I have my viewport set to an ideal size (at least for my purposes) for most of the time. Sometimes I would like to modify it based on what I am working on but for my next session, I would like to return to that "ideal" setting but DAZ returns me to the last setting used. Is there a way to keep those settings from being saved?

I'm on a new iMac, using the latest Daz. I'm guessing there's something corrupt in the file or scene? I have no idea. 

I've lost a lot of work if I can't save these scenes.

This is a pretty interesting tool, and I wonder how it accesses scene backdrops from the location you choose?  Does it rely on Google Maps or Google Earth to retrieve the images?

I wonder if it can locate even small communities in Newfoundland such as, say, Come by Chance or Codroy Valley, and if it can navigate through roads or streets like in Google Street View?

I did learn that the Moon 360 I purchased a long time ago does have the ability to navigate along the surface on the moon.

Tonight I open my software, I slip one of my characters that I always liked and here is the texture became weird. I do not know what has changed from yesterday to today. Please be specific cause I am a newbie with Daz.

Why is parent in place not working how I expect it should? I want to parent objects to objects or figures and have them stay in the same position in world space.  

Can anyone please advice?

Thank you so much!!!

I currently have to use a Ryzen 3 1200.

I don't have any problem using only my RTX 2060 for rendering, and the viewport is smooth.

But when I pose a character, it's a nightmare. It's very laggy (both in 4.11 and 4.12), and the CPU usage spikes to almost 100% while I do so.
It happens with every character (I use Genesis 8), not just with some of them.

The RAM usage is under 50%, and everything else is alright, so I guess the CPU is the bottleneck.
I don't have other software opened, and at idle the CPU usage is around 4%. I have this problem only when I pose a character.

Is there any way to mitigate the problem?

Knowing that the blade is causing the problem I have tried tinkering with the surfaces tab to tone down reflectivity and such. I also searched the forums and tried messing with fireflies on the render and although the dots seem to change position a bit when I edit the firefly settings, they are never eliminated.

For now I am doing two renders where I render without the blade, then with and cut the blade out and paste it over the render without dots. It gets the job done but it is not an ideal solution. Is there something I can do to the blade prop so that it isn't putting dots on the right side of her body? Note that my render would be bare like this -- I'm not putting in backgrounds or lighting for scenes or anything.

I have imported a jacket as an OBJ.

I want to turn this OBJ into a cloth that conforms and moves along with my Genesis 2 Female model. The Genesis 2 Female model has a full body morph. 

When I use the "Transfer Utility" with the default settings, I get a jacket that conforms and moves along with the model.

However, the Transfer Utility fits the jacket to the model's morph. I don't like how the Transfer Utility does this, it doesn't look nice.

In fact, I would simply like to avoid the fitting. The transfer utility should just use what I give it.

So to do that, I un-check the Post Transfer Option "Fit To Source Figure".

But when I un-check this option, the Transfer Utility doesn't seem to do anything:

The jacket doesn't move along with the model when I pose the model.

Instead, it stays perfectly still and just doesn't do anything.

The jacket completely ignores the model.

What could I check?

Thank you!

My case may be somewhat unique due to my Hardware /Software setup. I am running DAZ Studio 3D in both OS/X and on my Bootcamp drive in Windows 10. My "My DAZ 3D Library" is on my NTFS Bootcamp partition.

I make this writable for the Mac OS using TUXERA and NTFS For Mac (I used to use a 3rd exFAT partition to share the My DAZ 3D Library folder, but that actually caused far worse problems)

I used to run the Windows 10 version of DAZ from both Bootcamp and Parallels 15 but the last couple of DAZ updates have made the rotate and panning navigation impossible...( hope there is a fix soon)

...anyways ...the Windoze version does not have any issues finding the .dsf files, only when I run DAZ from OS/X. Same files, same library. I don't think it is a conventional permissions issue.

While attempting to fix this issue I managed to delete the OS/X database and "lost" all of my DAZ assets (oops). I have reimported the Metadata and that has restored all of my DAZ content.

Nearly all of my 3rd party DAZ format content suffers from this issue now. I assume I will have to reinstall all 3rd party content, but I already tried that with my "problem" content and still have the issue.

I have checked and reset the permissions in Windoze several times, both the entire path and the individual "ghost" .dsf files, from OS/X and from Windoze10, no effect.

Please see the attached screencaps:

By that I mean something similar to ZBrush where the model rotates in 360 and produces an animation.

I looked in the DAZ Shop but I could not find anything similar.

I could probably do this by hand by rendering each scene with a different Y rotation, but that would be really time consuming to do manually.

Can someone tell me what does it mean?

I'm using keyMate, and I would like to select a bone in the keyMate hierarchy.

I thought I could easily do that by clicking a bone in the Viewport, but the only way I have found so far is to expand the entire keyMate hiearchy until the desired bone is "there" in the hierarchy and then click it in the keyMate hierarchy.

This is extremely time-taking. 

Did I miss something, or is selecting a bone of a model in keyMate really only possible by walking through the entire keyMate hierarchy?
