Can somebody please explain what this means in the EULA?

Three Dimensional Works. Daz wishes to encourage the expansion of the catalog of Content available to its users. Accordingly, User may access, use, copy, and modify the Content to create one or more derived or additional three-dimensional works provided that:

any such derived or additional three-dimensional works are designed to require or encourage the use of CRT Content available through the online Daz store either by (i) requiring the use of such CRT Content to function, or (ii) allowing only limited function when not used in conjunction with CRT Content from the online Daz store; and
upon receipt of a written request from Daz, User immediately ceases any and all distribution of the art that User has created from the CRT Content, if Daz has determined, in its sole discretion, that (i) such art is substantially similar to or is a clone of existing Content; or (ii) such derived or additional work fails to require the use of Content available through the online Daz store.

What I would like to do is make a bunch of character presets with the files that I have, and then sell a collection of presets on places like Ebay. This part in the EULA is so confusing I don't know if it allows me to do this or not.

'not new' items from artist catalogs missing the discount

bad4u — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 06:59:08 +0000

As usually sale page says "**EXCLUDES NEW RELEASES & PC+ ITEMS" for artist catalog items, but it seems this was prepared before weekend, as it misses all items that lost their "new" status meanwhile. Could that be reported and - hopefully - fixed, please ? I'd like to add some more items to my already huge cart if they'd go on sale too.. ^^

Missing items are e.g.
https://www.daz3d.com/mrl-ling
https://www.daz3d.com/h-c-shower-towel-for-genesis-3-female-s
https://www.daz3d.com/simtenero-shape-reprojector

Legacy Files?

HorusRa — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 12:53:47 +0000

Hi all,
A few items within my catch up sale purchases included some items that have 'Legacy Files." Are these files for DS 4.7? I vaguely remember talk of legacy files back when DS 4.7 or 4.8 came out, or somewhere back around that time. I also have some other products in my DIM that included Legacy files but I never installed them, thinking they are not really needed. Can someone explain these files to me. Thanks.

OT - SlideShare Presentation using DAZ Studio Renders

3141592654 — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 13:02:14 +0000

A little off-topic, but I made my first SlideShare presentation. 11 of the 19 slides were rendered in DAZ Studio. I know not everyone will agree with the topic, but I am curious what you all think of the presentation? Is it good, bad, too generic or stereotyped? Any suggestions for improvement?

Sharing Body Parts Across the Generations (eyes and nails)

Scavenger — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 08:33:59 +0000

An idle thought passed by, so I thought I'd ask in case it might spare me some self testing...

What kinds of body part packs can be used across the different generations?

i'm talking things like eye sets & nail sets.

I remember having issues with Genesis eyes with G2F because they changed the surfaces...but I have a vague notion that v4 used the same set up as G2f? does G3F?

Marcoor Vs Sci-Fi Cruiser Comparison

MJ007 — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:36:30 +0000

I am in interested in the following 2 ships:
http://www.daz3d.com/marcoor-fg-c4
https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-cruiser
but i cant really determine the size of the Marcoor in comparison. I need a smuggler ship along the size of the Millennium Falcon, but im not finding anything other than these 2.

Any input would be appreciated.

Sharing shaping/morph presets

Taoz — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:27:51 +0000

If you have a commercial character based on DAZ morph packages and you make some changes to some of these morphs and maybe change some unused morphs as well, while leaving the rest as they are (i.e. some of the original morphs made by the artist are retained), is it then illegal to share the preset?

Marcoor FS Maps too Small

aaráribel caađo — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 18:29:14 +0000

I did my first render with the Marcoor FS. The texturing is brilliant—clearly a lot of care went into making this right. However, when I went to render a cinematic-style widescreen shot, the fact that the entire body occupies one UV map showed up: the render has this weird half-tone-looking effect that I've seen with other renders when the texture maps aren't large enough. Earlier, I did modify the diffuse map slightly by "painting over" the logo (I'm using it as a stolen pirate ship). I save the file as an uncompressed JPG (e.g., 100% quality), so I don't think that should have made an impact. However, while doing that, I was surprised to see that the part of the file with the FS text on it—a chunk of the ship that's almost as big as a DAZ figure, scale-wise, was very small. So I feel confident the problem is that the ship's body wasn't broken into multiple UV sets and everything must fit on one 4k map. That would be fine if the ship weren't used in close ups, but if you want to render out a DAZ character near the ship at a reasonable size (say 800-1000 px tall), the texture breaks up as show. I'd urge all PAs to make sure the texture maps they're creating are large enough to match up in scale to a standard DAZ figure. I know there's some compromise with having a bunch of huge maps and render RAM, but I'd rather have to make some adjustments than not have the resources to do a render with a product I've purchased.

Combined discounts aren't working

ColemanRugh — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 07:33:30 +0000

A new item with x2 select PA products should bring the PA products down to 60% off and it isn't currently working... for me at least. The PA products remain at 40% off

Step Up the Quality Control

nelsonsmith — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 15:29:24 +0000

One sure way to lower sales is flood the market with too many similar items, or items that are below a certain standard.

