My question is can I uninstall the Genesis 3 pose products with the DAZ Studio Installer after I have converted them to Genesis 8?

I don't want to have multiple copies of poses around for the sake of simplicity. I just want the G8 poses only.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I plan to rig a car such that when the wheels pivot to steer, the fender walls morph to create clearance for the wheels.

Can the fender wall morph be connected to the wheel pivoting such that when the user pivots the wheels in steering, the fender walls automatically morph accordingly?

I want to buy an used PC with 2 graphic cards NVidia GTX Titan à 6 GB. Could perhaps somebody tell me, if this works very good with DAZ Studio 4.9 IRay Rendering? The last days I found here in the forum a thread with many different cards for using IRAY Rendering, but - sorry - I don't found this thread again.  

I've been through this Topic but 90% of the settings I do not understand or cannot find in Daz3D 4.10

I am trying to get this scene's glass to be transparent. The table and window is suppose to be. I am using "Apartment Living and Patio" package.

I have no clue what do here.

The image i snippet from Daz of the Aux Viewport.

I wish to consult you on a question.

I use facegen to make  genesis head morph from picture, now I wonder  is there anyway to make  head morph from a 3d head model(obj or any other 3d format)?

THX.

I used half a dozen of these characters in different scenes (I open the scenes, then merge the characters in), and after about a hundred renders, one of the characters lost the texture from its face (see image below). It happens in every file : in the scenes, and also in the original file where it was created. What is strange is that it only happened on this one, and not the others (all of them were made using the same method).

I think it happened after using ctrl-z to undo a posing action.

I have no clue on how to restore it, and even to prevent this from happening again.

Has any of you encountered the same problem and/or have an idea to help me resolve it?

Thank you very much for your attention and your help!!!

TIA

I hope that you can help after i read a lot and couldn't find the solution to my problem. 

I bought a new pc (with more performance) and installed Daz3D on C. Everything else should be installed on D in the folder "Daz3D Library".

First tests look good, so I installed everything with the DAZ install manager. Now I have a lot of content in "Smart content" and less in "Content Library". I'm surprised that I found e.g. all figures in smart Content but only 2 in the Content Library. At the Content Directory manager all paths leads to the content on D except CMS Cluster Directory. Where is my mistake? What can I do? 

Thanks in advance for your tipps

- pJCMCollarUp_55_L for Left Collar

- pJCMShldrUp_90_L for Left Shoulder Bend

But when I bend Leaft Collar=55 and Left Shoulder Bend=90 simultaneously, then a bad deformation occurs:

Can this be fixed?

My System Configuration is as below.

• AMD RYZEN 5 2600X 6-core 3.6GHz Processor
• Gigabyte X470 AORUS Ultra Gaming(AMD Ryzen)

I am trying to render image simpaly it worked perfectly. I just downloaded G8 Male & Female assets and tried to render and rendered perfectly. But Yesterday I downloaded some assets from here(F95zone) and installed it. Then I tried to render image with that asset (Modish Apartment) but unable to render image. It crashes after some rendering time. I tried to see log file and it shows me some error. Here I am attaching my log file. Please look in and help me.

Here I am attching my log file.

I'm looking for some advanced information about Joint Controlled Morphs using either the Property Hierarchy or ERC Freeze method .. or both

Specifically, looking for a way to apply a morph when two joints needed... say arm up and back or arm up and forward.  One morph... two joints

Also:  How to set the start and stop of a joint that determines when a morph begins to be applied.  (Such as in a calf muscle deformation that you only want to begin when the calf actually touches the back of the thigh)

I've looked and find bits and pieces of how to's that are all pretty basic.   

"Install Manager cannot find a required path. The package for "Hexagon 2.5 Content" requires that the installed path for "Hexagon 2.5" be defined. Make sure that a path for this application is present on the "Applications" page of the "Settings" dialog, then try again. "

Um. So make one? Isn't that what an installer does?

It does not seem to work like this.  The completely white parts of the image - or indeed an image that is entirely white - are both rendered as having some level of transparency, i.e. not 100% opaque.  In the attached, the upper part of the shoulder (torso surface) has no cutout opacity map; the lower part of the shoulder (arms surface) has a cutout opacity map which is an entirely white JPEG file.  I would expect the two surfaces to render without any obvious border between them.

I have tried RGB mode and grayscale JPEGs; I have also tried PNGs.  I have tried characters that use the PBR Metallicity/Roughness model and ones that use the PBR Specular/Glossiness model.  All give the same result.

I can't figure this out.  Is this a 'feature', a bug (in which case I will report it), a mistake or a misunderstanding on my part?  It's a bit of an obstacle to making a 'window' in the skin to show another surface underneath!

I had a computer at home with a GTX1070, Intel Core i7 8th Gen 8700 and 8GB of Ram. As I was just starting on Daz, this set up was more than enough to start playing with models, follow tutorials, learning about lights and getting into Daz pretty much. However, as I started feeling confident with the software, I started building heavier scenes with more models + furniture and my computer immediately started to struggle (freeze of death, sluggish camera movement, long loading time for Iray...)

I updated my computer with 32gb of ram yesterday. Now my computer works a breeze and I'm immediately able to work on the heavier scenes I created. However, I am not seeing any improvement in rendering time at all? Moreover, when I look at the task manager while the rendering is happening, my computer is only using 6gb of ram with 25 gig unused. 

Is this normal?

The scene is big and there are 5 characters at the same time with a lot of props.

Is there a workaround for this issue or we have to parent all stuff to a character, center it, make a shot, then reparent to another, zero position, render that character, rinse and repeat?

Is there a documented maximum distance from the center I can place my character?

Anyone else have a similar issue?

Thanks!

This is a simple one - loaded Linda Hair for G3F from OOT in the scene and iRAY falls back to CPU:

Using latest drivers from nvidia, previous ones had the same issue.

The annoying bit is that any other file loaded will also use the CPU. and only restarting Daz will fix the problem of iRay ignoring my GTX 1080

Ive made sure that CPU is unchecked, and optix on and off. Still getting this issue.

Any tips? I really like the hair from OOT and dont want to get other hair and suffer the same fate.

My problem is that the maps get stretched when you morph the figure. If lets say I take a G3M figure and make him super fat, we will see the skin pores all stretched on the belly and in the highly morphed areas. 

Because the resolution of the maps are limited, I can't just shrink down the map and add more in my clipstudiopaint program where I know the polygons are being streched to compensate for the said stretching. 

I don't know how to procede with that and if you have another method tell me, but I think the best way to go would be to create a custom UV map from the original one (lets say split the torso map so the belly has it own UV). Then I could idk ... somehow change only that part of the torso? Never done something like this...

I have Zbrush, Daz3d and Clip studio Paint as programs to work with. 

Thanks for your help, its a very heavy question I suppose so, but I need to fix this.
