 and then I chopped up my bodysiut and named each part according to the parts of Genesis 3 female base that I was using to model my body suit on.

Then I imported the body suit into Daz3d I am following a tutorial on how to do all of this on youtube.

And when I finely get it all in to Daz3d I get pokethrough. See image here.

https://ibb.co/daZ3gS

So I go ahead and apply the smoothing modifier but I get even more pokethroughs so I dont know if I am doing this correctly.

I then cranked up the modifier to see if it would help and got this.

Any help would be very greatly appreciated. and I do apologies if this topic has already been answered on the forum, I couldn't find it though.

Thank you so much,

My system is old, but not ancient.  I've got a Windows7 x64 machine with an i7 3770-K CPU (16GB RAM) and a GeForce GTX970 designated only for rendering (my old GTX660 is running the monitors.)  I've got the most recent drivers for my GPU and nothing else has changed in my system (because I've barely turned it on since September.)  I've been watching the memory and temperature of GPU and all CPU cores with HWiNFO64. My CPU is pegging at 100% when switching to the Iray preview, but it's always done that.  My GPU memory has not been more full than 86%, according to the sensor log. 

The plan is to build a new PC in the next few months, but until then, it would be nice for DS to not crash every 45 minutes.  Is this just a matter of "I'm doing more than my PC is capable of"? 

The attached mini-renders illustrate what's wrong. In 'Heels wonky' the character is wearing the shoes included in the Angels Secret set, in 'Heels on straight' she's wearing shoes from another set. The fore-and-aft (to use a sailing term) joint seems solid enough, it's the side-to-side joint that's rubbery.

[ edit/afterthought: in 'wonky' you'll notice that the heels bend in different directions, as if they're magnetized. Removing limits, which I haven't done here, makes it even more apparent. ]

Thanks for any suggestions!

PS I think Install Manager is super cool for the most part.

I tried bringing in a plane and removing the floor and that works fine. The plane gets lit by the spotlight as I would expect the floor to be.

So for some reason the floor is invisible to my spotlight.

Can anyone help?

I'm making some free clothes (link to request post) but having problems importing JCM; 

As I said in the mentioned post, "For example, I can get one arm to fold perfect, and when I put the morph for the other arm, the previous arm is a mess. "

I tried varied workflows:

Using morph loader pro, Control property Yes (Selecting the bone node in the cloth or leaving it blank using the hiearchy propierties panel to put it manually), Reveres deformations yes/no, make unique/deltas only etcm I tried lot of things.

But like I Said, I must been not grasping some key concept cause I having lot of issues to correctly implement the morphs.

PS: I import FBM and fixing morphs with no problem and they work well.

As I was going throught them I immediately found one that had created the Product but did not include any content in it. I walked checked all of the newly created Products and there were quite a few that had failed to include the Content in the Product.

I tried redoing some of them but none of them worked. It also seemed to be the ones that I had done in the last couple of hours of my work.

So, I decided that the database was probably corrupted. I did an export of the userdata, reset the database and then did an import. None of the 3rd party changes remained, even the ones that were correct prior to the database reset are missing now. It looks like the ones that were working properly were actually ones that I had created in the past and had just renamed in yesterdays session. Now they have all reverted back to the old names.

... and even after the database reset, I still can't create any new products. They are always empty.

Can I Use Iray?

Please Advice, I never did any Renders in Iray!

Do the following steps: Load a new figure, apply a skin, open it's mouth, change to the geometry editor, select a part of one tooth, select then all connected (one tooth is selected), hide the selected polygons and delete then the hidden ones. Then you have finally a figure with a tooth gap.

But: If you do the same steps with a figure which has already loaded a genitalia, all looks fine as long as the Geometry Editor is the selected tool. If you change back to the universal tool, the figure has holes.

An even harder example I found, as I equipped Girl 6 with the 'New Genitalia for V6'. What came out you see in picture 6, 6a had been rendered after I activated the 'Geometry Editor' again.

