I can't figure out why I'm getting this completely bizarre effect. In previous versions, it looked like the HDRI was being used as a map inside the skin shader (which it isn't). Any suggestions on fixing or trouble shooting this?

I purchased the gen 3 to 8 clothing converter today in an attempt to convert some of the gen 3 clothes I got in the DAZ store on sale for my gen 8 females. Unfortunately, only some of the items actually converted, and after reading the read-me several times, I cannot figure out what is going on. When I try to run the script it shows this pop up message that none of the items are selected, even though they are obviously checked. I have also run into a message that 0 out of 0 items have been converted successfully. Is there any way to fix this? I would love to use this script, but for some reason it's just not working for me. I have tried to restart my computer, and have restarted DAZ several times. Nothing has worked. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I need your help about how to animate a prop. For the needs of a comic book I'm preparing , I need to animate a helmet. I started from the Leviathan one from Midnight Stories scifi suit. I prepared it on my 3D modeleur. I divided it into parts. 

What I need is to understand how to animate the helmet in the way of a morph , such as simple. I would want a parameter cursor to control the process. 

Raah I'm explaining my problem badly.... 

The idea is to show that the helmet will be reconstituted part by part. 

And I never did such a thing lol. No doubt that I have to rig the model , but I don't how how and where to start...  

Can anybody could help ? Thanx a lot ! 

I got my RTX 2080TI today and was very excited to see the increase in speed compared to by 970 but it will just sit at the "rendering image" dialogue and not ever begin to render if I try to use the GPU. If I include the CPU as a Photoreal device it will eventually begin and the GPU will sit idle. It works fantastically for the display view when I swap to IRAY mode so it's a bit of a headscratcher. NVidia drivers are up to date.

It goes very smoothly with the viewport but does nothing when attempting to render.

Well one piece of my left pinky finger (my figure's not mine) is apparently, uh, not-selectable. Not that appears as such on the scene tree or anything, but I just can click on it :( 

I'd swear it was selectable before. I've been playing hand poses and all.

When I select all I notice too that particular node has no bounding box. I'm looking at the joint editor, the geometry editor, even them weightmaps, but Im quite clueless.

help plz :(

Thanks for the help!

Is there any way to figure out exactly what morph is causing this or fix it without deleting all my morphs and creating them again? 

Is there a way to run DAZ Studio offline as the default, and log in just when you need to update the software?

Daz starting pose : Link removed

Daz ending pose : Link removed

The message i get once i import from Marvellous : https://ibb.co/F5shXwk

The animation i get from Marvellous : Link removed

As you can see, the arms are not placed right, does anyone has a solution ?

DAZ Studio 4.10 exporting in collada with the 3 animation box checked

Marvellous Designer 8 4.2

Thanks in advance, have a good day

Have any one came across with 3d print when try to export model to STL or OBJ  and they only show 1 face of Polygon ?

after i use GoZ to export Zbrush i got perfect model like it supost to be but there are part of it only have 1 face poligon at first it let me do everything until i export fix file to printer software they ok to show up but they keep saying error and dont let me slice file 

Can anyone identify the problem and how to fix it ?

They are sticking up in the image on the product page, but droop down when I apply the clothing in Daz.

Any suggestions how to deal with this?

1) Layer several normal maps. Example these are the normal maps I made. One for relaxed pose and the other has a bunch of compression wrinkles on it (sorry for the watermark):

2) Layer several masks that will be used to select specific areas of the face to be wrinkled. Layer blend mode should be "additive" or "lighten" or whatever you want to call it. The final mask output should then be used as a mask for the compressed normal map which is layered over the relaxed normal map. Here are right brow, left brow, mouth, and chin masks for example:

3) Somehow I need pose parameters to drive opacity values of individual masks layers. For example when "Brow Up-Down Right" slider goes up to 100%, the opacity of the right brow mask layer goes up to 100% as well and you get something like this:

Can anyone guide me in the right direction to accomplish this?

I'm assuming this has something to do with the fact that this article of clothing is both transparent and close to/touching the skin, combined with how the render engine (3Delight) handles the lighting. I've seen the same issue in other scenes that didn't use occlusion, and the solution in those cases was to disable 'Cast Shadows', on the tights, but this particular light seems to have a different method of creating shadows (if you look under the Shadow menu shown here, the Shadow Type is set to None) that ignores the Cast Shadows setting.

Is there any way to get around this issue?

However, as my library grows I am needing to add a few top  level categories under props and it won't let me The second column in the screen shot is the area it won't let me add anything. Let me rephrase that, if I select props in the first column, right click and add sub category it does appear in the second column. I can find items and categorize them to be in the custom category and the category will NOT show up at all in smart content pane. I can select levels in the second column and add sub cats under those, they appear in the 3rd column, and they appear in the smart content pane with no problems. Is it possible to be able to add top level categories under props.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I've included an example render. I use 3Delight because, for my purposes, Iray is too slow and 3Delight looks fine (at least it did). From left to right, the figures are Genesis 1, 2, and 3. That Genesis 3 figure is actually the first to come out decent, although I meant those to be reading glasses rather than sunglasses.

Materials only have Iray, i can't use it ;-(

This NOT MENTIONED on the Product Store Page!

@esha

Please make "RSL is for 3Delight" available, otherwise i will have to request a refund.

Would be cool if i can use this ;-)

T.H.A.N.X.

By this I mean, the render canvas window appears with gray checkerboad while it prepares to render. Then, after it reports that the render canvas was written, that window then shows absolute black.

I used to get this blackness when I accidentally tried to render from a vantage point under the default ground level.

Did the default lighting disappear or something?

Thanks
