Thanks :)

i would love to see some answers.

But since upgrading to 4.9.3.166 this function has been very unreliable. It works for a while, for a camera and then it stops working, the camera only aim itself at the object but does not close in. Sometimes it helps deleting the camera and add a new secondary camera into the scene, but sometimes not even that work.

Now what has happened to the View Frame (LMB) Aim (RMB) function. Does it not work as earlier? And why? And is there something else to use instead?

Did not pay a lot of attention this morning ( Easter ) and I think it downloaded and installed an update.

Now, I can load a pre-saved character, pose and set for an iRay render. Press the Render button, and it runs for about 1 second and says finished. But the viewport is blank. Not black, just blank. Like it rendered nothing. I'd like to think this is a setting somewhere but I have no idea. Tried many things. Finally re-installed v4.11 BETA public. Still does not render. Installed v4.10 and it will not run! No error. Just won't load apparently.

Went back to v4.11 BETA and it runs, just won't render.

Anyone have an idea I can try?

Does anyone know what else needs to be done? 

Thanks!

But when I create a new Genesis 3 model, it seems to add every character that I've ever bought in the Parameters menu; and when I look at my old Genesis 3 model, it also has every character that I've ever bought. Some parameters on my old Genesis 3 model (pot belly, tough guy head) AREN'T in my new Genesis 3 parameters... How do I add those? I tried copying the 'tough guy head' but it simply copied the old pose.

So, simply put, how do I discern which character I'm using?

thank you...

With march madness going over, I know own a lot of poses, which is nice... Not so nice are some of them, e.g. "Mage and Apprentice", but there are some with  the same issue.

When I apply some poses, the figure seem to "jump" to a certain location, and the Zero-Point, where, for example, the Y-Rotate is centered, stays elsewhere, sometimes over 100 units away from the figure. I know, that those poses are meant for one certain envoirment, where the figure then automatically goes to a certain spot...

...but is there a way to trick these poses into being "usable anywhere"?

Thank you in advance!

Some stuff I bought recently hasn't been downloaded on Install Manager although I clicked on "Download and Install". Do I have to install them manually and how can I do it? (It concerns Acoustic & Electric Guitars Bundle and Guitar & Microphones w/ Poses)

Thank you in advance.

I also have Daz 4.10 installed, and it  is rendering fine from my Titan Z.

This problem started sometime within the past week.  I have had limited time to render and troubleshooty until the weekend.  Initially, I thought I was just using a scene that was too large.

dForce is working fine using the 2080.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Help?

Edit. :

Ah, I managed to work it out, I think, from the Smart Content hierachy,  Default/Wardrobe/Underwear/Bottoms but it doesn't work, that is it doesn't work as a wearable. It's just an object floating in the scene near the figure. I'm obviously missing something like 'Follower'. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'd sill like to know how to use that list though for future options.

Could you fix this asap, please?

When I try to save a pose for Baby Tobyn using pose extractor in pose architect he becomes distorted with a huge head. This feature is a great time saver... I am hoping there could be something I can do.

It works fine for the M8's in the scene and other male figures. Pics attached.

I wanted to know what effect [Models with really high poly/vert counts?]this has on render times for both pics and animations in Daz3ds and also in Blender.  I'm seeing a lot of my products with high poly/vert counts on the export screen.  Like the figure i am working with right now has 96k polys for hair, 40k polys for a pair of combat boots, and 196k polys (414k verts) for a small patch of pubic hair.  In comparison the G8F body has 16k polys/16k verts.

Aren't those numbers a bit excessive? wont they affect render times by quite a bit?  some of these products have interactive licenses right? so that means they can be used in games and stuff? so people could be using these models for a picture render, an animation or for a game engine. A lot of the high poly stuff does look really nice but is it always necessary to make it high poly? especially on something like a small patch of hair?

This isn't the first mysterious spell of non-functionality this particular script has had, which is why I suspected something like this might happen.  I never could figure out what random thing I may have done that magically triggered it to work again the last time, but in my experience, it's almost as if the slightest change to my system runs the risk of either fixing it if it's broken or breaking it if it's working.  I've even interacted with DAZ tech support for a few rounds, and the solution came not from them but from the seemingly random fluke that presumably broke it in the first place.

Here we go again!  I welcome any advice, especially since my ability to continue rendering depends largely on complete DSON functionality.

instead of spending Days or probably weeks to sort this mess out and reposition every object.

Is there a easy way to position the objects where they should be?

obviously this is not a car its a building kit LOL

Problem 2 is that the objects cant rotate in a normal way around its own axis,making it even harder to try to position them.

axis are all over the place and as an example the Y axis are not Y its Z here.

i heard about rigging but i dont know exactly what it does and why you even need it?

Quick question about the following product:

https://www.daz3d.com/wastelander-for-genesis-3-male-s

I am fitting the outfit to a Genesis 8 Male figure, and the whole wardrobe fits perfectly. The boots are the only item that appear weird, as if there below the feet.

I have tried everything I can think of but there are no adjustments for the boots, and when you "fit to Genesis 8 Male" and then choose originally made for Genesis 3 Male in the drop down, the boots get screwed up. The rest of the clothing works just fine this way.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this?? It's a really cool outfit but it looks ridiculous in bare feet. :)

Where are normal,bump,matelness,roughness，sss maps？？I've searched the whole internet and the only way seems to be manually dragging and dropping....

Please tell me there is a way to save my life,please,i don't even care whether these tex maps go with the models,i just wish them can be packged together when my work in Daz is finished,please tell me how.

I am currently working on making a custom figure which I hope to sell at a marketplace.  For cornea, I'd like to use DAZ Iray water-thin shader preset (which is installed with Daz Studio as shader_presets/iray/daz_uber/water - thin.duf).  If I apply this shader preset to my figure's cornea and save the material of the whole figure in a material preset duf file, the saved file includes the values from the DAZ Iray water-thin shader preset.  I'm not sure if DAZ is OK with me redistributing these values in my own product.  I would appreciat it if someone who has dealt with this question can shed a light on this.

If this is not OK with DAZ, then I need to see if I can write a script to apply Water-thin preset.

Thanks,

Winston
