The main problem I have with Daz on my laptop is I need to be picky with the hair & clothes I use on characters; otherwise movement & control manipulation in the viewport becomes real slow/laggy. This gets irritating when trying to fit the items properly on characters. Which would give a better improvement in this area: a higher clockspeed with fewer cores or more cores in the CPU? I was thinking about an X299 system, but they're a bit more expensive and I would rather put that extra money aside towards an additional graphics card later on.

There doesn't seem to be any documentation for this product either. 

Does anyone know what the steps are to use this?

I have a problem with the import of file fbx I can not import them. when i do "import" and I Click on my file fbx a small window opens for less than a second without having time to let me see what is written then nothing happens nothing model has not been imported,

thank you for your help.

I must not be using this product properly, because when I select the clothing item in the scene tab and then apply the shader (by double-clicking) in the Smart Content tab, nothing happens. 

Does anyone know what the steps are to use this?

Do I need to select something in the Surfaces tab for the wardrobe item? 

Sorry I'm so new to this type of shader.

i was wondering if there is a way to “extract” skin from a specific character. I don’t need morphs or other things, just a skin and everything needed to apply it. I have over 40 older gen characters which I’m not gonna use anymore as I switched to G8, but I would like to use their skin. 

Also, what would be the easiest way to create my own skin, especially for younger characters (my skin-range is currently covering adults and older people, but no children). I guess I could smoothen out some skon textures or start from scratch?

What effect is there on iRay render performance if the card is running in x4 or x8 mode instead of the full x16?

Can mining rig equipment be used effectively for iRay renders?  Specifically, equipment that has one or more cards connecting through a PICe x1 slot in order to allow additional cards.  (Examples : Newegg.com, and Amazon.com )

Thanks for any help.

I would like to purchase it to go along with the figure.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks

What can I do to correct this?

Thank you in advance!

I have mostly used HDR's as lighting - my computer has no cuda cores so rendering can be a rather drawn out affair.

Just now I have decided to do a quick reference render of the various human mats so that I can refer to these prior to setting up a scene for rendering. For speed and simplicity I decided to use the camera headlight. I am more than surprised at the huge increase in the detail visible in these renders, they are photographic quality, and some take only a matter of minutes to complete.

So, I would be greatful for advice on how to transfer some of this detail and speed to to the rendering of a scene.

I've followed the instructions in the Daz's tutorial video and made sure all of the settings match up, but when I hit "Simulate," Studo goes into "not responding" and freezes up. After that, i have to use the task manager to shut it down.

Has anyone run into this before, and how did you fix it?

So I want to move the eyes higher in the face than the limit. I have tried opening the gear and turning limits off. I have also tried leaving limits on and raising the max. I have also right clicked on the parameter and chose to turn the limits off. I have also put to unhide that way as I read on another part of a forum.

The problem is, although the slider will go up, after 1 it does nothing. I have tried looking on this forum, but either it's because this is a higher public build, or because I'm not understanding, something is wrong.

also as a side note, does it matter whether you are in the parameter tab or shaping tab? I've tried it both.

ETA: This is with Genesis 2

What/where am I overlooking?  The Product page does mention a complete collection of morphs, expressions so maybe a reinstall is called for?

I could not import or open any assets in my daz studio.

when I import an assets.

I appears like this.

what should I do? 

If I use this, I can use the utilities to hide the feet, BUT some of the peices still poke through at the ankles or there abouts. ideas?

What are Character Addons?
How can I edit or remove any extra character addons that I don't want?
How did they get added there in the first place?

Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thank you
