I have a problem with my renders, it went from good to bad then to ugly with in a matter of weeks. Has this happen to anyone else, if so, how did you fix the problem?  Need help badly, I posted three renders with good bad & ugly on them

Thanks for your time

And this blank one is with improved graphics settings. Im going to need quite a bit of help and good ideas of what to try with this one because this isn't something usual or mere zooming error. I suspect it's NVIDIA behind the whole thing.

I would like to go back to hobby.

It's Win 10, 64 bit

Also can not get the any icons to work in my Content Library to work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sine a great many files are being created that are specfic ro DAZ, I am wondering if there is a way to get them to show in Smart Content.

It's such a pain to search through Content Library for a specfic product like Jorja, especially at the rate my Content Library is growing.

Example: When doing a search for Jorja she won't, show as Jorja is listed under "DAZ Studio Formats > My DAZ 3D Library > People > Genesis 3 Female > Characters > Rhiannon"

I am really hoping that with the proliferation of DAZ stuff at Renerosity that others have made the same request.

Is it something to do with using pins and THEN adding keyframe? or... keyframe first, then add pins, THEN animate? it's odd. I just need what i pin to stay still.

Note, the way i animate is i select the entire figure all it's children limbs, add keyframe, pose them and then do that until it's motion. Should do individual limbs instead or?

thank you

It won't allow me to type in my validation code. Nothing. It just makes a ringing sound when i try.

Stumped

Thanks

i just purchased the Wise Wizard HD Bundle. It comes with a "dForce Preset" called "Hood down". I guess it allows me to use the hat by moving the hood off the head. But I have no idea when and to what part it should be applied. I know the basics of dForce, how to animate clothes to a character, but I don't know how to use this preset. I also have no idea how to contact the author of this product to ask them directly.

Any hints are really appreciated.

I have lots of content installed via the DIM. How would I transfer this over?

I have other content installed manually, and I assume I would just paste it into the new directories.

I'm planning to install Daz on the new machine, and then log in to DIM with my account to maybe find the reinstallation procedures. I have my manually installed stuff on an external harddrive already. Is this the correct method? Unfortunately I don't know off-hand where my some of my Daz stuff was installed, like the program itself or the files that get installed through DIM. I've just been using shortcuts from the desktop, but I do know where all my manually installed files are.

Thanks.

Does anyone know how to keep the thickness of the hair intact while having the dforce move the hair with a wind node?

Anyway, I've been using LIE to place a PNG file over a section of skin. I get it in position and it should look like a a big splotch of black (btw, it does this with Tattoos too, but using the splotch as its easier to show). Here I'm showing the splotch and the splotch on the skin of my person. Before I start doing everything with a geo shell, can someone hopefully what I'm missing to make the splotch look solid black? Thanks :)

Now when I try and render in 3Delight all these together I get the attached...???

I know hair and shading can slow a render but I DO beleive the attached is WAY overkill...

What gives?!?!

Thanks in advance. :)

Every so often I get little lines and marks around the temples and forehead of the characters.

Now I've got them showing up in the cheeks.
What does it look like?

Someone took a ballpoint pen and drew little squiggles on the face of the figures.

Anyone know what causes this and how to get rid of it?

Only shows up during renders.

I just don't see where I could make it so that NVIDIA Iray should use only the GPU.

Could anybody please point me to where this settings is located?

I looked just anywhere, but I don't find it.

Thank you!

I have created a skirt texture with tiny transparent regions. They should be see-through. 

The texture is saved as PNG with Alpha channel like this:

I thought that simply putting this PNG into the Diffuse Color slot would do what I want.

However, that's not the case. The transparent regions become white. 

Is there a way to have DAZ automatically do what I want, or do I have to create another texture just to tell DAZ where I want my transparency?

Thank you!
