The HDRI do not load.

Sometimes the 1st one loads but not the others.

When i click on the defaults in the render-settings the screen gets white and stays white :-(

What can i do? Thanks for help

When I last exported an FBX with animation from DAZ to 3ds Max, it worked perfectly. That was more than a year ago using 4.8. Yesterday I tried to export an FBX with animation again, using 4.10, and it comes out weird in 3ds Max. The bones doesn't work properly anymore and after a good while of struggling, only some of the parts seem to animate. A walk animation looks like a person in a T-pose trying to roller-blade.

I'm going re-install 4.8 this evening and try again to determine whether it's potentially an issue with DAZ. I imported the old, previous FBX with which I tried it the first time, and that one imports and works perfectly. Just when I try now, using all kinds of different settings, methods and FBX versions, they all either come out with the T-pose rollor-blader or no animation at all. I even scoured the internet for different ways to go about it and I do everything exactly like everyone else is. By all counts, it should work, except that it doesn't.

Anyone perhaps have idea or advice on this? If I'm still struggling tonight with the 4.8 version, then I'll record a video to illustrate my issue.

Thanks

I'm sorry of this is long, but Windows fatal error during a render scared the p*ss out of me.  Don't know if DS issue with SubD settings too high or my card might be going out. : (

Strix ROG 1070 (8GB with probably 7.5 available)

Started a render with SubD at 2 on three different actors.

Screen went black for 1 second.  Came back on @ 1080 rather than 4k

MsgBox: "Windows has encountered fatal error at (something)"  Windows rebooted before I could get a SS.  Reboot still at 1080.

Let machine cool down & booted up.  Still at 1080.  NvCPL.exe "No NVidia device installed."  GPU-Z: "NVidia 1070 at 0 Mhz" 

Device Manager: "Error: Windows has disabled this device.  Further installation needed.  Search Web or browse to install."

Search web & it installed same driver I'd been using.  Huh?

Long & short, searched web for card diagnostics, but not much out there.  "6 signs your card is dying" don't seem to apply.  (not getting any lag or weird display errors, no dust bunnies inside case, games & streaming work OK, etc.)

Does this happen often?  Geometry or something just too much for it? 

Leery about doing any more renders until I find out cause.

Render size 2922 x 2191 ; approx file size 6981 MB

sys info if helps

Key advancements with the Genesis 8-based Charlotte 8 include:

Backward Compatibility (Read More)

The most backward compatibility ever, through included clones for Genesis, Genesis 2, & Genesis 3.

Includes clones for Genesis, Genesis 2, and Genesis 3 content even between male and female figures.

This sounds super exciting! But, kind of a silly question... are the clones in question for auto-fitting clothing, or morphs, something else? If it is clothing, does that mean I can finally fit (for example) Genesis 3 outfits to my fav Genesis 1 figures? Or only Charlotte 8 stuff is backwards compatible?

I can't think of what ELSE the description could be referring to, but I have a learning disability, so... yeah, double-checking stuff is good. Thanks in advance!

A couple of days before I update to 4.10, I'm playing around with "Wear Them All for Genesis 3 Female" and I loved it for how many of V4 clothing can be perfectly fitted onto Genesis 3 Female and followed the G3F body when I morphed it. I even save it with subscene set after I fitted a V4 clothes (and morph the G3f body) and load it after that with no problem at all, I upload the same result when I saved it. The problem is shown after I update my DS to 4.10. After I load my saved model, the cloth that perfectly fit before is now shown like it's not fitted properly. Some part of the body is overlapping or clipping out of her clothes. Finally after I tweak here and there I found that some body morph is not affecting the clothes like before. These body morph in the right bottom panel with a red layered color with words it is "breast size", "voluptuous", "Pear", and "Heavy" (perhaps there are others but that is for the mean time). I'm sorry if I didn't explain it so well, I'm really a beginner here.

At first I thought there might be an issue caused by other product like "Mr. Hyde" for Genesis that make all of Genesis figure that load up automatically appear in Hyde body morph. So I try to uninstall all product that I installed recently right after Wear Them All for G3F (like Undead Creature and Fantasy Creature, even Wear Them All for G3M and the expansion just to make sure that the problem is the installation after Wear tHem All G3F). But the problem is still there. The cloth still clipping, and bodysuit for V4 that perefectly fitted before is still overlap too.

I guess some morph content from "Genesis 3 Female Body Morphs" is not working after updating. Or maybe there's other explanation for why after DS update, some cloth didn't follow body morph just like befire update to 4.10. Or should I try to reinstall Genesis 3 Female Body Morphs?

I'm sorry for the long question. I hope you guys can help me...

thank you.

PS: I attach the picture, before update, and after update.

