But before saving it as an asset, I'd like to lock in its new size so that when I reload it, it will appear at exactly the right size, but the scale factor will say 100%.

In Blender, this is called "applying" a transform. DS may offer the same feature but with a different name.

1. Export the object to Blender (or equivalent editing package of your choice) as an OBJ (other formats might work -this is what she uses)
2. Fiddle with the position of the vertices
3. Re-import the modified OBJ using Morph Loader Pro (MLP), which creates the morph by comparing the original position of the vertices in the unmodified object to the modified positions. 

There are obviously subtleties depending on whether you're creating your own morph or wanting the item to react to an existing character morph, but I basically get it.

So here are the questions:

1. Is this technique only applicable to clothing? Or is this essentially how PA's create custom character shapes as well?
2. I've seen forum references to "ERC Freeze" (or something like that) related (I think) to morphs as well. What is that for, and how does it differ from what MLP does?
3. If the MLP technique works for characters, could I use it to convert a character shape created with dozens of different dials to an independent/standalone "single dial morph" by exporting the complexly-morphed character and then re-importing that shape (using MLP) against the base Genesis figure to which I'd done all the dialing? (Note: the question is technical, not legal. Not talking about using this as a technique for creating saleable items.)

(Inquiring minds want to know how stuff works "under the hood" ????)

What i managed to do so far is to export a G3 character as fbx, import it into 3dexchange and then into iclone, animate / pose it in iclone, export it back to to 3dexchange and then export it from 3dexchange. But when i import it into daz studio, no matter if i use bvh or fbx, the animation / pose is not there (for fbx it's just a basic tpose and for bvh is something totally different from what i have in the file - and the bvh file itself is fine, i checked it with a bvh viewer).

So what is the proper way to import poses / animations to Genesis3?

I have submitted a bug report and was told it is a known problem, and I will be contacted again. However, I don't know what the bug is, which means I have no clue how to avoid the problem until a fix is announced.

Any one know what the cause is?

PC: i7-7700 (8 core) 32 Meg RAM, GTX1080. Windows 10 (64 bit). Studio version 4.9 (Latest).

And an example of a scene that crashed while doing a small spot render:

Also, the light always look bright as day, whichever light I use.

Thanks!

I updated to the latest version last night (4.9.1.122 - 64bit) and now the viewports will not show preview renders in Iray mode. I don't have an nVidia card (yet) so this is all off the CPU. The CPU sounds like it's trying to preview render, but nothing really happens. If you move the model on the axis with the mouse, you can see a fuzzy, low rez version of the texture, but as soon as you stop moving the camera around it goes back to untextured (grey).

If I could roll back to the previous version I would. I rely on this for lights, DOF cameras etc. I've updated my Intel and AMD drivers, but that didn't help.

Any suggestions I can try? Thanks!

Getting a lot of this in the log file. Don't know if this is good or bad...

Anybody has any suggestions? Why isn't "Multiply" showing up in the list?

Is there anything that can be done about this?

This image is Monique 7. I'm seeing this in Genesis 8 as well.

It's not as easy to find on some skin tones than others, but I need a dark skinned model and this line is really getting in the way of things...

Can this be controlled with lighting, adjusting shaders on the prop, or something?

When I try to open the Nvidia Control panel, I get the following message:

But still, when I'm on DS, and I have the viewport set to Nvidia Iray, it works!

Apparently there's some compatibility issue.

Has anyone had this in the past?

Does anyone know the solution?

Drivers are up to date. Already tried restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling, in different orders, nothing worked.

It is important for me to be able to Render images the proper way so that I can have them in full size.

I have a figure that I posed using a combination of partial canned poses and tweaking.  For some reason after loading up the scene one day, I can no longer select parts of the figure to move using the Node Selection tool.  I can select the character's hair, but not any part of the body.  Tried restarting Studio, rebooting the PC, tried going to the Posing/Shaping tab--nothing worked.  The only way I can select any body part to pose is to select the body part from the body hierarchy in the Scene tab.  Then I can pose it.

Running Studio 4.8 Pro on Windows 7 x64.  Don't usually have any issues like this, so I'm thinking I may have done something (changed a setting) without realizing it.

Any advice please? :D

This is exactly why I refuse to update to DS 4.9 and why I still run Win 7 Pro. Updates always break more things than they fix.

I spent days reinstalling everything last time this happened.

Any help ould be very appreciated, thanks!

Also, I do not seem to have luxrender.exe installed, is this the issue?

I really don't know where to ask this question, but if this isn't the right place, please let me know where it is. I just installed the Genesis 8 Male and Female Expressions (two separate products), and they are just not showing up in the content library from within Daz. They're in the data and runtime-support folders in a Windows search of my desktop, but I just don't see any way to access them from Daz. Please, does anybody know what might be going on here? I'd REALLY like to use these files. Thanks. :) 

Thanks for the help!

Also the "Show Floor"option is ticked.

First I get the "Unable to load Scene Items" dialog (my content directories are the default locations):

Here are just a couple of errors from the log file,  but there are similar errors for the other blocks. These files do exist in those locations:

Error loading storable: C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library/data/SMCGBlock1_1992/SMCGBlock1_1992/maps/uv.dsv

Here is the set upon completion. Not sure if anything is missing from it:

Here is one with terrain, if it helps:

Any suggestions? Is anyone else getting these errors? It's not happening with other products.

So here's what I'm trying to do. I have a saved dialed character that started with Victoria 8. It took a long time to get here, but I think she's perfect for what I need. :) I don't need the texture transferred-- just the dialed morphs. Can this character be transferred to and used on a Genesis 2 female? The biggest reason I want to do this is that the V4 poses seem to work pretty well with Gen2, but they're obviously just not happening at all with Gen8. It seems like this would be a lot easier than trying to convert all the poses from V4 to Gen1 to Gen2 to Gen3 to Gen8... ;) (but if that's the only way to do it... I could do that too.)

So can the character transfer be done? Would I need to get a script for it? Is there a product that does this? All suggestions appreciated. 

Right now my cart says the regular sale price of 45% off.

No code or anything that I can see.

I just noticed that several of my Daz figures have different parameter scale, Bethany7 for example is 97% while Ivan7 is 102.5%.

Is this the way it should be? Or have I messed something up?

Thanks in advance.

For example, let's say I forgot to include a prop in the scene and I want to re-do the scene from the exact same position that I am in. However, I am going to have to zoom in and out as I position the prop. Is there a way to record exactly what position I did the render from, go off and position the prop and then come back to the exact same position to re-render the scene from the same spot?
