I've tried everything I can and looked all over the files for some kind of instruction.

Every time I try to use the thing it just errors out with no further troubleshooting help. Should I just ask for a refund and stick to autofit or am I missing something here? 

The fix is to go to HeadShop in your Applications, right click it, and click "Show Package Contents." Then Navigate to Contents > Resources > Models > Model > Genesis 2. If you're having a problem with the male model, click on the "Male" folder. If you're having a problem with the female model, click on the "Female" model. Copy the file "headRotater_vectors.txt" and then navigate back to the Gen 3 or Gen 8 folder (whichever you're using). Go into the same gender folder there, find the file within titled "headRotater_vectors.txt" and rename it something, then paste in the "headRotater_vectors.txt" that you copied earlier. Now it should work fine!

Is there any way to convert MAT files to DUF?

In the same vein, I wonder whats the difference between Align and snap ; again with the rigging tool.

So, my current Daz setup is running 4.10 on an offline computer.  I have no intentions of connecting that computer to the internet ever, thanks to a nasty bout with a virus or something on the previous system almost a year ago.  I fugure if the new system is physically separated from the internet, that'll lower the odds of having issues.  Probably being overly paranoid, but I HATE dealing with such issues on computers that have all of the art files and such that I've spent years putting together.

However, I am planning on building an interim system soon, but the parts won't be available until November at the earliest (AMD Ryzen 3950X).  While I'm waiting, I'm thinking of downloading Studio 4.12 onto an external hard drive, and setting up the folders, etc. so that Daz will be operating off of said drive henceforth.

My current interim Daz system will be retired to HTPC duties once the 3950X build is complete, and the 3950X build will be assigned to another task once the large core count 7nm Threadrippers drop.

My question is, can I copy the contents of the folders from my C: partition for Daz as far as 'My Daz 3D Library' and the DIM folders, and such from my existing 4.10 install, and simply dump those into the new My Daz 3D Library, etc. folders once I finish installing Studio 4.12?  This way I won't have to download 7500+ items again, not to mention all of the free stuff sitting in My Library as well?  This seems like it should work, but I've never tried this before.

I'm not 100% sure I still have the zips for all of the packages I downloaded from Daz since picking up 4.9 a couple of years back.

Also, will I need to tweak any of the paths on the 4.12 install to accomodate the older files?  I suspect that I may need to point the texture paths of a few of my saved .duf files for the new install that use modified/self created texutes, but that's a separate issue that I'll deal with as such things occur.

BTW, I'd be connecting via this laptop I'm typing on, that I use to manually download packages onto a USB stick currently.  It has 4.9 installed, but the hard drive is essentially full and it's an older laptop with a 13.1" screen, so I mainly use the 4.9 install to double check freebies and such that I make, to make sure that I've included all of the relevant texture files and such and that everything will work ok for others if I share something.  I haven't installed new packages on this laptop for a couple of years now, with an exception or two.  Not really relevant except that I'd be using this laptop to set up the 4.12 install on the external drive.

I may eventually transfer said external drive to my new rendering build, but that's a few months off depending on how quickly the 32+ core 7nm Threadrippers show up.  It looks like the 7nm Threadripper November launch slide only mentions 24 cores at the moment....

I'd be temporarily using the 3950X build with the external drive for Studio 4.12, until the dedicated render build happens.

Just looking for guidance on this.  Any thoughts on this are most appreciated.

I am posting in relation to the recent release Huo for Genesis 8 Female. I am wondering where I can find the Street Fighter style outfit she is wearing in the main promotional image? I am unable to find that in the store. If anyone can direct me to it I'd be greatly appreciative!

I've got this item - Saul hair, https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-saul-hair-for-genesis-8 but there seems to be something wrong with it. because it loads just as a gray box. And upon rendering it does not show.
I suspected first that something had gone wrong upon installation, but that can't be it because I re-downloaded it and redid the installation. I've closed and re-opened DAZ, re-started the computer and so on but nothing helps. The poor man still has a box upon his head.
What is amiss here?

When saving an outfit set as wearables - do i need to save each individual item?

Anyone have any fixes?

Windows 10, GTX 1060 6G Studio 4.12

Maybe a laptop make model? Or is there a community recognized option that works best?i

does anyone know where I can get it?

