Since this is my first attempt at making a body suit, would anyone have any suggestions for me?  I'm planning on breaking it up into four overall pieces, with the upper torso being one, the arms being another, the pants and then the skirt.  Various additions would go over the catsuit itself, increasing its armored capabilities.  I believe I can figure out the main cat suit itself, but the skirt is going to be an issue for me, mainly due to lack of experience.  Below is what I have currently modeled.  

edit: It's actually sluggish moving the camera around with an empty scene when the viewport is in iRay mode.

Thanking you in advance. 

I think the files I downloaded are missing files or something. The power loader doesn't seem to be working either. So can I get some assistance, please? ^^;

EDIT: I got it figured out; disregard. Sorry.

CoolerMaster N400 ATX Case

Gigabyte GA-H170M-DS3H MB

Intel Liquid Cooler

I7-7700K Processor

8GB Samsung DDR4-2400

Hynix 250GB SSD

Lite-On 24X SATA DVDRW

GTX 1080 TI FOUNDERS 11GB

Cougar 700 Watt ATX PSU 

So I tought, just like on my setup at home, start DAZ Studio using a VNC connection first... however, despite open ports in the firewall and security group, I can't get a working VNC connection. I've also tried Teamviewer, but that doesn't seem to work either. I've even tried to put a shortcut to DS into the Startup folder, but I get the same OpenGL error as starting it manually.

So my question is: can DAZ Studio be started any other way? Or can the OpenGL error be suppresed somehow?

I've been asked to do a frizzy hair render like the attached photo. As you already know this isn't possible with the usual hairs in the store because these hairs are divided into big clumps/groups while the photo shows individual fine strands flying about.

i know LAMH and Garibaldi are capable of this but they take long to learn. Might there be any chance a ready product that allows morphing of the individual strands?

Does it make any sense to try and use some of the files i downloaded 4 years ago?  I'm opening the general question about backward compatibility within the Daz product line.  I know they are constantly improving the product and features (3 major releases in 4 years).  Tom tells me that there are issues about cross compatibility with new actors and some older objects.   Suggestions?

I bought Stonemasons Winter Kingdom and Winter Terrain. There are now ground textures in those downloads, has something gone wrong or have I misunderstood what was included in the package?

Thanks for any help,

Cheers,

I've just finished rendering a 10 second animation in Daz Studio 4.9 (my first) on a Mac. All went well and I have a sequence of 250 png files. Does anybody know of any (free) way to import the image sequence and export them as a mov file?

Thanks for any help,

Dale

Apologies for posting, have solved with DaVinci Resolve.

Any ideas anyone?

Is anyone else having this problem? I am not happy about this... I don't HAVE to use that prop, but really... why is is doing this?

Tried the Support/Report a bug link... didn't work

Daz opens up just fine. I can navigate around the viewport without any latency issues. In my render settings, both of my GTX 1080s are recognised and on the NVidia control panel, SLI is definitely in effect and its set to max performance. But here's the thing:

So I opened up some of my more complex scenes with multiple human figures (that would have taken well over 12 hours to render on my old rig with my GTX 760) and attempt to render with Iray. It goes on for a few minutes before my entire computer crashes, forcing it to restart. I opened up Task Manager upon start-up and observed the performance levels of Daz with only two figures in a scene and an HDR Environment Map. Operates below 10% of CPU without rendering. But as soon as I render into a window, CPU climbs up to around 100% and ultimately fluctuates around 98%. I checked temperature readings and everything is safely within the set parameters, and I swear my case is as cold as a fridgerator. I tried deselecting CPU from the Render Settings but then Iray doesn't render at all, instead giving me a black screen and a "completed" render.

Whenever I do manage to keep a render sustained, it still feels slow. There's an improvement from my GTX 760, but it's no where near the speed that I was expecting to get from 2x 1080 GTX.

Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone for your time, consideration, and patience.

I re-read a few times the Sale image and I can't seem to find what's wrong... These products were in that page...

Am I missing some kind of information about the sale? :/ 

Installed new purchases (characters, props, script, plugin) and now I am no longer capable of using camera controls in viewport. Whether I click the cube or the icons beside it, the camera (predefined views and default) shudders erratically all over. Under the Parameters tab, the default camera controls are functional. What I notice is that when I touch those viewpoint controls, the Z-rotate is the only thing that remains '0' while all -translate and X/Y-rotate fluctuate madly.

Uninstalled all new purchases. No change. I honestly thought it would have been Iray Light Manager Pro or perhaps entering the key for Animate2, but neither were the culprit.

Adding a figure, its viewport tools work fine (such as ActivePose and Universal Tool). Also, the default camera's viewport tools (using Univeral Tool).

I docked view controls. It takes away the cube, and the rotate/pan/zoom/bank icons are functional, but VERY limited (like, your camera hits a stop-bumper or something). So, with this in mind, I went and reverted back to Cube View Controls and then selected to Hide Camera Cube. The icons still cause the camera to become erratic. No luck with theorizing.

Any suggestions? I'm at a standstill.

Thanks in advance for all your replies.

C - Color
F - Float
N - Normal
P - Point
V - Vector
S - U coordinate, i.e., horizontal
T - V coordinate, i.e., vertical

as stated in the documentation. I ahve also figured that V in the User Parametters Brick is essentially an auto add feature.
MT = the output to the MDL Surface Material.

I am having issues with some additional nodes namelt those labled F2. In most cases these tend to be translate and scale nodes from the custom mdl provided by NVidea but when I attempt to attach them to the user parameter node they do nothing. I get the marquee that would make me assume it can connect, but it doesn't.

So I am at a loss.

I've created some custom actions in daz 4.9, now i want to remove them but i don't know how.

Can somebody help me out here.

Thanks in advance!

But, where are the updates??

I downloaded the Download Manager hoping that's how to get to updates but I IT WON'T INSTALL.  It can't create folders, etc. in the applications folder.

Please help. I am on MacOS 10.11.6

Thank you!

Is there a command in Daz script that simply aborts a script?  Something named like exit(), return, abort()?

The question is very simple: What do I need to convert M4 morph/characters so that they can be injected properly inside a Genesis 2 or 3 container?

I've been reading products descriptions and then all the plug-in that are required and I'm getting an headache, so can someone please simply summarize to me what the heck do I need? :D

I'm trying to learn the priciples of adding Bones and Joints to an existing model. The Video, from 2011 and on the Studio 4 program I'm following, has got me as far as the Poly Group Editor.

I've looked in the Tools List, and in the Tools Settings, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is this because things have moved on, and it is done completely differently, or has it just got another name now?

Or is it staring me in the face and I just can't see it for looking?

Hope someone can help, because I'm stuck at the moment.

Cheers Gray
