Today, I purchased  i13 Tire Shop Environment with Poses for $24.95, but can not use Daz 3D because of this message: An error occurred while reading the file, see the log file for more details.

I have attached my LOG and Screenshot with this message.

Anyone know what is the problem?

Please Help. Thanks in advance!

I would like to know if putting one or two more video cards in my machine reduces the rendering time and possible create a realtime render situation. I have seen on youtube where 2 Titan X cards are used to utilize the realtime capability in Daz Studio but no instructions or set up tutorials were given, can someone enlighten me on how to set up this realtime rendering in Daz Studio?

Does anyone know how to properly uninstall Daz and fix these constant download issues with Gen 3 materials?

I've attached a screen shot to indicate what I mean.  As you can (hopefully) see, I've created a Null in this scene, and I've positioned it exactly at the same spot that the main camera is located.  (Yes, I know I could have used the camera, but I was experimenting with moving the "eye target" around.)  Both the left eye and the right eye have been set to "Look At" the null.  But, as you can see from the render, the right eye isn't looking there - it's rotated too far to the figure's right.  The left eye seems pretty good.  (Try holding your hand over one half of the face and then the other and decide where the eye you can see is pointing.)

As I've said, I've seen this with G3F as well.  It's almost like the pupil and iris on the right eye isn't really centered on wherever the (0,0,0) point of the eyeball is.

Either that, or "Look At" isn't calculating the rotations correctly.

I created a new scene and added the major Mage Tower Iray pieces to it, except for the individual props. I then did a test render. Much to my dismay (and surprise) Daz started consuming more and more RAM until it had taken every last drop I had available, and then it started rendering with my CPU, essentially making my PC unusable until the render was done, which took much longer than it should have because of this. I have a powerful i7 7600K with 32 GB RAM and an overclocked Geforce GTX 1080, so I wasn't really expecting this kind of issue. 

I've noticed this in other scenes too. Even a single Gen8 model can really cause a large amount of RAM usage, and it slows down the application considerably, especially when using the Iray preview. Not to the extent that Mage Tower Iray does, but still.

Is this normal? Can I do anything about it except turn everything in the scene that isn't visible to the current camera invisible? Even that seems to be a limited solution. I'm currently rendering a test image that features less than half of the model, and Daz is using 20.5 GB of RAM. I had to set the Daz executable's affinity to free up one of my CPUs just so I could write this post, and that slows down the render even further. 

I'd appreciate any help. 

My question relates to the best method for saving this item (Scene Subset, Prop, Smart Prop, etc). I have done some research, but I am still unsure of the best method to use. I see conflicting advice regarding "smart props", etc.

I want to use this "prop" in several different scenes with many different poses. One saving grace is the SA80 rifle can only be fired right-handed, so it only needs to be posed with the right hand holding the pistol grip.

I'd welcome some assistance on the best methods to both save this prop, and which type of pose presets I should use. Thanks.

But when I saved the character preset after that it took a whole lot of time - it seemed a copy of every single morph (not only the newly added morpheus ones) were saved as a separate instance and the preset appeared with the text "wardrobe" in the library, not "actor" like my other presets. And when I later installed an "abs" mod from sharecg, it wouldn't appear under parameters for the preset. 

Is it possible to save a G3F with G3M morphs as a character presets without this meaning you won't be able to use any morphs you install at a later date?

*.duf = whole characters (G3 Male), and also parts of characters, clothing, poses and packages of materials
*.duf also appears to change the color of things - I would have thought this was done with *.jpg, so does *.duf call other files?
*.dsb = character presets (Michael4)
*.ds = character surface texture?  also appears to be some of the clothing, and eyeball color (I would have thought this would be a *.jpg)
*.obj = 3D object file - hair,
*.pz2 = I am guessing this is a Poser file.  How can it be used in DAZ?
*.cr2 = hair, clothing, accessories, vehicles
*.png = I know this is a typical graphic file, but it seems to be used in DAZ to illustrate *.duf, *.dsb, etc
*.jpg = typical graphic file - seems to be used in DAZ for diffuse, bump and specular maps

Also, what does the SSS in some file names mean?

It seems that the DAZ Installer shoves things in corners and under the couch.  Am I better off starting from scratch and manually downloading and installing?

Thanks!

Nothing is ever easy on Daz

 Edit: Apparently I can't uninstall Daz Install Manager now either...  Could really use some help here...

Edit #2:  Created a slight work around for the update by making a new destination for the Install manager by simply adding a 2 at the end.  *shrugs*  It worked..  I dunno

iMac running OS 10.12

I also understand that one technique for "brightening" a scene that is too dark (e.g. inside scene lit through a window, etc.) is to increase the ISO level through the Tone Mapping panel.

My question is: Are these two equivalent from the point of view of getting IRAY to converge?  In other words, does doubling ISO setting have (more or less) the same effect on IRAY convergence that doubling the light levels by modifying the illumination sources?

How do I fix this?

My D drive has 220 GB left,  I used the install manager to uninstal everything. Did a total Pc maintenance

and found a folder in my documents that won't be deleted, where I had initially intended to keep Daz stuff and my downloaded 3rd party content.

I tried to re-install on drive D. and that seemed okay. but when I try to use Daz3d it says, "can not open file (x,y,z,) file does not exist.

So, any idea how I can fix this?

just updated Daz to newest

PS just updated

and...the bridge is out (PS bridge)

I tried to match up the path and the DIM says everything A-ok tried to start up the brige with a model active and

nothing happens.

am guessing I have the wrong path so and the PSCC is loaded in the default location

Help I need....I need the Default path for the daz 3d ps-bridge.

so if someone has the bridge working and PSCC is loaded in the default path...need a copy of that

does any of this make sense ?

peace

this is terrible, it's that right?

or everything is compatible between genesis 1/2/3 etc...?

also i need to buy everyday clothes, not fantasy, not magic, not from sci-fi, but REAL CLOTHES for mens & womans versions but im scare to buy because i dont know for wich version of genesis i have to buy those 3d models...

thanks

the FWSA Aiden Mat appears to be missing "fwsaaidentorsos_1002.jpeg" - the torso map that fits in the Top Coat Weight & Glossey Layered Weight.

Anyone have the file in their version of the mat?

The only fix is to perform an un-install of DAZ Studio and then re-install.  It will work for a few times but then will fail again.

Any clues?  Think I will download 32 bit and see what happens. 

Im using DAZ3d Windows 7

if you can see Image below, the tools in upper right corner will not display proper. If i select an item the proper dropdown window will appear, Yet my Zoom, Pan etc. will not as you see.

If there is anything else you need from my Speccy Screen Grab please ask,

thank you

Tried on the main page sorted by price from small to big — that content is also no. Tried to go to the page author - they found a discount on another product, but this is not present.

Please tell me how you can find the actual 100% discount? Just on the example of the article Above, about the discount which I learned only from my wishlist. I suspect that there are still many stocks that pass and learn about which is problematic because of the crooked working of the website DAZ.

How much should I get and will a 850w power suply be enough?