I know a lot of PAs put a lot of work into their products as well as the presentation of those products, but I'm noticing that I'm having to wade through a lot of stuff to now get to those products. Products that range from stuff I could have done spinning dials on a base figure, to promos that look like something done on poser back in 2000, and every time that I end up having had to spend time on one of these I feel frustrated.
"Is the product actually better than it's picture suggests? Should I take a chance?" Especially if it's an item that there are no alternatives to and that I've been waiting for.

I know people like to be nice and not criticise, but this hurts the really good PAs as well, because when I see a mediocre item first thing when I click on the Shop Page, it means that a really good product is off screen or on another page somewhere.

Whohoo! Readme link now on the product page!!

BeeMKay — Sat, 10 Sep 2016 06:25:12 +0000

Browsing the website this morning, what did I find? There's a link to the Readmy on the product page now.

Thank you, DAZ!

EDIT: OKAY....

Then she finds that she actually doesn't own this to the DAZ people, but to the DAZ-Deal Plugin she installed the day before, and never tested. *facepalm*

So... thank you "BigBlueHat".

Mental note to self: No more posting before coffee.

Anna & Awan HD Oh My Goodness!

xyer0 — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 13:13:21 +0000

How long we have waited for a photorealistic (non-Photoshop-looking) skin texture of this skintone for G3M & G3F. Kalea & Kimo put us in the ballpark. And when Monique & Darius are released (I suppose) in November, we will have at least some (photorealistic) representation for most of the darker skintones except licorice. Thank you, Raiya, for once-again filling out the ethnic genepool (as you did for Gen 4, G1 & G2), and those are some gorgeous face morphs on Anna & Awan too. More males, please!

why always jpg, why not .png? higher quality?

Mistara — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 16:11:06 +0000

DS, CARRARA, and Poser can use png files. not sure about Blender.

bumps, displacement, makeup/tattoo layers be higher quality!!

Looking for Tutorial: Iray Photometric light geometry

Scavenger — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 08:21:28 +0000

I'm trying som iray conversions of old sets, and I think what i want to do will be helped with using photometric point lights, but I need to learn more about them, specifically the geometry control(s). Can anyone point me to some tutorials/videos/exercises that might fill me in with what I'm looking for?

(I'm at the point where I can't even ask a specifc question other than "what's geometry", which is why this is so vague)

Thank you!

Did I miss something or is the only option to purchase the bundle for both male and female? I don't need the male version. If so its a shame because I would have bought the female version. I'm not paying for something I am not going use though.

advanced animation effects

Sephnroth — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 17:20:27 +0000

Hi all! Daz is obviously best known by the still renders it makes - but I have often used it as an animation tool (as I know others do!). When combined with the right shaders it can make amazing sprite animations for 2D games and I have used it for simple video animations.

I have been working on a game of mine for about 5 years now and I would like to make an intro/cutscene video for it in the future. This will be much more complicated than anything I have done in Daz before. I'm intending to buy the latest animate addon to help me create more complex, layered animations. HOWEVER as everything I know is self taught and I've only used daz for it.. I'm really clueless as to how I might manage some more advanced visual effects.

So for example part of this cut scene will involve a girl tip-toeing across the surface of a lake. In my head each time her toe touches the top it sends out a little ripple in the water. Is something like that acheivable?

I know that daz ISNT animation software. But it is what I have and what I'm used to and I'm very comfortable with the pose, set key frame, do next pose style animation :o Creating my characters in Daz is just a joy also. So if I could do this stuff all in daz.. that would be amazing! But if not where should I be looking? bearing in mind I want to keep working with my daz characters specifically.

Thanks for your time!

Content Library mistake... help please

Bendinggrass — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 22:47:21 +0000

I accidentially undocked this tab..... which was not too bad. I was able to minimize the window, open it, max it in size, and so on. That was good.

But then, even worse, I eleminated the controls which let me open that wondow/tab to max.

How can I set it back the original, default setting.

Thanks

Teen Josie 7 vs Growing Up

sandmanmax — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 19:40:18 +0000

I've already got Growing Up for G3F, both the morphs & the textures and really like it. Does Teen Josie 7 add anything to the mix besides a different face morph and texture? If I didn't already have Growing Up, I'd get her just to have a young body morph but I already have that. But she is cute and on sale. Or i could hold out for Tween Julie 7.

Iray Shader Question

NV Oracle — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 19:20:18 +0000

I'm not sure if this question's already been asked and answered yet, or not, so I'm going to go ahead and ask.

Will the shaders that are labeled for Iray work in 3delight, or no?

If not, that's going to be a complaint that I'm going to make. Not all of us have computers that will be able to use Iray, and not all of us are going to be able to afford Iray for our computers, but I've seen some of the Shaders that I'd like to be able to use, but they're labeled for Iray. Before I get them, and are disappointed that they don't work, I thought I'd ask.

Thank you for your time,

Oracle

Nikisatez' Rianna Dress - Question?

RenderPretender — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 18:58:59 +0000

Heya.

I'm wondering if anyone happens to have the Rianna Dress by Nikisatez, as I'm curious as to whether the long sleeves have their own material zone(s) so that they can be dialed off (opacity) to convert the garment to cap sleeves/sleeveless.

http://www.daz3d.com/rianna-outfit-for-genesis-3-female-s

Also, if so, does this PA normally use separate sones for sleeves in other such garments?

Thank you kindly!
