Polite request to vendors of long hair products (PLEASE)

jdavison67 — Wed, 25 May 2016 14:33:02 +0000

Not directed at any one vendor.

If it's not too much to ask could you included basic presets for the hair when the head is turned left, right, up and down?

WInd effects are cool, but if the hair cannot be posed in the basic head poses what's the point?

Thanks in advance!

Strange Message

caravelle — Thu, 26 May 2016 08:24:16 +0000

I tried to log out, but always got the message:

502 Bad Gateway

cloudflare-nginx

And I noticed that download from the DAZ product library is painfully slow today. So, I want to sign out - but how?

EDIT: I tried again, and now it worked. Signed in again to leave this post - now I'll see if there is that 502 again...

Katsu for Lee price

Sylvan — Wed, 25 May 2016 06:44:08 +0000

According to the store he's $2 but I have to put in another item to bring the price down. From what I read it's a stand alone purchase or am I reading the promotion wrong?

Kalea & Kimo 7

RCDeschene — Tue, 10 May 2016 07:10:59 +0000

Well now... This is new. Guess we can add Tropical to the covered ethnicities list.

Plus, the fact that she's out this early (and given the improving trend of male reciprocation) says we might get a counter-part later this month. :)

UPDATE: Updated discussion title to include Kimo 7.

Middle aged male

joseft — Wed, 25 May 2016 14:06:15 +0000

Hi All,

I see a couple of good options for middle/old aged females, but im looking for some options for middle aged males (50ish). Looking at all the current G3 male people, there are none. And i have found http://www.daz3d.com/peter-for-genesis-2-male-s to be the only suitable option in the g2 range

Anyone else have any suggestions? maybe something at rendo? im wanting something quite realistic. with displacement or normals to get the wrinkled look, or at least very good bump maps. G3 preferably, but looks like that may not be an option yet

And on that note, we have the 'growing up' skin packs, something similar for adult through to old age would be a well liked product i would imagine. Or what about some sort of overlay system using the LIE, that could slightly alter existing textures to help simulate older age? that conbined with a set of older age normal maps would work well i think. Or would overlays that alter existing skin resources not be legal under those product licenses? just throwing ideas around

I Give Up

IceDragonArt — Thu, 26 May 2016 02:33:53 +0000

Well I just spent an hour and half going through all the daz originals and ended up putting 12 of them in my cart. I added the required new product to the lot expecting an extra 20% as it says in the promo's. Nope, nothing, no extra discount. I've refreshed backwards and forwards and six ways to Sunday. And honestly, I don't even want the stuff anymore I am so frustrated

Wishlist/Checkout Annoyances & Warning!

Stryder87 — Wed, 25 May 2016 15:43:38 +0000

So I was reading about a big sale right now on some older items and thought I'd give my wishlist a browse to see what I might pick up. I added about 9 items, and, because I've learned to check the material presets for 3Delight as I don't use Iray, I checked each one to make sure it would work for me. Here are the problems I found:

1) Two items were add-ons and, when I went to add them to my cart, they both said I needed to purchase the original. I almost put the original in the cart, but thought I'd check first. When I opened the add-on products up in their own tab, they both said I already own the original (which I do). I refreshed the cart and the wishlist and that fixed itself.

2) I added a G3F figure that had been in my wishlist for some time to my cart. I then, from the cart, opened the product up in a seperate tab and it said I already owned the product! I checked and it was already in my Product Library! I refreshed the wishlist and cart again and it disappeared. Why didn't this get fixed when I refreshed them the first time?

Seriously... this is just BAD. How many people have bought an item they already own because the database on Daz's server isn't working right? I just about spent $25 for items I already owned. How many are in my library paid for twice and I'll never know? Granted, some are from packages where the savings out-weighed buying the items I still needed seperately, but that's pretty rare.

This having to double and triple check stuff before you hit the purchase button is really eroding my confidence in Daz, and I highly recommend everyone to make sure they double check their cart before purchasing!!

