the pose reset on a particular figure. The model is gen 8, with a lot of morphs and a loaded pose.

I use the "Edit > Figure > Zero > Zero Figure Pose" action. 

The figure resets but to a wrong zero pose. For example, the feet are close together (even touching) instead of appart.

Is there a way to truly Zero or Restore the pose the the original setting ? Is is my model doomed ?

Thanks

I really do hope this hasn't already been answered compeltely somewhere, I did look, but I did not find anything other than one where Oso gave some pointers about using low-res meshes...  I'll get to the point...

I'm trying to export a G8F or G8M figure, or any other pre-made figure, into Substance Painter to add some of my own decals to their skin, but when I do so I'm running into trouble.  When I export to an .OBJ, I can import it in but it seems like some UVs are missing and when I try to make the textures they just come out all black and it just generally fails.  When I export via the .FBX format I'm simply unable to import it into Substance Painter and the message I receive is that no 3D mesh was found.

Is it possible to export a figure into Substance, or even by way of something like ZBrush, so that I can edit either color or height informarion and re-export those maps back into DAZ so I can render there?  Am I an idiot and I'm just missing it?  I swear, I tried to figure it out, I even picked up the 3D Art Live video series with the telephone booth (excellent and inspirational, by the way!).

Thank you!!

I have been mainly been using Daz for art prints, not animation.  But I am starting to get into making short movies.. and while my setup is by no means bad.. I am realizing that I might want to seriously consider updating my graphics card and maybe my ram too.. but I haven't had much chance to look into it yet.  And the NVIDIA RTX cards are so expensive... 

Would upgrading make that huge of a difference?  

I tried re-installing DAZ again but upon opening all I got was the same.

Super urgent! Cant figure out why!

The product support video for the subject line product does not seem to address this issue:

When the arm vein morphs are loaded at 100 percent, it is apparent that the effect is much more pronounced in the left arm than the right, so much so that the left arm veins distort and essentially "explode" to the extent that they need to be roughly halved on the dial to achieve parity with the right arm. Though I understand that human vasculature is not entirely symmetrical, this appears to be a technical or QC flaw. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this same issue, and can address it.

Also, the left and right chest vein morphs are assymetric in number of sliders; one side has four, and the other five. Not sure why, though that's what's in the morph list.

Lastly, the vein color overlays transform the skin shader from Iray to AoA. Why in the world would one do that with Gen8? Can they be converted back to Iray to realistic effect? The AoA shader is a notorious nightmare.

Ideas?

I need to get the character out of the hair as an obj and then repair it.

can you help me?

So I've been using this product for quite some time now and it has been a real pleasure. But ever since the latest Daz update the masks don't work anymore and I've got no clue on how to fix it. I also bought the extreme version of the product but uninstalling that has no effect, so it's not that that's causing the issue.

I have noticed that the pictures of the masks are cut in half so the bottom or top part is gone but reinstalling the product doesn't fix it.

I'm getting a bit desperate here, because I got quite a few characters that use those shaders, and now they look weird.

When I render in iray I only get a black window. Also the camera settings don't work like they should, because the screen ratio is not changing.

I've noticed that G8 Morphs exported from Facegen Artist Pro aren't conforming to the DSON syntax properly and was wondering whether this might have performance implications for users on loading G8 figures if the morphs are present. Nothing shows up in the log and unfortunately my system is so puny it's going to be slow loading whatever, so i'm not in a position to test this against benchmarks either. But if people have been experiencing slowdown on loading the figures might this be a more specific reason than just the quantity of morphs in the library?

The specific things I've noticed are:

in the "id" filepath for asset addressing normal spaces are used, e.g.:

"id" : "/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Male/Morphs/FaceGen/Bob1.dsf",

Instead of using %20 for spaces as in the defaults, e.g:

"id" : "/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Male/Genesis8Male.dsf"

as per the specification here

Probably less important but the date/time format for the modified fields in the Facegen morphs is like this:

   "modified" : "2018.02"

rather than the ISO 8601 extended format in the defaults:

        "modified" : "2017-07-10T20:22:02Z"

as per the specification here 

This may be completely irrelevant & the format flexible enough to accomadate the variations - I'm not an expert here so was hoping someone who knows this better would be willing to comment. Thanks for your time!

I'm working on a project that shows a man and his cat. His big cat. However, the real cat that it's modelled on is a grey tabby. I have the tabby material, but I can't get it to go on the big cat. 

Is there a way to get a big cat looking like a tabby without a whole lot of reworking? It's more of a gag project, so I don't want to be sinking hours into it.

Thanks!

I usually download what I need from DAZ, no issue, but sometimes there is something on Rendocity or related I just gotta have. Problem is that all that content (When it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I'm still learning what's what.) is added in on the Content Library (right 3rd, in Hollywood) section. Add to that sometimes the names have little in common with the actual Item... After a year I am cluttered and having a real tough time Finding what I need. I know its there, I've seen it, but finding it is getting hard.

Is there any way to... I don't know the words here: Shortcut (?) a particular item or move it over to the main files list on the right where I can see/get at it directly? I've found that if I make a character or whatever and save it as a scene (the only way I've found to save people) everything will be there when I open it again, but rooting for everything is giving me fits.

Thanks for any help offered and for your time in reading. :)

1) I tried FBX format, and chose not to include animation, camera, or lights, but to include materials... this gave me an error message that several of the materials could not be embedded. Then, when I tried to import the FBX to see what happened, Daz stalled out and I had to force-quit.

2) I tried OBJ format, which didn't throw any error messages, but when I import into Daz, it is invisible. It is there, because I can see the outline when I hover over it, and I can click on it... but materials/textures are not showing. I tried some of the Surfaces sliders, but the only one that seems to make it show up is "Cutout Opacity", but that just seems to assign a random color to the geometries... not the actual surfaces/textures.

Now when I go to browse file locations, everything it tells me isn't there, is right there in the folder. The textures, templates, everything is where it should be upon browsing the folders.

I've unininstalled and reinstalled probably 15 times. I've shut down daz. Reimported Metadata. Etc. 

This is not the only item I'm having issues with, I keep having to right click uninstall and reinstall several things because even installed daz says they don't exist. However, THOSE items work fine after reinstall, these two do not. 

To note, daz is not on my C drive as my C drive is a solid state drive. It exists on my hard drive which is D. I have successfully and correctly changed ALL installation paths to D drive following the information given in a tutorial from this website. There is no option to install Daz on my C drive, as it is not large enough to handle the program and its add-ons. 

Normally i take my prop and save it as support asset --> figure /prop assets and the job is done. But i have a nightstand and for commodity i parent it a drawer as another prop and just set the z translate slider to open it.

So when i want to save it i have two separate prop but i want to save them as one.

Is it possible to do it? or do i have to combine them before saving and rig the drawer to open it.

Thanks for reply
