Also I tried to update the plugins...as in went to add my serials and couldn't find out how to do that.  Only thing I can find is through Help to about Plugins and it lists them all but the only serial options to input was for animate2 and no way to add for the others.

Any help appreciated

EDIT: Guess I should download the plugins...lol  Now I need to know what I need to download as I have only downloaded the program and the four parts listed with it.  Do I still need all those other items I have serials for like the CCT, Multi Layer Image Editor and Texture Atlas or are this now included with the program?

How does one remove areas of the character from the projection map?

Thanks

How can I eliminate noise from a low light scene. My renders seem to get noise if my scene is dimly lit. Or if this has been discussed, please give me the link.

Thanks.

Can someone help me with this? 

Thank You

I'm having a difficulty restoring closed tabs on the right side - like Parameters, Shaping, etc. How can I get those back?

Thanks!

Also I tried exporting the character as a single ERC frozen morph and that works for the heair - but the mouth is slightly open on the new morph, even though the pose was zero'ed when I exported.

Any suggestions? thanks.

Any ideas what's up?  Oo

The problem NOW is that I can't add the MAT. The GF3 gets a slightly deformed head and puffed up shoulders whenever I try to use Legacy UV's to make the MAT fit.

1. Export FBX from Daz3D with animations selected (I have the full AniMate2 plugin after having upgraded from AniMate2 Lite that comes with it)

2. Import into Unity.

3. Set Rig to Humanoid. Apply.

4. Go into Animation rename it (enter new name in box and then click on animation to apply (in this example "test11"). Set animation to loop and hit apply.

5. Search for new animation in unity (e.g. "test11"). CLick it and then hit "Microsoft key" + D to duplicate the animation outside of the figure (so that if I remove figure I won't lose animation).

6. change the character control to use the new animation. 

7. Press Play in Unity.  (Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't).

FIgure I must be missing some step there but at a lose.

They download without some of their content (accessories,cloths, hair)  working.

I noticed that if I used Content Manager to individually place the item (accessories, cloths or hair)  in the DAZ Studio Fotmats directory, that the characters' wardrobe would fully appear..

So my question is: (Untiil I can fix the overall problem)   Do I need to add each Item individually to the Daz Studio Format directory?   Or is there a better way to get the downloading file to read all the assets, and work as it used to? 

(My understanding is that I should be able to place the files in the My DAZ 3D Library folder- Which I have done, but in seperate folders.   Perhaps I need to place the  Data, Documentation, People, Runtime folders, themselves, separately, into the DAZ 3D Library folder?   If so, to where, within the folder?  Would they get lost or jumbled up that way ?)

It looks good if I load it into my Windows picture viewer so it looks like it saved out fine. But when I use it in my render, the image is better but still has some Jagged Edges that I would like to remove. I don't know what to do. I though maybe it was a resolution somewhere in DAZ for the object but I am not finding.

Can anyone help fix this please?

The pic on the left shows the problem. The one on the right is how it appears in paint.net.

I started a thread about this a while ago, but I can't find it now. Apologies for posting again.

I'm still having the same trouble as I was before. Daz3D 4.10 will not start on my computer. Daz3D 4.9 worked just fine.

I've researched this and have tried everything I can find, and can think of. I even went ahead and deleted Daz3D and all my Daz3D content tonight to do a clean install, and used CCleaner to remove any registry entries leftover. Even after this clean install (and after restarting my machine), Daz3D shows its initial startup routine, seems to complete it, and then nothing happens after the startup pop-up disappears, right after "Building Interface."

I am on Windows 7 using a Nvidia GTX 1070 with the latest drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if I can provide any further info. Thanks!

But, yes, it's finally over.

In case someone else encounters this issue, here is what happened:

When most of one's Product disappears from their Content Library, they can feel like they are 'up the proverbial creek' wiithout a paddle- or remote access by someone who really knows what they're doing.

