I rely on this product. It is a critical component of my toolkit.

I recently downloaded and installed 4.10Beta. In 3Delight the spotlight is unusable.

is there a solution?

Is there anyway to make G3F clothing fit to a G2F? I don't want to discard these G2F people... :/

(Whenever I hit the Add to queue this warning shows up in the Iray server's log, does it have an effect ? If it does, is there a way to fix it ?)

Edit : I did some digging and the host I'm using seems to run on a docker image wher I can't really increase the buffer size. So can I upload them manually to the server ? I followed a user guide posted on the forum but the file structure seems to be off because I always get "Error: Could not create snapshot". So what file structure when exporting to "mi" files should I use ?

I recently got a new computer with an 8GB nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 card. It's running the latest drivers and there are no hardware or firmware warnings in the Device Manager.

I've got the latest version of Daz Studio (4.10 Pro) running on the latest iteration of Windows 10.

When I do IRay renders, it's like the GPU doesn't exist. It goes straight to CPU and uses it all up, rendering my computer nearly useless for hours at a time (current render = 28 hours).

This is the log from the start of the latest render:

There's no mention whatsoever of the GPU in there anywhere.

What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions on how to get it to see the GPU?

Thanks!

I would like to use the Transfer Utility to "parent" a hat to the head of my model.

I have it placed perfectly on the head, but as soon as I transfer it, the hat gets down onto the model's feet.

How could I do this "correctly"? The hat should stay where I put it.

Thank you very much!

Thanks

Greetings.

I want to move some morphs from Genesis to Genesis 2 male using Generation X2.  However, it is looking in the wrong data folder for what figures I have available, and cannot find either genesis or genesis 2 male.  I've poked around and changed directories where I could, but no change.  At this point, I'm not sure where or how I can tell it to look in the right spot - especially since I've started using Daz connect (which I'm suspecting may be part of the issue.)

I've used it successfully in the past, so I know that at one time everything was set up correctly.  But now... it pretty much only wants to transfer from Genesis 2 female to Genesis 2 female.

 

in my current project I‘ve got a very lage scene (memory wise). I have prepared multiple files which I try to merge into one, but during merging, DAZ crashes. Scene contains 3 G3, 1 G8 and 6 G2 (with lamh, each around 250MB on disk). My computer has 32GB memory, DAZ utilizes around 12GB before crash, rest is “free”.

i don’t want to edit anymore (don’t have viewport visible), only merge and render...

Do you have any advise how to cope with such a scene?

thanks & best regards,

   Peter

Please help me someone. 

Thanks, hope someone can help! 

Dog8 this time trying to use BVHacker to retarget an animation 

but it is an ongoing issue with aniblocks and even genesis 3 and 8 compatibly with Carrara

the bone names you see in the scene outliner do not match the hidden ones revealed upon export, import into other programs 

it causes a plethora of issues and I don't understand the reason for it.

I have a problem with geografted item for Victoria 8. It has the same shaders, matching maps and maps are made so that the blank area is more or less the same color as the map itself to avoid the seam.

The geograft works normaly and looks like it matches with no visible seam but when I render it in iray there is a dark seam wich is barelly visible when the light shines directlly on it but it is horrific when I put

the light behind the figure(shown in the attached image)

Please help, getting desperate.

I recently encountered a load error when changing a material preset I had created for one of my products.  The error reported was that DAZ couldn't find the texture file, and gave the absolute pathname instead of the relative pathname.  I opened the material .duf file in a text editor after extracting it and found that the absolute path was coded into the duf file. 

When I saved the product originally, it did not do this using the default material.  The default material loaded fine when I loaded the product on to my character model.  The error only occurred when I attempted to load a material preset (including, interestingly, the one matching the default material).  This means that DAZ decided to pick on my material .duf files.  I had to recreate the material presets and re-save them in the Materials folder, after which I verified in notepad that this time, DAZ coded the relative path names instead of the absolute path names, and the error went away.

I seriously doubt that this could be a bug.  It's never happened before, and since I would rather not incorporate an extra step into my product workflow, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on what I might have done wrong in the first place so that I can understand better.

