SeaFolk where are the mertails?

Charlie Judge — Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:52:21 +0000

I bought this product which is supposed to include the mertails and fins. I installed it through DIM and I can find the lilith character and even textures for the mertails; BUT I can't find the conforming mertails themselves that are supposed to be included. Where are they? Am I I just not finding them or are they missing from the product?

Thanks,

Charlie

MPII Human Pose Dataset -- photos of human poses

bytescapes — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 17:53:53 +0000

The Max Planck Institut fur Informatik has published a detailed dataset based on 25,000 annotated images of 40,000 people performing different activities, categorized by activity.

http://human-pose.mpi-inf.mpg.de/

The annotations describe the positions of joints and body parts.

Perhaps of interest to pose designers trying to make their poses as realistic as possible?

NVIDIA VR.... (Virtual Reality!)

Wonderland — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 17:19:19 +0000

If anyone is interested they can sign up for free to see the GPU conference online: https://mygtc.gputechconf.com. It's very geeky technical, but I'm obsessed with VR and have been to several conferences here in LA, and will try to delve in because it looks fascinating and is the future of our world. I first experienced VR at Siggraph like 15 years ago and was waiting for it to finally happen. It's happening! If you haven't tried it, go to Amazon and order a cheap Google cardboard VR set and download free VR apps on your smart phone. I recommend the roller coasters! That's just VR at its most basic. I've seen some AMAZINGLY cool demos that transport you to whole new worlds! For those who can really understand the tech stuff, this conference looks fascinating and it is offered free online.

Maybe DAZ could add VR creation to DS??? That would be awesome! :)

Oh, here is an article I wrote about VR at Siggraph last year for my pop culture blog: http://www.popculturetoday.us/events/siggraph-2015-virtual-reality-steals-the-show#.V308kZRHarU

Tanning Bed for free? What did we get for free, when we are PC-members?

RCTSpanky — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 16:47:59 +0000

If we buy an item today, we can get the Tanning Bed for free. But this product was also a freebie for PC-members a while ago. So, what will we get for free, when we have this product as PC Members?

Is Diane the only maker of expression dials?

Scavenger — Fri, 06 May 2016 16:30:13 +0000

I see Diane has another expression package in stores,

http://www.daz3d.com/expressions-for-mei-lin-7-and-genesis-3-female-s

I don't use G3F so not for me, but I've been looking for other expression dial packages, rather than presets...are there any?

Transfer Dawn character morph to G2F?

kaotkbliss — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 14:19:00 +0000

I've never used the Dawn or Dusk characters and I really have no plan on doing so. However, I did see a character that I was interested in for Dawn and I was wondering if there was a way or if someone had created a product to transfer the character to Genesis or Genesis 2 (could even be V4 with GenX I suppose)

Glacier Queen Fix

dracorn — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 00:21:07 +0000

There are some problems with Glacier Queen. I just received word that Arki is not planning on updating this package, so I would like to share my fixes with you.

Problem: Underdress distorts at the joints.

Solution: Apply Smoothing Modifiers. Select the dress in the scene tab, Edit, Object, Geometry, Apply Smoothing Modifier.

Problem: Overdress won't move with V4.

Solution: Manually Fit to V4. Select the overdress in the scene tab, right click, Fit To: V4.

Problem: Oversleeves distort when moving arms.

No Solution: The Readme indicates that the sleeves do not work in Daz Studio. Drat!

You need to play with the surfaces a little as well: apply Uberbase or Iray Uberbase. Test rendered in 3Delight.

Previously bought RDNA products are not showing up as bought

Wonderland — Sat, 02 Jul 2016 16:10:47 +0000

It's very confusing because several RDNA products I own are not showing as purchased and are not showing up in DIM. What do I do about this? Thanks.

New old content will not install

cherpenbeck — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:34:48 +0000

There are three new items from runtime: Link Gear Dynamic Cape V4/M4, The Dragon Braid Bundle. The Owls Bundle, which will not install by DIM. I get them downloaded, but the it says: Install Failed.

Yes, I know that they contains items which are Poser only, but does that mean I have to install them by hand to get the things which do work in DAZ?

cclesue — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 22:57:08 +0000

I recently ran some tests in the IRay renderer of old stuff for Vicky. A clothing items came ou looking like the had a shiny plastic overcoat. I'm new to this IRay stuff an know that there differences. I just don't understand what theya re. I like the textures on the items I tested and have no desired to go to all the trouble of retexturing them. What am I missing. I'm so confused.

