Just bought a new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, and it's making Iray render "blank and transparent" images.

I have my drivers installed, but still nothing happens and won't render.

Please, can someone help me?

I added items for Ironman13's sale to the cart, the number of items is displayed on the cart symbol but the cart is empty.

Do you want my money or not?

It has no rigging.  Can someone please tell me if it's even possible to do this without rigging the item?

Any idea how to fix this ? (Other than having to cancel the target camera and pose eyes for each individual render)

Thanks !

Then I tried all of the hierarchical brow colors in Tess Eyebrows, but none of them work. There is no error in the log file, and if I hover over Undo, it doesn't show that they applied. I'm in NVidia Iray mode, not Texture Shaded. The other presets work fine, such as eye colors, lips, and makeup (although they are not hierarchical).

I'm accessing the presets through Content Library not Smart Content. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Just a note that there is no separate brow object in the scene tab.

Another issue I want to a dress is when I move my figure the morph of the outfit looks completely off?

CURRENT CONFIGURATION of my Alienware R2 17 laptop:

• C Drive: 256 GB SSD is the boot drive with Win 10 (there are almost no apps installed on this drive).
• D Drive: Daz Studio and My Content Library (along with almost all of my other apps) are installed on a 1 TB hard drive (7200 rpm).

NEW CONFIGURATION & ACTIONS:
- I am cloning the old SSD boot drive to the new SSD, then using software tools to increase the size of the partition (I've done this before on other systems without issue – in fact, Acronis software makes it downright easy!).
- I will then remove the old (small) SSD.
- I will then uninstall Daz Studio from the D drive.
- And then install a fresh copy of Daz Studio onto the new SSD C drive.

Now, I do not want to have to redownload all my content (6,000+ items!). I would just like to move the content libary to the new SSD drive.
If I've read correctly, I should be able to copy the content over and then use the DS interface to point to the content library.

Is this correct? Is there anything else that I need to be mindful of in this scenario?

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

But in this way anything that is not a Iray display will look black. The automatic camera headlamp needs to be off also or will affect lighting

Any solution other than  switch of-on continuosly the headlamp?

Is there a way to have the texture change as part of the animation. Like when I have a body part move?

I've attached an image example; on the left is the original render I did before this problem happened. On the right is the result I get now. This deformation is visible as soon as I load the scene.

Does anyone know why this happened and how I can fix it? I've tried using the Install Manager to uninstall, delete, and re-download the Genesis 8 Male Starter Essentials and it hasn't helped.

Has anyone else run into this, and are there any suggestions for a fix?

I'm looking for suggestions on how I can smooth just the shoulders on a character.

As you can see (and most of us are used to), the shoulders have this weird angular blocky-ness to them.

I know switching to a higher subdivision level solves it, but like to use the lower resolution base model if possible.

I've tried using the zone smoother product, but it really doesn't work right in this case. Adding enough iterations to smooth the shoulders means they also go weird and low down.

Can ayone offer any other suggestions on how this could be done?

any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

- When I tried to get an Iray preview, the scene I got was empty. Both characters were still there because they became highlighted when I moved the cursor over them.

- Rendering the scene causes Daz to render for about 5 minutes, do about 35 iterations and then jump directly to 100% and finished render: An empty space.

- As soon as I make the Drago Hair invisible, the Iray preview works again

I'm a bit at a loss here as to what could be causing this since I never had any issues with any kind of hair assets, dForce or static.

EDIT:  Duh... "... two hours to complete..."    I merged the scene with partial scene setup and the render setings were set to default.  Max Time = 7200 seconds.

Maybe I should take a break.

I get random black pixels around the eyes, whenever I render my figure in IRay...

no matter what I try, those don't go away and keep getting more the longer I let it render...
tried all variants of different settings

does anyone have any idea what causes this and how to get rid of it?

Follow on question.  For other renders and uses, Is it possible to make this emissinve light (object) not visible in surface reflections like chrome or mirrors?

Thanks

I used the recent version of Install Manager to install it, yet I cannot find the environment either under the Smart Content nor the Content Library.  When I do a file search, I can locate all the lighting presets for winterbeach, but there are no other content files I can find.  None of the light presets will load the scene into the Viewport (expected).

I went back and manually reinstalled the purchased content, went into the Conentent DB Maintenance and reimported all Metadata, but still can't find it.

Am I missing something?

Certainly, the Dosch 3D HDRI products are well known and respected so I have no doubts about the quality of these backgrounds. I assume I'm missing something with regard to how I use these HDRI images with Daz Studio to make them work properly. Can anyone with more experience using HDRI imagery in Studio help me out? Many thanks!

I'm sure this question has come up many times before so I apologize in advance for repeating it, but let me provide just some of my particulars, followed by a question. Back in 2017, I purchased a Dell XPS 8920. At the time, Dell was building them with 2 hard drives, I don't know why. The smaller one, which was only 256GB was desginated as drive C, to which all programs, operating system and files were installed on. The other one, which was 2TB, remained largely used. At first, I didn't worry about it, but as you can imagine, it quickly filled up. At present, I currently have over 594 items installed through DAZ install manager! 

The technicians, I spoke to yesterday at Dell indicated that my only really option at this point is simply to errase everything, change the D drive to C and reinstall everything. Why Daz didn't set it up that way to begin with baffles me!! However, I'm willing to do that but here's my question. Would I still be able to open all the Daz files which I have already created or would I lose access the those as well? I though doing this might effect the path directory that Daz Studio uses to read the file but I'm not sure.

Any comments, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I really want to know, if there is a way to have a object in my scene be visible only in the render. Is there a way to do this? :)

For example, the avator of me to the left is G2M based using several different base characters plus some custom morphs. Is there a SIMPLE way to make it a G8M based character having the same apperance?

I've been trying to make some shorts I created in MD fit a Genesis 3 character as conforming clothing using the Transfer Utility.

What happens is the garment drops so that the crotch is down towards the knees. So I found a previous thread which is here  -  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/87901/clothing-and-transfer-utility-problem.

I tried Gederix's advice which is this

Select G1/G2 and then the item with ctrl+click in Scene Tab (in this order).   Click on the tiny icon that looks like three lines and a triangle to the upper right of this.  Activate Edit—Rigging—Transfer Rigging (Figure Space).  Now it should be fitted to G1/G2 properly but still have its extra bones.

Now when I try this, the garment goes up to where it should be but - it's now shrunk so that the torso part of the shorts is only as wide as the legs. It disappears into the figure.

The last part of Gederix's advice is this - "Save the clothing item to library and reload.  Do not move or morph G1/G2 before you do so."

My problem is I can't work out how to actually do this. There's no apparent way I can see to select just the garment and save it and when I try deleting the figure in the hope that the garment will hang around to be saved to the library, the garment disappears as well.

I threw together an example using just the base color layer that I painted in Blender.  The seam was there in my 320x320 render, but not in the 640x640 one.  It has to be something in texture optimization...how would I go about fixing this in 3Delight?

There's always the tried-and-true, 'render at higher resolution, then downscale' method, but that would add a considerable amount of time to the workflow (And strangely enough, I'd been finding that rendering at the target resolution was producing better results than the aforementioned approach).

I'm a relative newcomer to Daz Studio and to 3D rendering in general, however I have a simple question for which I can find no answer.

Is there any way to reset or zero the bounding box on a character without affecting the character itself?

That is, after rotating a character, how do I zero the bounding box so that it is correctly aligned to the world axis? I know it can be done because I have many poses where the bounding box is zeroed despite some obvious rotations to the figure (such as when lying on their side), however I have many more poses where the creator seems to have "forgotten" to reset the bounding box.
