My spot render which covers only the characters face, which is relatively small compared to the entire full screen, took 22 minutes to achieve 87 convergence.

The spot render only saved 3 minutes? I might as well just render the full screen.

Something is wrong.

In settings CPU always unchecked, I use script to check VRAM consumption and it shows 2.9Gb (gpu has 4Gb).

Scene not something big or complicated, just a road, bridge, couple of trucks and HDRI light.

Here warnings from log file, not really understand what's going on

Or, add a single pose (or any other asset) to the menu and have that open the folder it is mapped to? To get to the rest of those assets?

I would really like to quickly insert an asset via the main menu - without having to navigate my way to it from then content or smart library.
Or at least have that asset in the menu open the mapped folder.

Thanks!

I was buying some products for this last day of Christmas Sale: I selected what I wanted to buy, then I bought a Gift Card to use the 10% discount bonus, I redeemed it and I used it on my account.

Finally, I put all the products in the cart again, and I selected as payment method "Store Credit", which has the exact number of the "Grand Total".

When I click on it, both the Grand Total and the Store Credit go to 0, but a big alarm shows at the top of the page: "The requested Payment Method is not available."

The same thing goes over and over if I restart my PC etc.

Please, don't tell me I've just wasted a lot of money and that I can't get those products without paying twice for them, please tell me it's just a bug!

Any ideas about what might be causing this, and/or a solution?

The attached images show the geometry without the arm raised, then the maps for relevant sections. 

I had DAZ Studio running, and recenty upgraded my hard drive and re-installed from the backup.    I can't get the DAZ Smart Content to show up.  I have uninstaled and reinstalled the entire app, as well as the PostgreSQL app from the DAZ Install Manager.  With no luck.  The log file shows it is connecting to the CMS system at some point, but it is not workin gin the DAZ Studio app.  I am attaching the log file for those who might be able to use it to help.

I get very often black artefacts on the eys, skin or cloth of my figures.

This happens very often if the figure is outside of the ground grid. If I move the figure back into the ground grid the artefacts are normally gone.

But at the moment I render a interior scene which (which is in the ground grid) where I also expierence such black arterfacts on the the skin of the characters (See attachment).

The black freckels on the screenshot can be easily removed with Photoshop, but I currently render an other picture where the half of the forehead is black.

Any idea what couse this?

Now I have moved onto AR Studio.  I have been having issues finding the sweet spot on my export settings and was wondering if any of you knew the correct settings to use.

Anyone?  Thanks.

How does a program just decide to come up with a bug/problem that did not exist at any other time? This is quite frustrating.

As a precaution, I backed up DAZ 3D and My DAZ 3D Library hoping I can paste that into place once DAZ is installed on the new drive.

I understand I may have to pull the obj into blender or hexagon to fix the quads MD produces. I'm kinda stumped on what to do after I bring it in to Studio. In my mind it seems simple but something telling me it not that easy.

Now, if its not, where can I find the info I need to learn how to do this? 

Thank in advance for anyones assistance!

When testing with low quality renderings in a movie I noticed that the noise, Iray produces because of it's sampling, always stays in the same place. So it's not like static noise on an analogue TV screen that wizzles around but it looks like every picture is sampled with the same "seed" value. Why is it this way? I thought Iray takes light rays and randomly reflects them from surfaces until they hit a light source (or don't where the sample will return "black") or did I understand something wrong here? And couldn't be image quality improved a little, when the seed of the random changes each iteration so one get's a greater variance in random samples (mean's one get's a greater chance to render a pixel with the correct light souce instead of missing it into dark infinity)?

Thanks

I try to export G8 character to Unity with attachment on it (Eva 8 Tattoo Heart Beat). However attachment is exported as separate texture (white 64MB .tif with tatto in the middle). Is there a way to merge it with torso texture in DAZ studio or some other easy way to do it?

Thanks.

Ideally I want to organize My HDRIs in a folder with their own Subfolder. I'd like to remove vanity folders, store links, and have them stored by product name.

Has anyone had luck with this? I confess I'm losing track of them.

Now instead of a scene taking 3.6gb of memory, the reducded texture sizes now only take like 2.5gb of memory.

Can this feature be added please?

Reduce texture resolution size of all textures in scene [ENABLED]
- Advanced Options
- - maximum texture resolution size: 4096, 2048, 1024 or 512
 

how to fix it ?

I have imported an animation from mixamo.com.

When I watch the DAZ timeline, I can see that it's set to 30 fps.

Since I downloaded the mixamo animation at 60 fps, I change "FPS" to 60 in the timeline in DAZ.

This works fine, the animation looks as I expected.

Now I want to export the animation out of DAZ as an FBX.

It works fine, but it exports it as 30 fps, not as 60 fps.

I don't see any other options in the FBX export dialog to set a frame rate there.

How could I export the animation at 60 fps?

Thank you!

Here is the problem:

I'm new with the program, and everything was perfect auntil I activated "something" that made everything too bright.

On the upper right corner you can see a preview on Iray, I just added a 1000 lumen spotlight. 

Sorry to bother you guys, but I really dont know what to do D:

I have Auto Headlamp option set in Never.

I am trying to make a simple asphalt roadway. I have a nice texture with the center lines etc and I made a simple board shaped prop with slightly rounded corners to simulate the shape of a road.

I've applied the texture played with tiling etc. but zero luck getting anything like the image to appear as a texture on my "road".  Playing with displacement and specular etc. vary the apparant color of the prop but nothing seems to work to get the texture to appear in view port not to mention getting it to line up with the prop.

I need to learn to do this as I often make props I cannot find and have the same problem fitting a texture image (.jpg) onto a prop.

Mostly make the actual shapes either in DS / Primitives or Hexagon.  Simple things like a wood texture work pretty well but then I don't typically need to "line up" the shape with the prop.

In this case I need the asphalt with the painted centerlines to run down the middle so it looks like a road?

Often orientation is an issue as well, what is "up" or "down" when saving a texture in relation to the prop?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
