What would that be?

Thoughts? Suggestions? Setting?

How can I render with the OpenGL engine certain parts of a figure (e.g. face, skin, clothes) with a single solid color?

The only thing I got working is, setting the hair to a solid color e.g. green (by changing the Surface | Editor | Base Color of the hair) and render it with 3delight, see below, still this is only working when using 3Delight and also only works on the hair.

When I change the Base Color of the clothes e.g. to red they don't show up as a single solid color in 3delight like the hair, moreover using OpenGL neither.

Has anyone maybe a tip for me how to render parts of the figure with solid color ideally with OpenGl?

Thanks a lot 

Side note: If found this quite old thread discussing it but I'm stuck as a newbie how to replicate it and also don't know if it is still applicable.

I'm having a small problem here in Daz... I'm rendering using 3Delight and everytime I render a window, with some glass, the glass looks kind of transparent, but it look dark grey (like you can see in the render preview in the image)! Kind of like if light wasn't passing thru it properly... I've had this problem before using 3Delight, I just selected the item in  the scene menu and added a glass shader mixer... But this time, the glass window isn't selectable in the scenes tab, it's only in the surface tab...

How can I add a shader mixer to something in the suraface tab? I've tinkered around with the surface options of the glass window, but it still renders grey! Anybody can shine some light on this subject please? :/

P.S. I'm using the Cozy Bedroom for the scene...

I see a big need of an update in the sense of some customer service! The spear is systematically upside down! Of course one can correct this manually - but with a product that I have paid for I would actually expect a patch. Or am I the only customer affected by the phenomenon?

How do you see that?

Mod edit  :-To correct the link which was showing as 404

Is there any content that allows to migrate the morphs of a G8 male character to a G8 female?

I would like to have a female for this character https://www.daz3d.com/ozias-hd-for-genesis-8-male

Thanks !!

I appreciate any ideas as I am in the middle of production of a graphic novel. Arrrggg!

the first image is using open GL and the second is using 3delight

I'm very late to the Iray party but late is better than never I guess. I'm considering an RTX 2080 Ti, but info is quite limited for now. I saw a few Iray benchmark threads but the test scenes in there were mainly just one character in an outdoor setting, without any background. 

The scenes I render usually have two characters and an indoor setting, like in the attachment. I understand that indoor renders take up much more time in Iray, so I wonder, for a single RTX 2080 Ti card rendering 1920 x 1020 pixels for such a scene, what's your usual time? Knowing the performance of a single card is important so I can decide if I should build a rig with two or more RTX cards.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

I have purchased many of Rons brushes (and just to note, a MUST HAVE) and would like to use DIM to install them.

Any help would be immensley appreciated =)

Thank you!

I'm experiencing a "sun burn" effect in my scene.

It looks like this:

I don't have a light objects in my scene.

I only have a HDRI dome / environment, it looks like this:

Does anybody have any idea what I could check in order to find out where the sun burn originates from?

Thank you!

There's literally 100 options to adjust and possibly get a Genesis 1-3 in there..

Anyone have the combination plz!?!?

Two days of doing the same thing and the V7 cameras refuses to work at all. The cameras save correctly for M7HD. (the HD shouldn't make a D@mn difference!

Its a pose set for market and it refuses to work.  Ive wasted more time than the set can produce a profit on the market.

Fixing to scrap hundreds of US Dollars for just being flat out infuriated.

Help? Anyone?

Also, if I should choose "Lock Selected Nodes (Shape)" or "Unlock Selected Nodes (Shape)," what is the difference supposed to be between Pose and Shape? Does it mean that the shape can't be morphed if the node is locked?

I have a Distant Light in my scene.

When it light is present, the textures in my scene appear black.

No matter which rendering mode I have selected ("Texture Shaded", "Wire Shaded", etc.), the textures stay black.

Only if I render, the come back as intended.

When I delete this light, it all appears "normal" again.

What is this behaviour of the light, and how could I change this?

Thank you!

But i feel like this tutorial is outdated and can't figure out how to achieve what i want to do.

So do you have any tutorial, tips or way to control two bones with one single controller. Any ideas?

I was wondering if there is any good documentation on what Smart Content is, how it works and what the little symbols mean that show up in the top right corner of the icons? I am confused to what is happening because some icons have symbols in the corner and some do not. When I right click on the icons, depending on what the symbol is in the corner, I am given options to uninstall or install or install update. All of my content has been installed using the DIM so I don't know why I am given the option to install them again. Updating them I can understand but not a just a basic install if they are already installed. If I do click on the install, it takes a very, very ,very long time to install but when it is done the symbol in the top corner does disappear unless there is an update.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I was wondering what exactly is the Lost and Found Category in the far left hand column of the Smart Content window? I have noticed that a lot of items that I have installed using the DIM show up there for some reason and they are often grayed out, but they still load when I double click on them.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

I accidentally re-imported all my metadata and now I'm stuck with my content library and smart content full of empty duplicate products without thumbnails. I could go through them all in content library and delete them, but that would take ages. Is there an easier way to get them out of there? 

Thanks!
