I know I posted a thread regarding this product before but that was prior to purchasing it. Now that I own it, I'm running into some problems. upon loading the envoriment as is and doing a render, this is what I got. (Please see below) obviously way different from the promo images. So my question is why is the scene so dark and did I do something wrong? I know in the images FirstBastion posted here https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/255611/firstbastion-s-suburban-shopping-mall#latest the mall looked pretty good. He did mention something about changing the surface materials. Something I really am not sure how to do. 

Any advice/comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! 

I'd just as soon not find out the hard way if my system is up to the task, having already just replaced the video card again, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what a comfortable set of specs would be to consistently create this sort of thing.

My current system is 64-bit Windows 10 on an Intel Core i5-4690K at 3.5 GHz, with 16 GB of RAM and s GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC with 4 GB of RAM

Thank you for your time.

Lately I have been having quite a lot of problems with getting Iray renders to work. Even very simple scenes render extremely slowly, or worse switch to CPU mode. In this case I mean renders such as a floor, two walls, using the Promo Style Catch Lights for Iray, a single chair and two genesis 3 male characters. With simple clothes (bad boy outfit) it already overflowed my GPU memory and switched to CPU. I have a GTX 1070 and a GTX 950. It's understandable that perhaps the 950 can't handle it, but the 1070 should easily be able to render such simple scenes right?

Anyone know why this is happening? The problem persists after closing and reopening Daz.

How do you do that? Is there a way to keep such products from listing in your account? Or can such a feature be added so, for example, parents can filter the DAZ Shop for content before letting their children see the DAZ Shop?

It's the twice time i do this work. I have the problem on shoulder when i control arm. Look my screenshots.

Thanks for any help.

The problem I have is that the steering wheel and doors are on the wrong side.

Is there a way to invert the Y axis so these move back to the correct side?

I installed D|S 4.10 clean on the new machine, and the export was from another running D|S 4.9 (last version).  I had done it before on another machine months ago to try it out, but never worked on it after. I checked, and it has the same problem (can't edit imported user categories), and it is running D|S 4.9, too.

Help?

Here is an example:

This image works fine

https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/images/593041

But when you click the username, it does not go to the correct link like this:

https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/users/274672/

Instead, it goes to

https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#users/274672/

This is unless you right-click on the link and open it in a new tab.

There is something wrong with that link to user gallery pages in general

I would like to ask if there's a way to make DAZ reload / refresh a texture that I use in the "Surface" tab.

I changed it in an external paint program, and I would like to see the changes immediately.

Currently, the only quick, reliable way for me is to render the image out.

Is there a quicker way?

Thank you very much!

Many thanks in advance

Of course, a simple solution would be to convert an entire G8F character to G3F. However, due to some structural differences (or other things I do not fully understand), and depending on the method used, the conversion of G8F to G3F sometimes gives unpredictable results. By the way, most tutorials show how to convert G3F to G8F, and not the other way around ...

My idea then is to transfer the head only from G8F to G3F. Usually, the specificity of a character resides mostly in the head. Due to the vast amount of parameters involved in each face’s components (nose, mouth, eyes, lips, ears, etc), the face details and subtleties are not easily reproduced. As for the body, it is rather easy to reproduce using the basic tools.

Here is my methodology:

What you need: G3F basic character, G8F basic character, and the morph that transforms G8F into the target character (the one to reproduce).

Load G3F base character. In Mesh Resolution, put Resolution at Base and SubDLevel at 0.

Export G3F as .obj. (Uncheck Write Group)

Delete G3F and import G3F.obj.

Load G8F base character.

Start the Transfer Utility (TU). Use G8F as source and G3F.obj as target. Default on both sides.

After the transfer, unparent G3F.

Select G8F and activate the head morph. If everything went well, G3F should also adopt the desired new face.

Hide G8F (don’t detete it!).

Export the morphed G3F to .obj. (G3F_2.obj)

Start a new scene, and load G3F base character.

Now, by using Morph Loader Pro and choosing the G3F_2.obj you just created, you should be able to create a single dial morph slider. The procedure to do so is widely covered and easily available on the net.

Voilà!

As said previously, I can easily match the original body of G8F just by using dial morphs.

Please make comments if a step is missing, wrong, or not necessary. 

Here is a screen shot on what it looks like. 

If Yes I would like to get them :) as I can now use M3 and V3 clothes with it.

I've created a top for Genesis 8 Female.

When I try to turn it into a real cloth so that it moves along with her, it results in something akward.

I tried using the Transfer Utitily:

I selected "Genesis 8 Female" as the Source, and I selected the "top" as the Target.

In the Options dialogue, I disabled the "Morph Targets" and left everything else as it was by default.

Does anybody know what I could do to make it work fine?

Thank you very much.

I was under the impression DIM would detect im on 64 bit and run on 64-bit or am i missing something?

How can I uninstall the program

I exports my figures as an .obj file and import it to Vue. With V4 it was easy and flawless but when I do this with the Genesis 8 figures it results always with blank eyes.

The materials of the eyes are exported and I can find them in the figure but can't let them show up.

I do something wrong however what?

I attached a prt sc from Gen 8 figure imported into Vue in the right corner you can see the eye material

Advice welcome

There is a wall in which I want to make a perfectly circular hole, so I can see through it. Or more generally, how can I make a hole in a solid primitive? 

How can I do that?

Thanks

I'll be looking to upgrade to a proper workstation soon with the intension of getting a more powerful NVIDIA card primarily because Daz uses IRAY, but I really don't want to spend a lot on an expensive NVIDIA GPU and then find I still get this problem.

As I assume most people here would be using NVIDIA GPUs to capitalize on Daz's IRAY renderring, my question is - is this really a common problem with NVIDIA cards? Is there a good chance I may just suffer this problem again regardless of what my next setup will be or does anyone know a way around this to make sure I won't get this seemingly random and hugely irritating error.

The full message reads: "Display driver stopped responding & has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernal Mode Driver version 397.64 stopped responding & has successfully recovered."

Thanks,

The biggest problem is that the pop-up window that appears when I run the “Recipe Builder” script is so big that it extends below the bottom of my monitor, and I can’t find any way to resize it.

Any help?

Hey everyone,

I recently (well today, actually!) bought the Beaune Courtyard item from the DAZ Store.  It's by Faveral, and having bought from this creator before, I decided to go ahead and grab this as it looks fantastic.

However, I have run into an issue that I have not encountered before - it just will not render. At all.  The model loads fine and I can move around it with ease, but when I hit render (straight out of the box - no props, characters, lights etc added by me) the window opens and it just sits there. I left it as long as 13 minutes(!!) and it was still a blank window.   I couldn't even cancel the render and had to force close Studio.  I have tried multiple occasions now, using smaller render image settings etc but same result.  I am totally baffled. I have a pretty decent spec machine, and it's never failed to render an environment before.  I suspect it's to do with memory (as task manager was showing DAZ using 11.7 GB at the time of the force close!)

I think that the system memory is my system's weak link, ideally I'd like to have it up to 32GB.  Do you think this could be the cause of the issue?  Having said that 16GB is not a paltry amount of memory!  I am sure there are lower memory machines that will render this environment just fine!

My system specs - in case it's of any help

Windows 10 Pro edition // AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core Processor @ 3.20 GHz // 16GB DDR4 Memory // 2x nVidia GTX 1070 6GB graphics cards // 1000W Cooler Master Power Supply  (I think I covered everything?)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist!

John

Thank you.

This popped up and I have no idea what it means.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