I'm using DAZ 4.10, and this is not the first product I've created on it.

Thanks in advance,

Causam

"MERCHANT RESOURCE: These morphs are for a final user as well as to be used as a merchant resource, provided your character is for sale, not for free. You can use these morphs mixed with your existing head morphs or reference them and list them as a requirement. You can't repack these morphs in any way, totally or partially, or claim them as your own."

I'm trying to understand precisely what the bolded part means.  So if I load G8F, use the above morphs, export to .obj, make more modifications in Blender, re-export back to Daz and set up my head and body dials.... with the expection to market the final result to Daz.... is that or is that not allowed?  If not, then any clarification as to why not would be much appreciated.

My main confusion revolves around what is meant by the word "mixed" as opposed to "repack".  It seems clear I should not be allowed to include any of the morphs in my own product (i.e. repackage them).  But then what else would the word "mixing" mean?  Wouldn't it be the same thing?  Or does mixing refer to the workflow I described above (exporting to .obj, modifying, reimporting, etc.) -- which is allowed?

Furthermore, if I modify a mesh in Blender in a way that ends up being virtually the same as a modification made first through Daz with the above morphs.... Is there a problem here?  I mean, how and where are the IP lines drawn? 

Obviously you wouldn't create in Blender a character virtually identical to an already existing product (although with so many characters available there has to be overlap in meshes).  But these are morphs which offer a creator an easy route to creating a character, or even the prototype of a character, which you could then recreate in Blender.  If you do that, at that point are you on firm ground IP wise?  I'm just flailing around here, in hopes I might approximate the actual answer to my questions.... :-)

Really hoping to understand this all better so as to steer clear of trouble and not step on any toes.  Thanks!

When I load Michael 7 or any character made off of him, such as Mateo, etc., he comes in as the generic Genesis 3 Male without Michael's body and head features. When I look at the parameter dials, it shows Michael 7 is dialed up to 100l%, which isn't true. Every other character loads just fine. It seems that it's only Michael 7 who won't behave. I tried deleting him and reinstalling him, but to no avail. I tend to use more Genesis 8 figures lately, but I do still use Genesis 3 for certain characters I use regularly, so this is a problem.

My other problem might be related, but I'm not sure. When I open DAZ Studio, I don't get the intro screen that asks me if I want to work online or off line. Everything was fine yesterday morning. It was yesterday evening when I noticed these things happening.

I don't want to put in a ticket until I know there's no easy fix for this and there are so many DAZ pros out there who know how to fix almost everything, so I wanted to try this first. I'm reluctnat to uninstall DAZ Studio and reinstall it because I've had problems in the past when I did this. Does anyone out there have an explanation for this? I've had a lot of problems with DAZ Studio for the past couple of months now, so I don't know if it's the software or if it's just some "dumb blonde" thing I've done to break it.

Thanks for any help you might have.

I can browse to the file location, and everything is there, so I assume registration is the problem, so how do I re-register Measure Metrics.

I downloaded with DIM thinking it would give me a registration pop up, but that did not happen.

Thanks, LB

So....yesterday I kicked the Bootie of my Stonemason wishlist and got some things that were just too good to pass up with the sweet sale. Still a full 12 hours later, none of them have shown up in Daz Connect. Now I gather that this is just a thing that I have to deal with given how no one ever seems to say anything apart from, "open a ticket." I feel like it's a bit pointless to go to that trouble because invariably once I do and the ticket gets it's customary 5 day turn around window, that issue always seems to have sorted itself out. I'm guessing this has something to do with the load sharing servers maybe and which ever server my install of DS connects with on load hasn't yet seen my purchases.

Apart from manually downloading these new purchases, is there any way to force Ds to sort of Refresh with all or at least other servers and see my purchaes faster?

I’m getting white outlines instead of black lines when I Render using “Scripted 3delight>outline”. The Fresnel reflected LR9K outlines work fine though.

I tried changing the “Scripted 3delight>outline” line color to black, but it always reverts back to white lines when I reopen the render tab.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
