Just the viewport that looks like that, anybody knows what`s going on and how to fix this?

This is daz 4.11 public build

My normal version works fine.

My question is, seeing as I have absolutely no need for 2 660's in the older computer, would it be of any benefit at all to move the second 660 to the newer computer and use it just for its cuda cores to speed up iray rendering?  If so, the only driver that is available for the 6xx series is the game ready driver, not the studio driver as that's for 10xx and above only it seems.  I do use the computer for games, FO4 and the like, and haven't noticed any significant impact while gaming using the studio drivers, however it did improve my render times.  Would switching to the game ready drivers and installing the 660 be of any benefit at all?  I just hate tearing down two computers and moving the card over if I'm not going to see any improvement, or even slower speeds if I switch drivers.

Thanks!

I just want to draw patterns on a simple primitive like a cube. How do I do it? I can do it whenever objects have texture maps, like clothes for example.

I've found a bunch of tutorials for unwrapping UV stuff in Hexagon, but I couldn't figure that mess of a software out and I don't even know if that's needed here at all.

I'm soon to buy a brand new desktop for my DAZ3D venture and noticed that AMD are soon to release some awesome new hardware, Ryzen processors and Navi GPU's.

(Scheduled for July 7th)

My main question is: Will this new hardware work nicely with the DAZ3D software and enable lightning fast rendering etc/?

(I guess there will be teathing problems but that's not unexpected).

Happy to pile a shed load of money into this new hardware IF it all works well together with the software.

Any feedback is most welcomed.

Thanks, N.

Here's what I've done:

• exported meta-data from my old machine by going through content database maintenence
• transferred the user data to the new machine
• and re-imported meta data through content database maintenance

And here's what's worked and what hasn't:

• The user-created categories transferred just fine, and files I had placed in those categories are showing up in the user-created categories like I want them to. However, these files (which had been moved out of lost & found) are also appearing in Lost & Found.
• The metadata I've added has transferred inconsistenly. Information I added (using the Edit Metadata function) under "Type" didn't transfer at all, and metadata I added to "Compatability" has transferred in a few products, but not in most
• Weird orphan references are randomly appearing in smart content and my content library on the new computer, and I'm not sure how to remove most of them.

Really, really hoping someone can help!

Respectfully, how do you edit the template or create a new blank slate? If not for any other reason than personal use.

I ask becuase clearly the template is flawed and that it's locked from creating or altering says this is an area that cannot be used by PA or potential use by content creators. 

Let's point out the right click controls which smartly and realistically should be used to rotate the limbs while the left click should be used for bending. This is a concept I used often over the last 7 years when creating the templates for your legacy based figures.

Yes all the additional controls are great and nice to have but when little features don't flow with past versions shouldn't be we able to make our own changes? Again, if not for personal use.

Because I have Daz3D on a separate drive I have to do a manual install and not use DIM. I've downloaded the .exe and tried several times to install it to the drive where DAZ lives, however, evertime it gets to the part where 'Installing Content Managment Services' occurs it just hangs and hangs and hangs and hangs....... I've left it running now for over 30 minutes and it still says 'installing' ... Surely it isn't supposed to take this long ?

So I've now given up trying to install 4.11.

That's when I started getting the Postgree SQL error. 

This is not the first time I have this error, but last time I ended up doing a complete fresh OS install. I am not willing to do this again but I don't know why DAZ does that. And it's only DAZ, all other programs don't have an issue at all conneting to internet ( I have Adobe CC and I can connect there just fine). 

Please advise me of any possible cause or ways to fix it.

Here are few things I've checked so far: 

There is no firewall turned on and DAz has all the network permssions.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the SQL in Install Manager and then restart computer.

Thank you in advance.

Perhaps someone could help me with some annoying problem I encounter in DAZ Studio 4.11 Pro Public Build. (I render with 2x GTX 1080)

When the scene has more than two Genesis 3 figures, sometimes with only two G3 figures, the Post Denoiser doesn't work when rendering. I've checked and triple cheked that it is enabled, default settings, and I render at 1920X1080 resolution. 

It simply doesn't work, it renders normally as if it was disabled, with the grainy rendering.

Has anyone encounterd a similar problem? Is there a way to fix it? An does someone knows why it happens?

(I run DAZ on a Windows 10 64bits computer with 48GB RAM)

I've just purchased the Gangsta HDRI Iray pack and I can't view the image in my viewport so I know where to place models etc. It renders great, but I can't see what I'm about to render, if that makes sense to you?

Any help would be great, thanks.

What do I do to get my purchase back in this case? I really don't want to search through all my disks to find it, I have literally hundreds of them.

This time I am asking about how to properly set up my G2F (haven't tried on G3 & G8 yet) to create a particular animation. If anyonen is familar with belly dancing, they have the one move called belly roll, I linked a video to show it. The problem is getting the model to do that with the stomache. Poses don't work, tried using the morph dials with a tiny bit of success though haven't quite got it yet. Problem is how to get that into animate 2 for an animation and be able to use on other models.

Sometimes , I want to take off the G8's trousers only to thin or knee.

I have heard that it can be easy done in [Marvelous Designer]

So I wonder if there is a method to transfer G8 with cloth on her into [Marvelous Designer],

and take off the trousers half to knee in [Marvelous Designer],

and finally transfer the trousers morph back to DAZ's trousers?

If it could ,where can I find the function in DAZ ?

I logged in again through the my Account button in Daz but still nothing, 

would someone have a solution for this error?

thank you! (hoping I dont have to reinstall)

I don't want the shape of the actor to change, only the outfit (it's too tight). I don't need to adjust individual parts, just a slight increase in overall size would work.

Is there a simple way to do this directy in DS without a lot of exporting and importing?

Are the lower eyelids part of the eye socket? Does something have to be adjusted? (base color, for example??). Or are the lower eyelids part of something else? Can they be accessed individually?

Or is there something else that might be causing this?

Put a room with characters and everything comes out too dark.

What do I need to do in order have enough light inside the rooms and buildings?

Thank you

...so the character would move on the screen (if an aniblock was used, for example), but no frame box would surround them?

I clicked it and the tool graph apeared but seemed to have no interaction with the charactor I had chosen. I tried using the graph on a blank screen thinking maybe the program would create 

the charactor. nothing. I then went to Library/ EmmaAnd Jordi/ --about four other folders labled "EJ /eas/Gene/ FE,"-- and found an icon that read "Install Menu EJEFG8F." ...nothing...I went looking and finally found the tutorial in documents but it only mirrored what was said in the advert. I hope you feel my frustration and I would apreciate any help I can get.

thank you.

I came in eagerly this morning to see the results of an overnight render only to find that Windows had helpfully installed updates last night and re-booted.  Le Sigh.  Forgot to turn that feature off.  But it's not just Windows, of course.  Lost another render to a power outage last week.  So as I sit down to start it up again, I was wondering if there was some checkbox somewhere that I am missing?  It seems silly that I have to be here to push the save button, and although what I really want is for it to do the equivalent every 1000 iterations or something.
