System: Dell Inspiron 7555, GPU: nVidia GForce 960m, Windows 10, 16 GB RAM

so I have tried to render a rather large scene in 4.12 hoping it would fit into VRAM. I have an RTX 2080 Ti with 11GB and according to Windows task manager at about 10GB should be available before I start rendering.

Then this happens:

2019-08-25 17:36:49.675 Iray [INFO] - IRAY:RENDER ::   1.0   IRAY   rend info : Initializing local rendering.

... and Iray falls back to CPU rendering.

So, Iray attempts to allocate 6GB but somehow there are only 5.2GB available. I think I'll be able to optimize this particular scene and make it work, but I would still like to know why this is happening.

Any idea why Iray would report roughly only half as much available VRAM as the Task Manager?

Genesis 2 custom chracter with custom morphs -> load facial hair obj -> transfer utility from Gen2 to OBJ -> I only leave checked in the General Options the "Weight Maps", and "Morph Targets" -> under the "Morph Targets" I have both boxes checked and select "All" morphs -> run the TU then it freezes for about 15min with hundreds of the messages below in the log file:

2019-08-28 18:00:54.549 WARNING: general\dzmorphdeltas.cpp(342): Invalid vert count specified in DzMorphDeltas::setTargetVertexCount()

"Jisi v5.duf" is the name of the file.

I have to point out the program does not error, it keeps running and after 15min the task is done but the transfered morphs don't work in unison with the Gen2 figure. What's really strange is that I followed the steps above a day prior and the transfer was done quickly with the morphs conforming as they should. The file I'm using was an old version from yesterday and it has not been modified. It worked one day and suddenly now it's giving me issues and I don't know why.

I've got a render I'm working on where the subject is lying on the ground but rather than the shadows meeting the model, it looks like the model is floating several inches above the ground. I've used ctrl+D to bring the model to the ground, but in the finished render, I still see the gap between the shadows and the figure. It looks like Studio wants to project the shadows onto something other than the actual ground, because no matter how I position the model, I get a gap. I've moved the model on its Y axis to negative numbers--where I'd assume it would be below the ground plane--but the gap persists.

Has anyone figured out what causes this and how to fix it? I'm lost.

I'm running Daz 4.11.   I have a recently purchased Dell i9 processor and a Nvidia DeForce 2060 w/ 6 GB GPU processor, yet when I try and render, it runs the system hard -- and if it runs this new powerful system hard, it would appear it's the Daz product, not computer.   It apparently runs in 3Delight, not in Iray.   I've read it might be because Nvidia makes Iray while also selling the most popular GPU chip; therefore, you cannot run 3Delight products on any of the GPU processors.

I tried to convert Winterland using Sickleyield's 3Delight to Iray script, but still no luck.  The Iray render engine won't recognize it.   Some of my characters are Iray.   Can the Winterland product be used for anything, and if so, how...or is it just a waste money for anyone that doesn't use the 3Delight engine and few characters now available?

Several months ago I purchased the Z Drunk and Hungover - Poses with Partials and Expressions for Genesis 3 and 8 product and while all of the poses worked with both Genesis 3 and 8, only some of the expressions worked with Genesis 8. I sent a note to Daz Technical Support but it has now been 6 months and nothing has been resolved. So my question is does anyone have any idea why some of the expressions work with Genesis 8 but others don't? They all work with Genesis 3.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

I get an error anytime if i load Genesis 8 and 3.

Base models genesis 2 works good.

What i must to do?

I fixed other errors (duplicates and others) but this error still persist.
What i need to do to fix this errors?

My first question ever asked on this forum so please be gentle.

I was wondering if theres any quality issues if i attempt to render 2 pictures at the same time instead of letting 1 complete first? 

Also i have Daz Studio 4.11 so would it be possible for me to purchase items from Poser or Daz Studio and use it without modications etc?

I mainly use Genesis 8 models.

Also, just how many fstops does DAZ's camera have up to?

I'm animating a character with dforce clothing.  The arm of the character is just bare skin and during the animation it moves towards the chest, clips into the chest, and then moves away from the chest.  Because of that the cloth in the chest area is messed up like it is being "pulled" towards the arm.  What setting should i mess with in the dforce simulator or clothes parameters to keep the shirt snug against the chest and not pull away when the arm touches it? without having to redo the animation itself.

I'm trying to export my first character from daz studio to blender 2.8. The problem is that when I export the character from daz to blender 2.8 the color of the eyes becomes white,while in daz is correct. how can I fix this error ? thanks.

I have 2 "Genesis 2 Female" models in my scene.

Both have their own animation.

I would now like to copy frame 1 from model A and copy it onto frame 1 of model B.

To do that, I first go to frame 1.

Then I select the body parts that I want to copy from model A, then I choose "Edit -> Copy -> Copy Selected Items".

Then I choose the same body parts of model B, then I choose "Edit -> Paste -> Paste Pose to selected Items."

It works, but the entire animation is pasted, not only frame 1.

How could I limit the copy / pasting to frame #1?

Thank you!

Iray makes Daz Studio 4.11 crash in viewport and makes Windows 1903 crash in rendering mode.

My nvidia driver is the latest version 430.86 for a GeForce GTX 960

Messing around with building clothing again.... never had much luck with my old brain retaining info but I try when the feeling strikes.  

So built a simple gym short.  Now what if my guy is a total athlete and liked doing gymnastics?  He would be doing side splits.  Well I found a video on how to create JCM's for one limb at a time but what if I wanted both legs full extended to the sides into a split?  How would one hook up a JCM or an MCM to kick in when both legs are out like that at the same time?  

Thanks so much

Video if possible but I can manage with text too!

Does anyone know if this torch works with Iray?

https://www.daz3d.com/the-torch-and-construction-kit

I find it difficult to tell with some products that do not mention "Iray" in the description.

Would like to purchase this but only if it works in Iray without adjustments.

Can someone walk me through this as if I am 6-years old?

Any help would be great.

I've buyed Reality (https://www.daz3d.com/reality-4-daz-studio-edition) from the Daz Store, since i installed it my Daz won't login anymore, also i can't register Reality because the given Serial is incorrect.

I tried contact them on their Homepage, but nobody did respond till now, i needed to create an Account over there just to tell them in their Support Forums that my Serial won't work, wich is also Impossible because i won't get any Activation E-Mail from creating my Account there.

I don't know what to do, and why Daz won't login anymore.

Need help getting my Daz to Login again also help for getting a new and working serial for Reality, the Serial i got from Daz, wich is shown in my Account doesent work at all.

Thanks,

Sam.

Hey folks,

I wonder if you could help me with this hair poke through situation. What's causing it and how can I avoid it?

Thanks!

I recorded a video of this process
