Face Transfer error?

TATSU 3D — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 20:19:19 +0000

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with the free version of the new Face Transfer utility in DS 4.12. When I load the base figure, load a face photo and hit 'Generate', I get the following error:

The transfer appears to complete however it doesn't appear to calculate the face shape properly, and the quality is a little poor (although it does say this will happen in the error window shown above!)

I have the full version sitting in my cart waiting to be purchased, but I want to make sure everything works properly before I go ahead and buy it!

Anyone have any clue as to what this error is saying - why shouldn't it be able to find the base textures? The model is textured and loaded without error.

Any help much appreciated!

Scene getting sliced in half

Alric — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 05:02:08 +0000

I'm working on a scene and I was able to render it a couple of days ago but then the next day I reloaded the scene and tried to render again.

It's like the scene was cut in half with a knife. Half will render just fine and the other half just doesn't. I don't mean two objects where one will render and the other won't but this is one object that is cut in half, and the cut doesn't follow the mesh.

I've attached two renders to illustrate.

Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Model looks different than what's intended? Please help!

craanbery — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 18:32:13 +0000

So my friend made a model for me. We made sure we had the same assets, but faces look different. Mine is on the RIGHT. I'm missing some breast assets, but that shouldn't affect the face, right? Checked all the morphs and nothing is added or missing. Using Daz 4.12. Same happens with 4.10

No DS 4.12 in DIM

jim_doria — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 03:41:33 +0000

Saw the notice on the site today, but when I followed the directions & went into DIM, Studio 4.12 wasn't there.

Are they rolling it out a little at a time? Is there an alternate way to download it?

DAZ 4.12 file size issue

alienarea — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 12:22:54 +0000

When I add a dforce hair like Classic Curls or Side-Layered Messy Hair to a basic G8F, the file size increases from around 400 kB to 108.000 kB. What happened?

Running on Windows 64-Bit Home and Nvidia GTX 1060 with latest drivers

Anybody know how to switch back to the old timeline?

duckbomb — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 18:51:01 +0000

I can't figure out how, but there are things I did with that and I can't figure out how to do them the same way with this new one, and I just want to use what I'm used to.

Genesis 3 face morphs do not show in v4.12

EightiesIsEnough — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 19:00:22 +0000

I installed the 4.12 yesterday evening, but today I disvovered something that should not have happened. The African face morphs I got on Rendo last year have disappeared from the Actor menu in the parameters window on my DAZ studio copy. I also noticed that some face morphs and character morphs do not zhow in tbe Actors menu either.

I wonder if Genesis 3 female is no longer available in all newer versions of DAZ Studio? I sure hope not.

Everything related to Genesis 8 Models not showing up

deadbeatwinter — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 23:07:21 +0000

I upgraded to 4.12 through the IM and now everything related to Genesis 8 Models (the base and all the things I have downloaded/purchased) will not show up in my products or the lost and found section. I have tried to reinstall the products and Daz Studio itself but they will still not show up.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Latest Nvidia drivers and OpticX still EXTREMT SLOW RENDERING.... I give up.

fableman — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 22:30:47 +0000

V4 to G8

Dryke — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 15:23:44 +0000

Hi, guys. I have some V4 characters that I bought in the past, which I like a lot, but I can't use them anymore because I don't have poses and clothes to wear on them. I wish I could convert to G8. Was there any converter for this?

Graphmate Question: Quick and Easy way to get all keys in a figure to appear in graphmate?

Diaspora — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 00:18:07 +0000

How do I make every parameter with keys in a figure appear in Graphmate?

What I am attempting to do is set all the keyframes to tension 1.00 because I find that to be a lot more controllable as a starting point than the sometimes rather wild splines that happen with the default settings in DAZ Studio.

Alternately, crazy question but is there a way to set DAZ Studio so that all new keyframes automatically have tension set to 1.00?

Should I purchase anything from the DAZ Shop or should I hold off?

EightiesIsEnough — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 13:14:25 +0000

I have two items on tap in my cart, but I am wondering, considering the problems that are associated with the newly released 4.12, is it safe for me to buy items from the DAZ Shop or should I hold off until after the problems are fixed?

Face Transfer

clay392 — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 18:32:13 +0000

Was looking at the face transfer, and I was wondering if anyone played with it. My specific wonderment is to whether I could make multiple characters with photos of myself with different favorite expressions and inject them all onto one character as morphs. Anyone try this yet?

Gatherings

andreretogasser — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 14:20:04 +0000

Hello. Probably a stupid question - I am not a professional. If I want to make gatherings in the background - what saves more resources: G8 or LoRez?

