I've got two problems needed to be solved... I wanted to use my model (saved previously as 3D SCENE) but I've got some problems with some parts of the body (as you can see on the picture below). What should I do to fix this errors??

Second problem is with my pet - parrot - I can't find anywhere (also in Daz Store) a good pose/poses for this model. Does anybody of you know where I sholud look for this items(or any bird poses work with DAZS STUDIO 4.9)? I will be gratefull for any answer...

The asphalt appears to be applied in the wrong scale. See screenshot of US3Block01 Iray, this is how it looks when first loaded, no changes made:

Applying the US3 Multi Layer Road Surface does not change anything either.

Apart from the scale of the texture, how do I get the white street lines to appear? I understand the road texture has 3 layers, but experimenting with the layer 1-3 weights does nothing to how the texture looks.

Any help would be appreciated!

1. How do I make a short video render entirely from the camera point of view?

2. My first renders where always dark, until I changed to "Sun-Sky", and set the day time to 11:55 A.M. then things seemed fine... uhm, why was it dark (no matter how many lights I added) to begin with? 

3. now when I render, all I get is a pure black blot. why?

does Daz work or not? 

4. How do I do a TOTAL UNISTALL - no hidden folders, no saved preferences, etc. a total nuclear option, to take it out, and start over.?

5. I had scoured the web for an easily accumilated 100 gigs of free-stuff for Daz3d: Needless to say, much of that conent did not work at all - and when it does... It doesn't show up in the "ALL FILES" of products, my library, or even the content library. Imagine my exasperation:  I unzip a file, I read the read me, (which is 70% of the time is two or so pointless sentences) I am sometimes left with a set of files and no clue where they go in "My library" - That just sucks. I consider this a FAILURE of the people behind Daz3d to make 3rd party daz content plug and play. I had more fun modding the SIMS 2. and if the massive mountains of FREE, but unorganized content didn't teach the folks at Daz to refine how Content needs to be "Plug'n'Play" without fail. I have a UV file - where does that go? I have an mtl file, where does that go? I have a 3d object file, I have a jpeg, I have a png, I get files that don't even blong there (my favorite so far was a colorful PDF catalogue for a dead link...) 

I am having to do WAY TOO MUCH WORK, to use a program that so far...  HAS NOT WORKED.

Solutions would be nice, especially if these are brought up by other users (repeatedly)...

Daz, can these issues be resolved, or not? let me know now - do not waste my time please.

New on Daz 3d, and can't resolve a problem when I open Daz Studio

If anyone can help me to fix that problem,it'll be great

Thanks

I've been searching on the forum if anyone had this problem too but I didn't find anything.

Well, I've been trying to render a sequence with Iray, not in "Photorealism" but in Interactive as I wanted some object not to cast shadows. So I did what I wanted and deactivated "cast shadow" on the object and verified that it was still active on everything else and it was. Before rendering, I made sure that "shadows" in the render setting was "on".

Unfortunatly, despite all my effort, There is absolutly not a single shadow in the render and I don't understand why. I've been using DAZ 3D since a week now so probaly it's due to my lack of knowledge but I'd be glad if anyone could help me with this one as I'm getting truly desperate ^^'.

Anyway, thanks in advance to anyone who could help me.

So I'm new here, and have been playing a bit with Daz, which includes buying some add-ons.

But some don't seem to work well, to the point where I'm wondering if I should ask for a refund or if I just don't get it right.

For example, I bought : https://www.daz3d.com/sidereal, and despite the fact that it should work with Gen3 male, well, it doesn't (I click and the props don't appear on him at all, even if the character is selected).

Another instance is Magus clothes, that I have in Daz3, and that don't fit any generation, including base Genesis.

And a few others, you get the drill. So, am I missing something ?

TIA

Now I've been able to get around this to an extent by dragging said prop/wardrobe/etc into the scene, but that sometimes results in things getting parented when I don't want that to happen and other inconveiences.

So I 'm guessing that I have to do something to get DAZ Studio to look for these resources in "My Library" instead of "My Daz Connect Library." The question is...what the heck do I do?!

in the past it has worked 100%, but for some reason in my latest scene, it's taking out the bright green emissive cone, and replacing it with a black cone instead.

If I add the alpha option in canvases, it then replaces the bright green rectangle with a alpha rectangle, effectively cutting a huge cone shape into my image.

Has anyone ever experienced this who can lead me in the right direction?

Edited to add: Okay, fired up DS anew, loaded a fresh G3M directly from Smart Content > Figures > People, and got exactly the same locked-down results, so apparently its not something related to loading a character from a saved scene-preset.  Oo  What am I missing here?