Toon rendering: Getting an outline on the edge of a surface inside an object

gibrril_fa945a6cee — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:19:17 +0000

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with toon rendering using PW Toon and crescents cel shaders.

I'm getting very close to what I want, the only thing missing is outlines on the edges of surfaces.
As you can see in the first pic below, the outline of my wooden block appears very nicely on all external edges, yet there is no outline on the inside:
there are three sides shown, but none of them are sperated by an outline...
How do I get an outline to appear between my surfaces so it looks like the second pic (I added some lines using paint, but for more complex shapes, I'd like the outline to appear on the render without "postwork" )

Thanks a lot,

Kiki Hair, anyone tried?

HorusRa — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:43:26 +0000

Anyone one know if http://www.daz3d.com/kiki-hair-pack-1 works well in Studio (IRay or 3Delight), or any of the other hairs for that matter?
She comes with one hair and it does not seem to want to play well with Studio (or at least for me) no matter what, IRay, 3Delight, Uht hair shaders, nothing seemed to work.
Help greatly appreciated as always.

About Camera presets included with products

Kharma — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 16:33:34 +0000

When an item includes different camera angles, is the camera set up so the product is at 0,0,0,? I have had sets where I would look at the cameras included and there might be several of them, but some would just point at a blank wall or just at the floor or no where particular. Are these just setup cameras that were forgotten to be deleted when the set was made? I don't have an example of such a set at the moment as I am at work.

I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere that has a free morph of Hillary and Bill Clinton and for Bernie Sanders.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Really, really? Just give us DS 5.0 for godsake! XD

Well, I mean, they DID say they were updating some stuff with Connect and all, much to my anticipation, actually. But still, the numeral incrimination of all these updates to DS4 is starting to make me laugh.

Have a Cigar

Fragg1960 — Sun, 03 Jul 2016 22:11:40 +0000

Has anyone ever done a mouth morph to simulate someone having a cigar in the corner of their mouth? Since I don't think you can partially open the mouth only in a corner, I would think this would not be possible with sliders (but then again, there are more talended folks on here than me, so I thought I'd ask).

Iray Silk and Incidence Angle

aaráribel caađo — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:59:23 +0000

I used to own a great silk scarf that darkened away from the incidence angle—i.e., if you wrapped it around your hand or something, the red facing you became dark as it bent around the object. Is there anyway to simulate this in Iray? In pre-PBR times, this was done by using a gradient attached to the angle of incidence, but I don't know if that's "unbiased" and and would work with Iray. Nor, for that matter, how to put a gradient into an Iray material that reacts to the surface conditions.

DAZ studio very slow after reinstall

OS X External GPU works!!!

Esemwy — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 21:06:03 +0000

Mac users, rejoice! There is a way forward. For about $300 + the price of a NVIDIA video card, it's possible to implement an external GPU over Thunderbolt. Stories of these things have been going around in the gaming community for a while, but always for Windows, and always for driving video. I recently found the remaining pieces of the puzzle, so I decided to take a chance. I just finished my first test render!

The render below took 10 minutes 38 seconds on a GTX 980 Ti using an old 17" MacBook Pro. Rendered at 2049x2732 (iPad Pro resolution). CPU was disabled for the test render. Optix Prime Acceleration is turned off since it seems to cause errors.

I basically followed this guide, but I'm not using the PCI Express riser. I'm building an open frame case, like the author mentions here, but without all the extra hardware. To get it to work under OS X 10.11.5, all I had to do is run this script and follow the instructions. When you're done rebooting, install CUDA, launch DAZ Studio, et voilà. It's not an ideal solution, but it's a lot less expensive than a commercial eGPU solutions, I don't have to transition to Windows (shudder), and it works.

I know it seems complicated at first, but the only tool required is a screwdriver. If you've got money to throw at the problem, this is the cheapest prebuilt alternative that I've found, but it's more than twice as much, and you'll still have to go through the software gymnastics mentioned above.

If anyone has questions about this configuration, I'll be following the thread and do my best to answer.

Edit: Forgot to mention, this is not hot-pluggable. Unplugging your GPU during operation will crash your Mac!