I've set up a room using the Tesla Hotel Room that has a row of track lights around the edge of the ceiling.

I'd like to be able to somehow "link" the lights together so that I can turn on or off the illumination for the whole row at once instead of having to do each one individually.

Any pointers to what I should be attempting to do for this?

Thank you.

I was gone for a long time... I bought a mess of stuff for Poser in 2003 & 2004, then work ate my life and I didn't really have time to do anything in 3D (but I'd still buy stuff every few years, thinking "If I spend money on it, I'll have to make time for it, right?") then in... 2018, I finally start getting enough time that I can at least open DS and start learning it, instead of Poser, and everything is Iray, Iray, Iray, so I don't really pay much attention to 3Delight... But now I'm wondering if maybe I should? 

It seems I see a lot of posts about people wanting more 3Delight textures & support, but also a lot of posts about how PAs will tell you there just aren't enough sales to justify putting the work in, so I'm not sure I should spend time on it at all, but then... Should I?

I mean, when I Google 3Delight it doesn't seem like it's a dead proposition... Other threads I've scanned while trying to find answers on this so I didn't have to ask a dumb question and look like a doofus say it's more the way DS handles 3Delight... So, is that an argument in favor of learning it, if you think there's any chance you'll be exporting and rendering in something else?

I've fried my brain trying to find answers without bugging anyone. I've accepted defeat. I'm asking... Sorry. :)

Hi, can someone tell me why this happen? I can't load anything :(

(They're both F.B.I. agents and, in two previous renders I made, the woman - Erica, was kidnapped by terrorists but managed to break free and get ahold of a gun; which she used to attempt to fight her way out.  Meanwhile, the man - Jared, came across her fallen shoes outside and overheard the commotion.  So in this render, Jared is coming to Erica's rescue, after she was knocked down and nearly recaptured - or possibly killed.)

I've been attempting to re-create this render, with some improvements.  Specifically, an improved pose for Jared and a more realistic foot morph for Erica.  But when I try rendering the scene, the program freezes after approximately 4 minutes.  The cursor doesn't move, the task manager doesn't appear when I try Ctrl-Alt-Delete, nothing responds except my computer's reset button.  I've had the same problem happen, when making this other render, with the subject having certain hairstyles, but eventually got that one to work - with the aforementioned foot morph that I intended to give Erica in the first render.

For that reason, I've tried rendering Jared alone or Erica alone and the program works fine.  But when I try rendering them together - with or without the background, I get the freeze.  I don't get it.  If I've rendered that same scene before with no problems, then why would I have problems with it now?

I'm kind of desperate for help.

I recently purchased a powerful new computer for the purpose of creating digital art but the people who built the PC had the brilliant idea to put nearly all my hard drive space on the D drive; I can't fit as much content on my new C drive as I could on my old computer.

I looked for videos on Youtube and topics on this forum for help but I'm still struggling. I am completely useless when it comes to how computers work.

I uninstalled and deleted every mention of Daz on my computer, then reinstalled and tried to install to the drive (by changing the directory in the recently reinstalled install manager).

When I open Daz, I get the following error:

A valid PostgreSQL CMS connection could not be established. Several Daz Studio features that require a valid PostgreSQL CMS connection, such as context aware content views and loading content installed using the Daz Connect service, will not be available. Check your network, anti-virus, and firewall settings for conflicts.

The product I installed as a test to see if I had done things properly does show in the file I created on the D drive...but it doesn't show up in Daz. In fact, nothing shows up in Daz. No content at all.

I have the AVG anti-virus software, but I don't recall the program giving me issues before (when it comes to Daz Studio, anyway).

Somebody help?!

Thanks in advance!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new please help :) I'm using 4.12 and everytime i try import a bvh file to the figure it looks very very weird.

I followed some tutorials but they are all from older versions and I'm wondering if that's why mine isn't producing the same results.

Here's a link to the bvh file if you'd like to try https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bSvvtwVXokqjoNuuTuBYstzfw_C103w6

I add a G8 figure

from the scene panel i select children and unlock all and turn limits off rotations

have hips selected and then import the bvh.

and then it looks like this...

I've tried all the different generation figures possible and they are all providing the same result.
