I dont have any space in my computer drive, is there any way to store my library content online and access it from DAZ?

If I now uncheck Optix Acceleration, I get my 1070 back, but the 980 is returning an error saying ‘device cannot be used as it does not support mapped memory (canMapHostMemory)’. I didn’t have a problem with it yesterday. Feeling frustrated. 

Hi all,

Yesterday, I had a Genesis 2 basic female figure, it was in smart content, I know, I loaded it and used it. Today, no G2 basic female. Eh?

Can't explain what happened but I do know that I need to download and install a replacement. So the big question is; where do I go, who do I see, how can I do this?

Okay, that's three questions but you know what I mean.

Thanks in advance,

G

Based on reading the forums and playing around in DS, I began creating my own Categories and sorting my products.  (What a tedious "adventure.")  Yes, my file installation folders match between DIM and DS.  Yes,  I know how to find the installed files location and view them in explorer.  I believe I have looked through every folder in Daz Studio Format, Poser Format, Products, and Lost & Found, but the only files I can find are those pictured below.  Those are found in Daz Content -> Props -> PoisenedGreen Props.  The morphs and textures are also installed - but for the life of me, I cannot find them in DS.  I would appreciate it, if someone could please tell me where to find them.

Thank you!

I have attached a part of a larger image and as you can see very grainy. I have extra lighting setup in the Club scene and most of my renders in different camera angles work and looks good. However this scene with them sitting it just does not want to render fine. The settings i have are the same for all my other renders in teh club so i know it works. IF i apply too much lighting the white couches becomes very washed out.

I have 4 models in the image and then the Club seats, glasses, table etc... I seem to have difficulty with certain props i use and others are fine. I am using ILPK lighting which i know works and Dome and Scene selected. I am trying to get a slightly dark feel (as its in a club) but without the graininess...

I find myself needing to use the MRL Amara Braids for Genesis 3 and 8 Female(s) on a G8M. It comes in okay and fits great but once there, all the morphs that are associated with the hair are gone. Is there something I'm doing wrong? 

No other hair really looks right on this character but I do need to be able to utilize the movement morphs. 

Any thoughts?

There is a subheading under Daz Connect that is: Shader Presets>Iray>NVIDIA MDL Examples.  (This in no way implys I understand anything else about these.)

Anyway: There's little spheres on bases that are marked Shader above and various items like Architectural and Asphalt below.

What am I supposed to do with these. (Now I will try to figure this out in-between customers coming in, etc.) Thanks.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

So far I've tried importing it then saving it as things like support asset (figure/prop asset) and even a scene, both give me a .duf file that doesn't show up in Daz Studio. I've also tried exporting it as a .cr2 file but that asks to select a skeleton from a blank list.

I don't think I'm trying to do anything too fancy here, I just want to save it in a format that shows up in Daz Studio so I can add it to the props folder in my categories for easy access.

Any help/advice appreciated

Wait, why want it installing?

Huh, it was installed...  oh, I see, it’s only a BRYCE product, and I can’t really complain because it’s clearly listed as such.  Huh...

So, is there any NICE and EASY WAY to convert a OBP file with the MTL to Daz, or dae format where I wouldn’t need to manually set the materials to their proper placements?

it was this one...

thanks in advance.

I'm getting this hilarious but frustrating problem when I import a uniform from both Cinema 4d and Zbrush.  And the weird thing is it doesn't always happen.  I'm using the g2m bodysuit (which I love).  I'm painting it myself so I need to apply a UV in zbrush and also stitch the magus collar onto it in Cinema so its one uniform.  When I reimport the new bodysuit my muscle dude turns into steriods gone wrong dude.  It looks like its reapplying the deformers and effectively doubling them.  In my female superhero by the way, her chest gets bigger though that's kind of weird because I didn't deform the g2f's chest in any way.  If I had to guess, that's a clue.

If I export a g2m bodysuit either alone in the scene or in an undeformed default g2male, everything's fine.  But my muscle guy's UVs get messed up around the seams because of the deformation that occurs when I fit it to the model that zbrush's UV master can't  take into account.   And since I have this hex pattern on the bodysuit it really shows.

I've exported to zbrush with deformers on and off.  I've tried exporting in an FBX with the deformers turned off.  I've had some success lowering the deformers but it doesn't look like it should. 

This is happening when I use the Daz internal bridge to zbrush.  And I won't touch the model in zbrush except to apply the new uv map which I make on a clone.  And since its also happening importing an OBJ from Cinema 4d (as well as fbx), my focus for the problem is Daz. 

Daz had to have taken current deformation into account when creating the bridge.  Its got to be something I'm missing.  Plus it doesn't always happen.  Though I haven't been able to recreate a success in a while.  So I don't know.

Help please.

Thanks for any help!

I've tried shrinking the z-scale but that makes them an angular when bent.

I've also tried joint editor but that only makes other bones too long.

Any help?

When I put on the Iconic MFD Bundle 1 for Genesis 8 Female(s) it looks like pic 1.  No problem, so far... but when I 'select' it to choose a color or style, I get the menu in the second pic.  Normally you get the Default / Materials and select from there what you want, but I cannot change the dress to any of the morfs because they are not there.  Pic 3 shows it is installed and no updates needed, etc.  I deleted the product and re-downloaded it.  I have tried the dress on just the base G8 as well as several G8 characters.  Always the same.  What's up with this dress?

Today I succeeded in converting g3 to g8.

But there was one problem.

Movement of the eyelids reversely.

When the pupil goes down, the eyelids rise.

When the pupil goes up, the eyelids go down.

Is there a way to solve this?

I need help.

Thx in advance.

Thanks,

Here it is before rendering, where the lighting is the colour I want:

Here it is after rendering, where the lighting colour has reverted to white:

Any ideas?

I manually downloaded and the character morphs are in the character folder but I don't know what folder to extract them into.

Aven.zip\Content\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis\Base\Morphs\3D Universe\Aven

And that's where the character morphs are, any ideas?

It does say on the product page:

Notes

• This product must be installed to the same location as Genesis.

I've tried moving the file from the data folder to different spots, but no luck