Can someone please tell me how to get DAZ to STOP using this feature?

WARNING: dzneuraymgr.cpp(307): Iray ERROR - module:category(IRAY:RENDER):   1.2   IRAY   rend error: CUDA device 0 (GeForce GTX 1060 3GB): May not have enough memory available to execute CUDA kernel (estimated 89.332 MiB)

I know it's not a high end card, but been happening randomly either on render ( in this case ) or on loading of a scene my DAZ would just stop and give me an error. I cannot submit the error as it does not allow me. I do have it saved to a zip file. 

Should i submit a ticket?

thx

<edit>

Ok, igonre that - just noticed it was a PC+ item ...

</edit>

Example: I have a set of butterfly wings and I want to create a bunch of surfaces on them so I can apply different material presets to the butterfly wings. Sure one set of surfaces I can use many multiples of materials presets on such a set of surfaces but I want to change the layout of the surfaces themselves so the pattern on the butterfly wings can be changed as well but just the materials. 

so the problems I'm having first off despite trying evey fix I have found I can not select differnt parts of a figure. I can use bone select tool/right click and drop down sure. but normally just clicking I can not select body parts. I tried loading an unmodified figure but no luck. uninstalling and reinstalling daz really isnt an option because some of the things I have recivied from friends/family were just files I could drag and dropand after a computer clean up most of the oringal files are gone, all thats left of the files I was given is what is in my daz folder( there are so many things backing up everything would take months) 

second problem I use v4/m4 for most things but clothing is not conforming to the body( and with how much skin some of the clothing shows using hid body parts wont look right) I have boobs/hips all kind of things sticking out. I thought it was just because most of the clothing I have was files given to me so I just today purchased the "candie for V4" top and despite the few adjustments that came with it doesnt fit the shape of the boobs and they fully show through

I have tried everything and am at a loss

I am picking up the pieces after a crash. I used to be able to select an uber environment and choose emissive. Unfortunately, I can't recall the starting steps of this other than going through the content library panel. When I try to find these options, I come up empty.

Does this sound familiar to anyone else out there? Apparently I had the product, I may not have reinstalled it yet and would like to do so. 

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

When working with a Scene Subset, is there a way to have DAZ display the name of the Scene Subset file that you're working on **in the main window**? I'm Using 4.10 and I don't see the file name displayed anywhere. Thanks.

I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere. A point in the right direction would be awesome. Thank you.

Edit: Just starting daz3d seems to lock the memory at a lower speed. Tried with a game running with memory working at full speed and when opening daz3d in the backround the memory clocked down right away, When closing daz3d and the game still running the memory started to work at full speed again.

If I wanted to export a new character I've created with various morphs in Daz and then package it for sale to Daz users, how would I do that?

Thanks for any advice.

For example. In the eyes tab the first model has the first option as Eyelids Bottom Down

But with the second one the first option in the eyes tab is Eyes Up-Down

Is there any way to make it so both models use the same options layout with posing and shaping or is it cause both models share the same name. (I'm using Catherine as the name for both models)

Any help on any one of these or hopefully all 3 will be deeply appreciated. In closing, I wish you all a Happy New Years! 

I'm using animate2
I correctly modeled the character to the first position in keyframe 1, second 0 - Pose-1@sec-0
Forwarded to Second 1, applied a Keyframe, modeled a 2nd Pose -> Pose-2@sec-1
---- ( So far the animation from Pose-1@sec-0 to Pose-2@sec-1 goes flawless) ----

[THE PROBLEM! ]

I then move to Second 2 and apply another keyframe there.
Create a 3rd Pose Pose-3@sec2 (willing pose-2@sec-1 goes to pose-3@sec-2)

The Result: Pose-1/sec-0 start animation and gets affected by pose-3@sec2

as a result the first animation I created going from second 0 to second 1 gets all screwed, can't lock and achieve
to animate separately from Pose-2@sec-1 to Poser-3@sec2

HELP!!! :(
