Them Bones updated: the new bundle only?

Unseen — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 10:21:46 +0000

I see this new product in the store: http://www.daz3d.com/them-bones-legacy-bundle-with-iray-updates

I have looked at the separate items description pages but they do not seem to have been updated. Can we expect an update for these separate packs or should we repurchase the bundle if we want the update?

Where to find resources?

truerealityad — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 17:55:50 +0000

Hello, I'm pretty much new to the world of 3D. Are there any sites that have a large library of 3d models? Characters, models, etc.

I don't know where exactly to look, and alot of sites I found offer models for money.

Gen 3 Expressions

cclesue — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 14:12:23 +0000

Can you use facial expressions such as those designated for Ivan on any other gen 3 (male or fefmale) figure? Or for that matter Gen 2 and or Gen figures?

The dress that Kiaria is wearing is beautiful.

Will it ever be avaliable or is it just for Kiaria's promo image?

Thank You Ironman13!

Tallulahdahling — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 11:30:20 +0000

A while back I posted a request to you for ordinary,non-sexy,daily actions with partial poses included. I don't know whether my post influenced you or not, but I'm so happy to see the set I was hoping for now exists! Thank you so much! I've snapped up the i13 75 Pose Variety Pack for the Genesis 3 Female(s) (along with "Refined").

What is this about? The character seems to work fine, but the error messages are strange. I've re-downloaded Imari to make sure there was nothing amiss but I'm still having the same problem.

Will Animate2/Go Figure ever be updated for Genesis line?

SnowSultan — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 21:35:46 +0000

I started experimenting with Animate2 yesterday and noticed that the Sub-track properties panel only allows body parts for the Generation 4 figures to be selected or deselected. If I'm not mistaken, we also haven't gotten any official GoFigure aniblocks for any figure more recent than the Generation 4 figures as well. Are they still in business and working with DAZ? It seems like Animate is yet another DAZ Studio addon (like Powerpose) that isn't getting the attention and updates it deserves.

Rendering question

Nosiferret — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 01:27:47 +0000

I created a scene, background, lights, 1 model clothed and hair item. Setting iray render for max samples and max time sliders all the way to the right. Rendered it and it went on for almost 7 hours. I saved it. Closed out Studio and tonight I got back in to fix a problem with a clothing item, rendered it knowing it's going to be a while. But it finishes in 37 minutes. There isn't anything different, I didn't change any render settings, using same lights, same hair, clothing, model etc. Why is there such a difference in render times?

Can not find Northern Terrace Kitchen in smart content!

Harkonnen1969 — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:01:03 +0000

I bought the northern terrace kitchen but am unable to find it in the smart content. I've looked to if there are any other post but could not see any.

Cay anyone see it in their smart content, I can see it in content library which is ok but would prefer to use smart content!

Creating structured forum posts with multiple images (solved thx!)

linvanchene — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 07:12:52 +0000

Update / Edit:

Thanks everyone for helping out.

In another thread I was asked

linvanchene, did you mean to post just the tiny thumbnail for your example illustration? (Within the body of your post, I mean.)

Especially when you are trying to discuss the effects of changing some parameters it can be quite difficult to figure out which image is supposed to illustrate which setting when they are all just attached at the end of the post.

When writing tutorials or any kind of replies that use images to illustrate an answer it seems recommended to add the image directly inside the post after the sentence that references the image.

- - -

Unfortunately on the DAZ forum I struggle with doing that (as you now may have noticed and pointed out)

I do not know if it is possible what I would like to do or if I am just doing it wrong.

But so far I did not observe any posts at all on the DAZ forum that feature well structured forum posts with multiple images added inside the post.

- - -

What I would like to do is

- upload the image to the post and find it attached at the end of the post (this is working)

- next to the attached images I would enjoy having a button called "Place inline" (not available on the DAZ forum afaik)

- after clicking on the "Place inline" button the images are automatically resized to a reasonable preview size and place inside the post text at the current cursor location (automatic solution not available on the DAZ forum afaik but there is a manual workaround described below by Fishtales)

- when the image is added inline somewhere in the post there is not also an additional duplicate of it attached at the end of the post. (workaround found -> post by MelanieL)

- clicking on the inline preview thumbnail image should trigger to open the image full screen (works in Chrome or Edge. workaround for Internet Explorer -> post by MelanieL)

- - -

What seems possible on the DAZ forum is to just drag and drop an attached image to a location inside the post.

