I'm interested in getting my skin over to Poser for my current project.  I know the settings won't go over perfectly, I'm well aware of that but wanted to know if there was a way to get at least the basics over using DSON or some other method?  I'm using the current version of DAZ Studio and have Poser 11 Pro. 

Since it's got Superfly (which is a pretty nice rendering engine) and I'm mostly using iRay these days wanted to know if exporting with the iRay set up will be a good thing or a bad thing!  lol

Thanks for the help!

Why? Because this is probably the first pose set I've come across, at least in the Daz store, that you can use for same-sex romance renders/scenes and not have to spend more time fiddling with a male character to make his pose look more "realistic" (i.e. fixing poses with hips that may or may not be dislocated judging by the way they often are jutting out, lmao) when using couples sets primarily made for male/female only, as is often the case. I'm not sure if this aspect of the pose set was intentional on your part or not, but it's most welcome none the less, and in all honesty, if it wasn't a PC+ item? I'd still pay full price for it. I'm actually kind of disappointed this aspect wasn't shown in the preview images (i.e. showing female/female and male/male in addition to male/female), but OTOH I can't say I'm all that surprised either, even if it's 2016.

(I am also sad there isn't a G2F/M version of this as well, but that's life and supply/demand, haha)

And while I'm at it, thanks for the same gender pair poses in your latest set (the Tourist one), too. Sadly, I didn't have enough extra spending money in my PayPal to buy both, but that one is definitely on my 'must buy' list come payday next week, hehe.

So here's the workflow I came up with, wonder if anyone has an easier way to do this?

1. Pose character (with all morphs applied) and pose it in seated position in Studio. Add chair in correct spot. Export character and chair as an OBJ #1 (base resolution)
2. Reset character pose to default T- Pose and move the chair way back in the Z axis.  Export character and chair as an OBJ #2 (also in base resolution)
3. Import OBJ#2 (T-Pose and chair) into MD as an avatar. Note that the chair is actually a part of the avatar so rotation is a pain since the chair is far away making the pivot point somewhere in the middle of nowhere but it is a collision item at least. Fit the clothing to the character as normal.
4. Load OBJ #1 (Seated pose with chair in proper position) as a morph.  As it is applied two things will happen
   1. The character will morph to their final seated position
   2. The chair will move into it's correct position, colliding with the garment (say, a skirt) from behind. It collides because it's actually a part of the avatar, as noted above. To get this to look decent I ramped up the number of steps from the default 30 to 45 or 60 because at 30 that chair is coming in way too fast (or rather there aren't enough calculation steps as it comes in) and the cloth tries to blow up.  More calculations = slower drape but cleaner result with the chair.
5. Export the garment (just the garment) in this seated position as an OBJ, import into studio with the character / chair position as in step 1 and there you go.  It should be a perfect fit for your posed character, no rigging needed (or desired, really).

The render below was a result of this process.  But it's tedious. I'd like to know if there's a better way to get a character to pose in MD and to collide with an object like a chair while the draping is happeneing.  Any better methods?

Anyone know what I'm talking about and can direct me?

I need such a thing for my procedural skins; I've tried painting my own but ... wow. So bad.

What surprising adaptations of content have you encountered?

I just finished wasting two hours rendering a scene. Setting it up in the render window, rendering it, and post work took me about two hours. Then I noticed that it rendered at 1300x1000 instead of my usual 1200x1000. I can't use it. The scene is too tightly composed to crop, so I have to go back and re-compose it, render it again, and redo the postwork. I realize that your time is valuable, but so is mine. If I had spent those two hours in my shop, I would have earned far more than I paid for your product.

This is just the most recent product that I have found to do this, and I can think of no reason for it. You don't know what render dimensions I need, please just leave them alone the way I set them. I even tried locking the settings and reloading the scene, but that didn't work. Oh, the numbers in the render tab stayed at 1200x1000 and 6.0:5.0, but in the corner of the window it said 13:10, and rendered at 1300x1000.

Why are you guys even doing this? It's more work for you, and more work for me.

Please, just stop it. Leave my render dimensions alone.

I have a short time frame to complete the job.

can anyone help please?

Massive, super, mega-awesome super-fantabulous Toon & Genesis sale!

THANK YOU!

You've made my Monday.

Where do I check in for this setting? checked my junk folder too, nothing there.

using chrome browser... this only happens on Daz site.. no other site has it. 

I installed Windows 10 to my laptop. The laptop became much slower with turning off and loading. So, I decided to revert back to 8.

My taskbar, tray icons and Start aren't loading. The clock is freezing. Long load times. Using the Windows button makes desktop icons disappear. The only thing that reverting back to 8.1 has fixed is the shutdown time (faster than Win 10). I can barely use any apps (including Daz), because everything become unresponsive.

Obviously something has gone wrong and, I think the only way that I'll be able to make it better is to reset the laptop. However, my laptop didn't work too well with Windows 8, and installing 8.1 fixed quite a few problems. So, is the 8.1 update still avaliable?

Any help is gratefully recieved. ^^

but, like, my novels haz were-dragons, prolly a lots of us do!!

would love the armour body for David5 and Gianni6,
so when they come out of there shape change FX, they still wearing it!!!

Is this a new figure?  Is it compatible with Genesis, G2 or G3 with regards to skins, hair, clothing?

Hope I someone can help, as always I am on a tight deadline here. 

I have some really nice stone textures/shaders for 3Delight which are great for texturing castle walls, stone walls, and so on. However, Iray doesn't want to render them, so I'm looking for some that will work with Iray. Any ideas? I did some searching on the Daz Shop site but couldn't really find anything equivalent. Does anyone know of any others?

Many thanks,

Bob

I have to be careful on what I spend my money on due to a very tight budget so I don't want to get it if it's not going to work.

Would one of you guys be willing to dial in a Little One to Genesis 3 and willing to show us the results?

I'd love to see a Little One dialed in at around 20-25%, at around 50%, and maybe one dailed in fully with another figure fully dialed in (to see if maybe it makes a toon look?).

Any help you guys can provide is much apprecaited!

I am in need of this pose for Wolf by AM. (The original not 2.0)

Does anyone know of any props available that would enable my characters to roll their own cigarettes? Tobacco tins/packets, cigarette papers, etc.

Thanks!

He looks like he suffered from some real bad fragmentation. 

I've also loaded Cookie and her Taur, and that worked without a hitch.

Does anyone have the same problem?

I think the arm/glove is Arki's Eagle-Guard and the cloak might be Luthbel's but character and the rest no idea. 

These are some of the best shader packs I've ever seen.  Very superior products.  Suggest grabbing all three while you can!

I did so miss iOS native spellchecking. It's a little thing, but it means a lot to some of us.

So thank you, for sharing your art here. You never know how you're going to touch someone else with your work and inspire them to create something new. 

I'd really like to know BEFORE the sale is over, because I'd like to purchase him, along with 11 other items in my shopping cart for that 80% discount. If he's not supposed to be included, then I should go ahead and buy something else before the sale ends.

So I am looking recommedations/opinions on the best, most realistic skin maps available for G3 
Keep in mind I am only intersted in photo based 3Delight
skins with a strong preference for Dark full eyebrows(brunettes) and not interested in "lower lady part Details"
 As I will always be doing full dressed animation renders.

I have attached a few pictures of the type of eyebrow shapes I prefer.

Thanks
