I did have tecnical problems earlier, and in a (failed) attempt to fix them, I did attempt to delete everything and then download the software from scratch, but it didn't work (I was able to fix the technical problems): I'm not sure what folders they're in because the download was pretty much automatic.

I was able to temporarily resolve it with a fresh install of Windows 10. I did that for unrelated reasons but it worked for a day or so after the install and then went back to hanging.

Here are some things I've tried that haven't worked:

• Wipe DAZ and all associated files off hard drive and reinstall (both manual and with DIM).
• Update and/or roll back NVidia drivers.
• Rename the plugin folder (kinda moot with the wipes).

My gut feeling says a Windows update is involved but I'd expect to see boat loads of other people having this same issue. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've attached my log.

Is there any way I can get a resolution with this?

I just get this messege: 'There is no matching figure available.' I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

I've begun an experiment with content location that is working well except for one small detail.

I've replicated my DAZ content dir on an NAS.  The goal is to have two different boxes access the exact same content.  That will allow me to use one box as a render box (Z drive), and another as the front end box (C drive).  So far so good. 

Then I began to use the category system to organize my files.  I added a base dir associated with (I thought) ONLY the files on Z drive.  Then I created a file using only content from Z drive.  This way, I thought, I would be able to shut down the C drive and leave only the render box running.  What I found was that, if a given file existed in BOTH content dirs, DAZ added BOTH files to the new category entry, even though I had explicitly told it to use the file on Z drive.  So far I haven't found any switch to disable this behavior, or any forum threads discussing it.  Removing the C drive reference removes both refrences.

I look forward to reading the comments on this.

what make I wrong with dforce?

I create a plane, move it in the height i need, add the dforce dynamic - and when I simulate the pane jumps to ground.

I got nuts with this. Anyone knows the reason?

Thanks and a happy New Year.

I have a question,

is it possible to set up a Genesis 3 and 8 female body and morphing it with the correct same measurements and height of a real human female?

In my case I want to create a Hollywood film actress from the film "Blader Runner" ( Rachel - the replicant).

On the internet it states some of her body measurements... https://www.celebritysizes.com/sean-young-bra-size-age-weight-height-measurements/

I have not found anything yet dealing with this question,

and I have not found any new DAZ model with this lovely "Rachel".

This is all I see...

see below for screen captures... there should be commands under LIGHT... but  I only have 2... Light color and Light Intensity...   I've used it before and there should be Light Radius... Light Falloff.. etc.. Now they are not there.  :( 

This product is totally useless without those commands.  (fyi.. I don't use Iray.. this is for 3Delight)

So because I need a lot of renders and I don't have enough time to stay and wait for them to finish then start another one, I am curious if there is by chance any way to prepare for example 10 scenes and let the render over night or something. One after another. 

I checked the  Parameters>>Actor>>Chest >>Real World tab but I can't find any morphs for this item.

Anyone know what I can do to fix it?

(I understand that it is likely that IBLMaster will give most impressive results when using 3Delight)

Anyway, I followed instructions, loaded IBLMaster, it seemed to load ok.  The HDRI does not appear to load into the IBLMaster - the mini world globe does not appear at 0.0 -  the HDRI appears otherwise as usual.

Loading the IBL lighting causes Iray to restart, as I would expect, but does not appear to affect the light levels in any way.

Are there more detailed instructions than the rather sketchy sheet to load/unload into the scene?

Seasonal good wishes to all.

1. Where is the bone editor. I don't see anything that looks like a bone.

2. Initially Gen 8 male is posed in t-pose because I'm instructed  to. Later in the tutorial we are told that the clothing needs to be posed to match the figure. So.... Is the Genesis 3 clothing to be in A pose or T-pose when I save it?

Thanks for answering my questions.

When i go on DAZ i can perfectly load the morphs but i can't find any textures, can somebody help me please?

I know this question has probably been asked before, but have just spent 4 hours repairing self inflicted damage.  : /

How do you move DS & runtime library from default drive “C:” to a larger HDD “E:”  (screenshot)

I went through the DIM and did *not* change any PostSQL CMS.

Result in DS was “error” message & no content except assets I had installed myself.

