What gives?

...and seriously, this whole crappy "Search Forums" for this site has got to get fixed. My little cousin knows how to do all that fancy code stuff, so if help is needed, Ill send him your way!  (at least the emojis work, but, nope, cant do a search.......  

I intend to buy a lap top to have a second platform tu use Daz3D. I should like to be sure that Iray is complient with GTX 960M graphic card. Where can I find this information ?

If I have a massive scene I know that affects rendering time. However, if the scene is massive but my field of vision that I'm rendering doesn't include most of it, will it still take a long time? Also, if I hide the items in the scene menu does that affect rendering time. I.e. does the rendering take into account every item in the scene or just those in the field of vision used for the rendering?

Thanks!

I bought a few Morph packages and was wodnering if they will be installed automatically DAZ Install Manager, or should I do something else after that?

I noticed that there is a dashed circle with a down arrow on some of them.  When I right clicked on it it shows "Install".  Does it mean that these Morph packages have not been installed yet and I need to manually install them by clicking on that circle/arrow icon?

Thank you for your help,

Like that in vue xstream

To explain it most succinctly, I should say how the parameters tab worked for me before.

Say I'm looking for a property, like "z scale" under "transforms."  If I had "transforms" highlighted, all the options of the subtabs of transforms (translate, scale,  rotate) would be visible: translate xyz, scale xyz, rotate xyz.  If I was jsut int he top heading for an object and I typed "z scale" in the filter window, it would show me z scale.

Since I accidentally did said stupid thing, if I type "z scale," instead of coming up, it will highlight the menus I have to click to get to it.  And If I click "transforms," nothing in the list is there until I click under its subheadings.

I hope that makes sense, and that it is an easy fix.  Sorry if it is a stupid question.  Thanks in advance.

I'm having problems while trying to render Anneka mats. Looks like everytime I add her mat or the shapes the 3Delight render crashes my pc. Unfortunately I can't save any log (since Windows freeze entire).

I've tried deletingh brickyard, opening DAZ as administrator and even reinstaling the content. Nothing seems to help me. Time to give up using that model?

and I can't even get them to load in the program. I've already downloaded, unzipped them and installed them to separate folders by the filename, one file for Penguin, one for Raven, ect.

C:/Windows/Daz/textures/Props/Mostdigitalcreations

and from here I've set up separate folders for each file. Was I supposed to do that? I thought maybe if I installed them into separate folders I'd be able to separate which skins work for which character frame, but now I can't find any of them. 

I want to make some veins for G2F inside DazStudio. I was trying to apply d-former to high resolution level, but noticed, that with any level of resolution or level of subdivision, d-former always uses same edges of same polygons (see the pics). And i wonder: if high resolution doesn't work the way i want in this situation, what for is it then? And, of course, how can i make veins then?) Thanks in advance!

Edit I think I figured out how to do a screenshot and how to add it.

It is a 32 bit computer if that matters?

Edit:

Got the OpenGL issue figured out but having issues with CMS which deals with Smart content and Connect content.

edit: forgot the screenshot

My question is can I use the zip files the DIM downloaded; or are they significantly different from the manual down load files at the DAZ store. As I have 170+ files going bck to at least 2009. Downloading 10G of content is something I would rather not do by hand if it is unnessessary.   

I've been trying to install my content onto my external. I thought I had finally figured it out, but now I am encountering a different problem. When trying to load Genesis (or any other figure for that matter) I receive this message- Could not open file : /People/Genesis/Genesis.duf File does not exist. Now, I am able to browse to the location and verify that it certainly does exist and I am also able to right click and open with Daz Studio and it will load that way. To back track, when I was having issues with installing my content to the external what would happen was it would say there was missing content that needed to be installed. It then went on to update tons of files, make a new directory in C:Users/f/Documents/DAZ 3DStudio/My Daz Connect Library/data/cloud/1_14812 (I'm not sure what that is) and mostly everything loaded fine so I thought all was well. I tried to use a texture from a character and it didn't load correctly. So, I tried a reinstallation and this is where I am now. I have uninstalled everything so I can start over, but before I do what am I doing wrong? (Just as a side note, I did tell the installer where to load content, and add the database in Daz as well.) Any help at all would be appreciated and I thank you for your time.

I am new to DAZ and interested in learning more about cel (e.g. comic book & cartoon) shading using 3Delight. I notice that 3Delight does not offer a manual specific to DAZ. Does DAZ provide such documentation? If not, is there another source of information?

I've purchased the PWtoon shaders from the DAZ store and found them to be useful and interesting. Is there a way to learn exactly what these shaders are doing--to see the underlying node network?

Thank you,

I always thought it meant there was an update for a product that had a REQUIRED ITEM- I did not own.

But, Dominator requires no other products and has that issue. Any ideas?

...I havn't used Studio for about a year ...or longer ago...and I thought I start with it again...and now I have a problem I cannot solve without help...

I have installed the latest Studio-Version and then the Dynamic Cloth controle ...but in Studio...Window....Panes(Tabs)...there is no Dynamic controler listed...by the way...I did not change any Path while installation of both Softwares...Studio or the controler....well...where do I find the Dynamic controler now....

I've just bought the animated textures script, just a great script with probably more possibilities then I can imagine.

Played around with it, made a simple explosion, worked like a charm. Still image rendering (3delight) no problem but

when I made a short avi strange things happened; some frames worked (so diff,ambient and opacity) most of them didn't.(see attachment).

If I move the timeline I can see all the jpegs change in the different slots like in the diffuse chanel.

Anyone knows whats going on?

Appreciate the help,

I'm here for the first time so if not this forum I apologize.
Okay.

I have a problem with the hair because I do not know how to remove them from the caps.

He wants that began with the caps and overlapped ears.

Can anyone help? I checked unless all.

Thanks.

Do any Mac users, preferably with an iMac similar to mine (i.e., Thunderbolt, not Thunderbolt 3), have experience with such devices?

I'm experimenting with exporting DAZ assets to Blender for rendering with Cycles. Has anyone perfected this workflow? I've tried the recommended exporter and importer: https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts4/mcjteleblender3. I can export from DAZ but the Blender-side python scripts fail without a specific error (current version, 64 bit, windows). Working without only DAZ's built in export options, I can export an OBJ file from DAZ and the materials show in the Blender internal renderer but not Blender cycles. If I understand correctly, there may be a way to build a shader network that uses these materials, but I'm not sure how or how to access the UV coordinates DAZ likely exports in some form. Any advice would be appreciated!
