I feel I saw that somewhere, but I can't find where nor by myself how to do it. Basically, I morphed a shirt to my model on Zbrush without autofiting first because my figure has an unusual chest morphing ( wink wink ;) ). There you go I made the morph has I wanted it to be. Then I made it to collide with the figure and tried parenting it to the abdomen upper. Big surprise, the clothe piece is not following the arms and torso when I pose the model. :/

I'm sure this is a very noobish problem (as I perceive myself to be)

Thx in advance

This is on all dForce items.

Using a GTX1070 and just updated to 419.17. (I had 418 but degraded due to iray not using GPU) This new driver has solved that as Iray uses GPU now.

But i still can't use dForce.... Any help/tips/advice is welcome.

EDIT: Did a clean driver install and now i have dForce back.

the suit.  See attached image to see what I have so far.  And if you could tell me how to subtract pieces of the suit on the face to reveal it.

Also would like to know where the morphs are to make the ears

Thanks,

Do I need to save out all the clothing morphs and JCMs to assets as well as saving the clothing asset itself?

Also is there any difference between having male and female versions of the clothes in the same pack or seperate. Because I notice that most content creators have a pack for each, is this for a specific technical reason?

Thanks for your time :)

Can someone tell me if in fact it is the Genesis Alien or something else which is required to use these MATs?

To be clear i mean the animatable expression face morphs, for example; smile, open mouth, open eyes, raise brows etc ... 

As things are now, when i port characters over to Maya using the plugins, they seem to export the morphs relating to changing shape, for example ... make the nose bigger etc ... but doesnt port the expression morphs.

Also for clarity, this is for animation purposes, not a still / static pose. I understand i can just port over an OBJ, FBX etc with the expression; this is static only, not for animation.

The expression poses need to go into the blend shape editor for maya.

I'm guess expressions are not driven by blend shapes / morphs inside of Daz for Gen 8 .. given they have a bunch of bones in the face, i assume the expressions are bone controlled?  which would mean they need controls applying on the maya side through teh plugin.

Tried to contact the dev about this, but no response as yet.

Thanks

I have so much old content I can easily play for many years with just that, which won't push my system. But I am lured by the new shinies. Genesis 8 is lovely to use. I bought a few new figures and its love,lol.

I have been experimenting with the new stuff, and it is obvious that my poor PC is not exactly up to scratch.

What I would like to know is in what department is my biggest bottle neck, in other words, which bits should I update first, when I can afford to.

I like using Iray very much, the lighting is so much easier than before, and the HDRI domes make attractive renders so very easy, even for me.  I mainly render portraits of characters that I create or simple fantasy scenes.  I rather like playing with LAMH and the new Deforce draping is great. 

I can render single people fine, it takes about an hour to render Edward 8 HD as a close up portrait in Iray. I can do a person in an HDRI dome in about half an hour.  Add more things to the scene and the time goes up.  I have had a couple of times where Daz closed on me in disgust at my trying to add more to a scene.

I am using Windows 10 home 64 bit.
Processor - Intel i5 3330 @ 3GHz
RAM - 8GB DDR3, the mother board can take up to 16GB
Graphics - 2047MB Nvidia GeForce GT 730 (yes, I know, my son's hand-me-down)

So should I be looking at adding more RAM or updating the graphics card, or what? Any hints on how to improve with what i have would be appreciated.

Thank you very much indeed.
 

Anyone get these morphs to apply correctly?

Also, does anyone know how to locate a PA's PM, so they can be contacted directly?

I recently picked up the "Destroyed Public Shower" from the official freebie section on daz store. Everything installed, but when I try to load it from smart content, it displays:

And indeed, there is no such /bluebird3d/ folder in /data/ . 

Did I do something wrong? I installed it via Daz Connect.

I am looking for any documentation on this product but there seems to be none. Not even a readme file. 

So if I want to convert all my G3 Poses to G8 Poses what do I do?

Do I run the "Genesis 3 to Genesis 8 Pose Converter" Script and follow the prompts?   

What are the !Add and !Remove Script options? 

My guess is the "Pose Corrector" Script will correct individual poses on the fly, without saving them to G8 versions. 

I just wish there was a little more guidance on this product as it would save me some time. Instead I am looking through the forums for any answers I can find, and posting this question hoping for a response. 

From what I can see it works great from what people say in the forums, but I could not find a simple explanation of how to use this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

My normal RAM is barely half used, and the GPU never goes to its full 8GB (or, in most cases, 7.8GB) of VRAM. Why is it preferring to use the CPU?

Screenshots of my settings below.

Does the OneClick2 version suffer from these (or other) problems?

Can anyone give a comparison of the two versions? What features does Headshop 11 have that Headshop OneClick2 does not have? Any comments on the two versions are welcome.

Update: Fixed the issue no sooner do I post this problem and it dawned on me that this happened before, I had made some custom folders to help me keep my shaders organized and for some reason DiM likes putting the data and runtime folders in the wrong place..

I'm trying to compose a new scene & for the 1st part of it I notice Gramps has a funny two-tone mustache (notice the flesh color on the mustache along the edge of the nostils) ? Anyone know why? Is that just the skin & hair being too glossy? They are set at defaults. The lantarn though I set to kcd/m^2

Thanks.

First of all, it's not about animation, only single frames. For my new project I am supposed to create a crowd. Unfortunately, I do not know enough about the software. I work with a NVIDIA Geforce910M 2GB VRAM with a INTEL Quad N3150.

What's better for my hardware: LoRez figures or G8? What are the experience values, along with some props, clothes and background - how many actors can I get (with reasonable handling) on a picture?

Thank you if you share your experience with me, just trying it out is "painful" when work only leads to a crash.....

 Thanks!

I am currently working on a product of mine and have encoutered the following issue. I am in the stage of creating morphs for my product. As I move the dial from 0.00 to 100% half way to 100% the objects shrink but as they reach 100% the return to the original size.

So say I wanted to provide my customers with the option of using the adjustments inbetween 0 - 100% they can't because the mesh size becomes altered after 0 up until 99%.

Please help. Thank you.

However, the description does not list a .DUF file for the props, just .PP2 and .OBJ, so my question is will I be able to use this prop from the Smart Content tab, or will it be located in Content Library only? I have not purchased anything from DAZ that is not a .DUF file so far, so that's why I'm a bit confused.

Also, will this use 3Delight or Iray? I am only rendering in Iray so I don't want to purchase anything that is only 3Delight, and so far it's been hit and miss with older products because not all of them use Iray.

What's Included and Features

• Props: (.PP2 and .OBJ)
  • Hamburger with All the Fixings

I am trying to create a custom character by creating an image map and inserting it over an existing character's face. So far, what I've done is used Gimp to open up the image of the character's face and then opened up my own image, selected the face and copied it onto the character's photo, then adjusted the color and blended the edges and finally saved that as a .jpg in its own folder. I then went to the 'surfaces' tab in Daz Studio 4.1 when my character was loaded and selected the "face" option. I clicked on the icon of the face next to the 'diffuse color' settings and changed it to my custom photo. My custom photo did appear on my character, but the character's face is still visible also...so there are 2 faces on 1 head. Does anyone know the next steps in masking the character's face so that only my custom image map is showing? My current model is Genesis 3, but I may try Genesis 8 if that's better. Thank you

Is their any way to keep this from happening BEFORE I rendor the scene, so I am looking at the correct shade (hair color), while I work with the character?

...Or this just the way the product works?