This does seem to create a tiny thumbnail.

I noticed that trying to adjust the size of the thumbnail just results in a blurred mess because the preview image does not seem to scale with the increased size.

But at least the tiny thumbnail serves as some kind of place holder so people at least know that when they reach the thumbnail now is the intended moment to have a look at the attached image.

- - -

So if someone knows how to properly create structured posts with multiple images on the DAZ forum then please give me some hints...

iRAY Animation?

Superdog — Tue, 26 May 2015 11:05:07 +0000

I've read a lot about iRAY but not tried the Beta. Now that DS 4.8 has been released does iRAY work well for animation rendering? There's a lot of info in the forums about iRAYb still renders but I can't find out much about iRAY animation rendering. I currently use Octane which just about renders animation but apparently is incompatible with DS 4.8 so before I update DS and dump Octane I wondered if iRAY rendered animation well and fast?

Transgender Genesis 2 Anyone?

Gregorius — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 03:01:42 +0000

Well, it's been a while, but I've been tinkering in Poser 11 Pro lately, first to upgrade my shaders to SuperFly compatibility and then to experiment with Genesis 2. I primarily still use Genesis 1 due to its transgender and adult/child morphing capability. I've had it explained to me why Daz split up the male and female figures again for Genesis 2, but honestly, from my perspective, I don't think it was worth it. I thought having both genders and both adult/juvenile shapes available in the same base figure was a great idea during generation 4, even before Daz caught on. I even toyed around extensively with Vittorio and my own juvenilizing morphs. So for Daz to catch on to the idea for only a single generation before just reverting back to separate base figures was a major disappointment. So, on a whim, perhaps emboldened by my first successful foray into SuperFly rendering, I decided to see if I could make Genesis 2 transgender-morphable and so have the best of both worlds.

I was especially motivated by two main advantages of Genesis 2. First, the return of the built-in eye surface material zone is a major convenience, because without it, it's very difficult to get an external eye surface to follow the eyes closely enough as they move and/or resize when you morph a character. Second, for some odd reason, the DSON automated morph transfer for clothing no longer works for Genesis (I tried practically everything, but I eventually gave up), but as far as I can tell, it does work for Genesis 2.

So this, believe it or not, is a render of the Genesis 2 Female base morphed to be half M6 and half M4. I'm encouraged by my results! I just wish I could get my new morphs working. The standard-issue head and body morphs work fine, but Shape Shift, Ethnics, and Thorne's resource kits do absolutely nothing. Curiously enough, the same is true for the unaltered DSON-imported Genesis 2 Basic Female CR2, so I don't think it's anything about the customized CR2 that's causing the problem.

What Are Your Most Useful Resources?

nelsonsmith — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:37:31 +0000

Once you've got the figures and the sets, what do you find to be the most useful items to add to your arsenal? Poses (full body, hands, expressions, etc). Shaders, Light set-ups ? What do you find that you need and use consistently and why?

Iray to 3Delight?

WF3D — Wed, 22 Jun 2016 17:20:47 +0000

As much as I like the visual style of Iray, I do not have an Nvdia card, so Iray is way too slow for me. 3Delight is a far better alternative for me in terms of speed. However, I am seeing more and more really interesting characters and items being offered (here and elsewhere) which are Iray-only. Is there a reliable way to convert Iray textures to 3Delight format?

Hugs to everyone of every culture and belief that supports peaceful co-existance and acceptance.

The Torch [commercial] DzFire

DzFire — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 02:32:49 +0000

The Torch and construction set is the must have item for everyone who needs a torch. Plain and simple. You get 11 different torches to light your scenes plus a complete set of props to build your own. These torches were modeled from actual flames and not just texture wrapped and the emission light was real world measured so no worrying about adjusting dials.

Does anyone know of a morph for the Elite Ponytail that removes the tail?

posecast — Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:02:45 +0000

Does anyone know of a morph for the Elite Ponytail that removes the tail...leaving the short hair portion only? If not, I guess I have to learn to model because that one is the perfect short hair.
