The "medium" compression and the "high" compression.  These get values (in mb). Suppose we have 512mb for medium, and 1024mb for high. What, in the simplest possible explanation, does that mean?

The explanation I read online is that if the texture size is greater than the "medium" (512mb), then it gets compressed, up to the "high" size.

This explanation makes literally no sense to me. And this is all I've been able to find from Googling, both here and in the forums. So in an attempt to phrase my question as concicesly and easily as possible, I'd like to offer a hypothetical.

Suppose there are three textures: one is 300mb, another gets loaded at 800mb, and finally, a third gets loaded at 1200mb ~1.2gb

If the texture compression settings are set to medium for 512 and high for 1024, then what, specifically, happens to these three textures?

For some reason I seem to have a shortage of really good ones, I thought I had collected more but apparently I have not, or maybe they're just lost.

Do any of you know of any good textures for tanned skin? What I'm lacking in most of these is the significant difference in skintone between the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet and the rest of the body.

Do you know of any textures that have that difference? (for any genesis or generation 4 figure)?

Thanks a lot,

Me.

Also are there any other hairs for M4 that would be suitable for American Indians? Also for V4?

Thanks for any help,

Charlie

to work correctly. Any idea what can be wrong? DS 4.9.2.70

Thank you - both of you - for getting this set out, and NOT turning it into pinup wear. Much appreciated, and instant buy.

Just wonder if  it's possible to combine Iray renders and Ubervolume cones / props of the omnifreaker kind.

Just curious as these are two products in 3Dlight which I love - have anyone tried them in Iray, and how did it work?

Edited to correct my sober spelling. It was prety horrid this time.

Found it

I think it looks quite lovely and one of the more realistic hairs I've seen in a while.

It's a promo image for the Stylish for Baroness Jewels product.

I can proudly say I have every single character from Lyoness' store, and I am slowly working through Lilflame's stores, both here and at Renderosity.  You are both truly gifted, and I feel your products are worth the endless stream of Ramen Noodles I am forced to eat in order to buy them .

Keep up the fabulous work!

Is there a way to fold clothing (Examples: stand alone clothing figures posed on the floor or posing a skirt or a long coat front/tail  due to heavy winds. etc.) besides using magnets? Magnet work fine for minor changes, but the large the change, the more distorted it looks.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks!

anyoe know which these are?

thanks!!

also looking this ship,

BTW, I do own a lot of the recent V7/G3 hairs but find in close-ups, even with the best shaders, they still don't look photoreal to me, including some of the go-to hairs that you see in many promos...

Currently I've been using Soft Image or Blender for hair but they are both tricky and take awhile

Just wondering if this is the first program to finally streamline the hair process?

I used this method:

But how can you see in the picture, the cloth can't be conformed. I tried using this method too:

But it didn't work either. I tried to save it as a wearable present, as a character present, as a shaping present, but that didn't work either, also I loaded the G3M cloth into the G2M figure and it could be conformed in Daz thanks to Autofit function, but I couldn't export it to Poser either. I don't have problems exporting G1 and 2M cloths in Poser using the second method, but with G3M clothes, it doesn't work. So, what I need to do, is converting the G3M clothes into G2M clothes in Daz and that way, I can export them to Poser without problems, the trouble is how?

Do you know any method to convert G3M clothes into G1 or 2M clothes in Daz Studio guys? I know Daz Store has a program called Wear them All, but I think it's only for G3F clothes and I need to convert G3M clothes. 

So, can you help me guys?

I was roped into creating the artwork and animation for my daughter's senior project, programming a 2D educational game in the game Engine Visionaire Studio. I'm using DAZ Studio for the artwork, but I need some animated sequences for walking, finding stuff, and Viking-style combat. I'm also very "amateur" at DAZ, even though I have tons of assets I've been collecting over the years I never had time to really learn it, so I'm learning it now.

The main figures I'm using are Genesis 2. I have one main character that uses G3F Priya, but if I have to, I can give that up, as I understand (perhaps) the additional bones mess up some animation conversions. I won't let it be a deal-breaker, at this point.

Searching through products and the forums and Googling the topic, it looks as if I have several choices:  Buying animation sequences from Posermocap, SimonWM, BoneTech3D, etc. to use with Animate2 (?), using iClone, using Mixamo, or making aniblocks myself, or perhaps things working better if I use Carrara (which I own, but haven't used)..  As a newbie, I have no clue which one of these is best, except I'm pretty sure that doing it by hand would be an exercise in futility.

I've tried Mixamo, which looks great when I upload a base figure and animate on their website,, but the character doesn't seem to load back into DAZ - I tried OBJ and FBX with G2F and G3F (then again, I'm a newb and might be doing something totally wrong).

Does anyone know the easiest way for a non-pro DAZ user to animate? What software is best? Are there directions somewhere that I am just missing?

I can't find iClone in the DAZ store so I don't know if DAZ is still affiliated with that and if it works and/or works easily. Does anyone know? Is using a third party tool easier or is it a waste of money?

Was I foolish to choose DAZ instead of Unity? (I've spent well over $1,000 so far on assets for this project. Probably way more, but I can't bring myself to go back and add it up.) Should I move over to something geared for 2D, such as Manga Studio (now named Clip Studio Paint Pro)?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

I reinstalled Daz by copying everything from the backup to the new image.. it worked fine, EXCEPT I get an error " PostGreSQL CMS Connection could not be Established...etc" when I start up, and there's a "login" button hanging out....

Can someone had to advise how I fix this?

I got Top Gun for G3F at Renderosity, but I don't care for the glasses too much.  They're a bit different and thick for wire frame glasses.  Kind of side note too - when you fit them to G3F, the mesh gets all mangled.  Is there a setting to stop the mesh from transforming when fitting to a figure?
