I installed DAZ3D Studio and everything I can choose:

When opening Daz3D I have no content top choose from:

As you can see I changed the default folders. The Manager is installed on HDD e:\ 

I don't want the stuff to be in my main drive C:\ because it's just a SSD for windows.

I am using Windows 10

p.s. I’m not the only one with this problem. My friend is having the same issue. 

I know it is or was possible as I've seen it in the tutorials.  Presenter said use control key to select multiple nodes which is what I would have thought.

Unable to select more than one node in the Keymate tab.  If I select multiple nodes in the scene tab only the last one is selected in Keymate.

Rather frustrating for what I am trying to do which is set keyframes or a bunch of nodes with no common parent.....

Also while I am here, Keymate seems to hear and create a keyframe for changes to transformations but not pose controls?  Should I not be using pose controls when working with Keymate?

Any help appreciated.

I'm trying to think of a way to go about explaining what I'm hoping to do, so please forgive me if I leave out any details. I recently purchased Swole 7, which thanks to specific JCMs, bends and poses beautifully for such a large-framed figure. I have a character that I would very much love to use these JCMs on - however, the actual Swole 7 shape is not something that fits him. Rather than "bodybuilder", he is more "strongman" in body type...if that makes any sense. Less oily muscles and stage lighting, but equally as large. He suffers from the same bending and posing problems, especially in the upper arms/inner elbows and the side of the neck (there's an actual fold there...eek). Is there any way to use the Swole 7 JCMs on him? When I created him, I did select Swole 7 as a base, however I'm not using the actual Swole 7 body shape, which the JCMs appear to be dependent upon in order to activate when you pose the figure. I've attached some screenshots to hopefully illustrate what I'm looking at.

First attachment - Swole 7 (left) vs my character (right) - note the awful posing problems in the upper arms/inner elbows on my character (and that awful neck fold) contrasted against the beautiful bending on Swole 7
Second attachment - Swole 7 JCMs active on Swole 7
Third attachment - Swole 7 JCMs not active on my character (if I were to dial in the Swole 7 body, then they would activate - however that would change my character's body (obvs))

I'm not sure if it needs to be said, but this is for my own personal use and would not be shared, etc.

Oh, and I also have SimTenero's Zone Smoother - which helps with the inner elbows, but does nothing for the upper arm or neck. It's an amazing concept and I use it on other characters, but there's just too much icky folding for that to fix here.

I put together a LAMH model of a wolf in Daz and have been trying to export it as an FBX and open it in C4D.

When I do so the model looks like this with bulging eyes as well as being a little bit offset from the fur 

Anyone know a fix? I'm guessing it has something to do with the textures. Thank you!!

As far as I can tell the Zebra was offered with Millenium Horse.

Someone straighten me out...?

Thanks

I could write the script myself but I thought I'd check first. Or maybe there's a Secret Sauce shortcut to untick the Limit settings on all the nodes for a given surface. D|S has a lot of Easter Egg features, but there's only so much time in the day to hunt for them.

     I have hundreds of assets that I've accumulated over time, and I did a half-ass job of installing them: I placed them into a "assets" folder in my documents and used the content directory manager to install them to Daz. The problem is, that now it's a ROYAL pain to find the items that I need, when I need them, and it completely throws my workflow off. I'd like to correctly install the assets into "My Library" in order to take advantage of the category function, but now I can't get rid of my old folders that are empty and just sitting in the directory listing. I've tried using "rest database", but it does nothing to the list. I know I can go to each individual folder and right-click > remove base directory. But I was wondering if there was a way to remove them all at once instead of clicking through hundreds of folders to delete them, only to have the list collapse and have to re-open it for each one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm currenty running 4.10 Pro. Thak 

Does anyone know if DAZ (current version) supports SLI bridges and will allow the 'spread' of tasking across both cards?  My thinking is this will help speed up renders at the higher resolutions and more complex set ups and such.

Thanks in advance for any information available.

So i've researched this topic before and there seems to be an issue coming up with CMS which I'll get to...

I recently had to re-install daz and install content on a secondary drive because my SSD was filling up.

1. I Installed the DAZ app on my main drive program files folder (which I think was correct)

2. I set conent to be downloaded to a secondary drive - however, instead of all the content being organized into "scene, runtime, etc" it's just a big stringout of XML files and ZIP Files.

3. When i open DAZ and connect the content library, i get everything showing up in my smart content so I think i did it right - HOWEVER, when I try to autofit anything, there is always an "unsupported" option with no genesis autofit options available (when normally I'd have all of the options).

- I'm wondering if this has to do with my CMS settings and if i need to install somewhere specifically - OR if this has something to do with the content library folder not being organized...

