I want to animate a car pulling off, driving in a straight line for about 300 metres and stopping. The only aniblocks included for driving in a straight line cover 70 metres and that works fine. But does anyone know how I can make the car drive further? I do not want to change the speed of the aniblock, and making it repeat causes the car to stop and start again every 70 metres. I tried cutting out the middle section and repeating just the middle section, but doing so caused the wheels to become seperated from the car.

Thanks,

I'm working on a graphic novel and figured out a major breakthrough with Daz3d and my post work process.  I'd like to put the genesis 3 toon generations skin on my original genesis characters because it looks better in the process I'm following.  I'm starting again and most of my money and character creation time has been invested in the original genesis figure.  If anyone can offer advice I'd be very appreciative.

I've been working with Daz for sometime now with no issues. My desktop is a newer rig (specs below). After purchasing, downloading, and installing quite a bit of content today, I noticed that loading Ryker for Genesis 8 was taking an unusual amount of time; probably 30 or 40 seconds. Applying materials was taking equally as long. At times, the app would be become unresponsive and crash. Additionally, when I decided to work on a different character I've developed, I noticed when I attempted to load content, I'm getting messages that the content needed is not installed (human mat for Katarya elf). 

I decided to uninstall and reinstall studio; no changes. I checked my windows updates, drivers, and they are all up-to-date. I checked my internet connection, which is stable. 

Any thoughts or ideas on what the seemingly sudden glitch might be? 

Any help is greatly appreciated. 

(Specs below.) 

Best, 

Jason

This would have been perfect, but it is 3Delight to my dissapointment:

Was wondering if this one called Last Stand could possibly be Iray, it's hard to tell one some older products:

https://www.daz3d.com/the-last-stand

If there is something out there, would love to purchase it. I can't seem to find anything except an overpass from Earkham Z World which is not large enough of a scene for me. But if I can't find anything else it may have to do.

I'd like to have a general workstation accessing the NAS, as well as my laptop remotely, and then a computer just for rendering.

Is the NAS in RAID5 going to be slower than say, a 4TB SSD, or faster? I'm thinking of using 5x 6TB 7200rpm drives in the NAS.

Is this a pipedream for Daz, or would this actually do what I want it to do, i.e. speedy access times across 3 or more computers?

If that's not possible, I'm also very handy with GIMP, so I could export one of the iris texture files, change the color to my liking, and re-import it. I just need to know how to export/import textures from DS so I can color-adjust them.

I was curious, I have a quite a few Genesis 3 figures and I was wondering is there any way to convert Genesis 3 figures to Genesis 8? 
I know there was GenX for the genesis 2 and 1. But is there anything for 3 to 8? 

Thanks
Winton :) 

is there a way to convert genesis 2 model to genesis 8 model

Additional info:

• They used to save when I had DAZ 4.10 then they stopped saving. I updated to 4.11 and the issue carried over.
• I don't recall tinkering with any preferences prior to this issue.
• Favorites don't save for 'Save', 'Save as', and 'Scene Subset' scenes. No matter how I'm saving the scene, they reset.
• I've moved from 1 PC to a more powerful PC and the issue persists. 

Thanks in advance for any assistance. 

Using the Daz Studio built in lessons, usually located near the bottom right of the work window.

Whole sections of the walk thru are missing.

How to place a figure (warrior, iray version)

step one, save before you start

step two, congrats ! that is how it is done.   ????

Not all are missing but MANY sections are effectively blank

QA needs to review and patch, last thing you want for new users is blank lessons...express lane to other folks software.

have a great day :-)

The character shows up in editor, and mobile builds. But not in HTML5 builds. I have tried with exported textures, and 25% resized textures.

I'm exporting a figure from Daz to Blender as an FBX.  I know how to set the export rules and i can see the shape keys being added in Blender.  However in Daz the list of exportable morphs is much smaller than the morphs the figure actually has listed in its parameters.  Its not a special type of morph like a jcm or ctrl and its not hidden.  And i've tried giving the morph 0 value and 100% value in its slider in parameters, but still nothing.  The morph might have a name like 0100 - move thingie this way and it wont show on the morph export list but morph 0101 - move thingie that way does show up on the export list.

So this morning I purchased the 'dForce Bristol Hair by AprilSYH' as it looks awesome, and something my male characters have been screaming out for for ages!

However, upon downloading and installing via DIM, I am presented with an error whenever I attempt to load the hair onto a figure:

The hairbase seems to load ok, as if the model has a shaved head. The rest of it looks like he has a lot of white spaghetti coming out of his head!

I have clickied on 'Install selected' multiple times (the error shows three of four times before going away) but the hair's appearance never changes.  I've also tried (in vain!) to locate the product that it's referencing - both in my install tab in DAZ, and on the Marketplace.  I've even had a look in DIM but nada.

So I'm at the top of my pay grade - It's beyond me why it's doing this!  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

John

I want to set up a separate shared drive for my Daz Content. I'm guessing that I should probably change the CMS Cluster Path to the shared drive as well.

But, since it's in the AppData folder, I'm wondering if doing so will majorly mess everything up.

Does anyone know what is the correct way to proceed?

& finally getting around to looking at it. I suspect simple operator error in not understanding something with usage, but perhaps not.

I loaded the default set which has the DA Big Ocean - Sea Plane and the DA Big Ocean - Full Sea Iray Decal parented to it.This is what I'm seeing though, default Camera load in position then pulled back.  Obviously not right but the readme doesn't give much to go by.

What am I missing here?

I have this message thing sometimes, which says: "duplicate in formulas found in files. Make sure the content is properly installed."

It usually doesn't affect anything. Might the reason? dunno, I got brain injury it seems. 

Any hint?

Thx

However when I render with the OC it goes straight to cpu.

Any Ideas?

I'm using DIM and trying to install G8 Essentials Male and Female, but the installs fail with no error messages. There is plenty of disk space in the destination, and I was able to install other items, but these two just refuse. Is there a log I can look for to tell my why they failed?

Thanks!

link to the city:

https://www.daz3d.com/old-city-center

renderers starts over after 5K iray iterations and it doesnt matter how high i set min samples and max sample.

they are the same as i usualy have but some hidden settings? causes the render to start over.

and also when the render starts over it only uses the CPU for rendering and you know how effective that one is ;)

any clue why this is happening?

GPU: RTX 2080

GPU mem usage when rendering this city with one G8 female caracter 7600MB.

also it doesnt matter how low i set texture compression

4096/2048 or 1024 doesnt change the problem

Are there some settings inside DAZ I need to adjust in order to help the .MDD file capture the animation of the clothing?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Now I know what you're thinking... is Selectable "on" in the parameters tab? Yes, it is. I even tried turning it off and on again, but no selection. Other items in the scene are selectable in the viewport, but not this. Nothing in the item is locked, UV's show up, materials, everything works except selectability. I am tempted to try to edit the .dsf file, but I don't want to mess up my week's worth of work.

Any ideas?
