No Body Scale

greenhornet_7a2f58f2ba — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 18:37:36 +0000

I've recently bought Victorian Innocence but found that it lacks scaleing for the body and most other parts. I've tried reloading the bundle and the problem persists. Can a patch be provided?

Tutorials for Classic Long Curly Hair with dForce Location

direSin — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 10:58:53 +0000

Can someone please tell me where these tutorials are located? I purchased the product and it's suppoesd to come with 5 video tutorials but I can't find them for the life of me and I can't figure out how to make the hair work without them. I did find the PDF but it's not very helpful.

This is the product I am referring to: https://www.daz3d.com/classic-long-curly-hair-with-dforce-for-genesis-8-females

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Moving DS install location

M-C — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 13:44:38 +0000

Hello!

I´m planning to move my complete DS 4.11 installation to a new ssd drive to speed up saving / loading times and improve my workflow in general.

Since i have a fairly big content library which i´ve organised in my own custom categories i would prefer not to reinstall everything and i´m looking for a safe way to backup and move everything without causing trouble.

When you search the internet about that topic you come up with a lot of confusing and - even more important - different answers on how do that. So i would like to ask here for some practical advise about what files and folders exactly i should backup and copy over to the new directory to keep my database and especially my customised categories.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Japanese Shinto Shrine

Valkeerie — Sun, 07 Apr 2019 10:54:08 +0000

Re: Japanese Shinto Shrine. This is a new product I bought yesterday.

The ground plane (JSS Environment Iray) renders black. I could report this as a bug BUT I am running 4.11 beta because I have a 2080 Ti. So it might not be a product bug and I wouldn't want to hassle the vendor about something they have not seen.

Has anyone else bought the product and does anyone else see this problem?

Thanks

Postgre SQL CMS install problems

wdsmith1959 — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 22:46:14 +0000

Need help with head mophs

zaselim — Sun, 07 Apr 2019 08:53:38 +0000

Hi, how's evryone.

So i was making a character based on a real female model and noticed that i don't have some morphs options for the face so i installed "Genesis 8 Female Head Morphs" "https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-head-morphs"; and made my new character i was making and then a couple of more. Today i load my main female charcters's scene and noticed that her face has changed from

And when i remove the newly install morphs and then load the scene she reverts back to her old look, but the problem is i want those morphs and i also want my main female character remain as her original look and i don't want to edit her morphs again. I have her face morphs saved as well and i re applied the morphs with Genesis 8 Female Head Morphs installed but nothing changes which seems like her original morpgs are being over written.

My question is, is there a way to have her as her old self(face) while having the Genesis 8 Female Head Morphs installed without changing the sliders one by one again?

I will really appreciate the help. Thanks.

Iray Viewport "Thingy"

What is this? What does it do? And more importantly, how do I turn it off? It keeps on messing up my viewport.

Daz won't load props in the world location where I saved them anymore.

Causam3D — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 18:29:51 +0000

This just started happening. Same props I created and saved and that have been loading for weeks now right where they should, are now loading at world center.

I have not updated DAZ, it's the same 4.10 I've been using on this installation for two months.

What should I check?

GPU Rendering Problems

revelator1217 — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 22:08:43 +0000

I had a gtx1050ti and was getting a scene rendered with 2000 iterations in about 2 hours; I recently bought a rtx2080. I am rendering the same scene with a different pose and the time actually took longer. I looked at a video about iRay performance and they said to test out renders and see which is faster; so I went to the advanced tab in render settings and unclicked my cpu so the render should be done solely by the rtx2080. When i click the render button it starts its set up but then the render stops and asks me to save or close render window (no resume higlight). If i reclick my cpu then the render works (just long render times), so I'm pretty sure that I am doing a cpu render instead of a gpu render.

Shouldn't I be able to render with just the gpu?

btw. It's a new gpu but drivers are all updated.

Daz Studios's scene tree

Doc Acme — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 15:17:35 +0000

I've spent way too much time trying to find out how to do a very basic task & that's to simply hide/show specific items. Ya, there's the eyeball for indivitual nodes but that's not what I'm referring to.

In ALL other apps I've used over the decades, toggling a Parent item to OFF also hides it's Child items. Not so in Daz, or at least not by any means I can find such as a right click or menu drop down. Surely there must be a way?

On a similar topic, is there a way to easily export out just a single item, object, camera or light?

iRay Lamps

Psyckosama — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 18:34:59 +0000

I'm trying to make iray emissive light sources in my renders. The problem I'm having is everything looks like staring into the sun. There seems to be no way I can find to capture the look of something like a standard frosted dome lamp that can light a room without bleaching out any detail of the light source until it looking like a great glowing orb.

G3F Hair parenting on neck instead of head.

paul_ae567ab9 — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 20:16:21 +0000

I created a G3 charactor and applied face morphs first then tried to add hair to character but the hair is being placed around the neck?

I have tried several hair props all do same thing. I have closed DS and reopened etc. but nothing I do will allow me to put hair on the head.

ideas?

IRAY Shadow Catcher on OBJECTS? - NOT on the default ground

alondan — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 21:16:58 +0000

Hello all,

I'm made a few primitives, and I put them in a way that I need the character to cast a shadow over them (based on backdrop for example)
I need the character the cast shadow on the objects, but I don't want to render the objects make them invisible in render but leave the shadow cast over them.

I don't need the Ground / Floor default shadow catcher on HDRI.
I looked for this but the only tutorials I found for latest version of DAZ3D IRAY were related to the Floor shadow catcher, not objects.

Sorry about my bad English and thanks ahead for any help in this tricky issue!

DAZ Big Cat 2 question on Iray

vonHobo — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 01:39:02 +0000

https://www.daz3d.com/daz-big-cat-2

Does anyone know if this product is Iray?

