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?

I bought this product last night and I can't seem to find any textures. When I'm in my Smart Content folder and I click on Materials, I see the a couple of tabs from the product. But when I click on it, it breaks the program. Am I doing something wrong? :( Thanks.

It reads, "Please see the video below for a quick demonstration on the usage of this product."

I was kinda diappointed. I would have liked to see how this product works. 

I have a pair of bracers created in Hexagon and have brought them into DAZ3D.

I converted them to figures using the inherit bone structuter.

One part of the mesh overlaps Gensis 3 Femal : Right Shoulder Bend.

I want it to not be associated with it, I want it to be cleared so it is not associated with anything, because the mesh deforms as it is now.

How do I clear the association?

Cheers

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. 

Please help me: how to apply shaders to a chosen model surface?

I tried saving the Zbrush document, but all this did was save a document with my M4 figure a static thing on the screen that was no longer a mesh that I could edit.

At the moment, my project is creating textures for a M4 character, so unlike with a morph I can't just click the GoZ button and send my work back to Poser to be saved in my scene and then export it through GoZ again when I want to begin work again.

I have spent the last few hours searching for an answer to this and I haven't had any luck.

Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated.

Please help?

The problem I've run into now, though, is there is a horizontil strip of alpha along the bottom of the little section of wall at the end of the hall,  and when I unhide the ceiling, there is a stripe of alpha along the top of the wall, too.  Upon careful inspection, I have determined it is likely the baseboards and the bit of trim at the TOP of the section of wall there (that arrives as part of the ceiling), which the retexturer mechanism has set to 100% alpha so that you no longer even see the baseboards and trim, and there's no way to actually totally derez that part via the eye-symbol, since there isn't a seperate one provided for just that baseboard or that bit of trim.  And the other bit of wall at the same spot is already totally derezzed via the eye-symbol, so that doesn't seem to be a factor.

Any idea how to fix this?  This is with the set (presumably) using the 3Dlight shaders while I'm rendering in iRay mode.  Would converting them all over to iRay via the Iray Uber Base shader possibly sort this?

I'm buying a new Laptop around 1000€

im quite clear on most specs but im doupting about one choice.

Taking a better videocard or investing in more internal storage.

Choice is probably: Geforce GTX 680M vs Geforce GTX 1060 Or 8 MB internal vs 16 mb

This all for smother working and rendering in Das 3d and poser11 (and likewise)

Thank you!

I did try it with Blender 2.78 without any luck, I tried the FBX I followed the video tutorial settings:


But my character get totally twisted and broken (it's very scary!)
I downloaded the fresh latest version of Blender 2.79 and tried again but had no luck, same issues.

So I wonder if somebody at the forums got some different workflow or technique to make it work? any tips?

Thanks ahead!

I manually installed the files and the Pix Darga has the same issue. Please fix this installer package and if Daz could please step up the QA on the final package files that'd be great. This sorta thing has happened to me now 4 times this year. 

Yes I will file a support ticket. I just wish this didn't come up quite so often.

Thanks for the help!

I am just realizing now that with all the characters I buy for the G3F figure, I am experiencing morph bloat with tons of morphs being loaded with G3F. Is there a way to only load certain characters to the G3F without having to uninstall characters with the DIM? My G3F model takes forever to load because of the shedload of characters I have installed.

For example, if I wanted to have a G3F character that has only the FW characters loaded on one and maybe all the EJ models on a different G3F. Would that involve renaming the base G3F figure into something like G3F1, GeF2 etc.?

What I like about V4 is the injection morph so the base model can be loaded quickly without loading a ton of morphs to characters I won't be using.

Anyway, just wondering if it is in the realm of possibility...

Thanks!

I also noticed that if I put a spotlight behind some glass (transparency 100%) it shows in the render, even if Render Emiter is Off.

Is there a way to really make the spotlight invisible but still casting the light?

Daz 4.9, IRay render.  

Thank you!

But Mimic Live is sending me the messages I've attached, below.

One of the messages appears on startup- the other two when I try to use Mimic, or try to configure the character (Configure File). 