1.) If I paid for products, can I manually install them so I won’t lose access if error with PostSQL CMS?

a.) While I understand anti-piracy, may need to re-evaluate paying money for products I cannot use if error with DRM app.

2.) Safest, most *reliable* way to move content?  Time isn’t an issue if I need to uninstall/reinstall.

a.) the ini file in screenshot has a date of Sept 24th 2017 and not December 28th.  Artifact from install & delete it, or I need to manually specify a different path as seems to be the case with older versions & same question.

I appreciate members being patient with me.  PostSQL CMS error is not something I care to repeat.

info if helps:
DIM v.1.1.0.72
DS v.4.10.0.123

Open up Marvelous Designer, load up the T Pose and create my outfits on the pose. Switch to COLLADA file, animate the outfit and switch to Final Pose obj to make final adjustments. When I'm happy with the result, simply export the outfit as obj. 

There are no problems trough those steps. I can open up DAZ Studio and throw my outfit in and no problem there either. As I've designed it on the custom avatar and exported it after the last touches on Final Pose file, it fits perfectly.
So I decided to Step it up a 'lil bit and texture my outfits. For this purpose I open up my Substance Painter and throw my outfit obj in. No problem. Paint/texture as I desire. No problem either. I export my textures and mesh obj from SP and throw it back to DAZ, whole outfit is still grayed out. As I've searched the web I've discovered that we have to manually input those texture files to DAZ via surfaces tab.
Thats exactly where I struggle. I have no idea which maps I should've exported from SP and after that which map goes where.
When I try to dial them in manually, I always end up with bad results. It would be great if someone can point me to the right direction or better, quickly explain what exports to get from SP and where they go in DAZ. 

Thank you for reading people. Hope to find some answers here or else I will stop my journey here.

PS: Here are some examples

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Earlier in the year I created a full body morph for G3F in Zbrush and saved it into a new folder of my own naming. The morph was ERC Frozen after doing an Adjust Rigging to Shape... as the size and bones moved and it would warp horribly when applied if not for that (I'm not really sure what ERC Freeze does, but it worked to solve the problem). I then saved the morph as a Morph Asset. I can see my morph file under the ../Genesis 3/Female/Morphs/<my product>/<my morph>.dsf. 

The other day I went to modify this morph and so saved a copy of the .dsf file in the same directory (<my morph>-copy.dsf). I used GoZ to get the figure into Zbrush, made the updates, then on GoZ back I gave it the same morph name and location as the original, then saved it again as a Morph Asset. In the directory I can see the file has the updated timestamp. I saved a Scene Subset of my updated G3F figure in hopes of using this as a new 'base' for future figures.

Oddly, when I load the Scene Subset the figure still has the original morph and not my new change, even though the timestamp of the morph file shows that it was from my recent change. I had also saved the new morphed figure out as an OBJ, so out of curiousity I used Morph Loader Pro and apply it again and the figure changes with the new morph. But nothing I do seems to save the new morph so I don't have to re-load it again via the OBJ on subsequence Scene Subset loads (or merge for that matter).

In trying to understand what's happening behind the scenes, I removed both the new .dsf and the original (<my morph>-copy.dsf) file completely from the directory to a directory outside my DAZ library. Now when I load the Scene Subset the figure loads and gives a message that my morph file is missing (expected). However, my custom folder on the figure is there, and the morph still shows. I can move the slider and the original morph applies! I would think without the .dsf file my figure would not load it at all and I wouldn't even see my custom folder or the morph in it. I've searched the whole DAZ library directory and there is no additional copy of my morph file anywhere. On a side note, if I load a scene subset with two of the figures, the first one has the original morph applied automatically but the 2nd figure is the base G3F. I'm not sure why one would be morphed and the 2nd not.

TLDR:

1) If I save a morph from Zbrush on top of the same named morph, how do I save the new morph so that I don't have to re-load it via Morph Loader Pro by its OBJ every time?

2) After removing all the morph files from the DAZ Library folders, my figures saved as Scene Subsets still show the morph even though Daz says the file is missing. Where's the morph?

If anyone understands what is going on for my two questions I would greatly appreciate the help.

thanks in advance
