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,

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,

How do I make/save cardboard primitives?

DO i save scene off a group / one model as a png with no shadows and then import taht into a primitive and save?

Thank you

I have the current version of daz studio installed DAZStudio_4.10.0.123_Win64

and the current version of Measuremetrics installed DS4_MeasureMetrics_1.4.0.123_Win64

My issue is that I downloaded and installed it because it had been updated for Genesis 8 , or so I thought.

At first , I uninstalled the previous version to install the new version but when the new version was installed, I restarted my pc then opened Daz studio I noticed there were no measuremetric folders for genesis 8, and I did not have to put any serial number in for the plugin as it was active (green)

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling several times with the same results, I even uninstalled dazstudio and re installed but nothing changed.

If anyone has any advise, it would me much appreciated. 

thank you.

Also I nstalled the 64 bit version so not sure why it is saying 32. And NVIDIA had me install drivers for VR and not sure if that is screwing it up. The VR works fine.

Specifically, I'm wanting to manually add a suppressor prop on some of them, but the muzzle flashes cannot translate forward to the "new" muzzle point on the combined figure.  They look to be either some sort of bone or armature, but I've never gone full "nuts and bolts" in the software (something, admittedly, I need to do).  If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to correct this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

NEVER MIND! I just held the cursor next to the check mark accidentally - and it told me!

I am getting quite annoyed at some features of Daz, to be honest... (not even talking about the "jumping viewport" issue here, which drives me as crazy as all the others it affects).

Imports from Blender (using the same import settings that everybody else uses) are randomly missing vertex groups... why is that? What I mean is if I have an object that consists of 100 vertices, and I split them into 10 groups of 10 vertices each, then export-import. I get maybe 7 groups in Daz... then I go back to Blender, define the groups again (same groups etc. - but I have to start from scratch, i.e. delete the old ones and create them again), export-import... now I get maybe 9 groups... and so on and so forth. It is never all of them.

Why is that? What am I missing?

Thank you & kind regards,

M.

Unfortunately, DIM is saying that I have around 1300 products that need installing, that are already installed.  I make it a point to not delete the .dsx files from the Manifest folder or Download folders (although I do move the .zips to a separate HDD for storage/backup purposes).

What's the best way to get DIM back in sync with my Daz install?

Is there a way to disable this? I haven't seen any options for it.

I just purchased this yesterday and have spent hours trying to get it it to do anything than variations of poof hair.

Supposedly there's tutorial videos. I can't find them. I've experimented blindly with multiple settings without success. I assume this was beginner friendly. It's not. I certainly can't get the hair to look like the promo pics. I might as well try hand modeling regular hair. Is there any support information, tutorials etc? I haven't found any basic "how to anywhere". It's just frustrating to spend this kind of money for nothing.

I am using a bandana that originally included an eye patch as part of the geometry (and had it's own material zone).  Because I don't want to have the eye patch for this scene, I had turned the opacity for the eye patch down to zero.  In previous test reneders everything was fine, the eye patch was not visble in any way.  Yesterday I loaded up the scene to put some final touches and then did a final render and found that I now have this ghost like eyepatch in my renders.

14 hours later I still have this damn ghost patch in some version or another.  Here is what done to try to get rid of it.

* Deleted the bandana and test rendered (trying to isolate which obj was causing the issue incase I had mistakenly added the wrong bump map to some other object in the scene etc.)  When the bandana is deleted from the scene, the problem goes away.  Obviously that is not a solution since I need the bandana in the scene, but I did narrow down what was the problem child.

* Quadruple checked that the opacity setting on the ALL the surface materials that had anything to do with the eye patch were set to zero.

*Removed all bump, displacement and normal maps from the bandana asset.

*reverted my render settings (Iray) back to what they had been before I started having this issue (switch back to photorealistic, sample size and some pixel shading settings)

*Tried to undo all the tweeking I had done that day before trying the original "final" render.  I saved my scene before the final render so I couldn't go back to the state it was before final tweeks.

*Exported the bandana to hexegon and deleted the geometry related to the eye patch and then exported back into daz as a prop (using the hexigon bridge)   DING DING DING!  When I removed the geometry of the eye patch from the bandana, there was no more ghosting eyepatch.

Unfortunately doing it this way, made the bandana so that I couldn't fit it to my figure anymore which I kind of need.  So I have two questions....

1)  What can i do to the original bandana so that I don't see the ghosting eyepatch in the final render.

of if that's not an option...

2) How can I keep the "fit to" ability of the edited geomerty of the "new" bandana?

This has been driving me crazy and I am at my wits end so any help would be awesome!

Can I do that?

(i.e. translation, scale and poses are currently modified...I want to leave it in place, and make that the Zero)

I am using Genesis 8, and when I tried some time ago, fitting an "old" item to the Genesis 8 figure would give you many different options (around what type of clothing item that is)... now, these options are all gone, and I have basically "hair" or "dress - knee length"... why is that now?

Thank you,

I assume this might have happened due to some product? Maybe? I just do not see anything at the moment to help me figure out what that might be so I can rip it out.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions welcome. Thanks!