Daz Studio 4.12 Speed

I though the promos for Daz Studio 4.12 promised faster rendering!
Mine actually seems 10x slower What the heck?

Ccannot use DAZ 3D Studio 4.12

rhematom — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 13:12:10 +0000

I am unable to login, and forced to load the studio offline, but then I am unable to do anything. I can load up a figure, but then cannot turn them or do anything with them. It seems I must be logged in to use the software, but cannot login.

Why ARE DOWNLOADS AT KB/s SPEEDS?

trying to get purchases as usual and the speeds are what you'd EXPECT FROM AOL DIAL UP.

who's the tech that maintained the servers because they screwed the pooch. 27mb dl should NOT take 5 minutes+

Baking Instancing into single geometry and importing camera track data

vorpaledgeproductions — Thu, 05 Jan 2017 14:26:36 +0000

Hi all,

I do a lot of compositing with Cinema 4D and Daz3D is my go-to spot for models. If it's static geometry, I can export from DAZ as an .obj and if it's animated, I can export as an .fbx. Everything works great and I can handle all camera tracking and the like in Cinema4D (and sometimes Element3D for AE). I recently bought the Rock Formations bundle, thinking I could do the same thing. Not quite. The actual rock formations are done by using Instances of a single rock geometry. When I export (regardless of what file type I choose), the instancing is lost so all that is exported is that single rock geometry. I haven't found a method to bake the instances into a single geometry, so I though I could do a camera track in After Effects or Cinema 4D or maybe PFTrack and import that data into DAZ3D.

I discovered this and, while it does bring over the camera and nulls from After Effects, the camera movement is not transferred over.

I'm still toying things at this stage but I was curious if anyone knows of A) a method of baking instancing into a single geometry, or B) knows of a way to import tracking data?

Exporting instances from DAZ (edit: or baking)

ShaneWSmith — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:47:33 +0000

Hi all,

I'd really like to make an obj file of the Sci-Fi Industrial Colony that takes into account all the instanced props (crates and so forth). I'm aware such an obj file (if possible) would be rather a large one, but I'd really like to use it in Poser.

Is there any way to convert instances of an object into actual objects within DAZ Studio, or fiddle with the export settings to take account of instances?

Thanks

Loading dForce clothing to other generations

Ptrope — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 04:36:54 +0000

Is it possible to use dForce clothes for G8F on G3F? Are the items loaded using the normal auto-fit (for that matter, I'm unclear whether the items are loaded to G8F as conforming items or something else). I'm especially trying to stay away from the distortions of the mesh that usually accompany trans-generational or rescaled fitment - if the clothing can be simulated, it seems like it shouldn't need to be conforming in the first place.

Saved layouts don't stay

Scotsprincess — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 19:19:21 +0000

I load my layout just fine. But when I close Daz then restart it, I'm back to the original layout with no tabs on the left. Help please.

Smart Content Problem

tophand — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 13:47:19 +0000

I know I must have clicked something but for the life of me I can't see what. My Smart Content doesn't show in the "Products" window but does in "Files" also everything works using the content manager. I just find it handy if I am trying to decide on an option to see the icons

DAZ 4.12 sliders too long and cut off on right side of screen (Fixed)

Richard John S — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 17:24:07 +0000

Ever since I have upgrades to DAZ 4.12, the sliders for things such as adjuting expressions etc are way too long and are actually cut off from the screen (default sliding positions begin at the end of the right side of the screen). This only happens on the right side of the screen, the left side works fine. Below is a screenshot of the issue.

Issue with GPU rendering after upgrading to Daz Studio 4.12

Drakhian — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 11:17:07 +0000

After upgrading to Daz Studio 4.12 it seems that iray won't render with GPU only, but works fine with CPU rendering.

I have a GeForce GTX 1080 and my drivers are up to date and it worked fine with the previous version. Any ideas of what could causing this issue?

Dolb character without Ollie 8

vonHobo — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 05:57:41 +0000

Does anyone know whether this character will workout without Ollie 8?

Dolb HD for Ollie 8

https://www.daz3d.com/dolb-hd-for-ollie-8

I have another character that looks OK without the required product: Ryker HD for Vladimir 8, and it works just fine without Vladimir 8.

So I was unsure if some figure that are based on a main figure absolutely require the main figure to load, or it's just best to use it with that figure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to purchase Ollie 8 just to get the Dolb HD character.

The rendered video is no where in my folder, What gives?

Daz 4.12 installs as 4.11

Valkeerie — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 09:39:26 +0000

I downloaded the Daz Studio 4.12 64 bit executable from the website (i.e. not using DIM) and the various install dialogs still reference 4.11. The package installs as Daz Studio 4.11 and appears to be 4.11, even though it runs as 4.12.
