I bought DAZ TO MAYA on DAZ site at the moment, the script appears in DAZ Studio, for cons I do not know how to access the plugin on MAYA, can you help me to know how to install it under MAYA? Thank you.

Does anyone have an idea where I find the plug in?

I've filed a ticket. But ask here as well.

Is it possible for me to somehow import a version of this character that I've been able to very selectively smooth in a different program, and have that show up in Daz as one of my resolution levels?

I have G3F with a custom body morph that I made in ZBrush. I recently bought a G2F clothing item and want to morph the clothes so that they fit my custom body morph. I've done this process for other items and never encountered this issue until today. I've redone all my work for a second time and don't want to do it a third if possible, so i'm hoping someone can spot what I may be missing or what's going wrong. These are the steps I followed:

1) load my figure (saved as a scene subset).

2) load the clothing item from the vendor's folder like normal. Since it's a G2F item I get the auto-fit popup. I select Genesis 2 Female/None and the clothing autofits. My custom figure's morph shows in the clothing parameters as expected.

3) From Scene tab I Fit the clothing to None so that it is no longer a child of the figure, but my custom figure's morph still shows in the parameters (at zero percent).

4) Drag the clothing to the figure so it is a child, but not autofit. This is so I can export the figure and clothing together into ZBrush with GoZ

5) Select the figure and hit GoZ. In ZBrush do the altering to the clothing.

6) Go back to Daz and re-autofit the clothing

7) Got back to ZBrush and hit GoZ, making sure to rename the morph as the same name as my custom figure morph, pick my custom folder it is in, and set as Delta with ERC

8) Back in Daz the clothing changes as expected to my new morph from ZBrush - all is good so far.

9) File > Save As > Support Asset > Morph Asset(s). Fill in Vendor and Product and check the box for my morph

10) Save the scene

At this point I closed Daz and ZBrush, did other stuff, etc. When I came back a few hours later I opened the scene but the clothing looks like the autofit did before I saved my ZBrush morph. Thinking I messed something up and didn't save the morph asset correctly I checked the directory in my library but it was there under the Vendor/Product info I had used.

Not knowing what to do I deleted the directory where my morph was stored (my vendor folder, product folder, and the .dsf morph) and started completely from scratch.

At this moment I've repeated all my steps, my custom morph for the clothing looks exactly like I intend (did a better job the 2nd time lol), but i'm paranoid so I want to test stuff.

I have verified my morph asset is in the vendor/product folder under the data directory of the clothing item. I saved the clothing as both as a Wearable(s) Preset and as a Character Preset. I also exported the clothing as an OBJ (base resolution) using default settings and saved my ZBrush Document.

I then loaded another copy of the figure and applied the Wearable item, but it loads as if my morph isn't there and looks like the autofit again. I delete it and try the Character preset and it loads but pops up the autofit dialog. If I accept the autofit (G2 Female/None) it also looks like the autofit without my morph applied.

Now the kicker... this clothing item I bought has a top and bottom. The failing part is the top. I did all the same steps for the bottom - exactly the same - and the bottoms load just fine with my morph as a Wearable and look totally fine.

Any help anyone has would be appreciated!

What are the steps to rendering a Daz scene in a mirror?  (So I can use the 360 degree camera?)

I actually tried to do this without the Small World Camera, but my own camera did not alter the picture as it did in the tutorial video.  Nothing happened, as my last attachment shows.

edited to add: I gave up on the item and swapped it out for another item from the offer, figuring I'd come back to it later.  Came back to try it again with another i13 item from the "Chose 3 Daz Original Props" list.... and that one isn't getting set to free, either.  Specifically, "i13 Confessional" is not getting processed to free, while one of the other items is.

 Is something borked about i13 items?

I have an old runtime and I can't get it to install no matter what I do. I go to the "Poser Formats" and click "Add Runtime Directory" and navigate to my old Runtime and what I get is a "MY RUNTIME" folder with nothing in it.  looking on the physical drive there are subfolders, directories, etc... all kinds of stuff... but in Daz, nada, it's as if Daz simply cannot SEE the files in the Runtime. There is a second runtime inside the runtime (It's been my runtime since my Poser4 in 1999... so over the last 18 years it's a little jumbled), so I try to link to THAT Runtime and I get the same thing: I get a folder with "RUNTIME" but nothing underneath... or rather, I get all of the subfolders, but nothing in them, like the folders are empty.  When looking in Windows, there are clearly .pp2s

I've tried doing this with "Other Import Formats" as well with the same results... I get empty folders...

If I load it into the "DAZ Studio Formats" folder I get anything DAZ, but nothing Poser, so I can at least load all of my DAZ stuff (But of course I can also get a clean reinstall from the Smart Content library as well, so that's actually not an issue).

