I know I'm not right here at the Hexagon corner, but I didn't found any place DAT DAZ3d for other modellingprograms - so I have to ask here for the Export from Genesis 3 Female out of DAZ Studio into CINEMA R18. Perhaps somebody could help with my problems:

I have a big problem ... I have z.Zt. Cinema R18 and for the import or import Riptide Pro ... but I would now like to use the Genesis 3 Female (which I have already prepared in the DAZ Studio with another shader etc.) in Cinema for the modeling.
For the export of the OBJ from the DAZ studio gives the settings of the used modeling program (as specified by DS) Cinema 1 unit = 1m, then Scale automatically jumps to 1% (instead of 100%?) And I can not under the individual settings More Write Material Library. I do not know why? See please follow. Screen: Gn3F_OBJ_Cinema.jpg

If I then load the Genesis 3 Female with Riptide Pro in Cinema, then the Genesis 3 Female is either tiny or huge in my working window (depending on how high I enter the import scaling factor in Riptide Pro). I've had an import scaling factor of 1000 for the V4 (brown) from Poser. In order to determine if I have the right size of the Genesis 3 Female figure for modeling, I've compared my already scaled V4 (in brown) in the modeling Cinema (which I had previously used for modeling in Cinema) and I can see that - no matter what size I use as Riptide scaling factor for the Gn3F OBJ for Cinema - this Gn3F-OBJ can not be the right size ... See below. Screen: Cinema_Import_Gn3F_OBJ.jpg

But how do I get the right import size of the Genesis 3 Female for Cinema? If I am not the right size of the OBJ for Cinema R 18 (modeling program), then the whole is no longer correct and the default size in the DAZ Studio seems not to be correct or dependent on the import scale for Cinema.

What is the possibility to find out? Would be nice if someone would know advice.
Or is perhaps the size of the import in Cinema for the modeling (and subsequent use in the DAZ Studio) completely irrelevant?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

This is Christina Hair on Hailey.  So Genesis 2 Female Hair on a Genesis 2 Female.  Yet it doesn't seem to fit properly.

In the image, if you look closely at the parting, you can actually see the curve of her bald head underneath the hair.

Why is this?  What can I do to fix this, as I really like the way Christina hair looks, just at the moment it looks crap.

I have 2 scenes with 25 characters each (because 1 scene with 50 characters got very klunky). Each character has 3 pieces of clothing, each one figures themselves so that the collision technology can solve for different body shapes and sizes and different poses.

But it is a real overhead and I need to convert these 50 characters-and-clothing into 3000 characters to populate a large auditorium.

I will be "instancing" the 50 characters to make the 3000. But before that, to cut down the klunk, I'd hoped to convert various iterations and poses of the characters into props and maybe even heavily decimate them [for some scenes, they are distant but for some an individual may be up close - so decimation makes sence for some shots].

The "Joint Editor/Edit/Convert Figure to Prop" appears to only work on one figure at a time. [And there appears to be a bug that if you convert the root figure then the clothing figures are deleted - oh my!].

Does anyone have any hints or tips on how to do multi-conversions and how to schedule the process so the clothes convert before the figure so as to avoid unwanted nakedness?

Many thinks in advance for any suggestions or solutions.

Cheers,

I've got an animated scene where I'm attempting to add an image sequence (from a video already converted to .jpg files) to a surface (TV screen) and I've followed the brief steps taken in the short video  but it only adds the first .jpg which does not animate, I've got 2 tabs under Utilities that have in tab 1 (animated textures pro, preview off, preview on, refresh animated properties), and tab 2-resources with (animate textures, getanimated textures) that don't seem to do anything when double clicked. 

The read me has no dedicated .pdf user's guide and there is only the one video on use that isn't answering the basics like how to make this script work. 

I'm loading my scene, 900 frames, there's TV set a camera is making a dolly move towards, I have the screen selected in surfaces, I add the 0000.jpg file under image layer editor using the alpha channel and what I get is that single image that stays on the screen for the entire 900 frames, no movement even though the "point to" folder contains the video for the TV sequenced out to 900 frames as well. 

Has anyone else figured out how to use this plug in or can point me in the right direction for application? I've exhausted the search terms here, google, youtube, etc....a lot on the first plug in, nada on this script. 