I had a working set up of DAZ 9.4 with an older 770GTX in an ASUS X99 Pro. 5820k with 28 PCI lanes and an 850 evo SSD.  I recently did some upgrades, going to an 960 Evom.2 on the board's slot and installed a 1080ti and went to daz 10. 

Before the upgrade, I could render with both GPU and CPU no problem. Now, daz recognizes the 1080ti but wont render with the 1080ti, even if I uncheck CPU. It's not a memory issue as I loaded a base naked model and still, it only renders on CPU.

Its an ASUS Strix and installed the drivers that came with the bundle which were reelased in May 2017.

I also get an Illegal_Instruction in module C:/windows/system32\nvptxjitcompiler.dll. after a fresh install of  DAZ 10 and can't open the program. being adventerous, I go and delete that file, fire up DAZ 10 and try and render and same thing CPU only. 

I've gone through 4 times into the registry and manually taken out all associated DAZ files exluding my libraries.

The manual says slots 1 and 4 are X16 and I tried both of them - no go. I even tried the other 2  "8x slots" - still, the same thing. Daz see it but doesnt render. I cant figure out if it some conflict with lanes or maybe how the BIOS is configured or if daz 10 is too new or if 1080ti is too new...gah!

Next thing is to try old drivers but nonetheless this has been aggravating. Has anyone else had any experience with a similar situation and can provide technical guidance? I am at my wirts end, having a nice system for rendering that doesn't work - and I know it should because others on this forum run 1080ti's..

Thanks!

I attached a picture reference.

Thanks!

1. One of the annoying things I've noticed is that clothing that follows the figure underneath seems to have no 'zoning' - cloth on a pants leg, for instance, will try to blob out and cover the character's hand if it is resting on the thigh, because it's being told to follow the whole figure, not its body parts. Is there a way to stop this, other than moving the hand so it's not quite in the 'influence zone?'

2. Grafted anatomy or conformed inner layers of clothing don't appear to be included, nor do I see where they can be included, when defining the figure that the outer clothing should follow. So intimate bits poke through, underwear pokes through, a tee-shirt under a dress shirt ... pokes through. Is there a way to select multiple items for an article to follow? Can I select a pair of pants and tell them to follow G3M+Li'lG3M+socks ?

3. Is it possible to build a figure with its 'inner articles' - body, gens, underwear, etc. - and create a shell that outer clothing can follow? Conform a dress to the shell, and the shell mimics the outer surface of G3F, her gens and her underwear?

It's a big-city scene meant to load in sections: Ground Plane, Center Zone, East Zone, etc., but when I add a zone to the ground plane it comes out horribly jumbled. None of the zones land where they should, or in the proper orientation, and some have buildings superimposed on each other. The set is so huge and complex it's hard to figure out where even one zone belongs, or how to sort out the jumble,. Beyond my jigsaw skills and/or patience, anyway.

A couple of months ago I asked this same question on Rendo's DAZ Users forum, but no one has replied and it doesn't seem anyone will. I'm guessing I'm not the only DAZ user who's bought this set, and hoping that somebody, somewhere, has figured out how to make it work in DS. If so, I would like to know what the trick is.

I am experiencing problems with the Geometry Shell Wound Makeup Artist for the Genesis 2 People.

Is there any staff available to assist me to fix the problem, please?

But I have rotated it already ,and its transfer coordinate's directions changed ,

How can I transfer it as the simple,standard coordinate as I just open the DAZ studio after it is rotated ?

I also have an occasional hiccup that happens where the Figures arms will jump out of position and end up through their body. This is without doing anything. I'll just be looking at the screen and poof, there the arms go. I can't Undo this. I have to reload the Scene (or re-position):

Can somebody advise me on this please?

I'm not finding them. Can someone please tell me where to look?

Thank you very much for the help! :)

Is this the intended behavior of the Update Base Geometry function? That it updates for the all present and future loads of that figure?

To reproduce:

- Load G3F or equivalent figure, set base resolution

- Dial a morph in, export as OBJ

- Update the base geometry with the OBJ

- Delete the figure, and load G3F again -- the new one will still have the updated base geometry instead of being a fresh copy.

How do I create the hole in the object?

(Or is there another way to achieve this, apart from purchasing something ready-made?- I'd like to create my own.) 

I placed a some hair on his head, but cannot get rid of that pesky scalp hair.

(I tried saving a g2 face under 'Shaping Preset' and merging it with a g3, but nothing happened. Is it possible?)

As I mentioned, it only happens for some of the G8 chars, which makes it even weirder. From my collection so far:

Jumps:
Elizabeth
Rebekah
Victoria8
 

Work fine:
Daphne
Genesis 8F
Phoebe
Olympia
Sarah

I have been using DAZ with Vx for years, without this issue. I went back and checked some V7 characters, and could find none that had this behaviour, so it doesn't seem to be a general error introduced when I upgraded to DAZ 4.10.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Moving to "bug reports" with more info.
