There appear deep grooves at the top of the legs, and the belly squishes up and forms a sharp ridge down the centre. Is there a way preventing or fixing this? (I thought it was a result of a particularly muscular morph, but it seems to happen with all variations including the standard figure).

]]> SimTenero Iray Memory Assistant https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/329576/simtenero-iray-memory-assistant Mon, 27 May 2019 14:43:13 +0000 SBibb 329576@/forums/discussions I just picked up SimTenero's Iray Memory Assistant to try to see if I can figure out the general size of a scene for a graphic card so I can see if I'm getting the right size card in the long run.

But one scene that I try to run the script on doesn't show anything (one of my more items-intense scenes).

I run the script, and it shows it trying to load, but nothing pops up with screen information.

 

The log file shows this (not sure if I got the right section, but it was the most recent):

I'm acheiving my comic book after about one year of work \o/ 
For now , the first volume has been classified "secret" , because it's for my bro's birthday :) So , I wanted to acheive this one so it could be a true object of discussions , art direction , dialogs etc. 
Well , I did many tries to have an homogenic art direction. It's my first comic book , so it's extremly difficult to get satisfaction. I wanted to have something close to the halftone process that belongs to manga , with a mix of 3D, outlines , etc. 

So I tried many shaders , many tutos I've found on the web. Sometimes, like for "manga shaders", that was too late... I would have had to prepare all my models with this shader , but the delay was too short and I took it too late, the project was too advanced. 


Here is an example (my question is coming , I just want to explain in details, to be the clearer as possible) of what I did for a first try. 
I rendered the scene with "Graphic Art cameras" halftone process. And next , I rendered the outlines with tooncam, and assembled in photoshop. 

Maybe my halftone is a bit bigger, but I'm not quite sure it's the main poblem lol , now I would want to select zones and reboot the look with a more manga look-alike, based on gradients , etc. 
And , now , my question : Is there a meaning to render only zones , as a depth map , or this kind of things ? Is there some kind of process to only obtain delimited color mass that could help me selecting zones easier than If I do it with hand-selecting. 

I'm not sure if I am clear. 

I want to render all the diffuse maps as color zones so I could select them to redesign the look with specific gradients , etc. 

Could somebody help ?  Thanx a lot. 

 

*edit : I've found an example of what I'm talking about : 

Is something like that possible ?

I have not found anitblocks for sale that include the movements I need so I am starting to create my animation with poses in animate2. in my first scene I have a character waving, smiling, blinking and then will have a line of dialoge. I thought it would be best to create an anitiblock with the waving, save it, then make a anitblock for blinking since I will need that blinking movement a lot in other scenes, and then combine them using layers. My 1st antiblock looked fine in Animate2 but after saving it, when I open it and try to apply, the character moves in a tilted like way. I tried doing this a few times and made sure I had no camera movement  - but it keeps happening. I am starting with the same scene I used to create the antiblock.  

 Please see screenshots attached in a power point document.  Is there something I am doing wrong that makes the character tilt like this? I can try to re-orient the character to start the saved antiblock but when I start having scenes with multiple characters that doesn't seem like it will work as a fix.

Any suggestions would be much appreicated!  thanks

I am wondering if it is compatable with Genesis 1 & Genesis 2 UV maps.

Sadly I cannot tell if they do or do not work in the demo. But they at least show up as a importable model type.

But because it wont let me export UV maps in the demo version, I cannot tell if they will be up to par in terms of them fitting and wrapping properly in Daz3D.

I do want to buy it, but I dont want to if the finished UV map I make wont wrap proper with most legacy Genesis models.

Anyone with experiance that can verify it working proper with Genesis 1 & Genesis 2?

I have purchased plenty of items from Daz store and other stores as well and they are taking wuite a lot of space. So what I was thinking is extracting zip folders with installers (DIM compatible ones), deleting 3Delight materials, unnecessary files etc and repacking them back with the same name they had before. I reckon that would save me about 30-40% of the space it’s using now. I store my installers on a separate drive and only need them when reinstalling. 

 

Would that work? 

If not, what would be the best way to reduce each items’ file size?

We are trying to build the ULTIMATE RENDER PC! (And you might have some ideas how to make it happen.)

Rendering High Quality animations takes a lot of time. Currently we have 2 PC's only rendering animations.

ANIMATION PC CONFIG:
GPU - 4x 1080ti (connected with risers)
RAM - 32 GB
CPU - i7 8700k
PSU: 2x 1000 wat 

The problem is that wen we connect more than 4x 1080ti Daz3D becomes unstable and when rendering it usually crashes or resets.
Has anyone successfully and stably ran Daz3D with 5 or more cards? 
If so what can you please tell us how? And what's your CONFIG? 
Do you know what could be the bottle neck causing the PC with more cards than 4 cards to crash?
Do you have any other suggestion on what we should update for the PC to render faster? (Please don't suggest 2080ti it's not optimized for Daz3D. And dont suggest optimizing the scene. )

I have no problem installing content in the Poser Runtime - it shows up just fine inside DAZ Studio. But I am having trouble with the (3rd Party) DAZ Runtime folder. If I install something in a Props folder outside of the Runtime folder - it shows up inside DAZ Studio. But if I install something inside the DAZ Runtime> Library> Props folder - it never shows up in DAZ Studio. Likewise nothing shows up from the other folders in that Runtime.

Because of this, if I download something that has both Poser and DAZ files, I always have to opt for installing the Poser versions. I would rather use the DAZ Studio versions.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get the DAZ compatible files to show up inside DAZ Studio?

So my question is, can I use Ron's Edge Grunge with Photoshop Elements, or do I need to get the full Photoshop CS software?

Photoshop Elements supports brushes and frames, so not sure if it's just somehow getting this product into Elements another way, or if it simply will not install unless I get CS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really want to use the Ron's Edge Grunge and I would hate to have to return it. I am a painter, and I don't require the full Photoshop software, which is why I originally had purchased the Photoshop Elements software.
