Do you get where I'm going? Need more info?

Thank you!

System: Win 7, 64 bit.

I have run the DSON exe and directedd it to put its files where my Poser.exe resides.

I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qYh4JcEPhw  "How to Install DSON and Load Genesis 2 Into Poser "

I have a separate directory for Daz specific content under Public Documents, as the  YouTube video above suggests.

Say:  C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\DazDsonContent\RuntimeDazDSON\Runtime

With Daz files they usually come:  Content\Runtime, with several files at the  same  level as Content, typically dsx. There are also typically files at the same level as 'Runtime', but in Poser I don't want a 'Content' folder above my Runtime so right now I am ignoring the dsx files that come at the same level as 'Content'.

I can see the RuntimeDazDSON runtime directory in Poser, but all the files have (0) for number of items in it.

What am I doing wrong? 

(1) Even though it says it has a DSON intaller, does 'bleachers' have a chance of working in Poser?  It says it is for Daz 4.9; I am confused because it also says it has the DSON installer which I thought was only for use with Poser. I thought this might work because they are objects and props, though I was expecting possible difficulties with textures and shaders.

(2) Is there something I need to run every time I add something to get Poser to see the Content?

(3) Do I need the dsx files at the same level as 'Content'

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

if I merge it into a scene it loses some morphs and gets an odd pose that  used a while back even though I zeroed the pose....it even does this with a scene with just one camera. If the scene is empty merge works fine. 

if I merge some scene files into this file the furniture moves to zero....but some scenes that do not use groups work ok.

i tried saving out subsets and character settings to try and correct the issue post merge but nothing happens...or it freezes.

i guess as long as I just merge scenes into this character file I could muddle along but I can't help thinking it's going to screw up some time in the future.

i was just wondering if anyone had a similar experience and what they did to fix it ....I guess file merge and file load are somehow technically out of whack with each other.

 I noticed that in Render-Settings>Iray>Sun Dial Set.duf there is no png file shown. It only shows a white frame with a white triangle with a black exclamation mark in the center, which I usually assume means that the png file is missing or not in the right place...but I didn't see any sun dial set.png anywhere in my files...

Is this not meant to have a png associated with it, or is it and I can't find mine? Thanks for your help and your time!

Often there are products in the freebie list that are texture sets. Usually I don't own the required mesh product. Is there a filter in DAZ Studio Content Library that allows my to filter only texture sets that I don't own the required mesh product for? Then I can go back and buy those mesh products at my convenience.

Now when ever I load a fresh Genesis 3 into my scene it loads AS that character.

If I load an old scene. It loads everything into the scene PLUS applies all the morphs my character I just saved was using.

If I delete the Actor preset, It dont fix the issue...

Thank you for reading.

I try to use Morph Loader Pro for creating body part squish.

I created an own character and then use the character for a base to creating squish morph.

I loaded morph successfully.

But, It applies whole body morph.

I'd like to apply the morph only on the specific body part.

How should I do?

Thank you for your help.

Attach files.

1. My character (normal).
2. Applied the morph 100% (Applied my character whole body morph).
3. Morph which I created.

Anyone know how to safely remove the UV sets?

What version is on the right?

Any ideas??

I've been creating morphs for Swidhelm's Skywyrm Bull and am having some difficulties with one particular morph.

Using Zbrush via the GoZ plugin, I have lengthened the neck of Swidhelm's Skywyrm Bull. Once back in DS [4.9.4.117 64-bit], the neck lenghten morph works great; until I try to close the dragon's mouth. Despite the limits being set (as per default), the jaw closes for far as to emerge out of the top of the head!

I've been watching "Transforming the Daz Dragon 3 with Zbrush" tutorial set (which is fantastic btw - ) and the workflow shows, using the Joint Editor; right click on any of the bones - Edit > Adjust Rigging to Shape; but a dialogue box [Adjust Rig to Shape] is them meant to pop up so that you can make any changes to the settings, click Accept, wait a few seconds for DS to process the request and presto! The rigging has been adjusted accordingly.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, the dialogue box doesn't pop up and I haven't a clue as to what to do next.

FYI; I can manually close the mouth using the slider and not slide it all the way (only until the mouth is closed properly) but I want to know what I am doing wrong or what I am missing - and I dare say that this problem will also affect posing the dragon in many other body parts other than the lower jaw.

In case anyone is wondering why I am working on a different model than what is used in the tutorial; you use what you've got and the content applies to morphing in general; not just the Daz Dragon 3....

Any help, suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought this item. I installed. I click in "SY Zero DeCrackifier" and i don't find the parameter. In the search bar, i wrote "SY", "hip", "DeCrackifier" but i find nothing. I work with Genesis 3 Male :

Thanks for help.

I reimported all the content from a backup taken last night but now Daz can't find the texture files.

The file structure and content is exactly the same on the backup (even the name of the SDD) so it shouldn't be an issue of Daz looking in the wrong place for the information. And all my stuff from Rendo is working perfectly with no missing texture problems - it's got it's own folder but still on the same SSD with the Daz content.

When I look in the texture folder (where it says things are missing) it's all there where I'd expect them to be.

Smart content is also missing all thumbnail imagery except for the very top level (character image on the folder is visible, but figure/mats/etc within the folder all show the warning exclamation mark).

I'm confused about what has gone wrong because I moved everything to a different SSD once before and had no problems. This isn't even a different SSD and it's all gone wrong.

(Changed the title to add Studio as Daz is the name of the company; Studio is the name of the program.)

How can I make cloth half-strip in DAZ, trousers or skirt to the thigh ,and so on .

I have heard that one way to do that is ---- use Marvelous Designer. transport DAZ cloth into MD, make cloth half-strip in MD , and transport it back into DAZ

Is it the best way for the newbies like me ?

Rendering with CPU or 3Delight seems to work fine. I'm using DazStudio 4.9.1.30. 

Thank you

edit: It still works correctly in the beta.

To be more specific, I want to return an acknowledgment from Blender when something has been completed, but I can't find anything in the DS SDK that would listen to the Blender process. Is there a function that allows me to do this?

Alternatively, I could get around this by checking if the Blender process is running, and quit Blender each time something has finished, but that seems very inefficient.

This is something new.  I've been using G3M for years without any difficulty.  I've attached a render.  I've also submitted a help ticket.  Just interested if anyone else is seeing this or might be able to offer any suggestions.

I've never really used a dome in my pictures, because I never understood how to work with it in Daz properly.

In other 3D Programs, I can add several maps to my scene to be used as reflection, lightmap or background. I Daz it seems I can only use a single map which I can choose to show in the background or not, but it appears that it alwas serves as light source and reflection. So my question is: is it possible to use the dome only for reflection without any light coming from it? If so, than how?

I dont use it any longer, is there a safe way to remove it from Studio and if you do does it have any side effects?

i exported daz content (.dae format) with default settings(all morphs datas checked, except combine morphs option) and imported into blender program. models and armatures loaded properly but i couldnt find any morphs in there.  arent they supposed to be shape keys in blender? or blender itself wont read morph data in collada even in generic form?
