Looking for actual Cat/Fox ears for Males

ebonartgallery — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 20:38:40 +0000

So, what I need are a pair of anime-ish fox-like/Cat-like ears for a Genesis 2 or 3 Male. It could be a morph or a prop; doesn't much matter. Unlike normal ears, these are on top of the skull. The top-of-head 'ears in Fantasy Features for Genesis 3 Male(s) are utterly unacceptable - ears are thin poseable things, not thick immovable horn-like projections from the skull, and they need to poke up out of the hair as well - all you get with the FF is the abomination below.

When what I need to go for is something like

Heard a rumor about V8

TY3DArt — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 07:23:30 +0000

I heard it was in the development stage... is this true? If so this would be very - very tough. V4- V5 didn't even last- V6 maybe a little over a year- V7 now I am hearing of V8 - Gen4? This is costly, and constantly having to buy clothes, hair, poses, utilities... :( not good news if it is true.

Real Fur for Big Cat 2

Phantom Studios — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 22:35:08 +0000

Hello

How do you load the real fur presets for big cat 2? I know to go to the Windows Pane for LAMH but when I select the load preset at the bottom, nothing appears in the folder where I installed Real Fur.

I have tried looking for tutorials on YouTube but none were helpful. Any help would be great! Thanks!

.mi iray file export - useable? (Daz Studio)

Jimbow — Sat, 10 Sep 2016 10:44:10 +0000

So I saw you can export .mi iray files for rendering, but can't find any way to render the files. Anyone know if there's a .exe standalone renderer I'm missing from the obvious hiding places? A test export is certainly big enough for a renderable .mi file (48Mb). Seems to me that this would be an ideal way to render remotely. Or is the export option just there for show?

(.mi files are like .rib files, originally for rendering in Mental Ray but now also for iray)

What's the antigrav hair in Muscleman's Maximus Heroes promo?

Can anyone help with an ID? It's different from my favorite antigrav 'do, Zero Gravity by StudioArtVartanian, and I'd like to know its name.

Looking for a "soft" male character

retiretomaui — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 13:35:15 +0000

Hi all,

So, I'm working on a graphic novel and its cover. The lady is the main character, so no problem there, but finding an appropriate male counterpart is proving ot be the problem. He's meant to be, for lack of a better word, soft. He's tall, lanky, not terribly muscular, but not bad looking, either. Think of him as that guy you see in the gym all of the time who just never seems to really add bulk or muscle. He could probably hike ten miles gasping and wheezing, but bench press? Not on your life. He's meant to be a nice guy character, if that helps in visualizing him, a bit awkward both physically and socially.

I normally only do renders of female characters, so the appropriate male character to use is admittedly eluding me. Any suggestions? Any purchase recommendations?

Thanks,

Bob

Wet Hair Movement doesn't work

Quietrob — Sat, 10 Sep 2016 03:51:05 +0000

I purchased Wet Hair. An Older product for David 3 but with fits all the way to M4.

None of the stying morphs work. None of the movement dials show up unless I turn on Hidden Parameters in Poser Pro.

I am using Poser as the Promo says it will work in Poser.

It was installed using the DIM. I haven't had any problems with the DIM or DSON or any of that.

Can anyone think of a reason why the movement and styles parameters are useless and don't even show up.

Thank you for your time

Chapeau Faveral!

Alienware Graphics Amplifier -- Anyone using it for Daz Iray renders?

mmitchell_houston — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 17:26:51 +0000

I'm about to buy a new laptop for work and some 3D rendering. I'm looking at an Alienware 15 or 17 with an i7 processor, with either 12 or 16 GB of RAM and either the GeForce GTX 965M or 970M. This will be 70% for work, which involves running MS Office, Photoshop and doing some occassional light video editing (and running Adobe Captivate). Either of these machines would be more than adequate for what I need. In fact, there are LOTS of laptops out there that will do what I need for work.

The issue is: When at home, I need to support 2 monitors. Now, I can get a Dell Insperion (or something similar) with a docking station that will be more than enough to do that. BUT, the Alienware Graphics Amplifier sounds like something I could definitely use (it's a proprietary "dock" that has its own power supply and lets you plug in a graphics card. This would let me run something really powerful (like a Nvidia 1080 Titan).

Is anyone here using the Alienware Graphics Amplifier, and does it work well with Daz Studio and Iray? What do you think of it? Worth the investment of $300 - $500?

PS: Later this year I am building a high-end desktop for dedicated 3D use. This laptop is mostly for work, but I want to be able to do 3D on it while traveling, or as a secondary 3D computer when the new machine (and my backup 3D computer) are busy. So, amping up this laptop to the newest internal graphics card and most memory is not really my main concern.

ISO: Krang look-a-like figure

MJ007 — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 22:03:29 +0000

I am in search of a Krang-like figure usable within older version of DS (so no weight-mapped figure) usable for commercial renders.
Any suggestions?

Re time key frames?

tarosk — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 00:59:50 +0000

Is i tposible or is there a plug in that allows you to re time an animation when addign frames? I am trying to use a work flow in daz i used in poser where i create an animation at 1 FPS, then increase that to 5 FPS ... until i get to 24 FPS, alows me to fix small problems and gradually build up, in Poser there was a re time animation feature, in DAZ if i go form 5 FPS to 10 it blow sup the animation.

Anyway to do this? or even insert frames between key frams?