I updated the instal manager and found later that it had wiped my download & Instal locations so now almost a thousand items are in a different locations .

As the new default (C:) is an SSD I need to move everything to my larger HD drive but Install manager doesnt see my old content any more.

Has anyone run into this issue?

How can I combine these into one drive so that Install manager can recognise both groups of downloads?

I take it there must be some record file(s) that take care of this?

Thanks for any advise;)

I redownloaded the program with DIM, let the exe run, and still nothing.

Desktop shortcuts are gone, and even navigating to the .exe file location doesn't help.

Any ideas?

What I am doing is a transition "effect" on a Genesis 3 character. Using the timeline she has a start shape morph some keyframe guides and an end shape. All good nothing complicated.

The next layer of the effect is a transition from one character texture to another. She has a 2nd texture on a geoshell which  I used mcausuals MatAnim script to set the OpacityStength to animated (Linear). This opacity field is shifting from 100% to 0% during the range of the animation to hide her fading tan.Over so many  frames my character changes from one character to another with a slow blend of texture.

It works fine on my simple scene seed but then I typically save it to composite with other elements. Hair and cloths are working fine when it has a low displacement.

The obstacle is that the animation data of the geoshells opacity strength does not seem to be saving, loading or both.

I'm using Daz version 4.9.2.70 but can bite the bullet and update if this would help. 

I have tried saving the geoshell as material preset, wearable and the scene simply as a scene.

Can anyone suggest how to save/load my full scene data with the keyframe data on these normally hidden properties?

Regard BlueSirus :P

P.S. Solved through search mcasuals script for something else!

There is a script to save animation data that is not in the normal saves

Does anyone else feel that DAZ has missed the boat in not making sure all of their contect is usable in Poser?  My thinking is this that DAZ makes most of its money out of selling content and up until Genesis most of DAZ content was compatible with Poser.  DSON was a great step towards rectifying a bad situation for everyone including DAZ sales department.  Excluding G3 and G8 figures from being able to be used in Poser is a huge step backwards both as far as clients and sales are concerned.

I can composite layer stuff, doing the backgrounds in cinema 4d and then just rendering the characters in daz and combining them in photoshop.  But I'd like to be able to do it all in cinema 4d's renderer and in the same lighting conditions.  Otherwise I'm going to have to just use neutral lighting in daz, add gradient shadows in photoshop to the characters, and hope for the best.  

So the questions are as follows:

1.  Anyone know how to export a daz actor as (essensially) a statue with no moving parts.  I'm experimenting with the different file types and settings.

2.  Anyone have any serious documentation on the different file types daz exports to or a good pipeline I can use.  If you do, assume I'm an idiot in your explaination.

3.  If anyone regularly renders their posing animation by exporting the .bvh files (or whatever you do) into cinema 4d, any guidance about your workflow would be wonderful.  Especially the pitfalls.

I'm having an issue with geografting.  Hope someone can help me out.  I don't try this very often and I think I had it down once but I've slept too many times since then and can't figure out what I'm missing.

I've tried both methods that I could find on this (OBJ import/export and Hexagon Bridge) and both ways yield the same result.  I haven't touched scaling while working on the figures and the original started out zeroed and at base resolution.  On export/import, I use Hexagon scale and that's the modeler I'm using.  May be a Hexagon import/export issue.  I'm not sure.

When I import to DAZ, the graft's positioning is perfect.  All faces match up perfectly.  My hopes are high.  I use the transfer utility and for some reason it scales up the skeleton it creates approximately 65%.  When I complete the georafting process and fit it to the figure, as expected, the skeleton scales down to match the original and the mesh follows.  My hopes are dashed. 

I've tried several times using different settings in the TU like reverse shape from target or using current instead of default.  It all comes out the same or worse.  I followed the tutorials to the letter and still can't make it work. 

I compared the bones between the two figures before fitting and the properties (center, end points and orientation) are exactly the same.  It doesn't match up visually so I'm guessing it has to be scale related.  I know I've seen this issue referred to in another post but for the life of me I can't find it again.  The search feature in these forums leaves a lot to be desired. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I know pictures would help but the graft is genitalia related.  I'm hoping someone's light bulb is already on and they've dealt with this before. 

Thanks in advance... 

It's extremely frustrating--especially with Flash Sale items--and I'm sure others have experienced the same problem. If someone could tell me how to cure it, I'd be duly grateful.

[ edit/update: Waiting 20 minutes or so did the trick. Still, it's a weird and annoying glitch that I've never experienced anywhere else. ]
