G3 skin on G8 - white lines at arms and legs

mork — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 13:27:42 +0000

I have a problem with the skin of Cassiopeia for G3. When I apply her skin to G8 (unmorphed), there are white lines at the border Arm texture -> Torso texture and the same for the legs. Head/Face seems to be okay.
I don't have that with other skins I've tried, so I guess there's something with the Cassiopeia skin - but it looks okay on G3, which it was created for.
Not sure if this can be considered a bug, is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you :)

Projection issues with attached body mesh

bwise1701 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 17:50:37 +0000

I've been trying an experiment with an up-res'ed copy of the Gen3 Body mesh - just the body mesh - not the eyes teeth etc. Brought in in and used the transfer utility to make it a full body attachable wardrobe object. Basically it works but the mouth & eyelids don't quite project right - a little warbly on the eyelids (as if maybe they're projecting to the eyeballs? And the mouth is welded shut as if it's confused about which points upper and lower lips should project to. Is there a way to control what points project to where and to exclude surfaces from the projection?

Thanks

jontaylor99 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 18:41:55 +0000

Thanks.....

Will body morphs and facial expressions for G8F work on G3F?

Drogo Nazhur — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 11:20:51 +0000

The ad says that G8 is backward compatible to G3F. Does anyone know if Genesis 8 Female Expressions ( https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-expressions ) & Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs ( https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-body-morphs ) will work on G3F figures?

What's wrong with my gal?

PedroC — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 06:59:31 +0000

In Victoria 8's description page, the height is: 5 '10 "(179.3 cm) Same as Victoria 7. But Victoria 8 in my case, appears with a higher height.I uninstall and reinstall with DIM and with Dazz Connect but the result is the same.

Scaling, parameters and morphs appear to be correct. What may be happening?

Genesis 8 Default Figure Will Not Load

davedawriter — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 13:53:50 +0000

Is anyone else having this problem? The category thumbnails are missing, and when I double-click to load the figure, I get the attached error message. So far I've uninstalled and reinstalled Daz Studio. I thought I'd check here before starting a ticket.

Thanks!

How can I open Property Editor in DazStudio 4.9?

yohpun — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 00:51:11 +0000

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create my own figure morph.

I found the following article.

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/userguide/creating_content/modeling/tutorials/pbms/start

But I cannot find the Property Editor.

Could you please tell me where the Property Editor is?

Best Regards,

Yoji

Daz Downloads Very Slow Sat 17th June

Roboman28 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 23:45:11 +0000

I'm finding it very hard to download Daz products today. Normally I'd think the problem was home user end but the rest of the internet seems to be working fine and a speed test gave 75Mbps for downloads and 9Mbps for uploads which seems quite respectable. My Daz download speed is 23.5 kilobytes/sec which is useless and I keep getting breaks. So question is are there any connection problems a Daz end?

L.I.E. Not working with V8(?)

pfunkyfize — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 14:26:52 +0000

Hi all,

I can't seem to get a PNG with a transparent background to appear on V8 with the Layered Image editor (LIE). Anyone experiencing this and find a workaround? The PNG works on the pre-V8 characters, just can't seem to get it to appear on V8 skin....

Thanks!

Crashes have increased... and always when I am manually posing hands.

whitesentinix6355962 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 23:16:43 +0000

Since the new version went up, and Genesis 8 was released, Daz Studio has been crashing for more than it used to... and always when I am posing hands and fingers. Why would this be happening and what can be done to stop it?

Victoria 8 Makeup not changing?

elliebean — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 21:00:43 +0000

Hi guys.

Put V8 up on the screen, gave her eyebrows, tried to set a default makeup face for her - nothing happens. Doesn't change. I can change eye color, and if I go to default maps, she changes back to default - but none of her other faces will appear. Any ideas?

Suggested specs for workstation and other dumb questions

TreyM — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 13:42:27 +0000

Hi All

I am planning on getting a beefed up machine to speed up renders.

I am using a dinosaur i5 2520m with integrated graphics (lol, I know!), so doing iRay renders is something I just leave doing overnight.

I was wondering if the following specs should cut the mustard:

i5 4690k, NVidia GTX 1080 8GB, 16GB RAM?

Also,

Does the processor really matter if scenes are rendered by the GPU?
What would you expect typical render times to be with this GPU for a scene with 2 figures (let's say)? (For me it would take about 2-3 hours until the image is of sufficient quality via the i5)

Gen 8 "backwards compatibility"

colinmac2 — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 18:31:05 +0000

Only some parts of the body are backwards compatible. Gravureboxing's boxing gloves are a major part of my commission business, but when I try to fit them to the figure, they insist on placing ANYWHERE but where the hands are. Worse, once I "Fit To" the character, they hover above her arms and won't change, no matter what I do. I don't think I'll be getting a lot of use out of the G4 figures if this isn't fixed.

What are "dzneuraymgr.cpp(403)" and "cloud\dzcloudtasknotifier.cpp(178)" errors?

steve_kerry_uk2_64ed27c294 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 22:19:02 +0000

I'm getting some errors upon reinstalling the latest DS. These bits were copied from the log file immediately after opening DS, before attempting to load any content.

