It turns my curser into a crossout sighn instead. Anyone know whats causing this?

Sometimes applying a pose to figure moves it to another position. Can this be suppressed

Thank you

Run 1: 2min 6 second for 103 iteration for a full scenes (Benchmark, no canvas render)

Run 2: 2min 6 second for 140 iteration for model only (Canvas beauty, node select model only)

Run 3 : 2min 6 second for 74  iteration for classroom only (Canvas beauty, node select everything except model)

Analysis:

Run 2 make sense, since the texture for the classroom was removed, so you should get higher speed. 

Run 3:Seems a bit odd, maybe the initialization stage take longer due to purging memory after multi run? Render window are not closed.

Checking the Log File:

Texture memory consumption: 1.75127 GiB (for both card)

Same for all 3 render. 

Analysis:

All the visible scene objects are loaded into GPU, it will not go through a second filter via canvas 'Node'. Hiding object in canvas node does not save memory nor boost performance. 

My observation ,canvas is good for postwork preparation, but not for meddling around for performance boost. let me know if this is true or false.

My eyesight not what it used to be. I need more contrast and a larger font would sure help.

Any suggestions?

I encountered a weird problem with a bunch of clothes now. After a bit of investigations I'm pretty sure it's because I used the geometry editor to delete part of the genesis 3/8 model (happened with both).
WARNING, IMAGES CONTAIN NUDITY:

This is how it's supposed to look: Image removed
At the armpits there is some clipping...that's why I used the geometry editor to remove some of the Genesis model: Image removed
Now when I save the scene and reload it, this is how it looks: Image removed
Notice how the breast area is now completely messed up...

I just saved the scene 2 times; one time I didn't remove parts of the Genesis model and one time I didn't. And when I reload the one where I deleted parts is messed up again...
Now that I'm pretty sure the geometry editor is the cause for this, is there any solution to this problem?
I use the geometry editor quite frequently and so it's not the first time this happened... :(
BTW just hiding the polygons of the Genesis model instead of deleting them isn't really an option for me, since some scenes are quite complex and I also use a script to render a bunch of scenes in a row. 

Cheers and thx in advance!

Thanks

C:/users/public/public documents/Daz 3D/InstallManager/Downloads

It also creates a separate folder for installing the content, which is the path Daz Studio sources that content, here:

C:/users/public/public documents/My Daz 3D Library

Two Questions

My C: drive is on an SSD, which runs much faster then my internal secondary D: drive - a HDD drive (5 TB in size).   However, I'm maxing out on storage space on my SSD.   I would like to move the download files to the HDD, and, redirect the DIM to store downloaded Daz files there while installing the content on the SSD in the My Daz 3D Library.

1.  If I relocated *all* the downloaded files en masse to an archive on a mirror folder on the D: drive, will it affect the operations of Daz Studio, which is sourcing content from the library on the SDD?   Also, for future Daz downloads, is it as simple as redirecting the Package Archive path and possibly the Thumbnail Archive to the newly created folders on the D: drive?

2.  I have downloaded Daz .zip files for manual installation as well as 3rd party content files that follow the same folder format as Daz.  I would prefer using the DIM instead of manually installing them.  Is it possible to have the DIM install from a local .zip file, and if so, how does one set the settings in the DIM to reference the local folder with the .zips?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I really hope someone could help me, im kinda new with Daz3d and i'm searching all over the internet to find it.

But with no results.. Here is te problem:

In the shop from Daz3d i bought a couple sets of morphs what i can put on my carcter. I see the morphs in the Smart Content map in the map Shaping. But if i click on it it wont desepire into the paramrters map.. I dont see the settings to use it on the caracter.

But here is the pressing issue. I created a morph that implies a slumped posture and I need to adjust the rigging to shape. But when I do, this distortion happens. Something makes it so the "adjust rig to shape" button doesn't do its job.

thank you

Please advise the steps I need to follow to access the assets that I have purchased through your web store.
If the DAZ Install Manager is deprecated, please advise the software or utility I need to use to download and update the purchsed assets.

I actually just want to know how to “indent” skin where it’s being pressed. For example, actor 01 pokes actor 02 in the belly. I want the belly to depress or “indent”. And that’s it. I’m sure this is easy but I can’t figure it out.

From the video I created of this problem, you'll notice that I cannot access anything in my content library menu because the menus won't scroll. I can click on the first button, but then I cannot access anything. Sometimes I end up not seeing anything at all. I tried using the up and back arrows, but that generally just puts me right back where I was at the beginning. Any ideas on fixing this issue are most welcome.

DAZ Content Library Problem from Jason Wrench on Vimeo.

many thanks...

We've tried deleting the (possibly) offending product (Little Bit O'' Lace) from the Install Manager (The Daz UI doesn't stay up long enough to try from there) Little Bit O'' Lace does appear to have been deleted after the attempt. That diidn't really change anything though. Was initially having this problem in the 4.10 release and the upgrade to 4.11 hasn't changed anything. Have not upgraded to 4.12 yet. I strongly suspect the problem is with the Content Manager. possibly some corruption in the database.

As I've spent hours cataforizing tons of content I'd 'prefer' not to lose all that and have to do it again... but if it gets to that so be it... Weeks of not being able to create is giving me the shakes. 

Here's a snippet from the end of the logs at the point where the system has crashed.:

If anyone has any ideas?  Thanks!

I got problem with importing some of models. the problem is some of mesh parts disappear when I import them into Daz. Does anyone know what the problem is ??

screenshot is attached

...when I save the file and load it back - eyelashes became corrupted. Instead of the figure I saved a second ago I get a small, curved, weird, eyelashes without any options to make it great again. Any idea what's happening and what should I do If I don't want Eyelashes as separated object on export ? Using DAZ Studio 4.10 Pro

I can imagine saving the pose preset as a custom morph by exporting an obj and bringing it back, but mehh. There must be a simpler way?

Question...

I purchased a few Genesis 8 figures, but am transitioning completely to Cinema 4D.  My plan is to export the figures (OBJ, FBX), re-import into C4D, then re-create the skeleton, weight maps, etc.  Basically giving me fully animatable figures within C4D.  Any assets created from these figures would always be in 2D form (stills/animations).

But, once I export all the assets, I was planning on uninstalling Daz Studio since I wouldn't ever need to run that software.  I think I may even uninstall DIM.  Yes, I'd miss out on future updates to the figures, but I want to go through the export/import process just once.

Having said all that, is it appropriate to have Daz content in 3D form for use within C4D such that Daz Studio isn't installed? Put another way, if you don't have Daz Studio installed, is the content still considered licensed to you?

Im trying to render animation, rendering in open GL is doing well.

But when i try to render in Iray, the camera is ignored and the scene is rendered as seen from viewport, the camera movements are not rendered.

How to fix this issue ?

Why in the world would it store needed files to a folder whose content is going to disappear when you close DAZ?

Anyone else running in to this?  (This is on the purchased version of Face Transfer.)

I've also opened a ticket as I'm able to recreate this.
