This is the first time I've ever had a problem using Poser stuff in Daz. Figures, hairs, textures, etc. just work after a simple manual installation. Why is it different this time? What else needs to be done to make it work?

Those are some really cool skins.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Answer I found: In the gray space between the tabs, right-click to get a menu. Click on "Add Pane" and then click on the tools item.

How do I save these characters with all the resources intact - ie. hair, clothes makeup accessories etc. so I do not have to dig through all of these items and "rebuild" the look for each render?

Second - is there a way to assign several such characters in some sort of group so they are easy to find... I assume it involves creating a category in the CMS data base for the content library, but how?

This is my first attempt at this sort of render series, so I apologize if these are really basic procedures most people know... but I am clueless

Thanks for your time.  /LB

this all happened after did a clean install of windows 10 and reinstalled all my software. i saved all my daz libraries except for the "People" one - i thought it be a good idea to install and clean up my files. that was a mistake. 

since installing my genesis figueres, it take 15-20 minuets to load and almost as long to save. 

if any of you can take a look at my log file and offer any suggestion, i would really appreiciate it.

I just installed 4.11 and everything is fine except one thing: some surfaces gets distorted. It's NOT about the denoiser, I have tested with and without.

I have a render made with 4.10 of a character with the skin of Makayla (https://www.daz3d.com/makayla-hd-for-genesis-8-female ). The lips looks just like in the promo pictures, they have a slight metallic shimmer. But when I render the same picture (the same file = the exact same conditions) with 4.11, that shimmer is gone and the lips are just flat. As I said; its the same with and without denoiser.

Is there a setting that has to be changed in 4.11 or is it a bug?

Uploading of pics failed but I have included links below.

Some days ago I created an outfit for Genesis 8, with high heels boots. I fitted them without problems, they're just fine. I saved them as Wardrobe and as Wearable, and there is where my questions start.

When I use content created by others artist their high heels shoes are Wardrobe items, and when I apply them they apply also a pose for the feet. But my Wardrobe don't do that. The Wearable apply the pose, and even I saved the H.Pose, but I don't know how to make that the Wardrobe boots apply the pose, instead of apply it manualy or with the H.Pose by myself. Can someone help me with that?

Is there a way to select PART of the specific surface which is covered by another surface?

Here is few pictures to show you what I mean...

1 picture - top part of veil surface is covered by head surface

2 picture - if I want to select top part of veil surface I still select head surface even if it is hidden (opacity 0)

Question: How to select top part of veil surface??

I want to create new surface for this part and make it invisible (that is the easy part but how to select it??)

also cube view controls are blank.

any suggestions  would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be grand.

Thank you

Or do the textures come with another set?

I was wondering if anyone has taken a G8 or even a G3 character and a set of high quality Daz textures (diffuse, normal, bump and spec) into Blender and managed to make a good looking principled bdsf skin texture with it? I took the textures from the product below because its the best quality ones i have, plus i hear that Raiya makes good textures anyways and i used those on a G8F character I imported into Blender.  However i'm having a hard time getting it to look good.  Probably cause i dont know what settings to use for the bump and normals.  I do also have the G8F skin builder so if needed i could use that to make the Leony textures a little more detailed by adding in pores or something. I also included a blender render of the character i've been working on.  It was my first time making a principled shader so i was pretty much just adjusting stuff and eyeballing the appearance.  But couldnt get it quite right cause wasnt sure what settings to tweak to get it to look right.

Not sure what suddenly is causing the plugin to behave in this manner as I've never seen it happen before.

I wrote the serial number in the "about installed plugins" and after hitting the little hook I've got that "This plugin must be registered to be enabled" message.

Can someone tell me where I have to do so? Thaaanks, Anja

I let DIM get the updates, which included DAZ 4.11, but apparently not the extra resources.  I close DIM, launch 4.11 to see if there was a quick readme about new features.  I close DAZ and go back to DIM.  It does not list anything installed now and lots of files ready to download, and apparently some already downloaded and ready to be installed. But 0 products installed.

So I go back to DAZ 4.11 and try to load an actor and I see all my content in the Smart Content pane.

How do I get DIM to remember all the content that is currently installed?

 I recently transfer morphs from Genesis 2 Apeworld to Genesis 3 Male. But when I tried using some poses the arms, legs and mouth began to mess up. I don't know what or why is this happening. Can someone please help me with this issue? Thank you

I am desperate and just wasted about 2 hours of time for nothing.

I want to transfer the old Girl Next Door (by blackhearted) to my Genesis 8.

I saw in a post that it is possible and also messaged the user.

So I installed Victoria 4, GND and Genesis to have all the bits and pieces I possibly need.

Then I tried GenX and seemingly wasted my money, since I couldn't even load Victoria 4 into it, since it says "Poser figure not supported", so after googling around and not finding anything, I went for the Freebie clone creation tutorial around here and followed that.

Now I have a Gen8 with V4 clone, but that's where the tutorial stops. I have no clue how to now get the GND morphs onto that, so I guess those steps were pretty useless to follow, since it's for clothing and stuff, but not for a morph injection?

So yeah, any help in getting to my goal would be appreciated. You can have the satisfaction of having saved several hours of a life, cause my anger probably shortens it.

Addition: I don't care if it's GND4.2, Anastasia or La Femme. I just like Blackhearteds style, but don't want to switch to Poser and also want to keep the other pro's of Daz Studio.

For starters, let me say what I've already done.  In my downloads folder, I started up a subfolder where I put all of my third party content, and then added this to the content directory in Daz.  For most third party content, at least when the creator did his due diligence, all I have to do is find the library folders (data, People, runtime, etc.) and put them directly into this subfolder.  From there, I can access them normally, at least in most cases.

However, I've gotten several zip files that either had loose files without any folders (and nothingin the Readme to say where to put them, or incomplete information), or seemed to lack important folders to make them work.

The biggest issue that I've had is with hair content, as these (and some other files, too) often only have Runtime folders.  Since you can't access Runtime folders from the Daz content directory (where I access all of my other third party content), I don't know how to properly install these so they're usable.  Can anyone offer some insight about what I should be doing if a third party creation only has a Runtime folder and nothing else?

Now as I wrote in my Edit 2, I now have the issue that it only works with a selfmade V4 clone dialed to 100%, but that means that also the head is now V4 shaped, while I would prefer to use my G8 headmorphs.

Before I go down a spiral of madness (again), I want to ask if anyone knows an easy solution to make it so the head can still be G8, while I have the V4 morph dialed in.

I have a GTX 1050 TI and a Intel Chipset but when i try to do something inside of (any) 3D Software my graphics card doesn't show the "perspective view" but if i launch it with my chipset it works but has enormous problems in keeping up. Any help?

And I can see (no reply) after the Daz studio 4.11 Pro logo.

like this what I attatched.

Whay should I do to fix it?

Thank you.

It feels like the entire universe is trying to keep me from being able to effectively use this thing.
