It may seem a bit nit-picky of me, but that sort of thing does bug me. And I'd like to know what's causing it.

Thanks so much!

I did a test with decimator

Scene number 1
Resolution (polygons): 607.068
Materials memory consumption 417.371 KIB (GPU)
Two genesis 3
clothes and environment with textures with 2048x2048.
Photoreal (Fullhd), i only change in progressive rendering, max samples to 2000,  max time(secs) to 20000 and rendering quality enable (off)
this scene take 1 hour, it's ok for my computer!

Scene numer 2
Resolution (polygons): 321.643
Materials memory consumption 255.195 KIB (GPU)
One genesis 3
clothes and environment with textures with 2048x2048.
Photoreal (Fullhd), i only change in progressive rendering, max samples to 2000, max time(secs) to 20000 and rendering quality enable (off) same thing.
this scene take 2 hours and a half sometimes 3, and sometimes sends the process to CPU, then render time takes  6 hours, probably something like that.

Is it a bug, or is it just something I don't understand? please someone explain to me... and hope you guys understand my english.

So I applied a silver shader, then applied emissive and put a dark gray on the emission color... but the rendered glow is still white.

Looking into some color theory, metalic colors are the results of light hitting them, so I don't know if you can actually have a metalic producing light.

I'm trying to set up DAZ3D on my new computer like it was set up on my old and I have a small but troublesome problem with my preferred workspace layout, Self Serve. 

I've attached a screenshot with the issue circled. In the Surfacing|Rendering tab, the viewport falls off the bottom of the screen and gets tucked behind the right side panels. This didn't happen on my old setup so any idea why and how I correct it? I'm sure I'm probably just being an idiot and there is a quick fix but I can't for the life of me find it! The wierd thing is, I fixed it once by undocking and redocking the viewport panel but then when I opened DAZ again the problem was back and that trick didn't fix it again... so is it possible it's some kind of glitch? It's annoying as the reason I like Self Serve is that I can flick back and forth from my Posing area to Rendering area but that's not much use if a large chunk of what will be rendered falls off the bottom of the screen/is covered over by panels so I can't see it...

Cheers for any help

Thanks,

Don

It just looks like a giant baggy mess. What do I do to fix this?

I am running win 7 with the latest DAZ3D 4.8 and when I go into fuill screen mode I can not exit by escape.

Searched everywhere with no solution?

Thanks

Please see the attached screen shot. Surely, someone here in the forum has a lot more computer knowledge than I do (I worked on computers for 35 years on my job. You'd think I would know more than I seem to.) Tearing my hair out!

"Importing please wait..." and never does anything after that.

I'm running the programs on Windows 10 with Daz 4.10 and Maya 2017

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Here's the current version.

The maps I'm applying have plenty of craters in the target area.

I checked my download folder and noticed that there is only 22237-01 The Pool House and install manager can't find it to download either. The file is in my product library and can be downloaded manually but is there any way to get install manager to find it and install it?

Thanks 

I'm working with Genesis 2.

I would very much like to create such a creature:

I would very much like to keep the functionaly of Genesis 2 with the great parameters, so creating a new model from scratch isn't my goal.

I have seen quadruped morphs for Genesis 2, but I think this scenario requires some else.

Does anybody have any great idea how I could accomplish such a creature??

Thanks!

Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks.

EDIT

Just tried disabling and reenabling the Smart Content plugin (closing Daz as needed), and that didn't fix it, so we can rule that out.

SECOND EDIT

I did some better Googling and found the answer here https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/37920/smart-content-stopped-working-for-g2f Uninstalling and reinstalling G2F Starter Essentials fixed it. Hopefully this helps someone if they have the some problem.

Use D.IM for ALL installation..

Strange thing happens

Some products are not found and give first the question

(in this example i would like to add Teen Josie 8)

"would you like save changes in the current scene before closing it"

I do not want to close that scene at all.. so i say no (but yes does not give an other result)

Recource Error

could not open file : people/genesis 8 female/characters/Teen Josie.duf

(when i go to that directory she is there.. and when I click on her.. DAZ opens her but not in the scene i wanted her in)

So some products are found (just got Abandoned House by stone mason..) and when I install it... it works perfect

other female figures do too... but there are some products like teen josie 8 that do not want to load

(the centaur 7 same problem)...

What can it be

Thanks!

Install manager V1.1.0.72 will not accept my Account name and Password

I can sign in through Daz3d software and the Daz3d website without issue but Install Manager says it is unable to login to the specified account.

I have uninstalled and re-installed with no success.

Any thoughts?

But recently i start to use the draw settings and change it to interactive and IT WORKED! than i load a scene with envoriment and genesis 3 and clothes, etc... AND IT WORKED TOO! And it gets better.... I click to render and WORKS!... but it was too good to be true...

I decided to make some tests to compare the quality of both, and i started other scene and the problems came back again!

What happen are that in the draw settings, when i put in interactive mode that happens ---> (https://imgur.com/a/FYi7q)  Will load forever if I let.

Other time doesn't even carry (https://imgur.com/a/GdEW1)

And if i change to Photoreal (https://imgur.com/a/Rboty)

If the render mode is marked as interactive this happen ---> (https://imgur.com/a/jvOQL) and if are marked as photoreal ---> (https://imgur.com/a/kNSNT)

If i start an scene with interactive mode enabled when i click in nvidia iray will work and if i click in render it will works too...  I save this scene, close the program and open again, load the scene and works too! i make an change on the scene and does not work again! (I cannot create the same scene every time i start the program.) (While writing this I realized that if the scene was too heavy, it also does not works) but this no make sense, because it load in photoreal what is are more heavy.

Restarting the program don't solve the problem, no even reinstall it.

My english sucks, but i hope someone understand. Please someone help-me!

I'm experiencing this oddity. Recently, when I buy new stuff and install it, I see the stuff is there and loads properly. But when I categorize it, it doesn't appear in the proper category. I mean, the category appears but not the click buttons to load the content.

I proceed normally going in the Library folder, People (for example), Genesis 3 Female, Clothing, Urban Survivors for Genesis 3 Female, and right-click on it selecting Create Category From Selected Folder & Sub-folders, and choose the category I want. Then, I go to the category, the folder is there, but no loading icons. 

What is happening?

Cheers 

(The screenshots, below, show which ones)

The product page does indicate 4.10 is required, so- after checking 4.9- I tried downloading and installing it into Beta 4.10.   But ut did not appear in B4.10, either.

Is it not compatible with Beta?

(DM says that I do have the latest version of DM) 

I have a problem. Every character I import from daz into MB has weird eyes, lashes and hair. I've been searching a lot from the internet and every single answer seems to be the same

"You lack transparency map".

I tried to find a youtube video showing me how to do this, but I could not find one. I found an article "http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/artzone/pub/tutorials/dazstudio/studio-export01", but the images are 404, so I have really no idea what to do.

It seems like I need to use photoshop, which I am complete noob in. I am also very new with MB. Can someone explain me, maybe with images, what I need to do in order to get for example G3M eyes to look atleast little bit normal?

I attached an image from MB showing the problem. I also attached image from the folder where the FBX-exporter put all the materials. I have no idea which of those I need to modify and how.

Update: found where they were hiding so all is fixed.. :)

When around minute 2:26 he teaches how to save the aniblock, but mine doesn't have that option.

When I have the block selected, it doesn't show (image). Do I miss an add-on?

The same ICON appears in the lower right corner of the Aux Viewport as well.

What is its purpose?  It isn't selectable, nor does it display a tool tip identifying its function.

Please help, i need to do that for my book cover.
