Hey all. 

Any way to get the UV map that Daz uses for gen2 so I can make her outfit in Cinema 4d.  Gen 2 models have so many polygon subdivisions that its very difficult to create an optimized UV map in Bodypaint 3D. (Its why Gen2 is so pretty).  I'm using Pusey's incredibly awesome G2F bodysuit for her outfit.   Yet Pusey was obviously able to make a perfect UV map for the bodysuit that takes and scales textures flawlessly.   I want to be able to do that too.  The specific issues I'm dealing with are one, the map often becomes a bunch of scraps (especially the legs and arms.  Oddly the torso is the one thing I can make in bodypaint that's worth a darn), two there's huge amounts of overlap that I can't manually fix and three, the UV polygon size varies greatly so uniform material patterns don't look so uniform when they get projected on the 3d model. 

If it helps I have all the Autodesk products (including Mudbox), Cinema 4d, Vegas Pro, Fusion 8, Unity Pro and most of the adobe products.  I don't have after effects but IMO Fusion 8 is just as good. I don't have Zbrush but I do have Mudbox.  I can't bring over rigs or textures correctly in the Fbx format.  Collada (dae) works the best for me since the rigging works when exported.  But it doesn't bring over the awesome Andorian Bob hair (by unavailable, I try to give credit but I need to know the artists name!).  And there are other issues with dae formats.  

How do I fix that?

Here, for example, is an asset that I can't copy from:

Daz Studio Formats>My Daz 3D Library>Vehicles>Land>Luxy Car 1950>Scenes

To:

Categories>Default>Transportation>Land>Ford Thunderbird, 1950

I wonder how can I stall content into DAZ from 3rd party, with the Install manager. I remember I had found a resource with the information on how to do it months a go, but I cant find it.

This method used the downloaded compressed files zip or rar and loads them directly into the install manager as they are, its a pretty quick process. I want to find out how to do it, I cant remember the details. Anybody knows? Its driving me crazy, friends haha.

Well this be an OK card to use for iRay renders?

Or would Asus DUAL-GTX1070-O8G

be a better choice (The price is almost the same)

Thanks ))

Thanks!

2. In what circumstances are each used

3.  How do I create both of them

Thanks

I didn't see anything that indicated that.

I've recently purchased the Lune Nails for Genesis 3 Females product located at [https://www.daz3d.com/lune-nails-for-genesis-3-female-s ]

I've run inti a bit of an issue when trying to render the nails.  (I'm using IRAY.)

I've applied the shape, texture and shader but the render doesn't come out right at all.  In the main scene view the nails look perfect, but after rendering they come out completely white. You can see a slight texture on them but not really all that much!  See the images below which will explain better :)

This is the view in the main scene window - notice everything looks AOK:

This is the view after rendering:

I have followed all instructions, and changed the UV maps to the LuneNails one.  Everything appears fine until I attempt to render, then the nails always come out white.  I've use the American flag nails in this example, but I have tried multiple and the results always turn out the same.

Any ideas?  It's probably something I've missed but I really cant work it out!

Thanks :)

[edit] Fixed it! I changed the workspace to a different one and then back again, and the content library reset to show the folders and content and search now works...odd.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Wondering if Mixamo or Daz 4.9 has changed, and if there is another way to import animations?

I have a problem using Daz 4.9+. I seem to have tried everything but my poses won't load.

Can somebody tell me how to do it step by step, pretty please?

What I tried:

1/ I install DAZ 4.9 via the install manager. I get:

(etc. = daz created folders, I will list them all if you need them)

- folders in program files with the download/install manager

- Folders in my documents (C:\Users\*****\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\etc. )

- Folders in c:\users\public\etc.

I tried putting my files in all those folders, and they never appear in DAZ despite all that...

I'm desperate. Hope somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Am I able to use the plugin to print at home?

Any and all help appreciated
Thanks

1) I'm working on a picture and suddenly the program skips to another asset. Maybe I'm moving a barrel then suddenly it shifts and now I'm moving a wall segment.

2) I'm working on a picture and suddenly the pointer vanishes.

Thanks for any feedback on this, its getting irritating.

I work on a 2017 iMac running High Sierra. I picked up an Akitio Node and an Geforce GTX 1080 hoping to improve my rendering times but have been bogged in technicalities ever since. The Thunderbolt bus shows the Node, but not the card, and after a couple weeks of banging my head against the wall with various driver updates, hacky terminal commands and assorted other voodoo, that's still where I'm at. Anyone here have any advice? 

The list seems hard coded to be populated with 7 maps (no matter what the materials are). How do I populate the "Created Images" list with the maps that Markus Zombie actually uses? 

When I run the plugin, I get the diffuse and bump maps created for the new atlas UVs, but in the case of Markus Zombie, need the Translucency Color, Glossy Layered Weight and Top Coat Weight maps as well.

Thanks in advance for any info anybody can provide.

Does anyone know if or how it is possible to set up custom keyboard shortcuts in 4.9? In particular, I want to have a ks that moves keyframe or animate2 on by 1 frame, thus making frame by frame adjustment quicker by a factor of 1 zillion!

Thanks in advance,

G

If you are familiar with the triangles I'm talking about and know how to combat them, will you please tell me?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
