-Create new primitve, edit, object, geometery, convert to sub-d
-Select the object, go to surfaces tab, select the object 
-Select Rockshader in content, choose !rock shader base. (I can see the color of the frame change slightly)

I've tried following what's in the help file: http://docs.daz3d.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/public/read_me/index/18994/18994_aoa_rock_shader_user_guide.pdf

Then when I render, I get this: 

Thanks.
 

I am using both for a series of renders for a story but the color options for Updo don't match the Jerry Hair close enough. I tried through the surfaces tab to use the Jerry Hair color jpg on the updo hair but that didnt seem to work. I see there are some hair shader products, but thought perhaps there was a ninja trick... I am trying to match the updo hair to Jerry Hair MDL Color 07. 

any suggestions/tricks would be most appreciated! thanks

Does anyone here have this product and notice that they can't select the 'Grate' material over the pit to change its properties?

https://www.daz3d.com/the-dark-corner-of-the-dungeon

I opened the PP2 in a text editor and saw that a material for 'grate' exists but I don't see it in the Surfaces tab for the prop. This is the surface detailed in the PP2 file:

	material grate
		{
		KdColor 0.980392 0.980392 0.980392 1 
		KaColor 0 0 0 1 
		KsColor 0.839216 0.839216 0.839216 1 
		TextureColor 0.8 0.8 0.8 1 
		NsExponent 10 
		tMin 0 
		tMax 0 
		tExpo 0 
		bumpStrength 1 
		ksIgnoreTexture 0 
		reflectThruLights 0 
		reflectThruKd 0 
		textureMap ":Stonemason:Dungeon:DDS_Iron.jpg"
 				0 0 
		bumpMap ":Stonemason:Dungeon:DDS_IronBUM.jpg"
 				0 0 
		reflectionMap NO_MAP
		transparencyMap NO_MAP
		ReflectionColor 1 1 1 0 
		reflectionStrength 1 
		}	

Anybody have a workaround to get the surface to show up? I tried the geometry editor too and it doesn't seem selectable-
Thanks!

I have submitted a help ticket but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.  I have a 980Ti card with 6 GB of video memory.  When I attempt to render a scene with two Genesis3 figures and one or two pieces of clothing (in DazStudio 4.8), the render crashes and produces an error message -- something along the lines of "violation_exception at memory address XXXXXXXX".  From the log report everything seems to load okay, but before it actually renders an image it crashes.

If I hide one figure or one piece of clothing, the scene renders just fine.  So I am thinking that somehow I'm exceeding my video memory size.  Would this cause a crash?  If this is true then how can a couple dozen 4 MB texture maps fill up 6GB video RAM.  Any suggestions?

I have my rendering preference set for my video card.  I do have 32 GB of RAM on my motherboard but haven't tried to use my CPU (i7 - 6 cores) for rendering.

Thanks.

I posted on the Nvidia support forum a month ago and not a single response so I guess their forum is useless.

If someone here has a clue I will post the APPCRASH details. I cannot make any sense of those myself.

If no one replies or has an idea I'm not going to waste time posting a lot of extended info here.

I will offer the basics:

I have totally removed and reinstalled Nvidia drivers as well. No help.

I've managed to corrupt the way Daz handles the mesh on G2F which is now my most used figure.  I was trying to create a morph and somehow managed to over-write the base shape that G2F loads with.  I have by zero-ing the figure and saving in a number of ways managed to get it to load the default shape again - however checking the parameters the morphs dials are still set to the figure I was trying to create.  Everytime I now try and apply a morph the face "collapses" - the eye region moves forward a by 1 or 2 on the Z axis, the eyelids become arched, pupils mis-shape and the lacrimals distort.  The lips also mishape and become dis-jointed from the chin region and over-lap+poke through. But it also loads it as a scene, over-writing the camera and backdrop settings rather than loading a figure on it's own.  No other figures are effected, so I've obviously just corrupted the figure not the program and this is pretty impressive user error.

I have tried the following steps to resolve this but have been unsuccessful so far - any suggestions? - (I am guessing that it is corruption in the data folder somewhere but lack of experience in that foler and the size of it leaves my a bit stumped as I can't identify which folder needs deleting/removing):

1.  Removed the Genesis 2 Female folders that I have identified from the data folders in the Connect library, the Daz3D library and as DS had created a data folder under my own subfolder from where I had created some new models and been telling it to save to from there too.

2. Also removed the G2F data folders from and folders in these named as DAZ3D, DAZ or DAZ 3D ...

Those steps have improved it slightly but not fixed it (I moved the folders outside of the DS tree incase they needed putting back, nothing has been deleted yet unless it was labelled as the morph I tried to create).  However all of the morphs I'd previously created still exist in the Morphs root parameter folder of the figure so I'm missing something somewhere ....  One other factor here is that the previous morphs were all done by importing from V4 or G1 to G2F ... this new one was trying to create a G2F shape to a G2F morph so was done differently to all the others.

3. Reinstalled all the Genesis 2 Female packages and Victoria 6 packages ... this has made no difference.

There is one other minor user-created complication ... I can't at present uninstall the figure ... As I never thought I'd be removing it I installed it without letting Windows create an uninstaller to keep the Windows registry smaller (although running the install again would obviously create this - but I'm guessing that as I told it to over-write the existing files and the corruption remains, it is something that is feeding in to it rather than the figure itself).  So where does DS store these settings so that I can delete that folder (or files in it) to stop it?  If I have to uninstall and re-install the figure, what happens to the plug-ins such as Shape? Will they need re-installing or will DAZ simply pick them up from their own data folders? 

Thanks in advance.

I am using the current Daz3d Studio 4.9.

Thank You

Recently swapped out to a whole new PC.  Windows 10 with the latest version of Daz.  All old content and old saved scenes are showing up in the Content Library ... neither in the default unassigned nor, default saved files.  However, any newly saved scenes or presets are not showing up.  The saved location is a mapped directory.  The files are saved and can be re-loaded but even after a 'Scan known directories for files' with the saved location listed... nothing.  It's like Daz isn't recognizing it's own files that it just saved.  I've seen discussions about port issues but don't know if they apply here as I've tried accessing the drive (external hdd) from two different usb devices (one usb2 and another usb3). 

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

might be there is a topic about this issue already but I couldn't find...

So, the question is: how I can get scale dials (scale x, scale y and scale z) for each bodypart in Genesis 3 figures? For example we have torso length dial which can elongate the whole torso. But what if I would like to elongate only the waist without elongate the chest and hip? In the old V4 and M4 figures we had scale dials or each and every bodypart so we could change their ratios as our wish...

Thanks for the help

I have a gut feeling that the issue lies somewhere in the CR2 file, but I have no idea where to look for it. Any thoughts?

Wet Face Fail. OK, I created a Geoshell & turned off all the shell portions except the face & lips, added the UeberiRay Water Shader, added a Surfaces Cutout Opacity water droplet mask and adjusted the surfaces perameters as outline in this tutorial

http://thinkdrawart.com/how-to-get-wet-skin-in-iray

and 10 hours later she looks like the tinman after being oiled.

What's wrong here? My cutout opacity map maybe (it was a freebie found via a google search)?

Thanks
