State of opening scene preview

Second Technician Rimmer — Thu, 30 May 2019 22:01:35 +0000

I can't seem to find how to get my ds to poen on a scene with the perspective view aimed upfront. Is there a way to make sure that when I shut down DS, it will save the current orientation of my views?

Keeping pose changes during animation

icouldbe65 — Thu, 30 May 2019 18:43:52 +0000

I know that if I load an animation up and use pose control to change some position on character, it will keep that change throigh out the animation. But not all characters parts can be moved by pose control, so when i change them with another way, then run animation, they go back to original position. ANyone have idea that will keep pose changes through out animation?

Background image not rendering

lukon100 — Mon, 27 May 2019 19:09:32 +0000

A scene I just purchased contains a background plane with an image on it. The image does not appear in my iRay renders.

The product is: Peaceful Corners – BASE ( https://www.daz3d.com/peaceful-corners-base )

How do I get that background image to render?

Where are the genesis 3 head morphs

andykarta — Wed, 29 May 2019 10:19:54 +0000

Everything's changed since 4.10. Now my facegen can't find where the base mesh is and where the morphs are for the gen3 head. Anyone have any ideas. Any log of how they randomized the files.

16x9 render size selected but end render smaller?

juantambor — Wed, 29 May 2019 14:05:33 +0000

Hi - I have an animation set up to render to 16x9 but but when it finishes it is smaller than 16x9. I get the same thing when I render it as 1 image. I verified I have 16x9 widescreen choosen in render settings but when I put it on a 16 x 9 photshop document it is much smaller. I am trying to use an image series from an animation using timeline. I want to be able to have a photoshop action do a few things on the image so its complicating things that the image has to be expanded in photoshop to cover the 16x9 background. Is there some other action I need to take to get it to output the 16x9 size? Thank you

Shape transfer eye distortion

fireblast — Mon, 27 May 2019 01:20:11 +0000

I have this https://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/?item_id=70433 for Genesis 1, and used GenX to transfer it to Genesis 2 and 3, and it worked fine for that (except for the morphs which reduce the number of fingers).

I tried to use the Transfer Utility and this https://www.dropbox.com/s/x2vcwnfu7w2wtj9/G8%20Morph%20TransfersR1.zip?dl=0 to transfer the morphs to Genesis 8, but when I do that there's wierd eye distortion. The eye distortion does not happen in Genesis 1, 2, or 3. Images are examples of the distortion, as well as without it on Genesis 1, 2, and 3.

Is there any way to either correct the distortion or transfer it in a way to prevent it from happening?

Eyelashes not rendered properly

Alien Alloy — Wed, 29 May 2019 13:12:14 +0000

Good day people.

I'm having some issue with a render.
As you can see for some weird reason the eyelashes on the model turn out soldi white.
In the preview inside DazStudio they are also solid, as if there was no texture assigned.

I've tried few thing, including loading IN the picture a brand new model, with the same textures and it works.
I tried to copy and paste the whole texture node from the working model to this one, but nothing happens.

It worked before, that's something I cannot understand.
I really do not wish to re-do the model cause it's already in an intricate scene and there is a tons of object on screen making it all very slow.

Oh I've also tried to re-apply the texture to the whole model, even using the 3d delight and then switch back to Iray, no luck.

I'm going to attach the settings as well, that I repeate: are the same as the new figure but on this old one they do not work.

I've also tried to reboot the program few times ... I've encountered some issues where for some reasons he didn't like to render with my gpu and went cpu only ... yee Daz...

Anyway!
Thanks in advance for any helps you can give me.

Beta version of Studio saves "Save As" mode only [Solved]

lukon100 — Wed, 29 May 2019 19:31:55 +0000

Whenever I click "Save", to doesn't just save the scene file. Instead, it behaves as if I had clicked "Save As",
by presenting me with a navigation window where I need to direct it to the folder where the file is, pick the file,
and then give it permission to over-write the file.

Annoying.