Hope this is enough info to get sorted!

Thanks so much guys, sorry for the noob question!!

I have modelled a hat, and on the hat, there are roses. 

I exported the hat and the roses as separate OBJs.

When I imported the hat on Genesis 8 Female, it snapped right onto the head because I modelled the hat "on" the model in ZBrush.

However, when I import the roses, they are obviously placed at 0, 0 although I modelled them "on" the hat (in the same location), so they're at her feet.

I could set the roses' translation manually, but I'm not sure if that's what I should do.

Can anybody suggest how this should be handled?

Thank you.

I would like to ask if somebody could recommend a tutorial on how to save clothes properly if one wants to publish a product.

So far I haven't been able to locate one.

I have been able to find a tutorial on how to save a model for publishing, but not for clothes.

My product contains a model with a skirt, shirt and a hat.

The hat is composed of a "base", then there are roses and leaves on the hat.

I would therefore also like to ask if all 3 "items" should be saved as one prop or as 3 different props so that the user can hide either the roses, the leaves or both.

Thank you very much!

My question is: what NVIDIA graphics card should I get? There are so many out there. Are they all the same for rendering purposes? Here is a list of card I have found in older iMacs (the newer only offer AMD Radeon):

GTX 675MX MD096D/A
GTX 780M 4096
GTX 660M 512MB 820-3298-A
GeForce GTX 660M 512
GeForce GT 640M
Geforce GT 750M
GeForce GT 755M
GeForce GT 775M
680MX A1419

It's not showing in the Panes tab. So I read the manual: 

In some cases, GenX might be missing in the main menu of DS4. This may happen due to
menu customization. In that case, use Edit/Customize from the main menu and add the
GenX entry on the left side under Panes to the main menu on the right side. It also helps
usually to select a different layout or reset the current layout for the workspace.

So I followed these instructions (it's Window / Workspace / Customize now) and tried to find it in there.

It's not showing up anywhere.

Uninstalled. Re-installed. Re-installed using the downloaded files instead of install manager. Changed to different layouts as also recommended.

Any idea where I go from here? I'm missing my X2. :`-(

When I open up some panes, the navigation controls of the viewport (Single View) get hidden under the AuxViewport.

When I switch the ViewPort to "Side by Side", the yellow frame gets into the correct position again, and the navigation controls are shown, but I would like to have Single View.

Is there a way around this behaviour?

Thank you very much!

So now I've got a directory full of content that relies on morphs that are not in a location the scene can find when the scene is loaded.

Just wondering, based on this screenshot, what are these file locations relative to? In other words, what comes before the word "data"?

So here's the installation:

Daz is installed in the public documents directory as it does by default. 

The directory with the scene is in my Documents. The folder is linked in the content directory manager as it is supposed to be, so I can load most of the stuff from the folder, just not the morphs.

And I can't remember why there is cube going through him, lol. Must have had some kind of plan in mind!

Suppose I have a folder in Documents (in my user) with all my scenes, imported props (I model props), clothing I've created, and presets for characters I made with, say, Genesis, using lots of DAZ morph dials. My scenes also have morphs applied from the Genesis morph dials, even including fancy Genesis morphs from packs I've bought and were installed in Daz through the install manager. This folder is mapped in the Content Directory Manager and things work just fine. Let's call this directory "Bob Content". The key piece of information about Bob Content is that I'm saving scenes with a DAZ figure's morphs in it.

QUESTIONS

1. Should I do it this way, or is there a recommended place to put stuff I've created so that it migrates easily to a new computer?

2. If I do migrate to a new computer, are there additional steps I need to take besides copying Bob Content to the new computer's Documents and reinstalling DAZ?

3. When you save a scene that includes your own morph dial settings, is there a place besides the .duf file where data is saved? There must be, because when I've migrated computers before, I've lost all the morph dial settings for a figure I saved in a folder of my own--when the scene is loaded, I get errors that they can't be found.

4. I also rig figures that I sculpt. All of that migrates just fine and seems to be completely independent of the DAZ install. I can just move the folder, map it with the DAZ Content Directory Manager and resume working as if nothing happened. Can't do that with a folder that includes stuff I created with a DAZ figure.

I know this is basic stuff, but any help is appreciated.

edit: dang, it looks like these enclosures require Thunderbolt 2 or 3 which is probably a new plugin tech different from USB?

any insights appreciatec! 

Once I have created a Geo-graft, tested it, applied the shaders I want; I'll want to reuse it for future projects.

What do I save it as?

Can some kind soul help me out please. And please don't say forgot about Smart Content. i happen to like it. :)

Thanks for any advice and your knowledge of Daz Studio 4.10