What does the word "Armageddon" mean to you??

Jan_Scrapper — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 23:32:34 +0000

It means a lot of things to me. A great movie and what will happen in the future (I am a Christian.)

However, today, it meant that my P3DO crashed!!! I had no idea why it crashed.

Anyway, I am organizing my hundreds of products for V4. I used P3DO Explorer Pro to find my Armageddon: Airiolus and Beezlebabe II outfit.

I really didn't think anything of it because I had a lot of things open on my computer and figured it was just much for my computer.

Then, when I tried to reopen P3DO and I received an error message, "For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again. "

I tried several times and got the same error message.

Then, as I always do, I Googled the message. Here is what I found http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/for-security-purposes-this-program-will-not-run/89909a1b-5b4c-4c88-ae59-7ec8ff523bdc:

For anybody else out there that gets this error: Check any file you're accessing or any application you're running for the word "Armageddon". In my case, I had the word in some search results and it caused another program to throw that error window. By clearing the search results from the one program allowed the other to proceed normally. I didn't even have to restart it.

I'm certainly not arguing this is always the cause of the debugger error, but it is ONE cause.

Well, low and behold, I still had the Armageddon: Airiolus and Beezlebabe II outfit folder open.

I closed everything and was able to open up Excel, P3DO, Windows 7 Exployer and Internet Exployer.

Isn't that really strange? Sort of creepy.

DIM & M4 "Anatomical Elements" Update

N-RArts — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 16:32:04 +0000

I was trying to be polite in the title of the thread.

Anyway, DIM is saying that there is an update for Michael 4's Genitalia, but it's showing 0Bytes. So I've clicked on it and it's told me to get the item from the downloads page, but that page has a 404 error.

I've been to the Product Library, but M4 Genitalia isn't listed there.

Plus, DIM is really slow. I've got a few other updates to install, but those are getting stuck at 16%.

Can these shaders work with Iray? (Denki Gaka)

These shaders don't say Iray but I was wondering what would happen if you added the Iray uber shader after? http://www.daz3d.com/super-shaders-sci-fi-tech or any of the Denki Gaka shaders that don't specify Iray...

The Animals in the Current PC+ Splash Image?

What Threads do you Bookmark?

nelsonsmith — Mon, 05 Sep 2016 01:18:25 +0000

There are a lot of threads that have a lot of good info for newbs and people who know their way around Daz, but I realize that I tend to stumble upon them mostly by chance. So I was wondering what are some of the discussions you bookmark that you find yourselves coming back to for useful info that takes your Daz game to the next level?

Some of the threads I've bookmarked are :
Will's Tips: Fairly new but Will's renders are great, he's always experimenting and discovering new stuff.

Fiddling With Iray Skins: because we're always fiddling trying to get that perfect skin render.

Who Said Blender Was Hard?: Blender and Daz actually make a great combination, and with Blender, having people who already know the program explain it is a great asset.

Approaching Realism in Daz Studio and Gamma Correction Demystified: Because basically I'm a photographer, who can't afford models and locations all the time, and Daz is a way for me to see how those ideas that I can't get live might have looked if I could. So all threads on realism interest me.

Those are just a few of the ones I find a follow fairly regularly, and even though some are above my head at present, I look forward to the point where I can put their lessons to work.

Rendered "Myself" In Iray

wolf359 — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 22:40:37 +0000

Well sort of ..
Since I have finally began to use 4.8
for "real "work I decided tp have a run at IRay even though I have no Nividia compliant GPU
as an animator I rarely render stills but IRay on a non nividia GPU is not a total nightmare for simple portraits.
This clearly unfinished render of my CG self Avatar was stopped after 1 hour 42 minutes
It would have looked alot better after an overnight bake but I like the look of it nevertheless.
Time to grift some new hardware .

Thank You Daz for Fixing Search Suggestion Prompts

MegafastGrab Q: Ancient History, Current Issue. Two SP3's the same?.. or Not?

Consumer573 — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 13:57:59 +0000

I know this is really old news, but maybe a Daz 'historian' or longtime Dazaholic can assist.

I (did) purchase Sephanie 3 Petite base a long long time ago. But in the Mega fastgrab today it came up with a Stephanie 3 Petite base and Daz said I didn't have it.

The titles imply one is 'updated' but the descriptions are EXACTLY the same, word for word on the contents. Does anybody know the difference?

I still have SP3 in my repertoire and I'm asking because I'd like to know if I should spend the money to get the one if I already have the other.

Time is limited by today's MegaFastGrab. Here are the links:

http://www.daz3d.com/stephanie-3-0-petite-base

http://www.daz3d.com/stephanie-3-0-petite-base-upgrade-from-stephanie

I was thinking that the first one (the one I have) might be a complete character and the second an upgrade from a version of non-petite Stephanie. The problem is that I would expect the complete SP3 character to be included in the partial [edit: meant partial to be included in complete] and in this case it seems to be reversed, with the complete character SP3 included in the 'upgrade'.

Anybody know?

Midnight_stories — Sat, 03 Sep 2016 02:15:57 +0000

OK this was suggested by Murgatroyd to do a fold pose. While not brilliant it is functional. I will need to put this though the QA process. It wasn’t as hard as what I thought, but they can’t be used with other morphs or they will intersect with the other side and it can get messy. Also a note of thanks to the people with support me Cheers !
