I've created a prop which has some rigging on it.  I'm trying to find out how to create an IK chain for a part of this rig.  I see references in older documentation to an "IK Chain Tool" but don't see it any where.  In the figure setup pane, I can right-click on a bone and I see the option for "Create IK Chain" but it is grayed out.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

i7  32 go ram / win 10  /ssd m2 nvme pci x4 / 2 * 2080ti

i have licens for octane render . (work in daz studio)

but no success to making Iray render in daz (last version of daz 4.10 pro)

on harware i chekc my graphique card  on photoreal device and interractive device .

i tried every thing , but its allways only use CPU .... WTF

if i unmark cpu and mark only 2 or 1 rtx , render dont work ...

my installation is new ; iam IT guy my computer have nothing ... work perfectly with poser (i use poser since poser pro 4 )

maybe its about my scene i looking to render i dont know ... but can i have help i tried with CPU and render is really good but take very very long time .. on octane take only few sec to render a scen but i dont success to have better render than Iray .

well if any one can help :) thx

i have a GTX980Ti hybrid and it works well https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAE8D8ZC5981&Description=980 ti hybrid&cm_re=980_ti_hybrid-_-14-487-144-_-Product

I render in Iray only. However, i wish to improve rendering speed/time. If I understand correctly, I go faster the more CUDA cores to process. Also if I have more ram, it will not need the cpu and render on the video cards gpu only making the render faster.

I have looked at the RTX 2080 series but there are too many mixed reviews. I cannot afford to get this wrong so I am going with what I understand to be tried and true but technically older technology.

I am interested in getting two GTX1080Ti. This will give me 6144 CUDA cores and 12 gb ram each https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAE8D7ZM7132

If I understand correctly, instead of 6gb ceiling of the gtx 980Ti now have doubled the ram and max out at 12gb.

my motherboard is an ASUS X99-A and appears to be able to use 2 cards. it states

3xPCI expresss 3.0/2.0 x 16 slots (single at x16, dual at x16/16)

I am not using anything else such as a M.2 card that uses the pci lanes.

I have an 800 watt power supply. the card draws 250 watts each. which leaves 300 left over. I have a 2011-v3 cpu that draws 140 watts.

My questions are these if buying 2 titans:

1, will my motherboard use the two cards for iray rendering?

2. I believe the only thing I have to do is disable SLI. Is there anything else I need to do?

3. If my system accepts two titans, would you recommend I upgrade my power supply which will be using at least 640 of the 800 watts provided? If so what size?

4. If I cannot afford 2 cards should I spend the money on 1 titan? I only get a few hundred more CUDA cores but I do double the ram and I do not have to upgrade my power supply.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I really like loading the default Genesis 3/8 model and play around with several People morphs to create new actors. Unfortunately, there are some nice characters on third party sites, that doesn't show up in the Genesis 3/8/Actor/People submenu. What can I do to make them show up there?

If i make a 2D game using my own renders (so rendered files, not 3D models) am I violating the DAZ License or is it possible?

Thank you.

Mattias.

My goal is to create a custom figure out of it so I can apply those morphs without extras (if I reset my library or something). Maybe achieve a single custom morph that changes head/body at once or to apply that figure directly. Either way is fine. 

I searched for similar topics but couldnt find any. I hope there is a way. 

TIA

Thanks!

I am using Daz Studio 4.6.3.52

I can see icons for the basic cats, and the LAMH versions in the Smart Content. They are under Figures (which took me a while to work out, I assumed they would be under Animals or Creatures, like other.. animals.)

The icons do have not actual cat images. If I click on any they inform me that a ,duf file does not exist.

I can see the Millennium cats in the Content Library, and CAN open any of the basic cat types from there.

But I have no idea how to make the cat furry if I do that. Where are the LAMH options in the Content Library?

I installed them with the usual Daz Install Manager so do not know why the Smart Content versions are not working. I have already tried reimporting all the metadata, that made no difference.

I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me, preferably in idiot-proof terms, how to just get to a furry cat.

Thank you very much indeed.

I was installing the DAZ 4.11 beta version on a new computer. I tried to change the installation paths in the DIM and the DAZ program (to use another SSD insteal of the default one). However i did something wrong changing the directories pats at DIM or DAZ and now i can't install any of my products. They are not even showing in the DAZ studio for installion.

 I tried to unistall both DAZ and DIM to reset the installation paths to default but somehow after i try to install DIM and DAZ again they are still using the new paths i tried to use.

Any i dea how i can fix that?  Or how i can do a reinstall without using the modifications i did?

Thank you 

Please assist. Thank you!

The basic geometry is two solid spheres with a smaller sphere at the center. The center sphere is the emissive "Emitter".

This image shows the figure with the Scene and Dome lights on. The emitter is on but the outer shells are solid and blocking the light. Works fine.

Once I turn the Dome lights off, and just have a mesh light illuminating the figure, it seems like the Emitter sucks the light out of the scene. This image is the same as the first, but with dome light lights turned off.

This image shows the outer shells turned to 0% opacity. You can see the emitter, but it still has the blackout effect.

This last image has the emissive surface applied to the outer shell.

After running many variations, It seems the blackout only occurs when the emissive light passes through another surface, even if that surface is at 0% opacity. And the light vacuum only effects other emissive lights (mesh lights) Spots lights are immune. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'd really like to get this aspect working.

It startes after installing Studio 4.10 Pro

Any one know about it ????????

I've noticed some renders have a nice white glow/shine on the characters skin. This clothing product in particular really does is in an extreme way, but I think you get my point. How the heck does this happen? What are people doing/product used to have that shine/glow? Also, pretty much everything from the pose guys (Zed something), has that shine in every product they sell, in case you aren't sure what I"m talking about. 

Any and all help is appreciated and please don't feel if you are insulting my intellligence by talking to me like a child. I am an idiot after all who needs stuff broken down. Thank you and have a happy Friday.

i do reset to content DB maintenance

but not fixed 

???

However, it would be great to also see or know what improvements have been made or what bugs have been fixed. 

Is there any way to see that???

thanks

Edit to replace Product Library link with store link

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled G8M / starrter kit and addon shape morphs just in case one of them caused the issue, but nothing seems to correct the issue.

Anyone has any clue on why the chest keeps getting wrinkled and distorted. I couldnt find any info looking this up here or on Google so I assume it may be my setup, although it does the same on 2 different rigs.

I do not have such issued with G8F, or G3M.

Any help is welcomed

attached file shows the issue. G8M base figure - no added morphs 

I just buy a rtx2080ti to replace my gtx1080ti. 

If i want to use both cards will that be possible on a motherboard that only support crossfire?

I have STL files. I take them into MeshLab. I then export an OBJ file. I import the OBJ file into DS.

Everything works, no issues so far.

Within DS if I try to apply a Shader to the OBJ, nothing really happens. If it is a basic shader (Color, settings), that generally works.

What doesn't work is any shader using an image map. Or any shader that has that procedural trickery to vary up the base color.

I have tried tiling, both up and down, to no avail. I've tried different import and export options, but no change.

It's almost like the OBJ file is in the scene, but not in the scene...?

I think it has something to do with the UV mapping. Like the OBJ doesn't have a UV map, so the image map file has no where to "hook" to.

Has anyone seen this and has a fix other than doing the reset?

Does anyone know how I can find and open Daz Studio?
