From my understanding there shouldn't even be a dsf file in the characters folder, those are in the data folder, as the actual morphs, right?

I tried copying that dsf file into genesis 8 female/characters and still get the error.

Not sure if it's because I have daz pointing to a different location for my assets, which I've done on my PCs, and not had this issue, in fact, shouldn't she not even be able to load correctly if she didn't have the morph?

Time for a clean install maybe?

I have applied some morphs to Genesis 8 Female, and she looks great now.

Unfortunately I have edited her eyes using the Surfaces tab and doing various not-so-good edits to the sclera / irisses / pupils, etc.

And I feel unable restoring G8F's original surfaces.

Is there a way to apply her original eye materials / surfaces again?

Thank you!

Is it possible?

I have a question that I hope you all can help me with.

I applied a auto pose ( a premade pose supplied by a vendor) to a DAZ G3 Female and now I can no longer slect her individual body parts for tweeks to the pose..  Does anyone here know how to fix this problem that weirdly occurs every now and then?   I figure the person who designed the pose applied a setting that must now be switched back off.. Just a guess.

Thank you all so much for your help.

Oops!  I figured it out.. There was a tiny black X in the Node of the Scene Box..  I unchecked it and the problem went away!

I just started playing around with rendering props over HDRI backgrounds with iRay. When moving the prop around, the background disappears and the movement is very slow, making positioning the prop a tedious trial and error process.  Is there a setting in DAZ where w can reduce the resolution in the viewport as we move the prop around. When doing so, iRay shouldn't be trying to draw everything perfectly right away, it should wait until we have repositioned the prop to start trying to redraw at full resolution. Or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about, which is probably the case, like I said, I just started playing around with HDRI BGs.Any settings I can change or any workarounds?

Thanks.

I'm fighting with a problem:

I have changed Genesis 8 Female's eye texture. My new texture doesn't look much different than the original DAZ texture, but it results in bloody / red eyes:

I've compared my texture to the original DAZ texture, and both have blood vessels and are red to some extent.

Only my texture's blood vessels are very visible.

Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this?

I've compared the original model and my own model for really long now, but I just don't see the difference.

Thank you for any idea!

I've searched these forums for answers. Most the search engine for the forums here is useless, Google gives me more results, but nothing has worked. There are so many files now scattered all over my harddisks from the install manager now I don't know whats installed and what isn't. Made a post about finding the primatives and can't find that post was ever even up here. Daz forums aren't very helpful. I guess I'll put in a ticket,,,,someday.

I tried making a custom morph for the Giant Fantasy Snake in Blender, but here's what happened. You can see what I did in Blender. It's only one change that I made. 
When I imported it to DAZ with the Morph Loader Pro, it worked but it was affecting the snake's mouth as well as some of the texture along the body. 
I've been using this tutorial to guide me: 

Can anyone tell me what's going on? 

And indeed when I do that, I can find assets in the Content Library -- but they don't always load properly.  (The program says assets are missing, or I'll see outlines around the asset in the viewport instead of the asset itself.  Or sometimes it works fine.)  When I copy the assets into My Daz 3D Library, then they work fine.  So I'm wondering: do all these "additional base directories" have to reside somewhere within the My Daz 3D Library folder?  Or am I just getting the directory structure wrong?  If the latter, can someone point me to a directory structure I should create in each additional base directory?

Thanks in advance!

I've attached a screenshot of what's going on. Any advice? Thanks!

EDIT

I did some more digging and found that https://www.daz3d.com/corbin-for-lucian-7, another Lucian 7 character, has the same problem. However, Lucian 7 and Oscar for Lucian 7 work fine.

Any help is appreciated.

What must I do to relieve myself of this problem?

Anyway thanks in advance.

1) Takes over an hour to export 300 frames (or at least what SHOULD have been 300 frames) of a single figure at base resolution.

2) Screws up the UV maps.

3) Stops at arbitrary frames, usually around 140.

So I got the official Alembic sources from GitHub, and wrote a short program to convert a series of OBJs exported from Daz to an Alembic file that be imported into Blender, Maya, or whatever.

I have an initial version that works, but:

1) There's something I don't understand about how Alembic reckons time, because the model walks in slow motion in Blender.

2) I don't yet support material zones, so I can't re-texture the imported model.

3) I don't even support multiple objects, so the import is just one comprehensive object.

4) Blender complains about a missing transformation at every frame, I have no idea what that means, but it still works.

But it sure is nice not having to worry about JCMs and whatnot. And the Alembic code is AMAZING... I tested it with 40 frames, each one an 80 meg .obj, and the resultant .abc file is only 220 megs. There's some SERIOUS programming going on in there; I would not have thought that there would be much opportunity for any kind of compression at all. And it writes out frames so fast that the bottleneck is my parsing of the .obj file.

So, anyone who has suffered the same frustration with the Alembic exporter that I have, help is on the way...

So basically, I am trying to render an image series using aniMate Lite. However, when I move a character in one panel, I discover that the same character moves in all the previous panels despite the fact that I have set up the perfect pose for it already. How can I avoid this?

And some light version of morph import window is displayed in DAZ:  https://imgur.com/yIbeS86

But when I followed video tutorial - there were more advanced import window: https://imgur.com/uPxX39M

I need Reverse Deformations option in that advanced window...

I am using Daz Studio 4.11 Pro Beta

In video I think a previous version of Daz

Scenario:

a) Render a 4500x3000 3:2 image, this exceed most monitor size

b) You notice that the head gear or something is covered by hair and want to just render the head gear so you can reblend in PS

c) Spot render is only performed on the view windows, which is way smaller and need a few steps to resize and crop and probably miss a few pixel width. Not to mention lower quality due to smaller size.

Want to hear from you all, thanks.

For some models, I see the "HD" attribute on the DAZ store, for example here: https://www.daz3d.com/michael-8-hd-add-on

How is this realized in DAZ? Is there a Resolution Level "Ultra High Resolution" in the Parameters slot? 

Or are the details in the normal map?

Thank you for the info!

I created a chain link in Blender, then unwrapped the mesh, and UV mapped a metallic texture onto it. (First screenshot)

Then I exported it as an OBJ (see next screenshots) and imported it into DAZ. 

The problem is that once it's in DAZ, there is no texture anymore. It's white. What am I missing? (Thanks in advance!)
