Morphs fail in Unity when anim controller active

FurGamStudio — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 11:05:37 +0000

Hello, When I export in fbx format to be used in Unity (2017.1 and 5.6) my morphs don't work. The animations work ok but the morphs (called blendshapes in Unity) are all set to zero and cannot be changed in inspector nor in script. If I turn off animation controller then the morphs work perfect. Any clues why? I will try tonorrow to import fbx into cheetah3d and reexporting then reimporting back into Unity. Fingers crossed. Thanks Joseph

Daz to Mixamo and back, lost morphs?

FurGamStudio — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 00:10:39 +0000

Hello,

I just did a quick test and it's cool one can import anims from mixamo into DAZ!

However, I seem to lose my morphs.

Anyone know how to retain morphs back onto mixamo animated fbx file import?

Thanks!

Can't see what's loaded in Daz Studio 10.1

martymack1 — Sat, 02 Jun 2018 00:44:48 +0000

I unsuccessfully rendered a scene and when I restarted Daz I couldn't see the objects I loaded. I reinstalled it twice, but had the same results. Does anyone know how to fix? The object in this scene is supposed to be a simple squirrel.

Ultimate Grass + Reality + general problems

rionoirble — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 22:28:11 +0000

Has anyone used Ultimate Grass and Meadow Worldbuilder with Reality 4.3 sucessfully? Whenever I try to render even just a premade scene with no extra characters it exports about 7% then the log reads "Unable to find instance named 'NO_GUID'" about 75 times, then it continues to render the scene but obviously without whatever it was looking for because it looks completely awful. I've been running into a lot of issues with the Ultimate Worldbuilder in general even with Iray as well (CPU, GPU, both, it doesn't matter), I thought Reality might help but not at all.

I have a GeForce 970 and 16 gb of ram, about 50 gb available on a SSD drive. I feel like I should be running a lot faster than I am?

rigging issues, weigh mapping or something else?

kittynoir — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 20:01:53 +0000

Hello, I'm not sure if this was talked about before. I created a model that has a lid and weight mapped it. I added bones but when I move the dial to open, this lid opens but then shrinks smaller and smaller as I dial up the open and dissapears and returns when I dial it to close. I'm not sure what's happening, can anyone offer a suggestion? thanks so much

Translucency Map Issues

lface8 — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 18:03:41 +0000

Lately while rendering, I've been running into issues with translucency maps. As you'll see, there's a vast difference in color between the torso and the rest of the body which is odd since I'm using the same settings. I tried unplugging the maps and using the diffuse and got similar results. Has anyone else run into any issues like this and is there a solution?

Making ALL of my Purchased Poses Appear in the Smart Content Panel

sjaammons — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 09:01:04 +0000

I have a problem with a lot of my purchased pose options (genesis 8 poses specifically) not appearing in the smart content panel. Messing with the "sort" option causes some to appear and others to not.It's a tad frustrating looking for them in the content library, so I wanted to ask, is there a trick or feature to making it so that ALL of my pose options are available in the smart content, or do I just have too many poses for the smart content folder to show?

Viewport problem

MikeO — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 11:35:37 +0000

Make Shader Preset use Previously Assigned Color in Studio?

digitani — Wed, 30 May 2018 02:45:12 +0000

I am working on a toon shader for DAZ Studio, and it works the way I want all except for one thing: The color is hardcoded into the shader preset / shader. I want it to work like the DAZ Toon Shader Presets where it uses the previously existing color as the base color for the toon shader. Does anyone know how to do this or if it is possible? I was not able to find a way short of writing a script to apply the shader preset and then alter the color automatically.

Super Natural Brows suddenly importing white (solved)

Samanthie — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 14:24:01 +0000

I am using Super Natural Brows and have exported and imported a few sets just fine but now all of a sudden the brows are importing white. Also there are three hair textures that should be listed in surfaces but after import there is only one. I can use that and change the color/texture but it worked fine before and the three hair options were there when I imported the brows. Thanks for any help.

Just another duplicated folder in data file, deleted that and started over and it worked correctly.

SS Sun Node

nonesuch00 — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 18:40:26 +0000

I am using the iRay Sun+Sky SS Sun Node.

1) Created a DAZ Sphere Primitive Scale 20%

a) Tramsmitted Color (1, 1, 1), Chromatic, SSS Color (1, 1, 0)

b) Emission Color (1, 1, 1), Emission Temperature (6500), Two-Sided Light, Luminance 1000 kcd/m^2

2) Translate (X,Y,Z) (-3000, 0, -11000)

3) SS Sun Node sun...

a) the DAZ Sphere Primitive I created above

b) SS Sun Disk Intensity 1, SS Sun Disk Scale 3.9, SS Sun Glow Intensity 2, SS physically Scaled Sun On, SS Haze 2, SS Blue-Red Tint 0.025, SS Saturation 1, SS Horizon Height 0, SS Horizon Blur 0.10

So It looks OK except the sky above gradient to grey instead of sky-blue or night-blue.

Is there a reference page to say what each of those does?

Logo Images on Genesis 8 Clothing

asheraarongray — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 05:39:56 +0000

When working with genesis 3 clothing I was able to update the base layer with a logo, or any other image in order to have the characters work for my products. Is there a way to do the same thing with genesis 8 clothing?

The London Red Bus Is Not Rendered Properly.

jasonjangel_524013e510 — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 16:57:16 +0000

Hi There. I am then using DazStudio 4.10. I have then downloaded the OBJ model from

the 3D Warehouse and the bus model then looks and feels a ok non rendered. But

whenever I then get to render this model. The rendering then ends up like this.