Okay, so I get that perhaps Daz has a discrete setup and you have to have Daz materials in the Daz folder and the Poser materials in the Poser directories and maybe after 18 years it's a good time for me to just do some house cleaning and get all of my models cleaned up (I mean, really... am I ever going to use Posette or the Dork again?!?!? But I DO want to use that cool Star Trek Phaser prop I downloaded in 2002 or the bridge model I made in 2005...)

So, presuming I have a bunch of just random .pp2s and .objs and stuff... and knowing that I'm going to (in Windows) straighten this out and organize them into a Props directory, a Characters directory, a Textures, Objects, etc...  how would I structure it so I could make a "clean" Runtime that Daz could read... and then which Import method should I use that will "read" it into Daz Studio so that I don't get the "empty folder" syndrome I've been getting recently?

Thanks guys!

Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

I figured it out...When saving as a Morph Asset, my save directory was defaulting to Connect.  But, I use my G3F out of my DIM install.  I can't seem to figure out how to remove the Connect installed G3F.  Anyway, after I changed the directory to MyDaz3D Library, the morphs showed up.

DOH!  Hope this keeps someone else from pulling all their hair out. :)

Has it not been update for G8M yet???

Thanks.

5830_SensibilityV4_v1.1_dpc.exe
5830_SensibilityV4DS_v1.1_ds.exe

What are these files and what do they do? I can't find them listed in the product readme.
Don't recall ever seeing .exe files in a product before.

How do i use the Useful mirror shader to apply to Genesis 3 or even the basic female, could i use it on any leter genesis figures, beleive me i have tried and just getting nowhere

thanks

I tried 32-bit and 64-bit 4.9, and also 4.10 Public versions, and still got the same results.  

As you can see (attachment 4), the most that was accomplished, was additional texture and color to eye and lower face.  Other selections produced a blank head and face.(I never could get the rust texture to apply).

In fact, the body textures are not applying, either.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?   What can be done to fix it? 

Whenever I try to load G3F I get this message. Can anyone please help me know what it means?

I also attached the log of when I load the Genesis to the scene.

On the log: Vivienne is the character i'm working on, there's also a problem with expressions and Volpe is a character from another store.

After my first session in DS after that strange message, though, I went to fire up DAZ Install Manager, and noticed the password field in the DIM login pane was empty.  I plugged my password in, clicked the Start button, it behaved as normal after that, and I proceeeded to have it download and install all my recent buys.

A little while later, I fired up DIM again, and the password field was yet again blank, even though I have the Remember Me checkbox set.  Every time since then that I've launched DIM, it has given me an empty password field.  Any idea what's going on here?

1. Chose the object I wanted to be the shadowcater, selected it both in the scene tab and the surfaces tab, then applied the advance Iray nodes properties script.

2. Enabled the iray matte function for the selected object.

3. Turned the chosen object's visibilty off in the scene tab.

4. No shadow appears. 

What am I doing wrong? :(

The picture is of the Iray preview, which shows the legs darkening whenever I try to render a no-suit. It's not matching the rest of the outfit.

How do I fix this? Was this a common problem with the No-Suit?

Where I go I get only the 32 bit version and wonder if it will affect my installation of the 64 bit version.

maybe someone can provide me the link to download it, because I would like to try the Daz3D Studio next to Poser.

Thank you in advance for any sugestion,

The thing is, this figure looks better than most of the figures being made now IMO, but it doesn't seem to pose so great, and its missing anatomical elements.

Is there a way to convert this figure to Genesis 2 Female so I can have better luck animating and posing it and also use 3rd party anatomical elements with it?

I've glanced over some discussions of GenX and UVs and it's all over my head. I read it and reread it, It doesn't click for me, I can really only learn by doing.

So is there a simple step by step of what products I need and what I need to do to convert this figure to G2F? And if I convert it, will it retain the same exact shape?

Also, this is the only Genesis female figure I need to convert, so I don't want to spend a lot of money on this. If it can be done manually with some extra work, I would rather do it that way since I hate to spend a bunch of money for a one-off.

I try to install DSON 64 bit and 32 bit and I get this message (see first attachment):

I installed DSON Manually into Poser pro 2012 and I got this error message (see other attachment):

I isntalled it directly into Runtime and I either got the same message or it started up with it.

Any help?

Thanks

and WARNING: ..\..\..\src\dzdynamicsengine.cpp(2611): Error initializing OpenCL!

On some items dForce works and on others i get the above output. I apply the default modifer for dynamic items. Does anyone know whats wrong.

Just recently, about everytime I use DAZ Studio, it seems I have to uninstall it, to re-install it, and then I can open it again, but when I close it out, heaven forbid that I might want to open it again, because this is what I get!!!!!!

Needless to say, I'm getting a little PO'ed about this, it won't open DS until I un-install, then restart the damn computer, then re-install, just what is going on here?
