I.E., I would like to be able to move the view or camera around in a scene quickly.

Thanks

2018-06-02 14:41:29.463 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(5970): Duplicate formula found linking Value & !Aging Head Controller in C:/Directory 2 For Hi Memory Items/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Male/Morphs/Zev0/Aging Morphs 8/!Aging Head Controller.dsf.

Only thing is, I've run into a pretty huge snag. I haven't been able to find any tutorials on how to create nonhuman morphs in such a way that the vertices remain accurately in place so that expressions and other shape keys will still work once they're imported again. I don't know if there's a process for reassigning the vertices to key areas such as the edges of lips or ears, but I know that RawArt is able to keep all the vertices in the same relative position. However, when I use ZBrush and I'm creating something that has very alien looking ears, for example, I'll lose the original placement of those ears and then I know that future morphs and expressions won't work. However, RawArt's morphs still work, for example if I use his Croc character and dial up a smile expression, it will still look like a smile, but if I try to create my own reptilian character and import it as a morph, the shape keys won't line up.

I've been trying to find tutorials online for this but all I can find are related to making very simple face morphs for human characters. This is of course very easy because you can just gently sculpt the edges of the original Genesis models to change the shape while the vertices for the tip of the nose or ear, for example, are still there. Considering that lots of artists like RawArt, Josh Crockett, DarioFish, and TheAntFarm have been able to make very good nonhumans that still have the vertices in the right places for expressions and posing, what I am missing?

However, after I manually install it, I found that it was missing quite a bit and loaded as a textureless black area.
I would post the list of everything it's missing, but it made this post too long. But it's missing the Data folder and just about everything in the Runtime folder.

I downloaded the file directly from my downloads page and added it where it was supposed to be, but it seems that the download offered is what I ended up with.
None of the separate pages for each of the parts mentioned any requirements, so it seems that this vendor forgot to include thise critical files (which does explain why the file size was smaller than I thought such a product would be).

Both my email and password are correct.

Is there any way to reset?

Is it some setting I am missing? I cannot use GoZ because it does not work with Daz. Perhaps it could be explored as a plugin, since it functions (I presume) with the expensive ZBrush program.
Any help will be welcome as I was pleased with my experiments until they went wrong.

Thanks

I can't attach a file?

Whenever I try to categorize one of my Poser format figures into my custom category, it does not show up in the category when I view the category's contents.  If I put a DAZ Studio format piece of content in that category, it shows up.  When I go back to my Poser format content and try to categorize it again, it shows that it is already in my custom category, i.e. the checbox is checked already, but still does not show up in the category view.

What is up?

I am using DAZ Studio 4.10.0.123 Pro Edition 64 bit on Windows 10.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: I looked at my tracelog and it claims the render is reaching it's convergence ratio. Like Maury, I'm pretty sure that's a lie. There is no way this render is done after 30 passes and still grainy/noisy. I don't know what to do to fix it. Increasing the render quality does nothing.

  Well I am hoping to get some tips and or expert advice on lighting speciffic types of scenes. Does anybody have tips of creating light show effects in iray for a club or concert scene? There seems to be several products to do gel effects or flare effects that can be used with haze for 3DLight but not so much for Iray. I would like to have a spotlight through the haze with a few blinking lights in the back ground. Can that be done with reasonable render times in  Iray?

Thanks

I am very new to all this, but like these shoes for my Victoria 7 and 8 people. Would these work?

Set it to render the whole scene and nada. No render. Five and a half hours claiming that it's rendering and nothing has happened. There is no render. It hasn't even started the actual render.

And then the program hangs when I try to cancel the render. The empty render window won't go away and the "render" never quits. Have to force quit the program.

Now, it occurs to me that I *may* have some idea of what is going on. I'd like confirmation.

The one light that I haven't used before is a sun light with a parented spec light which came with one of the sets that the scene is composed of. I suspect that these might be Iray lights. In addition; the sun light came set with a Deep Shadow map. I changed this to raytraced shadows. 

Is this what is likely to be locking the render up?

ETA: Well, it isn't the lights. I replaced all of the lights with lights I'd used without any issues and then set the render up and went off to run errands.

Six hours later, I come home to an empty render window and having to force quit Studio to make it go away. 

Any suggestions of what is doing this?

Error for Darius 8 A Gen Shader:

Missing Files

Some assets needed to load the file were missing. The content may not work as expected. The following files could not be found:

runtime/textures/daz/characters/genesis8/darius8/darius8_veins_arms_nm_1004.tif

Error for Darius 8 B Gen Shader:

Missing Files

Some assets needed to load the file were missing. The content may not work as expected. The following files could not be found:

The files are not present in the ZIP file.

The product page has the following description:

Compatible Figures: Genesis 8 Female, Genesis 8 Male, Genesis 3 Female, Genesis 3 Male

No requirements are listed on the product page; I assume the Darius 8 product should have been listed as a requirement. The shader doesn't seem to be working when I click on the OK button. I can't find a way to contact the vendor.

Edited to add that this is apparently done when saving as shaping preset, so solved!

WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(5737): Could not find output property for formula: Genesis8Male

And:

WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: cHRM chunk does not match sRGB

What is happening here? My savefiles load fine, so it doesn't seem like anything is missing.

The "jumping viewport issue" that was mentioned by many others gets worse and worse... by now, it affects me selecting objects or figures in the scene and trying to move them around with the universal tool arrows: every time I click on one of the arrows to, say, move a figure a bit down, it first jumps upwards and then I can move it... needless to say, this makes the whole program basically unsuable.

Does anybody have any ideas at this point? Support etc. seem to ignore it, since this is an issue that is a few months old by now.

What can I try?

Thank you, 

M.

I've been using Headshop for a while and then installed Daz 4.10. Now, when I try to run Headshop, it fails telling me that the character doesn't have a valid runtime folder. Could someone explain what this might mean and what I might have to do to fix this? I'm trying to use it with a Gen2 character.

Thanks in advance,

G