This is Beta version 4.11.0.366 Pro 64 public

I also have installed the 4.10.0.123 Pro 64

Could it be that the two versions make the Beta version "confused" about file ownership and permissions and associations or some such rot?

YELLOW FRAMEWORK

dash2128 — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 18:12:38 +0000

I may have covered this in a tutorial, but I cannot remember. The yellow transparent framework- or...whatever it is called- that appears when I move the cursor around...

...can I turn it on and off? At times, it interferes with the work I'm doing.

Another Question

Faeryl Womyn — Tue, 28 May 2019 13:45:52 +0000

I am installing Daz on a new computer and for the first time going through smart content and double clicking to install content. I went to the Documents folder to see how the folders were being places and there is no content folder, the only thing in My Daz Connect Library is a data folder with associated files and the other two folders have remain empty. (please see image) after installing Genesis Essentials and Genesis 2 Essentials and Aaron for Justin. So where are all the folders associated with these installs? Very confused as to what is going on here.

Now that I am getting stuff installed and I did check to make sure everything was done correctly and working. I have some files I am not sure I should be installing. I always get confused by this since Daz now includes many items in the program already. The image is three items I am not sure are necessary, oh and I don't use photoshop so really not sure about that goz one.

DAZ Studio and Organized Categories - Folders Listed, but no content

Visioneer — Tue, 28 May 2019 00:33:13 +0000

Hello, all.

I'm having a bit of an issue with my DS Organized Categories (Default Organization is terrible, with all the content I have.) I recently bought some items from both Renderosity and the DAZ3D store. After installing the content, I tried to organize all the content to my various categories. However, while the Renderosity goods show up in the Organized Categories just fine, the DAZIM products (while in my regular content library) show up, but when "Organized" only the folders show, none of the links for the morphs, textures, or models. Has anyone had this happen to them? I tried looking for a solution online, but nothing is coming up online. I tried searching the forums to no avail. I have enough HDD space left (over 50GB) and I'm confused as to why it's only today's DAZ3D purchases aren't showing up. Any input or idea would be greatly appreciated. I can add screens to illustrate what I'm talking about if anyone has trouble understanding. Thanks for your time.

Messed up ground in render

Xyetzt — Tue, 28 May 2019 20:46:49 +0000

What is causing the messup in the ground textures?

Why do my script shortcuts keep disappearing?

Knittingmommy — Mon, 27 May 2019 20:44:30 +0000

I don't know if this is a glitch or just something strange with my setup. I've created custom actions for several scripts I use often so they are on the menu under a scripts header on the File menu. They stick for a few days and then they disappear so I don't have any Scripts section on the File Menu. Am I doing something to inadvertently get rid of them or is this a Daz Studio glitch I'm unaware of?

I'm currently using Daz 4.10.0.123 in Windows 7.

Aux Viewport Iray Preview slower than molasses

vonHobo — Sun, 26 May 2019 22:51:54 +0000

When I select the NVIDIA Iray preview in the Aux Viewport it seems to take forever to show the preview.

It says "Preparing Scene ... " in the status bar at the bottom of the workspace and the yellow progress bar cycles over and over again.

I'm not lying when I say that I can get a faster image to render by doing the full image render in the Viewport itself.

I thought the whole purpose of the Aux Viewport was to get a quicker preview of the finished render scene, lights, etc.

What is the point of using it if it takes longer than an actual full render?

Do I have some sort of setting wrong or something?

I have a state of the art Alienware Desktop, just purchased 6 months ago, with 32 GB RAM. So I don't get it.

Help with tattoo using L.I.E

dijitaq — Tue, 28 May 2019 20:59:11 +0000

Hi all,

I have made my own tattoo design to be placed on the middle of the back of the model i am using. I can never get the alignment right, and it would end up having the middle of the tattoo overlap or ending up with a gap. Is there a template I could use to correct the alignment or is there a method I should know about?

