then i importe it in daz because i like working on daz.so i begin to build a skelleton for the ship to have bone to all animated things in it.

when suddenly i have a big problem. i create a rear big door who have a big "action pivot" on his low,then there is little arms build on it to hold his weight.

i create all the child bone door>bone pivot1>bone pivot2>bone pivot3

the problem is how to fix/lock the last bone to forbid it to move in translation ?

thanks

Yeah i know "this newbie and his dforce problems again."  

I'm trying to make an animation with Genesis 8 figure and a dforce cloth. Everything works fine except when the character's arm touches the clotch even for a split of a second, it sticks with the arm for the rest of the simulation. I tried to simulate it with many different options but nothing worked.

I appreciate any type of help.

Does anyone know where is this leather jacket is which is worn on this genesis 8 character made by Mousso?

Thanks Winton 

I suppose that I came to the wrong conclusion? (In my favor is the fact that Lightwave3D can do that sort of thing.)

C:/Program Files/DAZ3D/DAZStudio4 - Where Studio is installed
E:/Program Files (x86)/DAZ 3D/DAZ3DIM1 - Where DIM used to be installed before it switched to 64 bit.

It looks like most of the files in the second one are just copies of what is in the first one. Is the one pointing to the DIM directory even supposed to be there or needed? It seems like I could remove it and delete the old 32 bit DIM folder but I wanted to make sure it isn't needed for some reason. None of those files are in the new DIM directory for the 64 bit version and no directory is listed for it under the "Applications" tab.

(Yes, already closed and opened again!)

Facts: Figure - Genesis 8 female, 1 dress, 2 hairs - one with long braids. Bare feet :) All textures is the RSL version - except skin and eyes. ( But I guess I will have to change to MDL textures?) The light is flat, very even and soft-shaded. Render resolution must be approx. 5000 x 2000 pixels on a tranparent background.

I need a flat shaded but photorealistic render. From here I'll work my 'way back' to a less realistic look in Photoshop. I do need details in the braids (Marigold Hair) and also in the clothing and the eyes otherwise I cannot apply the filters I use in Photoshop.

So hit me with your fastest most detailed super smooth Iray render settings - pleeeeeeeease  - screendumps are very, very welcome ! 
​And also where do you - yes YOU - 'tick off' the background and the floor in the Iray render ?

I'll be eternal gratefull 

Damn thing is, my C drive is on a chip and my D drive is on a seperate disc, not a partition. Daz won't fit on my C drive. I have too much content. I would appreciate it if someone could walk me through this without getting too technical, I am dumb as a rock.

When I install manually , it says "That it can't find the Installation Path"

I tried a RegEdit solution that I found online but that fails as well.

Is Decimator an abandonded product? because if it is I will want a refund.

Need again your ad!

Object: My modeled catsuit

Action: I rigged it for G3F ready to make jCM modifiers.

What I ask: How to fix the weight in the pic I posted here?

I mean, as you see in the pic, bending side side the legs, the catsuit seems like rubber. So, I want to fix that. I know that I want to use the weight paint brush and more, but ... when I paint over the blue/red zone, I move milions of polygons and instead flatting and compact the polygons, I get something like mountains with disordered polygons and broken mesh. I see in many videos they using the paint brush like a Photoshop, painting like using a color. Result, all the polygons are disordered.

 Lol!!!

Thanks!

This is more of a bug report than actually looking for a solution (since my solution is typically just to disconnect my second monitor when i boot up DAZ if i left DAZ open on the second monitor).

However, if you start up/boot up either DAZ studio or the Install Manager on a second monitor, they will as the title say freeze up and become unresponsive.

This only happens on the second monitor (the one assigned as 2), and the same happens if i switch the monitors (which rules out it being a problem with the monitor itself).

You can still start em up with both monitors connected, but only if they start on the monitor assigned as the main monitor.

Thanks.

Pasting a pose implies only a figure pose.  Apparently not in Daz, it also means paste the exact location on the timeline with the pose.  If this is how it functions which it is then it is essentially a useless function unless you want everything on the same frame.

According to the description, it is suppose to include 4 full bodies, 22 full heads, 11 partial bodies, 56 partial heads, etc. Well, my entire folder contains only 40 items and 12 of those items are loincloth textures.

Unless I'm not understanding something, a LOT of stuff is either missing or not as advertized.

I purchased this package because I was mainly interested in the shiny alien morph -- the guy that looks like Silver Surfer. But he is nowhere to be found.

The install was done via DIM and I tried re-installing it via a manual install but I still can't find him any where. Can anyone point me in the right direction and / or instruct me how I can go about getting a refund for something that wasn't as advertized?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

In what fashion does one delete things. (Yeah, I know. You select them then delete them.)

So this is what I find interesting.  I never thought about it:

And, you have the option to automatically delete the installer once a product has been installed in order to help you manage available disk space.

Oops. I mean: How do I do this?

AMD Phenom II 3.2 gHz 
16 gb RAM
Geforce GTX 980 Ti - 6 gb VRAM

And yet I seem unable to produce the most basic IRAY renders without 6-8 hours of render time and even then the results are very noisy.  The attached file took approx 6 hours.  I'd be grateful for any advice as to what I might be doing wrong.

Then the prompt then flags up as Iray Uber Shader does not exist in the folder In DazStudio4.10.

Just how can I then resolve this ongoing issue??? Please Help.

Jason Usher

to follow the workflow I mentioned prior? Is the distortion I'm getting a weight painting issue and if so can I use blender to rig and weight paint the shirt and then import it into daz3d?
Any help would be much appreciated!

As you can see it has the item name stenciled ont eh sides and chest and shoulder of the wardrobe. I thought it was just a sample that was stenciled on, but apparently it is stenciled on ever material choice. is there a way to edit that annoying stenciled lettering off of the wardrobe?

Thank you,

I also installed CUDA toolkit 9.2 (while installing, I unchecked Visual Studio integration, it was causing error{Installation failed}) 

I have only tried rendring from Iray, which is actually using only CPU. my GPU is like 0% usage, while CPU is 99%. I havn't tried 3Delight. 

please help, Thank you.

I wanted to ask, does anyone use Quadro graphics cards for rendering? 

If so, is it alot faster for rendering? 

If anyone has any solutioins I sure would appreciate them.  My hair is thin enough as it is, I don't want to pull out anymore :)

Thank you

I'm trying to use the transfer utility to transfer a genesis 8 rig to a target item that is not located at origin (its transform is not zero).

The item is supposed to be a wearable that has a custom rig already. It is positioned on the genesis 8 character where it is supposed to be worn.

I can transfer the rig with 'merge hierarchies' so that the item's custom rig is preserved. The problem is that this moves the transferred genesis rig to the origin of the target item. Can this be avoided somehow ?

Thank you for your answers

Thanks