Not very ideal. Anyone out there can tell me how to clean up the model so I can

then render this model perfectly and not like described in the image below.

What I do in the textures tab in DazStudio? Jason Usher

Daz 4.10 freezes Win 10 when using Morph Sliders

notiusweb — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 19:20:42 +0000

Using 388.13 Nvidia driver on Win 10 Pro, every 3d application and renderer I use is fine. But man, every time I move a morph slider in Daz, the system will every 10 seconds or so freeze, then unfreeze, and this pattern repeats over and over, even after closing down Daz. So I have to re-boot the whole system. When I use Daz, I use the numeric type-in fields instead, and it works fine. I can predictably repeat it too, sometimes ity happens right away, other times I was lucky and it worked fine and then later would get screwy.

One time it even froze where it went to Blue Screen 'Machine Check Exception'.

Also, I noticed if I have several apps open (ie Browser), and if I switch back and forth, Daz then will go into a freezing pattern, but it does not repeat like it does when I use the sliders. Just weird all around. But just with Daz 4.10, and it happened in the Public build of 4.10 as well I had when I was using Win 7 64. It works all fine if I just type in the values and stay in the app. Never happened in 4.9 series of Daz on my machine.

Anyoneone else ever experience stuff like this?

-Regards

How to make dForce ignore an item?

Kid_Kaboom — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 15:28:55 +0000

Hi!
I've been wondering if there's a way to make for example a dForce dress/cloth ignore/not collide with attached props like tails when simulating?
In my case I usually modify textures and cutout opacity to make "tail holes" in clothing and then I hide the tail during dForce simulation.
This isn't a huge bother but I'm just curious.

Thanks for any help!

I keep buying cool Dforce clothes... no idea how to make use of it in still images...

jmlynch2k — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 03:33:56 +0000

Please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance! <3

Help Please!

paulcafuk — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 23:21:53 +0000

Greetings!

I'm new to Daz Studio and I'm slowly, but surely, figuring it out. I've been trying to export a Genesis 2 figure with the Super Hero Suit over to Poser 11 Pro and every time I do, you can barely see the suit. From what I can ascertain, it has something to do with the way it looks in Daz before I export it. Here's is a before and after pic. Any help would be awesome! I finally got it looking good in Daz! My Google Foo had left me and couldn't find any other topics about it until now. I still need help with the Poser thing tho. I've attached a screenshot of what that looks like. Interestingly enough his boots look normal.

Thanks!

Hi Guys, I wanted to ask you all, what is the best CPU you would recommend for performance

so that you don't get alot of lag such as viewing/working your models and animation on the viewport?

Thanks Winton

Iray Worlds SUPERPAK

JMCarrigan — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 20:31:36 +0000

I now have added Iray World Superpak to the SkyDome and although I have a lot more I am still confused about how to use a great portion of them.

I can use the scenes but I am having an impossible time figuring out how to use the MATS, The Spin Worlds or Spin Skys, etc.

I guess I should use the other Custom Help to get a handle on this.

How to parent a pendant to an existing necklace?

mlominy — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 02:23:06 +0000

By using primitives, I've just made a small cross pendant that I want to hang to an existing necklace for G3F (I bought the necklace from DAZ).
When loaded, the necklace parents directly to the G3F character and follows all the moves and adapts to the proportion or size of the wearer.
I've exported the pendant as an obj, loaded the necklace on a G3K base character, imported the pendant and positioned it to the correct position.
Now, how do I parent the pendant to the chain, so it is linked to it and follows its movements?

Figure Setup Question

rpirpag_4b25002b50 — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 16:50:58 +0000

Hello,

Today I tryed the first time to use the Figure Setup. The model I created in Blender3D. In Blender I exported as a .obj file and imported this
file into DAZ. I tryed to use the tutorial: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/userguide/creating_content/rigging/tutorials/adding_bones_for_rigging/start.

But when I create the figure the bones are in horizontal direction. Does anyone can tell me what I do wrong?

Thank you,

Reinhard

How to get the dogtags (V4/M4) work with Genesis ?

AndyS — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 08:39:27 +0000

Hi,

in the recent promo of Caine I see a nice dogtags necklace. What is it?
Really some time ago I got the dogtags for V4/M4. But I can't get them to work on Genesis 1,2,3,8. They get terribly deformed when I put them on the newer characters.
I have the necessary "++"-morphs installed and the characters are able to autofit clothing of the others.

What is the trick?

Manual Install - missing content

77johnl_34deb7de46 — Fri, 06 Oct 2017 20:23:03 +0000

Hello! Sorry if the answer is here somewhere, I tried searching and couldn't find it. I've actually been trying for a week now. Anyway, I'm trying to install some content by MCasual - specifically his guitars, like this one

https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts5/mcjteleblaster

I download the zip file, I unzip it into the stated directory:

C:\Users\public\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library

...; but I can't find anything in the content library or Smart content. I've don't everything I can think of: searches come back empty, even with the metadata ticked on. I've restarted, of course, I've searched multiple times for new content, directories, etc. I've searched through "All Files" but it isn't listed there. I can't figure out how to search by file location. I'm using DAZ 4.9, but I still have 4.7 installed, and can't find it with that one either. I do have, through backup processes, multiple copies of everything, but I've made sure to install it into each directory and still nothing.Any suggestions? Thanks!
