FG OId Cabin Question

ironclawxii — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 01:47:05 +0000

Hi all,

Just a simple question regarding FG Old Cabin. If anyone owns it, can you tell me whether it comes with the ground and trees included, as per the preview pictures? I'd like to purchase it but only if they are included, and I don't see them listed in the specs.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Aiko7 Errors when I am using G8F?

3dOutlaw — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 21:36:52 +0000

I am loading G8F, but getting Aiko 7 errors in the log file during load? (I am using the Aiko 8 Body morph on the character in the scene)

Bulking up hair for 3D printing?

codilx — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 21:55:34 +0000

Hey guys,

I want to print a one off model for myself, but the damn hair ... I use Meshmixer or Netfabb and they both clean up the model just fine, but the hair.. The tiny strands just mess up everything.

Is there any way software out there that can make the hair clump into more of a cartoony look? Inflating small objects and then remeshing the hair model to make it water tight, but I can't find a tool that can automatically inflate thin objects. My last resort would be to spend days in Sculptris or something, but I'm sure there is a tool for this out there somewhere.

Getting iRay Shaders onto DAZ Figures with Poser Shaders

inquire — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 22:33:09 +0000

I'm looking for a product that will allow me to take earlier DAZ Figures, such as Michael 4, and even David 3, which have Poser Firefly shaders (materials) on them, because I used them in Poser. Now, if I bring them into DAZ Studio, is there a product that will apply iRay shaders to them and make them look good? Is Anagenisis II, or something like that the way to go? I've heard that product will work with any prop (or figure), but I haven't seen any examples of that. If not that product, then which?

Iray Interactive Draw Mode in Viewport Crashes Daz

DefaultName — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 10:11:18 +0000

Hey there. I used to like using Interactive Mode for Iray under the draw settings to do things like adjust lights or textures before rendering in Photoreal Iray

For whatever reason, I can't use Interactive anymore. Not only does it not work, it crashes Daz.

I can use Photoreal in the viewport, and rendering itself is just fine. Any reason why this is happening? Thank you!

Integrated + dedicated graphics build for DAZ3D Iray

amylee_07 — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 11:54:03 +0000

Hey everyone I had a question regarding my new pc build for Daz3d. I hope this is the right forum section.

So I had this idea of using a cpu with integrated graphics for windows and display while using a dedicated card for solely daz3d viewport and rendering. This way i might save some of the gpu ram used by the windows and monitor. The cpu and gpu I plan to buy are:

Cpu: Ryzen 5 2400G with Vega 11 integrated graphics

Gpu: Nvdia RTX 2070

So my question is:

Will it be possible for me to use integrated Vega 11 for monitor display and windows while using RTX 2070 only for Daz3d viewport applications like dforce and I ray rendering?

Note: My scenes use a lot of gpu ram and I was planning to buy 11gb 1080 ti since i can't afford a 2080 ti. Then I thought a 2070 would be better and faster in future with new technology. But since it has lower memory I came up with this idea of using a cpu with integrated graphics.

SUBDIVISIONS RESET - SOLVED -

Dax Avalange — Thu, 22 Nov 2018 07:41:18 +0000

Hello Richard! I'm asking you a question about a strange artefact. Anytime I import in Daz Studio 4.10 an OBJ file, not matter if comes from Maya, C4D, Pegasus Modeler, then apply a smooth modifier, after rendered the object or I stop the rendering, the subdivisions gone and the object back to base (the popup menu resolution remain on Base). It's a usual Daz bug, or something happened to the program?

Thank you!

How Do I Find DS 4.10, so I Can Download It?

dash2128 — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 02:40:01 +0000

Unfortunately, ever since I downloaded Beta 4.11, one thing after another has gone wrong; ..from bugs that affect my mouse (only in DS 4.11), to Smart Content Issues.

So I wish to uninstall 4.11 and reinstall 4.10 (which worked smoothly for me.).

(That may not solve my problem, now, since Smart Content is...dead. Content Library is...also dead. ...and none of my save files will load up as anything but (files are missing) grey boxes. Right now, DS is...on life support.)

However, I wish to reinstall 4.10, and troubleshoot from there.

How do I locate 4.10?

And Should i uninstall 4.11 first?

I was going to buy the new Head Shop but Head Shop 10.2 doesn't work

Richard John S — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 08:05:14 +0000

I was going to buy the new Headshop plugin which was released today, but then I remembered headshop 10.2 doesn't work. Can someone tell me why I keeo getting this error. I followed everything in the tutorial. This happens when I go to export.

EDIT: Also, autodots don't move when I drag them. The video shows them being able to be dragged.

EDIT2: Does this plugin also create body textures to match with the head as well?

How do i make an object texture lighter in Iray?

Rowan_Jedi_Knight — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 03:48:51 +0000

I am far more familiar with 3Delight use of the diffuse channel, but i am trying to work with Iray now. But i can't figure out how to make a texture look lighter (or darker). There are so many technical terms i am not familiar with! I don't even know what to look for in articles. Help! I'm sure it is very simple--but i'm not grokking it.

Unable to see figures/objects

agchickenlittle — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 15:34:43 +0000

When I opened Daz the other day, I wasn't able to see any figures or objects I loaded. All I can see are the boxes around the nodes. I have checked every setting I can think of, but no luck. Scenes render normally, but I can't see what Im working with. I really dont want to have to uninstall Daz, then reinstall everything, but if nobody has a fix, I think I'll have to.

How to I import Marvelous Designer clothes into Daz and fit them?

Robinson — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 13:43:47 +0000

So I wanted to play with making some leggings for G3. I used Marvelous Designer to create and fit them using a base G3 avatar imported as .obj. I made the leggings quad meshes and exported as .obj with welds, single object. Next I imported the .obj to Daz, giving this:

Then I used the transfer utility with these settings:

Giving this:

So my question is, what did I do wrong? There's definitely some important step I'm missing here...