Can we sell exported figures now???

mikephoneguy_912d8d7dbb — Tue, 28 May 2019 14:52:34 +0000

I am just curious about this because I’m pretty sure sure this is straight up genesis 8 for sale? If we can sell exported figures, what are the requirements to do so? Is this what the interactive license allows you to do?

thanks in advance for any insight.

Link removed

What are these and how do I get them out of my content pane?

Obsidianpoet — Mon, 27 May 2019 14:24:03 +0000

A million years ago Studio had some kind of remove orphans thing in the content manager. I can't find that. I'm rocking 4.10 and 4.11 Beta. These are not "extra" things in my folders. I checked. The problem with some of the stuff I have is that there is the actual item and then one of these empty things. It's just annoying. A lot of it is on items that were made with the clothing converters, but some of it is NOT...just regular stuff that suddenly no longer has a picture. Is there a clean up orphans thing anymore?

I briefly got them to go away once, but they came back. No clue how I got rid of them. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

Thanks!

DAZ 4.10 : Main Toolbar has disappeared?

TATSU 3D — Tue, 28 May 2019 13:06:04 +0000

Hey everyone,

I've opened up DAZ today to fond that my main toolbar has mysteriously vanished - I havent changed any settings or anything recently so I have no idea why it should have gone?

This is the one I'm talking about:

If anyone can tell me where this is located in the menus so I can re-add it to my UI, I'd really appreciate it!

Cheers,

Most items in bundle not appearing in DAZ

tomodachi — Mon, 27 May 2019 10:19:44 +0000

So I recently downloaded this bundle https://www.daz3d.com/m4-hero-pro-pack, but when I open DAZStudio, only two of the items in the bundle appear. I tried redownloading everything multiple times, but none of the other products appear in DAZStudio when I look for them. Does anybody happen to know why this may be? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks

My keyboard suddenly stopped working... SOLVED (googled it)

handel_035c4ce6 — Tue, 28 May 2019 02:10:00 +0000

My keyboard suddenly stopped working... Nothing works - F2 etc, Delete... it is like there is no keyboard at all. Which is obviously not true as I type from it right now. Restarting the PC and the DS doesn't help.

Please advise.

Edit: I googled it and found other ppl had the same problem. I solved it but beats me why this happened.

A small problem with Ambient settings

Ryuu@AMcCF — Mon, 27 May 2019 12:30:03 +0000

I'm trying to make a scene with the sun peeking through behind a planet's atmosphere--(love the Dynamic Lens Flare from ThePhilosopher, btw!)

But I'm having problems getting the prop I made for the atmosphere to render out--it's there, but way too dark and barely visible.

I tried with giving the Ambient the same spectral image map as the Specular setting; I tried with removing the image map from Ambient; I even tried with upping the Abient to 500%.

But nothing seems to improve.

I'd like the rendered image to have the atmosphere prop as bright as it is in the DS stage preview window. Any suggestions?

Thank,

Ryuu

GenX with M4/V4 Morphs

gitika1 — Mon, 27 May 2019 19:38:32 +0000

I was able to successfully transfer a philopher's hyena to G3. However, the tongue was a mess; sticking out of the jaw in a couple of places. If someone could provide tips to adjust for this, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there a way to use the original surfaces with the character?

Thank you.

4.11.0.366 BETA will not render Iray with Titan X (Pascal) and 417.35 drivers

Is there a way to transfer a root node adjustment to the hip node, without everything moving?

Those Things — Sat, 25 May 2019 15:25:06 +0000

So, I just finished up this paired pose, and only then noticed I forgot to zero out a rotation on the root node of the figure on the left. Unfortunately, I have made a whole bunch of adjustments to the hip node of that figure, and now--when I zero out this adjustment--my figure reorients itself in space, and the pose is broken. Is there a way to salvage this? Some way to zero out this rotation, but still keep my figure in the same orientation in space (only rotated of course) or do I have a whole lot of finagling ahead of me to get this pose back together?