So say that I've created a geoshell for a prop of some sort. How do I save that shell so that it hooks up with the prop? Do I have to save the prop and shell in one package? And if so, how?

I'm not planning to sell or give away the kitbashed asset.  Just use it for creating renders.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

1. Saving as Pose preset (activating just Pose controls) doesn't save individual finger and joint level rotataions/bends/side to sides, only the hand level pose controls.

2. Symmetry doesn't work for mirroring to opposite site. I'm aware that baking the controls is one option, but then the user loses all editability, so this is not a solution for distribution or future editing

Any assistance would be appreciated.

DAZStudio.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION in module "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\nvoglv64.DLL" at 0033:000000006636035D, DrvPresentBuffers()+36365 byte(s)

Below are three renders that I waited hours for. The first I created using HI-Key Studio preset lighting, and D-Render Studio HIGH. The other two I created using basic distant lights, and D-Render Studio High. 

I've changed the forehead depth and I've also tried changing the volume for the top and it still looks awful.

Please see the attachment - I'm only showing the hairline, as that is where the issue is.  

Has anyone else had this issue, and what can I do to make it look better?

Loading the Actor version works without problems.

I purchased the Kerry Bundle which included Rasta Tails Hair and the Kerry HD character. I figured adding the character, adding the base hair, and Fitting the hair to the character should just work.

But, I get a visible scalp that's the color of the hair. If I do an Iray render, I get this in my rendered image as well.

In the past when this happened, I usually just played with the Scale of the hair object, and I'd eventually get the scalp part small enough it would go into the characters head and be effectively invisible. But, particularly for this hair style, the corn rows start to look irregular if I try this trick. I tried the adjustments that came with Rasta hair, and I end up with the same problem - the corn rows start looking irregular; I guess I could get there with an hour of work, basically matching the transforms to the head shape.

I'm posting because this is a more general question about the hair/scalp band that is sometimes visible. I saw someone else had this problem, but it was only in their renders and it was because of the way their lights were set up. Mine occurs in the VIEWPORT, so light isn't an issue (BTW, I have a single Distant light).

I want to use mocap files from this website (https://mocaponline.com/), is there a solution to adapt movements from those libraries to Daz genesis 2 & 3 in Daz Studio ?
What is the best format to buy (FBX, UE4, Unity, Cry or BIP ?) & what is the best process/software to do the job ?

If you  have any tutorial or tips let me know.

Best regards

Eric

I can 'recover' the base figure by zeroing out the figure, or going into the shaping tab and setting all Dionne-morph dials to '0'.

Saving as a character preset doesn't "replace" the base figure so that next time I select the G2F figure, it's back to the corrupted figure again.

My thought is that I'll have to uninstall the Genesis 2 Starter Essentionals, re-download the package and install it again.  (Un install from DIM; remove the associated files from my computer; download a fresh package from DAZ; reinstall with DIM).

Any ideas on an 'easier' way?

THanks!

Question 2 In the studio Paris, how can I replace the image on one of the provided paintings with pictures of my own?

Question 3 How can I make a mirror reflect the image standing in front of it?

Question 4 How can I make one of the short dresses longer?

Please advise.

Where is the data before that? Is it storing it all in RAM? Is it writing transition png's in a hidden cache/temp folder?

Lux writes the file to the drive and keeps updating..if your computer crashes while rendering, you still have a file to whatver point it got to....is there such a thing with IRAY which is, shall we say...a bit crashy?

Hi,

as you can see, everything is fine on the window reflection except the eye lashes. And I don't know what happened there. I use the Keira HD Skin on Vic7 Model. Anyone could help me please?

It's Vascularity HD.  In 3DDelight the veins are visible. but in Iray They are not. Why?

I understand that 3Delight is CPU and not GPU dependent; im interested to know what computer specs is best to make fast 3Delight renders (processor, RAM, etc).

some say that a 6-core processor would do no change cos 3Delight on DAZ is limited to 4 cores only, is that true?

under 'optimal' computer specs - awesome processors and such, how long would a HD (say 1920x1080) render take, assuming render settings are at their default?

Sorry if this seems a stupid question but my knowledge of the different graphics cards is limited.
