Exporting pose doesn't look right

noahimself — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 19:00:06 +0000

I was trying to prepare a Genesis character for clothing in Marvelous Designer, so I was posing it with the limits off.

I'm really clueless when it comes to animation so what I usally do was that I drag the Timeline bar thingy all the way to the righjt while the model is in T-Pose, and then start posing. I usually do this so that I can export as .dae to Marvelous Designer. Then I replace the static T-Pose figure with the animated one I made, and hit simulate.

But this time I tried that (this is the first time I tried with limits off, I think), the pose looks slightly different. The arm was less rotated as if it was affected by the limits options (I'm not completely sure about it). I tried various different options.

I usually checked the "Animation" checkbox and the two below it ("Include transformations" and "Include morphs"). So I tried again with only the "Animation" checkbox, but it didn't have the animation when it was exported leaving me with only the static posed figure

I'm so frustrated and can't figure out any solution. Can anyone point out what in the hell did I do wrong?

Avoid posing overlapping/collision?

noahimself — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 13:36:09 +0000

I'm trying to pose characters, but faced a lot of problems when I tried to move the limbs to close to the torso. They very easily overlap

For example, when I moved the upper arm just a bit close to the torso, it quickly overlapped. Is there any way to solve this?

Any help will be appreciated

Staci????

Wonderland — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 18:53:31 +0000

I started shopping at Daz in 2005 I think (yikes!!!) and I never noticed Staci-- looks like a cross between the Girl and Star. A stand alone figure, I'm guessing not compatible with anything, too bad she didn't get more support. http://www.daz3d.com/staci-basics

DAZ Studio and Remote Viewing Software

roberthutchinson — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 00:17:56 +0000

Has anyone had any luck in remote viewing software (so one can view and control their pc with Studio on it from another computer) and be able to run Studio without the manipulation controls in studio not working properly? I try to move my character with the cube or the vertical/horizontal tool and the character just jumps all over. I have tried "Go To My PC", "Team Viewer" and windows 10 remote desktop causes Studio to crash.

Photometric Primtive Posing Props?

Scavenger — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 08:29:50 +0000

I've been doing some experiments with photometric lights, learning about the geometry funtions.

The problem with them, though, is changing the geometry of a point light is only visible when you render it, not when you're wanting to pose it, move it, etc.

I figure parenting it to a Primitive in the same shape (for example, a sphere) that you change it's size while you change the light's would make it easy to pose/move/etc...possibly I could set up a control that does both at once...

BEFORE I invest time in trying to make some of these, though, I figured I should ask...has anyone already done this?

Sorting Poser Files

Jason Galterio — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 19:55:44 +0000

So I am looking at my installed content and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do something...

The content files fall into three basic types of installs:

1. DAZ Studio Files.These can be identified by not having any "Runtime\Libraries\..." files. These are the files that show up under "DAZ Studio Formats" in the Content Library pane within DS. (Shown on the left in my attached screenshot.)

2. Poser Files. These can be identified by having only "Runtime\Libraries\..." files. These are the files that show up under "Poser Formats" in the Content Library pane within DS. (Shown on the right in my attached screenshot).

3. DAZ Studio Files & Poser Files. These have both of the above files and appear in both DAZ Studio Formats as well as Poser Formats.

1 and 3 of the above I have a handle on.

2 is the one that is giving me trouble. Is there any easy way to locate the #2 items through DIM so that I can isolate them? Maybe with a "file::.." search through the installed content? Or some other flag that I am not aware of?

License of environment building products

Archangel M4 — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 12:03:59 +0000

I doubt about the license of environment building products, like bryce, terradome 2+3, and iReal Animated oceans. If I look at European jurisdiction for music rights, I would say that the user of such products is the artist and the seller sells only a tool. If my artistical contribution is more important than the artistical contribution of software developer of the tool, I can use it in an Indy game without any other license. The only problem seems to me concerning the materials, shaders and textures of the original software tool. I have to replace them by my own ones if I want to use them in a commercial product without special license. But the developer of the tool has to give me the opportunity to replace those parts. If he doesn't show a way to do it, I am not supposed to exchange it by my own ones.

Am I correct?

(P.S.: I'm not speaking about the DazOriginal Gaming license, that I already own, but about royalties for plugins.)

Broken Link for the product "Wizard Pets Familiars and Constructs"

3Diva — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 07:17:46 +0000

I'm having trouble getting to this product's page (it seems to be a broken link):

I've tried clicking on it through the Mega Fast Grab post as well as doing a search for the product and trying to click on it from the search results. It just sends me to "http://www.daz3d.com/". ;

I'd really like to check out this product but can't seem to get to the product page. Anyone else having this issue?

Weird Rooms

3Diva — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 07:47:22 +0000

I'm looking for products kind of like the Lenore's Place product. Particularly rooms and buildings that are "off" - with weird and strange angles. Rooms, buildings, and environments a bit Tim Burton-esque or maybe a bit like "slightly darker Alice in Wonderland" type environments.

