Any suggestions as to how to go about doing this?

Thank you!

Recently I acquired one large ssd to accommodate all daz content, so I'm trying to move all Daz files from one disc to another. I'm not being able to combine other discussions' info to complete understand all elements. 

My first action was to uninstall all products on DIM, so I would move only the downloaded content and then reinstall. I also reset the database to clear all info present on PostgreeSQL, before uninstall. Something similar to this thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/210171/products-installed-on-dim-and-pending-on-connect#latest

In the middle of this process I decided to remove some redundant products, like Daz Studio and Poser versions for the same thing, I start to remove the poser ones. 

Now, the part that I don't get it, after uninstalling all products, the folder "My DAZ 3D Library" wasn't supposed to be empty? I only install products from DIM but I also realized that the folder "My Daz Connect Library" is huge with a lot of files. After moving the folders, reinstalling all products on DIM and reimport metadata on Studio, I realized that the poser products that I removed, were all there again. 

I would like to reunite all elements definitions here, that is what I already know and some questions:

1. "\InstallManager\Downloads" everything that I download through DIM is recorded here, as I understood these are the raw format of products.

2. "My Library" is the user folder, where we add our own content or 3rd party content without metadata creation (like on the tutorial Smartening up the Daz Studio Database). 

3. "My DAZ 3D Library" it seems to be the main folder, I'm not sure if the files are added to this folder after DIM installation or after we add them to the database. 

3.1 If I intend to re-install all Daz products, and all my 3rd party are on "My Library" can I completely erase this folder? What files were supposed to disappear after uninstall on DIM?

4. "My Daz Connect Library" I assumed this folder should be used for products installed through Connect. I installed some products in the beginning by mistake, but already uninstalled everything. However the folder is not empty. Should I completely remove the content?

5. "Database" is only accessible after install Postgre using DIM. In the database maintenance:

5.1 "Process the Metadata Queue", this metadata are the information produced by the DIM installation process, I need to make this step to insert info on Postgre or DIM makes this automatically?  

5.2 "Re-import metadata" is used after some product update, or changes on Content DB Editor. I always apply together with "Process Metadata Queue" anyway

5.3 "Reset Database" clear all content inside Postgre without modifying the files folder.

This is probably a mess, if someone could give me some light I thanks in advance.

With Optix off and CPU on, it renders nothing. That is, it "completes" a render of nothing.

With Optix off and CPU off, Daz crashes.

How do I fix this? =( thank you.

Does anyone know how to reset the figures back? Or know where they're saved in the DAZ 3D Library? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and those figures still show up. 

Thanks!

I saw some people using Marvelous to do it, but I did not found a proper tutorial.

Thank you!

This is getting to be too much for my 52 year old brain to handle. 

In short, DS Studio came by way of making it easier and a free alternative to Poser. So why not just make content that is Poser compatible too? After all, except for the layout, both programs do the same exact thing!

I just installed Daz Studio together with Hexagon (Both in latest version). I was able to enter the serial codes which where provided. I tried logging in (so that I can access online features obviously). Every time I log in, Daz Studio crashes and I can't seem to find a way. Please do help

I did leave my latest log file as an attachment. If you need more info, I will be happy to tell you. As of the moment, I think I have given enough.

Thank you in advance.

I was working normally, suddenly, I started to render in Iray and my screen become gray. What I've done?
Render settings is default and I already tried to put a Iray light... nothing!!!

I'm just started to use DAZ Studio and experiment. For now I'm trying to figured out if it's the tool which can make my day for a project or not.
Yesterday it worked perfectly but now I can't export in FBX and get the mesh of the body in maya (or c4D or anything...). I got just skeleton and eyelashes/hair/whatever in maya

I was trying on a new project so I went back to an old which I knew it already worked => still failed
I uninstalled DS and DIM properly, deleted folder and key in my regedit to have something clean => still failed

file -> export and the plugin daztomaya => same problem
Changed fbx version => still failed

The exporter can't give me the mesh and I noticed it doesn't render my textures anymore. It's like le body never existed in DS.
This morning I tried Reallusion character creator + 3D exchange which I uninstalled too.

Here's some pictures it may can help you. I can't see what am I doing wrong there.

So i'm out of solutions and I hope you'll have some to give me :)

Thanks for reading,

Ps : I tried to be clear and go right to the point. As english isn't my first language and I'm tired, my apologizes for that ;)

The readme says.. 

You can find new icons for this product in the following DAZ Studio Categories:

• “Environments:Architecture:Interior”

I have installed with DIM and also manually. Thanks for any help.

I've an issue with rendering of a character based on G8F with some morph made by me...the forhead is not rendered correctly. I already tried to reapply all texture, change light, etc etc. but nothing change. I've this issue only with this character and not with the others I've made. Any suggestion?

Thank you

There are many 3D designers who like their Daz3D objects without any restrictions in other 3D programs - like me.

I need my character with Rig and Posemorphs in C4D - and I'd like to have this character high-res with all the extra-bought HD Morphs!

WHY IT IS NOT POSSIBLE !!! ???
That is incomprehensible to me ...

This is the directory it saved too. The morph files are in there.

data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 3\Female\Morphs\FaceGen\

Does any one know which Daz items were used in this photo to create Thor?

And the same question goes for this photo of Aquaman:  https://www.google.com.mt/search?biw=2040&bih=1232&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=GhLWW-v5B8LQrgTmpJLoCQ&q=aquaman+for+daz3d&oq=aquaman+for+daz3d&gs_l=img.3...132508.133263.0.133446.7.7.0.0.0.0.114.330.0j3.3.0....0...1c.1.64.img..5.0.0....0.9NcceLJtU7A#imgrc=UjpW0dSILIf95M:

I have searched a lot on the Daz store but couldn't come close to those photos... Thanks a lot for your time!

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I have an error report, but of course I have no idea what any of it means... Though I did submit a ticket. We'll see if that produces anything.

For example, 30 frames, Frame 0-15 the bangle reduces to halfway visible, then from 16-30 is where the bangle becomes invisible.

Would anyone know how I achieve this? Thank you!

My main project has a lead protagonist who is a Drow Priestess. As such, she is cruel, violent, and volatile, but the arc of the story is about her redemption.

I thought it would be funny to also produce a meta project where she is vacationing in real world Los Angeles, and being interviewed by me seaside in Venice Beach, as if she were any other up-and-coming actress, playing the role of a Drow Priestess. The rub is that she's not an actress, she really is a Drow Priestess experiencing Los Angeles. Pure fish-out-of-water trope... I can think of a million bits like she originally gated in to Seattle, but didn't like it because the weather was too much like back home and she would of course be wearing sunglasses and an "I Heart LA" t-shirt. Maybe you have to be a D&D player, I dunno.

Anyway, I'm thinking about the technical aspects of doing so, mixing real world footage with the render. What first comes to my inexperienced mind is to set up the lighting, camera position, and camera setting to match the real world setting. I would go to Venice Beach tomorrow and measure out a spot and model it in Hexagon.

If that isn't an unworkable idea from the git go, I see the need for, say, the part of the table and bench she would be sitting at to map to the alpha channel where it occludes her, so that I can simply compose the rendered images on top of the real ones. This is fundamentally different from transparency, where the pixels would map to the rendered object behind the rendered transparent one, which is not what is needed. Maybe a green-screen object or something?

Or is this sort of thing done in post processing, or am I TOTALLY approaching this incorrectly?

please can someone help me  thanks so much

Has anyone else been seeing slower-than-normal download speeds recently?