Lately I have purchased a few products that I had to return because they are 3Delight only, and I was told the easiest way to tell is to look for the word "Iray" in the product description to know the product can be rendered in Iray.

However, the DAZ Big Cat 2 product page does not mention Iray anywhere.

Any help on this would be appreciated. I'd like to purchase this but want to be sure it's Iray first.

https://www.daz3d.com/white-tiger-for-daz-big-cat-2

The White Tiger and the Panther by AM, both list required products, but the required product for LAMH Iray Presets is blank on the description page.

Does anyone know what this required product is?

To use the LAMH Presets you will need one of the following Plug-Ins for DAZ Studio:
Look At My Hair
LAMH Free Player

Sorry another hardware question concerning studio

Philippi_Child — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 15:19:15 +0000

Is it possible for a ram issue to cause DS to just shut down? I as because running a memtest has uncovered a bad ram stick.

This could be the reason for DS behavior and BSOD.

Thanks this will be the last hardware question I promise lol.

Mescalino — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 21:08:33 +0000

Ok this is what i did:

I saved my file. Closed daz studio. Played a game of anthem started Daz with the file i just saved. (so i did not delete or install something)

This is a part from my log:

Most interesting are the "could not resolve" errors. Does anyone have a clue where they come from? My character looks fine i dont see anything or any texture missing. Are these files realy important as they are stored in a temp directory.

secondly:
Is there a way to solve that RGB error?

Thanks.

Transfer Utility functions?

winddancer6440 — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 03:58:26 +0000

So I made some bikini bottoms for G8 , Parented them to her and used the Transfer utility to fit them and saved as a prop. Everything went as planned , BUT,

When i apply the clothing item and pose G8 with any leg spread the cloth follows the inner thighs , Not as intended.

How does one fix this? I have noticed that some clothes react this way and some do not. There has to be a trick , or a step I am missing?

How does on get panties or such Not to follow the legs with and spread?

How can I change the body resolution in part?

lawwlekluze — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 03:43:30 +0000

Hi,

I hope to change only teeth resolution to high(not base) cuz the base solution is too crushed.

Is it possible to change only teeth resolution?

Corrupted G3M and G3F .duf files Need to access new .dufs

RA — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 17:57:42 +0000

Hello,

Somehow, I managed to save a character I created as my G3M and G3F files. I found the .duf files in my folders on my computer. However, opening the .duf leads the character, not the original G3 files. I have tried reinstalling Daz. The same files remain.

How could I get a copy of the uncorrupted G3M and G3F files?

Thanks,

Nathan

Problems Exporting to OBJ from 3dmax and importing to daz studio

rhaseley — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 02:23:45 +0000

Ok so I am not an expert with either DAZ3d nor 3d Studio Max. However I am not exactly a newbie either. I have exported 3D Max files as OBJ's many times and imported those OBJ files into Daz. HOWEVER! I have run into this problem a few times before and not been able to solve it. Usually I can find some work around but this time I'm at my wits end! So here's the problem in a nutshell. I open the MAX file in question. It looks great as most do, I then do my export to OBJ, I usually use the DAZ Preset, but also get same results trying others including Poser and Lightwave. I get no errors durring the conversion. However when I load the OBJ into Daz it looks like sombody poked triaglar holes into every curved surface. Now this does NOT happen every time with every model. Some modles it happens all the time. Some models it never happens. Is there some export setting I need to set to stop this from happening?? Or is it bad quality in the base MAX model causing the issue?? If anyone can help me solve this I would apreciate it greatly!

Saved Genesis 8 with my morph, she loads with it every time.

Angells — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 15:57:19 +0000

I forgot to zero out my morph before saving it as an morph asset and now Genesis 8 loads with the body morph every time. I remember reversing it once before by using word pad and zero ing out some part in the dsf file for her but I can't remember where to do it. Where do I zero out my morph in word pad.

Updating figures and ds

Philippi_Child — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 16:57:22 +0000

I noticed today that in my smart content tab under G3 and G8 figures starter essentials there is a tag that says “new”. Has there been a recent update? I remember doing this but does the starter essentials update regularly?

Also are there any updates to DS itself. My friend says he keeps his DS updated to the latest build

Polish's Holiday Hotel Corridor and Hotel Bar

Jason Galterio — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 14:13:53 +0000

I entered a Tech Support ticket for this, but thought I would post it here as well for any other searching the forum.

When loaded "!Holiday Hotel Corridor complete set.duf" (located under \Environments\Architecture\Polish\Holiday Hotal Corridor\!Scene and sets ) loads with all of the ceilings deactivated.

The ceilings can be turned back on, but they are buried in the scene assets pretty deep.

Top Level Parent > Holiday Hotel Corridor complete set
Then Child > HHC Corridor A set
Item > HHC Ceiling A > Make this item visible.

Repeat for HHC Corridor B set, C, D, and Elevator Hall.

Problems with Export Gen 3 Male and Female

Jenner2005_214fc98680 — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 05:13:20 +0000

Helo.

I have a little Problem here. I try to export a Genesis 3 Female and Male into Cinema 4d.

If i export Whillis Gen 3 into Cinema i only got the Original Genesis 3 Male.

If i export it as a Obj, it works well at the most cases. But i need my Model as a FBX because i have Problems to setup the Weights.

Why does it not work ? If my Model has Armor or Clothing i just use the Option merge clothing into Skeleton. It works well but not the Modified Morph.

What should i do ? Has it something to do how i setup my Mesh ? I can either just Click on Victoria 7 or maybe Chandra the Mesh is good in Daz3d Studio but not in Cinema. If i just load the Gen 3 Mesh and pull the Modifyers it wrks good too. But only the Export makes trouble.