Trouble Accessing Shopping Cart

Problems with tutorials

Bajs — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 19:40:31 +0000

Hi.

I just downloaded the free version of Daz3d in which genesis starter essentials are included. I'm trying to follow the guided tutorials but they don't seem to work very well.

For example, the guided tutorial "A day at the beach" asks me to load up the bare foot dancer, after which i add clothes and so on. At some step it asks me to go into the shape tool, and adjust the breast size. However, I have no such tab to adjust, I can only change the navel and the tie for the bra.

However, I can open up the finished scene from the tutorial under scenes ready to render. If I load that up, it it the same model "genesis 2" and in that scene the "breast" attribute is changeable in the "chest". When following the tutorial there is no "chest" however. Am I doing something wrong? Do you need to buy extra stuff to do the tutorials? It seems it is already there since i can change it in the renderready scene.

I installed das in D:. Ive put the content library in the same folder as the das folder. So Main folder under it, shaders, content, das3d. I have told das to look for content in the content directory manager under my content folder.

i used DIM to download and install all the products. I've told that to put everything that is package and thumbnail in the content folder.

Thank you in advance

Performance Issue With Vyria for Arabella 7

magog_a4eb71ab — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 21:07:02 +0000

Has anyone tried using this character? After loading the base character to an empty scene(no make-ups, hair, or anything else applied yet), navigation in the viewport is slow as molasses. Its comparable to what happens if you have too many characters loaded in a scene with complex clothing, just to give an example. I have around 30 other characters from Genesis 3 & 8 and it is the only one that I'm having this issue with. If I recall correctly, I have a couple other characters from Vyria's vendor and I have no problems with them in Daz 4.10. As with everything else I get here, it was installed via DIM.

At one point I decided to try adding the MDL textures & such for all regions, and it didn't make any difference. Does this particular Genesis 3 character have an abnormally high poly-count or something along those lines? Any recommendations on what I can do in regards to this character's settings to make it more workable?

Genesis 8 figures just don't render...

hqi02211_b9cb2a93d6 — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 02:45:01 +0000

Hi there,

I've tried a few times to render Genesis 8 based figures, such as Kikyo, but rendering stops at 8% and my MacBook Pro 13 inch with OS10.10 just starts spinning a fan without progress. It gets heat but stop rendering. What's going on?

Do Daz lights work at all with Iray?

lou618_2b45855fe7 — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 21:51:09 +0000

I already know that Uber lights don't work, but what about Daz lights? And if they don't work, then what lights can I use with Iray? Using Iray has been a pain in the ass so far.

Genesis 2 Female Left Big Toe doesn't have Transform->Scale

johann.hesters_2e9dd0ece9 — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 14:42:00 +0000

Hello!

When I select Genesis 2 Female -> Left Small Toe 1 -> Parameters -> General->Transforms, I can see the Item "Scale".

However, when I change the "Scale" or "X Scale", it doesn't have any effect.

Now when I select "Left Big Toe", it doesn't even have General->Transforms->Scale

What might be the reason for these 2 behaviours?

Thank you.

How to use the Gen 8 No-Suits?

sjaammons — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 18:06:38 +0000

https://www.daz3d.com/no-suit-for-genesis-8-males

https://www.daz3d.com/no-suit-for-genesis-8-females

I feel dumb but how do I use these on my gen 8 figures? At first I thought it was a wearable but I can't figure out how to use this. Do I graft the figure onto one of my gen 8 figures, or what? I couldn't find a guide on how to use it in the connect files. Any help would be great.

Sleeve Trouble with dForce Mahaut Fantasy Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s)

dawnblade — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 20:29:43 +0000

I'm having trouble with the sleeves on dForce Mahaut Fantasy Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s). I've tried several G8F/V8F poses (this one is from Bedazzling Poses), but after running a dforce simulation (default settings with Better or Best for Collision Mode) the right sleeve on her upper right arm renders like this. I've also tried an animation timeline, but it's not any better. This happens with the base G8F as well as this new character, Neiva HD for Victoria 8.

In addition to the sleeve problem, the crease/opening on the front of the dress extends higher on the red part of the bra.

The read me states: "Items may seem bent or broken when applying certain shapes and or poses but will disappear after simulation" so I must be doing something wrong.

Is there any other simulation setting that will fix this issue? I'm more concerned about the sleeve issue than the bra right now. I've watched the dForce video by Daz and used other dForce products, and so far this is the only dress I'm having trouble with.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I prefer to use Studio 4.8 and haven't downloaded or installed 4.9 as I am affraid if I install 4.9 I won't be able to use 4.8 anymore. Can I have both 4.8 and 4.9 installed on my PC and choose which version I want to use, depending on the content I want at the time?

Exporting Issues

Saint — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 06:30:26 +0000

I've been having this problem for a while and I'd like to know if there's a resolution available. When I export some things from Daz Studio and import them into Blender, for example, certain objects aren't in their original places. This is partiularly frustrating with large environments. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it can be a real headache to try and manually repair. Is there some trick when exporting FBX out of Daz Studio to make sure everything stays put, or is there another method or format I should take into consideraiton? Thanks in advance!

Dialing back character features for Genesis 8 characters?

msep_aec684d3fd — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 21:48:56 +0000

When using characters in Poser, frequently the added features that created the character -- the head and body morphs-- were added in such a way that they created a dial that enables the user to dial back the character's features and to achieve something in between the character and the base figure's original look.

I don't see in Daz Studio where that is possible. Is it? For instance, in using Kaylee 8, there appears to be no way to to reduce the overall amount of the "Kaylee" features to create a more custom look.