I can see I've got some reference to "Victoria and Michael Skeleton Textures" so I'll go hunting for those, but I have no idea about the rest of it.

Anyone got any suggestions on what is causing this, and more importantly how to fix it?

I installed the update, but no Genesis 8 starter essentials.

Those Things — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 20:57:43 +0000

I've installed the update, and nothing. I uninstalled Daz Studio entirely, and reinstalled. Still no Genesis 8. Can anyone help?

ETA: Ignore this post. Got it sorted. Didn't notice them hiding down in Download Manager's list of files.

Measure Metrics not included for G8 / V8?

gishzida — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 00:18:37 +0000

Does measure metrics work with G8 / V8?

There is no measure metrics folder for G8 / V8 after install nordoes there appear to be any PBMs either in G8 or V8 that can be used as the perameters for measure metrics. Is there somehing wrong with G8 / V8 or is it measure metrics?

My measure metrics began to act odd after the latest DS update -- rather than changing the meaured value when you change the meauring unit to reflect the new measuring unit you have to check then unchck the metric to be measured before the correct unit value will display.

Rendering

griches360 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 14:56:15 +0000

Since loading V8 and the other stuff includin g downloading Daz 4.9 again, nothing is redering, starts out ok but when it finishes I just get a white infill of the figure. This also happens on an old file if I upload, alter and render again.

Lighting the window

hapciupalit — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 17:28:52 +0000

Hi there guys. I'm trying to render a night scene in the yard of this house

https://www.daz3d.com/mansion-backyard

What I want to achieve is having a few panes of the house having the light on effect like you see in this picture.

I added the emissives shader on the panes but I was wonderig if you know if there is a way to select only some of the panes.

Here is a photo of what I selected to put the shaders.

Thank you

Nothing working!!

Daventaki — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 07:47:21 +0000

I recently installed Daz Studio 4.9, I have not done may renders over the last couple of years and now trying to get back into it. Anyhow everything worked great installed and played around with the tutorials and new Genesis 8. Everything was working fine.

Last night I decided to buy Vic 8 Pro Bundle no issues even created a quick picture and let it render, just playing around. Then I got to looking and realized it did not download the other content with the pro bundle so I went through and let them download and install while I was watching tv. Now when I open Daz Studio I get the below screen shot and it says that the content does not exist. I tried to uninstall/reinstall Studio and then tried the same with the content when that did not work.

Daz 3d Bridge

griches360 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 09:45:26 +0000

I am having trouble installing Daz 3D Bridge. error says that it can't find installation path which is set to my Adobe CC 2017 program. And in installation manager what is the default path for 64bit installation in settings as mine is set to Adobe CC 2017 and I don't think this is right. Thanks

Anyone else problems with 4.9.4 version?

paul_ae567ab9 — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 15:30:34 +0000

I downloaded the new 4.9.4 version and have issues already.

1) Double click no longer seems to work to select a joint in model. Used to click upper arm for instance and in posing have option to twist, bend etc. Now the double click while it highlights that joint is not producing those pose options as they did in prior version.

( is there a setting that needs to be changed in the new version to get that back? )

2) Did a test render of a plain single actor using default settings and the resulting image is blank?

Thankfully I have copy of the prior version I can install but this is a pain!

Powerpose - Facial expressions (SOLVED)

reserv888 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 12:14:48 +0000

In the demo movie for G8 they use a version of PowerPose that has a lot more locations in the face to manipulate than I have.

Have i missed something? Is there another product I have to buy? If so, which one?

did Daz take back their free stuff back? .. pro just gone

Transfer Utility and Genesis 8 Problem

Jim_1831252 — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 08:54:25 +0000

I have finished up a quick dress for Victoria 8, but I'm having trouble with the transfer utility when I go to rig. As you can see from the first image, the mesh is a reasonable fit on import, but after I use the transfer utility the dress "floats". I have used the utility many times for fitting items to G/2/3, but I am stumped with this problem. Am I missing something, or is this a bug? To me it seems the transfer utility thinks Victoria 8 is much taller than she is. Could this be an issue with the template transfer utility is using?

Daz suddenly doesn't see my Titan X anymore - help!

junkbox124 — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 21:30:01 +0000

I'm running Daz4.8 and have been rendering on my Titan X while using my GTX580 for my regular display GPU for over a year now. Suddenly it appears as though it lost the ability to see my Titan anymore and it is defaulting back to CPU rendering. I've rebooted multiple times and as far as Windows 7 is saying under the Device Manager the Titan is functioning properly.

I'm seeing this in the log file which seems to be referencing that the GPU I have it set at is no longer available to DAZ.

(WARNING: dzneuraymgr.cpp(261): Iray WARNING - module:category(IRAY:RENDER): 1.0 IRAY rend warn : There is no GPU available to the iray renderer.)

Any help to get this issue resolved?

Generation 3 autofit clones for Genesis 2 males and females?

beregar — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 18:09:28 +0000

I'm a bit behind and just transitioned to using Genesis 2 males and females. I have pretty huge M3 and V3 library but I just noticed that there appears to be no autofit clones for previous generations. Does anyone know if there's actually a product available that adds them or do I have to go back to original Genesis?

Thanks!
