Been a while since I have been here and used Daz, so any help would be appreciated. As mentioned I just purchased GenX but it does not show up in my serial numbers?

GenX Install directions say below 

• Installing, Starting, and Registering GenX Before you can start GenX2, you need to enter the serial number in the plugin dialog of DS4, which is opened by About Installed Plugins... in the Help menu of the main menu. (You need to restart DS4 after entering the serial number.) Then, you can open the GenX tab from the Window/Tabs menu of DS4.

Looked in About Installed Plugins.  There is no GenX listed - see pic

TIA
 

The Gray Squares in Edit mode :

The render after just a few samples :

The render after many samples :

It seems to be due to the skin itself because I've another character not impacted by this bug on the scene (the images above are a crop of the original render). But I still tried another HDRI for the case of an incompatibility with this skin. I've searched over the forum for this bug : in my case, it seems that it's not due to motion blur because this option is turned off. 

Thank you so much for your help !!

I use the "Send to ZBrush" command in Daz3D 4.10 and it works fine.

Only problem is, that it allways transfers the whole model (with shoes, dress...) to ZBrush.

Is there a way to select a single part (like only the body) to be transferred as a single object, only?

It makes no difference what i select in the scene tab. Daz allways transfers the whole model.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

I have this problem when I open daz3d the program simply turns off my dedicated gpu. It has started after I reinstalled windows 10 and daz3d. After windows I installed every driver and the newest gpu driver then I opened daz and saw that something is wrong because the program is slower than before in iray, so I cheked it and it did not used the gpu at all because it could not find it even tho it showes up in every system information panel. Pc reboot, turned on the option to see what programs run on my gpu. I tried games, they were all fine just like before, and I tried out daz again if it works now but as soon as the program opens my gpu turns off and none of the app-s can see if there is any gpu in my pc. After a couple of reboots and tries where I tested if I only let the dedicated gpu run daz ended in a freeze also when I unchecked the box in render settings to use only gpu and not cpu the program crashed again.

I have tried to reinstall everything like drivers, daz3d but nothing has solved my problem.

Did anyone had this issue or can someone help me with this?

i have a problem with the rig. when i import the rig from daz to maya with the plugin all seems fine.

i start animating and it works as it should. than i safe. open it up again. and it is like the rig and the geometry are unbound or something... its not affected by the rig at all anymore (sometimes 1-2 frames and than it stops) but the animation in the rig is still there .

furthermore the appears now like the rig explodes for one or two frames(no it is not a framerate missmatch)

anyone ideas? i didnt change anything within the rig only parented hair on it and build a fashial rig with the blendshapes so nothing what should affect the rig itself

This worked when I adjusted the figure's Y rotation. Is translation different?

I have a plane in the image where I want to cut the figure.

See image.

I'm going crazy here trying to track this down.  But my surfaces panel has stopped working (Daz 3.10.0.123).

I was doing some LIE editing with the Eclipse suit, and the surface panel just stopped displaying the settings for the Eclipse suit.  I was getting ticked, so I shelved it a week or so back, and went back to work on it tonight.

The panel looks like it should be working, I have the Eclipse suit (or other item) selected in the Scene, expand it in the Surfaces Editor Panel, and select Sleeves, and normally, it would show me all the settings on the right.

Now, all I get is the "What can I do?" text in the panel.  

I've tried other objects, different files, and even pulling up some V4 stuff, to see if I can get it to work.  Nada.

Now please note, if I choose "ALL" in the Surface Editor, it'll show everything properly.  It is the sub-items in the list that are not showing up.

Please any suggestions would be welcome.

Partial Update / Clarification:

Expanding the items, and then selecting each and every subsection (eg General, Diffuse, etc) does display the selections. (Thank goodness)

So as an example:

* Skirt
      * Apron
             * General
             * Diffuse
             * Specular

Originally, I would click on Skirt or Apron, and I would get all of the subsettings listed on that panel.  Now, it appears that I have to click down through the entire list.  Previously clicking on Apron would roll up all the sublistings very much like it does with the object parameters.

I don't recall changing any settings that would affect this, nor any updates, maybe a Windows update broke something???

I can't find any previous discussions on this topic in the forums.  My SSD drive is full so I was looking at ways to clear up some space.  I was shocked to see that under the "Control Panel > Uninstall or Change a program", Hexagon 2 (version 2.5.1.79) is the largest software installed on the drive, weighing in at 113 GB!  For comparison the next two, largest programs on this drive are Photoshop (2.03 GB) and Substance Painter 2 (1.41 GB).  How is this possible?  Has anyone else have had a similar experience?  I am contemplating uninstalling and reinstalling it to see if this fixes this bloat.

Nothing is working and this is a new PC so I know it's not some anit-virus program because I have not installed any yet. 

Help. 

It only says upgrading cms... and thinking but never opening. 

I am pretty noob-ish with DAZ 3d. 

Im trying to aplly a shader to a primitive shape I have opened in my scene.

these are the steps Im following from the very beginning:

Create > new primitive.

Select surface selection tool > click on primitive 

Go to content library > Daz studio formats > My DAZ 3d library > shader presets > Iray > Daz Uber > double click shader 

nothing happens.

Select spot render tool > create selection for spot render 

Nothing happens.

Sometimes there is a slight change to the surface of the object but most often it is black or grey. I think the only time it wasnt black/grey was when I selected the "emissive" shader. then it was white.

I get the same non-result when selecting any of the shader presets that came loaded with my copy of DAZ stufio. 

I have perused the online tutorials but nothing seems to change the results. 

I have seen reference to a "texture toggle" but for the life of me I cant find that and I dont know if thats the fix?

Can someone help?

Thanks for reading,

Joby

Im using Zed's ZClub Lights, and as you can see the Main Characters Top, Skin, Specs all reflect the blue of the scene as does the Bass Player; But the SAX stubbornly remains in an Alternate universe where its a bright sunny day.

The Sax is a very old Simple prop from the RS (Rock School) Set.

I have Tried Various 3Delight Shaders,

or the Original simple shader with or Textures to get the Gold Baseline for the Sax, nothing seems to work to get it interact with the Blue main lights. I have even copied by hand every Channel from the Shirt, with the Exception of the Diffuse; where the Metal Texture lives. The Sax just Screams; while everything else seems to be reacting properly to the light.

I am just at a loss to figure why this one prop is so out of sync with everything else in the frame.

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.