You guys know of any products like that? (Bonus if they are cheap or freebie. lol)

Mst Lily G3

BlueIrene — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 00:26:15 +0000

I just bought Mst Lily G3 because she's very cheap at the time of writing ($3.35), and on loading her up she calls for Karen and Eva morphs. I don't have either of these figures, and the need for them wasn't mentioned on the product page. It's no big deal to me - at that price there's still more than I enough I can do with Lily for her to represent value for money, and the missing morphs don't seem to make much difference to her anyway, but I thought I'd mention it for the benefit of anyone who encounters her when the sale is over and who doesn't own Karen and Eva.

3DU Megan - Matt

fastbike1 — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:49:05 +0000

Haven't seen any traffic about the 3D Universe Megan/Matt Bundle so I thought I'd post a couple of quick renders. All default Iray settings. No post, no adjusting. Another 3DU great Toon product. Will be lots of fun!

For those on the fence about GPU, GTX980Ti (runs @1320 at thermal limits 80C) - 67 seconds for Megan-Matt, 56 seconds for Megan

Edit: Just so everyone is clear, these are quickly composed renders, with all default Iray materials as provided by 3DU. I didn't adjust anything except camera position. Lighting is from Sveva via Rendo.

Consider these "out of the box".

3D Glasses for still images- Where to buy?

deleted user — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 06:02:49 +0000

I've been trying for an hour now to find 3D glasses and all I can come up with is links to 3D glasses for movie theators. Those will not work on a normal screen on a still image. I want to start making my renders 3D... Buy how can I do that, if I can't even see if it work? Can anyone help me find a pair?

But eight years ago... kids.

Footwear and Shoes won't show up in Smart Content. [Solved]

ghastlycomic — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 01:31:43 +0000

For some outfits I'm making the shoes and footwear won't show up in the Smart Content library, I've catagorized them and checked them in the DB Content Editor. They show up in my content library but refuse to show up in the Smart Content library no matter what I do. It's always shoes and footwear that do this. Anyone else experience this problem?

Vendors: We all don't use Iray ...

WillowRaven — Sun, 08 Nov 2015 17:15:41 +0000

It's getting frustrating looking at new products when the description and/or the promo renders don't bother to state if there are 3Delight materials or shaders. I'm not going to buy something if it's not going to work for me or if only Iray is all that's being shown. I get it's the new shiney toy, but not all of us are sold.

Shop Feature Request: Show Wishlist Comments on Product Page / Wishlist Features

Renomista — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 05:55:48 +0000

Hi,

I have some feature Requests for the Shop:

1) Would it be possible to show the Wishlist Comment on the Product Page.

It is annoying to have to search the Product in the Wishlist agin to know what you commented on it

2) Could you make the Wishlist sortable by Wishlist Comment

3) Could you show the "NEW" Banner also in the Wishlist view

Oh well, I didn't need to spend $100, anyway...

mmitchell_houston — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 17:44:02 +0000

It was late. I was going through the Catch-Up sale listings -- page by page. Selecting one item after another. After another. Toon Ghost? Why not? Ooooh, that M4 hair looks nice. And Victoria can always use some more pumps... Then, the silent hand of time struck! Silently and without warning, the $88 in my shopping cart -- a large but managemable number -- turned into a hideous, unspeakable MONSTER of $512! Ghhaaaaa! Time had run out.

Oh well... if there's an end-of month catch-up, I'll try to get started on my shopping earlier. If not... well, there's always another sale.

Can Bryce HDRI Products be used with Daz Studio Iray?

Scavenger — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 08:08:23 +0000

Specifically I'm looking at : http://www.daz3d.com/bryce-7-pro-deep-space-hdri-1

Obviously the Bryce setting files wouldn't, but the .hdr files? If yes, how is the best way to figure out the various settings to use when you plug the .hdr into the render settings? (which is actually a more general question for any .hdr not part of a Daz set).

Epsilon Bodysuit for Genesis 3 Female(s): Silly Boots

aaráribel caađo — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:53:59 +0000

When I saw this, I was really excited and almost immediately bought it. It looks great for the kind of stuff I'm doing now. But then I noticed the silly high-heel boots. As an option, that would be great, but if you want to do an image with somebody doing space exploration and you don't want to make it pure cheesecake, than those boots are just silly. Even if I had to pay a bit extra to get the boots morphed into flats with some texture on the soles, I'd do that. But right now, because the boots look fairly integrated into the whole outfit, if I bought this, I'd really be buying it for the helmet and hoping I could use it with something else. This makes me sad.

What do I next?

sowhat4_1e8d38b2cd — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 11:27:52 +0000

Measure Metrics - Install Failed

Ptrope — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 03:07:06 +0000

I just purchased this and ran the install from the DIM - it reports that Figure Metrics for both 32-bit and 64-bit installed successfully, but not Measure Metrics for either version, and I don't see anywhere to get details on WHY it failed. I tried going into the download folder and extracting the zip file, but still no go in 4.9 Public Build.

Any suggestions? That's a lot of money for a product that won't install.