Problem:

The issue was simple, of course.   Finding out what was causing it, was not.

In this case, most of my content had been inadvertently (I don't know precisely how) moved from the 'My DAZ 3D Library' folder to another folder. 

But going into that folder, did not reveal the content's location, since it was now resting in a data sub-folder. (and its own sub-folders, as well.)  So I could go in and out of it, multiple times- which I did- and never suspect that this was the...'problem file', so-to-speak. 

Solution: 

Discovering the problem: After many weeks of emails, posts and attachments, Richard Haseltine noticed a file that did not belong in that folder (the folder that now contained the content).  And after searcing the data sub-folder within that folder, sure enough, there was the content!

So I went to Content Manager and set up a path to that file, under Daz Studio Formats.  And almost immediately, most of my Content reappeared in Content Library.  And that confirmed what the problem was.

All that needed to be done, after that, was (carefully) move the files back to My DAZ 3D Library, where they were supposed to be. 

A few months back, a similar content issue occurred, but not for the same reason.  So Content Manager issues can happen, but this is one issue that was an easy fix; just a very difficult matter to interpret (discover the cause).  

Sincere thanks to Richard and everyone else who responded to my posts, until the source of the problem could be stumbled upon, and resolved!        

How can I proceed?

Cheers :)

This has probably be asked before but no luck in searching through the forum (dont hesitate to point me to the right thread if this has already been discussed).

Is there a way to transfert the current shape of a Genesis figure to another generaion of Genesis ?

For instance, I have a Genesis 3 figure, I've played a lot with all the morphs available and now I would like to transfert this current shape of this Genesis 3 figure to a Genesis 8 figure (not necessarily as a morph, as a baked base shape would be ok).

Is this possible ?

Thanks,
Guy.

​Now I have created a symlink to "R:\3rd Party Library" as "D:\DazContent\3rd Party Library"

​Everything looks good and the link works as expected.

​But when I go to configure "D:\DazContent\3rd Party Library" as an additional library, DAZ Studio keeps changing it to "R:\3rd Party Library" which will not work properly. I can't figure out how to force DAZ Studio to respect the location that I am selecting in their Dialog Box.

​Does anyone know how to do this? Will I have to find it in the Database and change it their or something?

I have GenX 2 with Genesis 1- 2 and 3 plugins. Is there something else I need ?

So my question is how do I move custom face morphs created with HeadShop 10.2 to other versions of Genesis ?  

I have a bunch of these scripts saved for 3Delight in my script menu when I use IRAY only characters and am rendering in 3Delight.  In fact, that is how I was able to buy IRAY only material characters and still use them up until I started with IRAY.   

Now, I guess I want to go in the other direction for some.  Basically, I have some V4 skins I used Texture Transformer to get onto G3.  So, they have no IRAY shaders or anything fancy.  They were quality V4 skins, but I don't know how well those translate onces you have transformed them.  I generally apply the 3Delight shader to my character after set up.  I'd like something like that for IRAY that gives decent results for us novice folks.  I have one or two quick IRAY ones that came with characters, but I want something made for not just a certain character.  Something hopefully made for somebody like me LOL.  

I've looked at a lot of products and am so confused.  Suggestions of things to get would be appreciated.  I mostly use HDRI skies and G3 characters.  I'm not terribly savvy at all these settings/conversions so something easy to use with OK results is good.  

Thanks!   

I have not used Daz in awhile and today i used DIM to update and check some content which it downloaded.
But now i keep getting the error window A valid PostgreSQL CMS connection could not be established.
I closed DAZ and then opened DIM and tried to uninstall PostgreSQL CMS but it wont uninstall and the directory does not even show up.
I have attached a screenshot so You can see.

I tried restarting system but it did not help.

It was working fine before I used DIM today and added so free content and udated DAZ thru DIM.

Anyone have a clue how to fix this issue? Please.

Thanks in advance
Fred

So I unisntalled and tried to reinstall from scratch but I get the same results