The configuration process doesn't seem to be working correctly.  The character is genesis2, I wonder if g2 is not supported; I believe Aiko, Genesis and Victoria are supported.  (I'm sure what or where 'log' is, on the 'Error Starting Capture' message.)

How should I proceed, considering these message?.  

Thanks- any feedback very much appreciated

I created a simple disk (a flat cylinder obj) and a jpeg map to texture it that I apply as a map.
Pic 1 shows what happens, pic 2 is an example of what happens when I play with vertical/horizontal tiling and offseting.
Obviously not the result desired.
What am I doing wrong ?
What area do I have to work on ?

Thanks,
Oliver

Since a few days my Genesis 3 females have a changed geometry in their body (the head/face is unchanged/o.k.) which could be described as "ti...& a... enhancement" - sorry, I meaned "enhancements" in the chest/breast/cleavage and the glutes area. If you look at the screenshots you see what I mean - here the modification looks rather subtile, but when it's rendered and on figures which have already own modifications in this areas it's really messing the body.

So of course that's some morph which is responsible for the change. So far, so good. I am not really a beginner with Daz3D and know the problem f.e. from the "warrier princess" morph for G2... So of course my first look was the "Currently used" tab, but there is nothing shown what could be responsible - of course I have activated "show hidden properties".

To make the case more complicated: I have a very, very, very large content library, which has historically grown over years, so I have it on three different SSD devices to have better access performance. (In spite of this fact loading a scene or new figure takes a huge amount of time, because I have so many figures/morphs, including the transferred morphs from GenX - and of course I have all the "duplicate formula found" and error messages in my log which you ever could hope for - it's impossible to post it here...). I have a "My Library", a "My Library 2" and a "My Library 3" database on different SSDs, and fortunately/of course I have a backup on a harddisk.

It's obvious - there is some morph that's responsible for the distortion - and that must be a morph in a product I have recently installed. Unfortunately since the last backup I had installed a lot of products - from Daz3D, but also from other sources - it would be a horrible work to restore the backup and then install each product step for step again and to check everytime whether G3 loads correctly.

I found that the problem must be in "My Library 3" - if I load the backup version in the Content Directory Manager; instead of the actual/current version, the G3 female loads without distortion. Of course I thought it would be easy to identify the responsible morph now. I deleted/moved all files in the My Library 3\data\daz 3D\genesis 3\female\morphs\ folder which had been changed/newly installed since my last rendered picture without the distortion - but no success. I compared the logs loading the undistorted G3 via the distorted one - no difference!! The only interesting difference: In the cache folder there is a "female.cache.dsf" - with the backup library it has a size of 376.083 KB, with the current and spoiled library it has a size of 381.093 KB. So I guess the difference is the "evil" morph - I tried to compare the two files with "Winmerge" - but it told me "Not enough memory". I have 32 GB installed... WTF? So for now I am rather p.o.; pointless - is there no way to identify the "evil" morph ? Are there any other folders where morphs could have an interference with the G3 default figure? Is it possible that another newly installed product in my other libraries could cause the effect by an interference with "My Library 3"?

Thank you in advance for good ideas...

My workflow is to create the animation in a third party application, and then import it as an FBX into DAZ. I then save it as a pose preset, instead of dealing with any BVH export/import issues.
Applying that preset then to any G3 character is working very well.

However, I've now run into a scaling issue when applying a pose preset.
2 characters in the scene, one is a bit taller than the other. When I apply the pose presets to the characters, the shorter characters animation is scaled, compared to the full size character.
I have fuzzed with this for a while now and haven't been able to fix this problem. The animation was created with the correct hight of the figures. One is 100% in size, the other is 84% in size.

When I import the FBX into DAZ, the bones of the 2 figures animate correctly. The little clip shows how the bounding boxes of the skeletons move in unison after import into DAZ.
The 2nd half of the clip shows the pose presets applied to G3M (to keep it simple). The taller figure now outruns the shorter one.

Does anyone here know how to fix this? I've even tried BVH export and re-import in DAZ, but the animation scaling remains. Disabling the "Scale Translation" settings in BVH didn't fix the problem either.
If I scale up the shorter figure to 100%, the both animations are matched again.

Any ideas, please?

Thanks,
Kay
