if anyone can help me figure it out, I will very appreciate

I had a G2 character(Aiko 6) wanted to dress G3's cloth.

and here is the problem.

I think it's because the character I used from this asset "https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-female-for-genesis-2-female-s"

since the foot pose fix can correctly apply on normal G3 character.

any idea how can I solve this ?

---------------------

update, when I click on the pose fix, an error appear, in log file it said

2018-12-19 00:29:22.013 Invalid hierarchy for selected node(s) and "preset_hierarchical_pose" type; no root(s) found.
2018-12-19 00:29:22.013 Error reading file, see log for more details.

I assume it's because the pose fix can't find the G3 female....

I used Daz Studio in its 4.6 version at the latest and coming back, it's now 4.10, I am lost at the ways to install content now. Between Daz Connect, Daz Installer, and manual download, I'm trying all three methods, but some of my products still won't install.

Joint a picture of what goes wrong.

The same goes for those products:

• Back to class school props poser CF
• Measure Metrics
• Michael 4 genitalia
• Surface Mask Creator DS
• Victoria 4.2 Morph ++ StudioCF
• Victoria 4.2 base
• Michael 4 base puppeteer StudioCF

Could anyone tell me if there is something wrong with those products, please?

Strangely, there's this thing called Daz Studio 10 that, well, does not work for me.

Here's my issue - I load up my content using the IM.  If I want to inject a body morph from Daz Genesis 8 that was included with the bundle it doesn't work.

If I want to use some of my older Renderosity content, it doesn't work either.

I have loaded the library by letting Daz "do what it do."  (user\*.*\documents\My Daz Library). Doesn't work.

Then I deleted that pile, created a faster library on one of my M.2 drives for a faster render pipeline, and called it x:\My Daz Library\New Library.  Used IM to shove all of the packages into this New Library folder.  It's all there and all a valid heiarchy.

Dropped my Renderosity files into the Poser Content where applicable, and stuck the Daz3D compatible items in their respective folders in runtime, data, people, etc.

I can see the items.

Load G8F.  Choose a Character in people\G8F and double click the morph - computer does something but no change to the figure and no error.  I've dragged the morphs over to the character and selected "apply to genesis8 female", "merge into scene" "parent to G8F", etc. Clicked on the area to be morphed like "head" and nope, not a thing happens.  Blood pressure rises, tho.

The character acts like it's locked.  Poses, no problems.  Body and face morphs, fuggeddaboudit.  It just doesn't respond.  Oh, wait.  I can change eye colors and lip colors...  

I've watched about 300 videos, both the useful and the "blind leading the blind" types.  I've read about five thousand posts, 95% are about loading content and I've done those things.  Checked my library settings, folder heiarchy, etc at least a fifty times.  Deleted and reinstalled 25-30 times.

Just for the fun of it, I loaded an old version of Daz Studio 4.1 from 2014 or so - works great, no worries, and the content works.  Whaaaattt??

What am I missing?  Someone please help me before I go postal and put a hammer thru my monitor.

Thanks in advance -

Kev

Thank you for your attention.

Thanks! 

I'm working on a scene using Urban Future 5, and the additional lights and camera settings that can be purchased with it. The scene I'm trying to render, in particular, is using camera and render setting #1, which defaults to Sun-Sky Only mode (image attached). However, I really want to add some additional lights to draw attention to my subject's face. I've read that I can change the Environment settings to Dome and Scene and then remove the environment map...but it doesn't seem to work the way I was expecting. When I do this, the scene gets all blown out beyond belief. I don't have any additional lights in the scene yet...just the subject himself. The sun settings, as well as all the other render settings remain the same. I tried tweaking around with the tone mapping, but it's not really helping, not to mention that the bloom gets all whacky as well. What I was really hoping was to have Stonemason's perfect "back alley" lighting...and then just add my own rim and fill lights to my subject to make his face stand out more. Am I doing something wrong here? Can I use mesh lights to accomplish what I want? 

When animating the character in Iclone, the chest is locked into place, while other body parts are moving. Probably a simple fix I'm overlooking.

Exported Daz character with animation into .fbx format. Imported using 3dXchange, the character chest seems to be pinned into place.

I decided to try to reset the database and re-import the metadata through the contend database manager, but when I go to "Re-Import Metadata" instead of showing a list of products with metadata, it flashes a loading screen and does nothing else.

I was wondering if I could simply locate the misplaced files and retun them to their original directory (and if so how and where are they kept), or if I have to redownload and reinstall all of my products?

I would like to use a DAZ animation in another program (Unity).

Because I already have the model in Unity as a separate file, I would like to export the bones only (or perhaps that is called "Rig"?)

I don't need the model, and I don't want to have the overhead in my export file. 

What I would like is to only export the animation. 

Therefore I select Export -> FBX.

In the options dialog, I select only "Animations" and leave the other items on the left side un-checked, so I do not export this model. 

It does export something, but the file is only 8 kb in size, so it basically doesn't contain anything. 

How could I make DAZ export only the animation with the rig?

Thank you!

