It shouldn't.  Pure and simple.  For example, if I manually change the texture files or shaders on a surface with dForce settings set up, those settings remain intact.  It's only when I load a preset for all surfaces that the settings go away. 

Is there any plan to fix this in the future?

I often use the same characters, but since they have many morphs, it takes a while to load them.

Would it be possible to actually easily create a new figure, to load them into the scene at the speed of light?
I'm not talking about saving it as a "actor/character", because that way is still slow to load into the scene. I'd like to replicate what happens when you load a figure you've bought: that is fast!

Thanks! :D

Any advice?

I went to Windows/Panes/Viewport to reopen it, but nothing happened.

I closed Das Studio and reopened it, but still no Viewport will appear.

(It disappeared while I was dragging an object across the screen.)

Anyone know why Viewport will not reappear in Building/Scripting?

I got rigging error.

It all started when I tried to use Stonemason's city loft with two G8 figures in: I left the render overnight and the next morning, after 7 hours, I had 0% progress and a grainy, blurry render. I was using the lighting out of the box, (which looked amazing in the preview window). I changed the lighting to use DA real-world lighting, which is normally my go-to lighting set for Iray, and some emmissives for the lightbulbs, and left it to cook while I was at work. 12 hours later, I came back to 0% progress and another grainy render.

I started doing a bit of research and tried a range of different things. I changed the scene and tried a number of different Tesla3D interiors I'd picked up (I know the figures are OK because I've rendered them outdoors with no problems). I went through and deleted every single prop and component that wasn't in the scene, and made sure to minimise the number of reflective and transparent surfaces. No wine-glasses or polished floors to slow things down! I tried using a mix of exterior lighting outside and emissive lighting inside, trying one or the other as well as both. Then I read that emissive lighting slows down renders but that some people had success with applying emissive surfaces to a primitive sphere or cube. I tried that too. Someone reccommended KindredArt's ghost lights, so I tried them. Each time, the render progress fails to move beyond 0%, even after several hours. I am literally at my wits' end trying to produce a workable indoor render with Iray.

I'm using a 4ghz processor with 16gb RAM and a GTX960 graphics card- not the most amazing setup I know, but usually enough to render four or five G8 figures plus scenery in an outdoor setting with decent results after 6 hours or so. It's not uncommon to leave a render cooking overnight and get to 50-80% progress with something I can post-work into a decent scene. Rare indeed that I get 0% progress and a picture that looks like a badly tuned TV.

I'd love to hear what I'm doing wrong, because I find it hard to believe that DAZ are selling indoor scenes that are entirely useless to anyone without a top of the line graphics card.

I'm having this black eye and hairline problem!

Max Bounce Rays is set to "-1".

I've tried loading the hair again and changing the eyes, with no results.

I've played around in the "Surfaces" tab but I wasn't able to solve the problem.

It happens both in Interactive and in Photorealistic, while the sclera is white in Texture Shaded. The material is MDL.

Does somebody know how to fix this?

After about 1000 frames SUDDENLY DAZ slows down by a big amount. Only 20% speed.

I woke up, restarted DAZ and continued where I left off,...back to 100%.

Memory is not a problem, RAM used 7/16 GB. Using GPU only. Rendering Image series. Temps are totally fine everywhere, pretty cool. No lights in scene, no moving BIG parts, just basic breathing, blinking /expressions test. No Cam movement. So basically all stays nearly same. Only basic figure,...no cloth nothing...so VRAM should also not be the cause. GTX 2080.

Forgot to check if it fell back to "CPU only" but 95% sure it's not the case since my cooling would become louder, and I would have realized it. Also, I did set up an alarm, that wakes me if it falls back to CPU.

Next time I will check the log.

Seems I am not the only one with that problem.

This is kinda upsetting because when I wanna render really long animations, I cannot let him render for more than 6-8 hours without restart.

The problem must be internal/memory related. But no obvious memory leak, since Memory system usage always stays at 7/16GB....strange.

Anyone can shed a light?

var bootNode = Scene.findNodeByLabel("LJBoots");

DzNode(bootNode).setHidden(true);

but this is not hiding the node in the scene.

I'm new to Daz3D Studio and Daz3D scripting, any help is appreciated. 

See attached thumbnails below.

Sometimes it's reversed with the first part coming fine follwed by the remaining video rendering black.  Anyone else have this happening?

I've installed DAZ for the first time on my Windows 10 i7 desktop which has 16GB RAM running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card and it just immediately hangs after starting up. It is really fustrating. Have attached the log file. If anyone can tell me how to reset the software settings outside of the application itself that would be really helpful.

Many Thanks,

Shaun

But, I can't get this...

What am I doing wrong?

Daz Studio 4.10 Pro is really acting funky and not batch rendering.

Plus now I get this glitchy box in the middle of our screen. Any tips on how the fix this?

I wanted to know, if you build and setup an iRay Server, do you need to have Quadro cards or can you use any Nvidia cards, such as a GTX 1080ti for example?

Thanks

Winton 

First thought that's the way eyes look, but google "eyes looking sideways"....the all look paralell

I needed to see the documentation on DzFigure but couldn't find it here 

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/object_index/start

Please let me know where can I find the API reference for DzFigure?

Thanks for the help.

*Note: I have altered the textures to remove the eyebrows

I have looked through the 'Currently Used' list but see nothing wrong (I have attached the one while Grace was loaded, see image Currently Used.jpg)

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Genesis 8 using the Daz Install Manager but there was no change.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on or how to fix it?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

 

They are suggesting RTX 2080 with 8gb ram ( https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inno3d-geforce-rtx-2080-twin-x2-8192mb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-077-in.html )

Is the 2080 the better option. Will 8GB be adequate for most scenes or will I find myself wanting more? Can anyone offer some advice here because it's holding up the build and I'm really not sure what to do.

Thank you.

But if I try it it always imports the paths I have set not the originals, what do I need to do? (I don't want to do a full windows reinstall XP)

Thx

What is the difference between the two- 'Remove Base Directory' and 'Remove Runtime Directory'?    

I know some have issues in DS if not at origin

but it doesn't matter where I put Genesis 8 in Carrara using Octane it happens regardless

Carrara native render is not fussed

I am bringing it up as while it is a known issue in DAZ studio, its an actual fault with the mesh IMO

yes I fix it by dragging the corneas into the head and hiding them but that's not the point

does it affect Max and Maya users and Reality too?

oops edited to fix typo was meant to be 8

Any recommendations regarding textures, UVs, and shapes is much-appreciated.
