Let's say I have a basic afternoon scene.

Obviously, the lightning would be natural from the windows and whatnot, but after that, how exactly do I make my characters have that same light shine upon them as well? do I light the scene so it looks good and THEN also do a 3 point light setup or something for the character in the scene with the additonal light already there? Trying to make the

Thanks!

I don't understand why it's blurry compared to the product screenshots.

Can you tell me how to get this quality please ?

Thank you, Conejobob

Edited to fix link

For example when I use the H&C police Unofrm and add a bulge to the character's anatomical element area, the clothing can't handle it. It is like there is a hole down in the groin and becomes  distorted even in a basic standing there clothing pose. There is no real smoothing option. I have a number of outfits made this way with various wardrobe issues. and the problematic ones seem to be made with Marvelous Clothing designer.

Any suggestions on how to get the fits to work without tearing or poking through the body or causing elements to disappear?  It should be working right?

Can anyone with Brooklyn HD help me? I run into some issues with her:

+ When I load Brooklyn HD character into Daz Studio, the Viewport become very laggy, when I pan around or rotating the view.

+ On the scene tab, the character is shown as "Victoria" (her based model) and not Brooklyn HD.

These issues is minor, and actually don't affect my work. However I want to know if anyone else has these issues, or there is something wrong with my installation.

Thank you very much

But now when i download and install new products through DIM I get the following

So today, i made a new outfit for the basic Genesis 8 Female. Something that i hope to possibly put on the Daz Store as a freebie. But i want to have it complete and working before i do.

But.. I ran into a rather bothersum issue today.
(Screen Shot 1) My outfit. Looks Good right? At least for a first outfit :)

SO i wanted to test her in the starting posses. Most of them have "Flaws" to the outfit, which can be expected. But most of them are not very noticable. However, when i went into a particular pose... I knew i had to find a fix.
(Screen Shot 2) Pose/Issue i'm talking about.

So, i did some looking, and found you can create morph targets for the clothing. Note i am using Marvelous Designer 6 for my cloths making. So i followed their tutorials on how to do so, everything when smooth. Exported it as a morph target, and uploaded it in Daz. Which was wrong, and i quickly learned that wasn't the right way to do it. Then i learned about the feature "Morph Loader Pro", and imported my morph target there. Okay, now i have a morph slider on the skirt. (Screen Shot 3) Shows the Slider Bar.

So what happens when i turn it all the way up? It does what it supose to do... except for one small thing -_- which clearly doesnt work.
(Screen Shot 4) The issue.

Is there another way to go about this, or am i doing something wrong? Like i said, new here and i know i have a lot to learn. Most of it i can find tutorials on.. But i'm having a hard time with this one. I did find one tutorial where the woman was doing a dress, and showed how to fix a stretching issue. Even though this wasn't my problem... Kinda... I followed it. The problem is, she was using an older version of Daz, and a few of the things she did... I couldn't for whatever reason. To be honest, i relieze my issue is probably something very small, and probably very simple.. But for the life of me, i cant figure it out :/

Chosing New Shader adds a subset of the Metalacity PBR, but it's missing lots of bricks, like the entire Emission and Metalic Flake sets.

Chosing Import from Scene and and object with Uber applied, will load everything that is "activated"... so if you've changed the emission color or Metalic Flake Weight, they'll be added, but if you haven't, they won't.

IS THERE A WAY to add the full set, without having to manually activate everything (and thus risk missing things)?

Thanks!

thanks

I would like to ask how I can show the triangle count of the selected model at the current mesh resolution.

Thank you very much.

If so all help would be much appreciated.

I'm wondering if the following would be a serviceable replacement:

1. Dell XPS 8920 Desktop Tower
2. 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-7700 Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.2 GHz)
3. Windows 10 Home 64bit English (would perfer Windows 8, but Dell only offers Windows 10)
4. 16GB, 2400MHz, DDR4
5. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5

I'm trying to get some custom (rigged) models into daz but can't quite get it working properly.

The models themselves are initially created and rigger in blender, they work just fine and bend properly in blender. Just to be sure I've also tested importing them into other software, such as Unreal & Unity, where they also work like expected.

Importing them into Daz seems to be a bit more problematic however. Importing them as .fbx files just gives me a horribly broken mess, I've seen recommendations online that .dea files work better, and yes do they seem to work slightly better in that the models don't get quite as distorted (see below), but they do still not import properly. .obj files works fine, but obviously means you lose the rig.

Importing them into Poser works perfecly without any issues, so I'm a bit confused why Daz is having such problems.

Due to licensing issues I can't post pictures of the actual models, but I get the same issue no matter what models I try to import, so I made a simple cylinder model as an example.

In Blender it looks just fine and bends properly:

In Poser it also works perfectly:

The 3 cloest to working workflows I've currely managed to find are the following:

1. Import into Poser, export scene from there and then import that into Daz.

With this method it doesn't get distorted on import, but it also doesn't bend properly:

2. Import as .obj and then rig/weightmap in Daz.

I've tried this multiple times, but I always seem to end up with one of two results; either it bends like the image above. Or it bends like this:

3. Import as .dae.

With the cylinder model this seems to work somewhat better than the more complex models, but it still ends up distorted.

It does seem to bend properly with this method, but the bones get somewhat oddly placed and most importantly the model is distorted (it's supposed to be a cylinder, so the bottom should be flat).

I'm obviously missing something / doing something wrong, but I just can't wrap my head around it.

Anyone have any tips?
Thank you!

The problem is similar to the one I encountered with textures, but this involves the product itself.

I extracted them, and-  through Edit>Preferences>Content-  I placed them in Daz Studio Formats.

However, when I follow the DS Formats path to open them, no product appears at the end of the path.

With textures, I could go through surfaces, and merge the texture.  But in this caser, how do I locate the products, so I can merge them, or apply them to a character?    

Now more and more Content is not appearing.

I tried reinstalling product, turning off the computer, things like that.

More and more of my product seems to be disappearing. Even after reinstalling, only some content is reappearing.

...and I'm getting error messages that say: 'Unknown File Format'- 'No importer for the file format can be found'.

Anyone else encounter this problem?

Anyone have an idea what might be happening?

     I'm totally fine if this is a dead end. I know Daz3D wasn't originally designed to make animations. I just don't like wasting time. 

Cannot find any discussions on this issue.

So my question is; does a person really care if there's duplicate formulas, other than the annoying popup?

Thank you
