Thanks, Cheet.

I can usually find the hair in my content manager without the help of the search thing.

But if the hair has materials, the vendor could have put them any old random place. And as I acquire more assets, it takes ever longer to wade through every node of the database structure searching for it.

So I'd like to search for the texture by the exact name of the file, such as "BadAssHairTextureNumber_1.jpg"

Can the content manager search function show me where that texture file is in the database structure?

And, if so, how?

The content manager search feature is a big mystery to me. Even after reading several discussions about it.

Eg,, now I change genesis3 size, by HeightMorph . which have ERC to change genesis head rig center point and end point location to much with current morphed shape.

then  head node of Hair ,   it center point and end points will follow current genesis3 head node position. It is reasonable.  But Is there way to get those current node cenrter and end points position delta, about figure which fit to and changed by Actor morph,  as actuall parameter value, in daz studio?

I think, when figure (hair or clothing) fit to another figure, and morph change Actor rig center points, end points,  follower (hair) rig center point value seems not change as visuall value in parameter tab.  (though I can clear see, hair head node center point ,end point follow the genesis head rig,  anc change location,,)

But in parameter tab,  it seems keep default value.  then is there way to get those node (rig) position delta value which deformed another figure morph with  fit to?  

Of course I can check the delta value to see  how head node center point change with morphs, by  parameter of genesis3 ,  but it is not so useful, when I need to set ERC with those delta value  of current  Follower figures.

eg I hope to set morph for ghost bones child of head node of hair, then I hope to set ERC with current head rig center point, and end point, then auto move those ghost bone too.  without it,, hear ghost bone not follow current head node position. 

I am not too kee on the proportions of the BRUTE X++ body proportions so was hoping there would be some mention that all body parts are dialed to adjust/change body part proportions as needed. I would need a dial to enlage the hed, reduce the size of those huge feet and hands right out of the box without tearing the mesh or flipping th works out much.

Because I have wound up with figures that do not allow for this because of the way the meshes are built before i plunk the cash down wante dto clarify me needs.

Does anyone here use or have the BRUTE X figure who knows what is or is not possible with it?

Also, I can not for the life of me find any way of contacting the content artist here to ask direct questions. Is ther some way i am missing to do this? All the other sites I go to there is that option which is easily found except here....so far!   :)

and secondly and more importantly how do I solve an issue where in the mouse cursor dissappears while in the daz3d window, for some reason I can click on tabs and such but I can not see the cursor anywhere on the window and yet it appears while off of the window

any help is welcomed

Any way to hide items from the scene tab/pane without deleting them from the scene?

There's a workaround, which is to group items together, but that too, can be problematic..

Thanks

I have GIMP that I've used mainly for placing tatts on skin textures and for generating normal maps....but I haven't attempted to build a trans map which is what I probably need .....correct?

Thanks!

The Dream Home Basement lists lights in its readme file but after checking it is not in the download file(DS)?

Re-downloaded but still not there, am I doing something wrong?

I'd like to make a FAVORITE POSES area in poses...and be able to move products in and out of there..

A Favorite Props etc...

-------

A second choice would be my own FAVORITES Main Menu and have those selected products sort under that heading.....

Any ideas about the best way to approach this idea...?

And I had this once and somehow Daz Connect (or me) reset something (I think I was trying to solve a different problem or it was related to too many items in Lost and Found....

It erased all my sub-menus....

So I'm back for another try.

I'm experiencing some - so far unexplained - difficulties. I'm sure it just means something got inadvertently turned off, problem is I don't know how to turn it back on.

For a while how I was busy trying to categorize content so I can more easily find the expansons for hair, clothing etc. But then I let it rest for a while (too busy with actual work) and in between upgraded to 4.9 pro (now the program take 5 minutes to start thank you very much).

I tried to get back to categorizing content the other day, but it doesn't work anymore. I can still create the folders but the references I try to put into them no longer show up after, there are just a whole bunch of empty folders. The stuff I had categorized earlier is still there (thank God).

Possibly part of the same problem (?): I noticed that my smart content panel seems to be inactive as well (as in absolutely nothing shows up there anymore).

What am I missing? What got switched off? And/or how  do I turn it back on?

Thanks for any aid you can give.

I've asked for a refund. But if there's a simple solution, I'd love to know it.

Trying to use this on a Aiko 7 figure and I kept getting an error. I figured out what was wrong with it. The character was in a group.

So if someone else encounters an error, it's likely because you've grouped your model.

I DID NOT EVEN WANT TO UPDATE BUT THE SYSTEM KINDLY DID IT FOR ME WHEN I WASN'T CAREFULLY WATCHING!

I have tried a number of solutions listed and frankly canot follow the techno-bable. I am also a busy person so I don't have time to weed through it.

Break it down for me in simple steps that a 5 year old could understand or come up with an automatic patch that brings me the directory I had in 4.8.

HOW CAN I GET THE CUSTOM DIRECTORY I WORKED SO HARD ON CRAFTING BACK!?!

This is a big FAIL on the part of DAZ 3D in produing n "update" that immediately prohibits access to the custom directory I spent literally DAYS setting up and have been using for YEARS with no problems between updates.

I HAVE OVER 3900+ ITEMS JUST FROM DAZ3D ALONE! DO NOT MAKE ME GO THROUGH ORGANIZING THIS ALL AGAIN!

I don't have time to waste setting up another directory and I want the one I had.

Just BREAK IT DOWN OR HAVE ONE LESS CUSTOMER. I AM INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW! THANK YOU!

This is the item that I have. It's a very pretty one. And for a long while I forgot that I even had it because it did not show up in the smart content page. Turns out. ALOT of my stuff isn't showing up there. I can locate it on my computer in a wierd folder. [ My Daz 3D Library ]. I don't recall it ever having been in there before. But it is. If that's the right folder for it, that's great! Wonderful! If not, maybe i need to know where to move it all. [ All of the content is in there. So it very well may be in there  too. ]

Inside the folder I downloaded with gothika there are the following files. A Cr2 file for each item and a png. But there is nothing else. [ Beyond the other files and their cr2's and pngs. ]

I've read a bit about meta data being how daz finds it. But i'm not sure if that's true.

To Note: I have all updates installed that daz can find for all products that I have. The client itself is updated as well.

Any help would be just wonderful. If this isn't in the right place. Please point me to the correct forum!

I'd like to fit some genesis 3 male clothes in genesis 3 female. Is there a way?

thanx

And taking much longer to render WTF? 

Can anyone offer any instructions of suggestions?

Thank you!

I used File Manager to delete a Pose Preset that I made, but the dead Pose Preset is still in my Posing>Saved Files>Presets>Poses pane, its icon replaced with an exclamation mark (because the underlying file is gone). I searched the forums and it said I should right-click on Content Library to get Content DB Maintenance, then click Delete Orphaned Files.

But there is no option in Content DB Maintenance for Delete Orphaned Files.

Where did it go, and is there now any way to delete icons for deleted poses, shaders, etc?

In content Manager it is pointed here

C:\Users\myUsername\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library, it has > 8GB of data

CMS is running and nothing as changed, I just opened DS after about a week or so.

What do I try? How do I get it to rescan that data directory?

I have a bit of a curiosity. I'm using the "Castle Dungeon" environment. It comes with some flames in baskets to help with lighting.

In the Iray preview, it looks like this...

Cool!

But when I render, they disappear...

Still looks cool, but any ideas why this is happening?

Thank you!

I just want to make a simple clothing morph, like a head band.