I have no problem sending a file from DAZ to ZBrush using GoZ. However, when I click GoZ within Zbrush nothing happens. I can hit that button dozens of times (I have out of frustration), and nothing at all happens. I've checked the link to DAZ from the preferences in ZBrush and it's right. I just don't know why ZBrush is refusing to send the file back. 

Please help!

Thanks,

Jason

What happened? I'm feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I don't know if this matters, but I've been using V3Digitime's Pose Mixer while I work, but I always zero out all the locks before I save.

ETA: I got it to work. Not sure how, but what seems like it did it was to go through each of the V3Digitime's Pose Mixer's unlock settings and manually unlock each rather than simply selecting "Unlock all Pose Rotations".

I'm trying to get Genesis 8 onto Daz 4.9 but I'm not quite sure how to do that. Can anyone give me a hand?

So I had some hard drive issues this week and ended up haviing to completely replace the drive that My Library was on. I decided to take the opportunity to move My Library to an external drive which I'd been wanting to do anyway, but now Install Manager will not start. I get the password screen, enter my password (or check "work offline," same issue occurs with both) and then Install Manager just hangs forever with a "not responding" message.

Was there something in the old My Library folder that IM needs to run properly? Or is something in IM pointing at the old drive and it won't start with that set? Is there a settings file somewhere for IM that I need to delete?

I'm on Windows 10 Home edition and installed Install Manager to the default location.

Anyone have any thoughts on how I can get Install Manager working again?

EDIT: Ok, this somehow fixed itself via the tried and true "Did you try turning it off and back on again?" method.

I just want to try to understand what is happening here.  Why with a new scene load or a new instance of the character does something conform properly but on the original scene figure it no longer does??  It's so strange to me.  

Thank you,

Richard 

When we buy some video tutorial in marktplace and install it by the Manager where I open the video in Daz 3d?

Or should I download the file on my computer to see?

Thanks

I have imported a Genesis 2 model into mixamo.com and animated it.

mixamo.com of course re-rigs the model, but I thought it would still work right.

No when I try to copy / paste the re-rigged model onto an original Genesis 2 Female model, everything works great, except the right hand.

Here is a screenshot of my procedure.

Does anybody have any idea what I could do to fix the problem?

Thank you!

I have followed a tutorial to get an animation.

This worked perfectly fine, and in Autodesk FBX Viewer, I can see an absolutely smooth animation on Genesis 2 Female.

When I import the avatar + animation in DAZ3D and view it, it animates fine.

However, once I apply the animation to a new Genesis 2 Female in Animate2, it "hops".

Can anybody tell me what's going on here and how to fix that?

I have recorded a video here to show the problem.

There seems to be a discrepancy between the original Genesis 2 Model and the avatar exported from mixamo.

But I don't see how to fix that.

Thank you.

So I bought a great building to start making a sceen, but I am having some problems with light up the interior of the building. I just do not seem to be ble toget enough light in to it.

Any ideas about types of light that could be used to help brighten up the inside?

I've run into a new one with a scene that a colleague sent to me along with some custom comment - a version of the message I've never seen before:

2018-12-13 18:13:46.098 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(5970): Duplicate formula found linking xOrigin & Value in [DUF FILE NAME]
2018-12-13 18:13:46.247 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(5970): Duplicate formula found linking yOrigin & Value in [DUF FILE NAME]
2018-12-13 18:13:46.395 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(5970): Duplicate formula found linking zOrigin & Value in [DUF FILE NAME]

I get a whole series of these.  Where I've put [DUF FILE NAME], DS lists the file that I'm in the process of loading, not something buried off in my content directory, and there's nothing immediately before or after these lines (there are many copies of the three I've shown) that references another DUF or DSF file.

Any gurus have an idea what might be causing this, and what I should do to try to track it down/eliminate it?

For some reason there appear to be very few AniBlocks for G3 and a ton for G2 which I cannot use without conversion.

Did someone mess up or just not care to support G3 for animation or G2>G3 male conversion.

If anyone knows how to do this please share.

I'm trying to model a smile on genesis 3 and the victorian santa pack ... can anyone help ? 

It looks like the mouth can't be posed :-(  

Thank you very much for any hint ;-)

Is it possible to do this, and if so, what settings do I need to use? 

Thanks very much in advance!

I recently purchased AoA's Advanced Lights along with the related presets for use with my 3Delight renders.  I like the lights so far - they render much faster than others I have used but I'm having a significant issue.  My models eyes render a hazy white.  You can sort od see the pupil under the white and a vague outline of the iris but there is no color.  I've tried different setting with the lights, with my render, and with the surfaces on the eyes and iris and still they render that milty white.  Has anyone else encountered this and any suggestions on how I could fix?

Thanks!

Method 1: The normal method. Fill in the circles with quads and tri’s, UV map them and apply the texture image(s) to the UV mapping.

Method 2: Superimposed squares with transparency maps. Don’t fill in the circles with any faces. Leave that object as just the cylindrical edge of the disk. Instead, superimpose a square plane over each circle of the disk, and parent the squares to that disk cylider. Then UV map the texture image(s) to the square planes. Use a transparency map to make the area of the square planes outside the circle turn invisible.

Method 2 reduces geometry. But I wonder whether this advantage is cancelled out by other factors I don’t know much about.