Is there a Product of Construction Worker Clothes G2Male and a Hose for Firemen?

nokoteb99 — Thu, 26 May 2016 01:17:16 +0000

I just can't find any clothes for construction workers. Also no hoses anywhere, i need a hose for firemen to use. Anyone know of any? I was thinking for construction workers this would do but i'm not sure: http://www.daz3d.com/diesel-outfit-genesis-2-male-s

Product Downloads SNAIL SPEED

GnotMe — Wed, 25 May 2016 23:59:41 +0000

Starting around at around 4:00 pm CST downloads of newly purchased items using DIM are just about stalled. What should have taken 2-5 minutes maximum (I'm not including DAZ Studio 4.9 2 update which I have excluded) is still not done for 4 products.

Please FIX THIS as soon as possible.

UV oddity

Taoz — Wed, 25 May 2016 22:52:58 +0000

I just wanted to apply new shaders to a dress, the original textures all look as if the UV zones are top/bottom/(belt), but the UV is actually split into front and back. Pretty awkward and unusual IMO, is there any good reason for doing it that way? I think I recall a way to alter the UV zones in DS but I can't remember how (I know I can do it in other programs but that's a bit troublesome).

Daz Server issues/download speeds

HorusRa — Wed, 25 May 2016 22:56:07 +0000

Anyone experiencing exremely slow d/l speeds in DIM? I'm talking KB speed. I didn't even try to continue the d/l of the new items I purchased a few hrs ago. For example, it took nearly an hr to get 4.9.2 this morning, I would suspect all the d/l's of the new Studio version, but I wanted to check.
Thanks

Does anybody knows about a 2D game engine where I can use Daz renderings?

l_riefkohl_ferrer_1923365ed0 — Mon, 23 May 2016 18:08:10 +0000

I just noticed that Rockin' Dead game used mostly 2D Daz renderings and I was wondering if anybody knows which engine they used or if there's another engine that can program a game similar to that one. Thanks in advance!

Decal edges?

Oso3D — Tue, 24 May 2016 17:37:28 +0000

So I'm experimenting with trying to have 'elevation' elements using Iray decals. Using a simple vertical gradient so it goes from 'decal is showing' to 'decal is not showing' and voila, peaks!

Eeeeexcept there is still a visible edge on the bottom of the decal, which shouldn't be visible. I can work around that by making the decal encompass the whole thing and shrinking the gradient to one part of it, but that's... messy. Anyone know what gives?

Slow, Sloo...oow Downloads

Charlie Judge — Wed, 25 May 2016 17:11:19 +0000

Maybe it's because the the new DS versin being released right after Kimo's release, but I but bought the Kimo bundle together with a lot of stuff that was on sale with it and now I can't download it with DIM because on impossibly slow speeds.

Is anyone else having problems?

Boolean searches on Daz?

lexbaird — Sun, 24 Apr 2016 01:34:26 +0000

I'm trying to find a past topic post relating to both geografts and morphs, but the search engine here is returning all mentions of either. How does the search engine here define limited searches? I tried putting in "geograft AND morph", and "geograft + morph" and get a bazillion useless hits of "morph" all by itself. What is the proper syntax for search requests?

Does anyone know what scene/props are used in Eternal Outfit first promo? (Closed)

Ethnic Couple 7 Idea Thread

RCDeschene — Mon, 16 May 2016 23:43:20 +0000

Since DAZ seems to be experimenting with more ethnicities in the Iconic Character line-up, it makes me curious as to what other non-Caucasian nationalities they could market. So far we have:

Asian: Mei Lin & Lee
African: Monique & Darius
Tropical: Kalea & Kimo

So, what would be some good and tasteful ideas for other ethnicities that you think would be great to see in the Pro Bundle section of our store?

I for one would love to see an official Native American couple with both traditional and modern attire that respects the ancient North American culture with long raven hair styles both straight and braided. We already have SickleYeild's Native American Ethnicity DOs as well as FWSA's Wachiwi and Aiyana without a fuss, so there's nothing stopping it from happening. :)

Exporting user data (metadata)..where does it go? solved

jakiblue — Wed, 25 May 2016 08:20:16 +0000

With the new version of 4.9.2 I wanted to do a backup of the metadata/categories etc that I have created. In 'DB Maintenance' I hit "export user data" (which I assume is what I need to do?) and it did its stuff.....but ah, where did it export to???

Terradome 2 for DAZ Studio?

Superdog — Mon, 16 May 2016 22:00:47 +0000

Now that Runtime DNA is part of DAZ will we see Terradome for DAZ Studio? When I used to buy from Runtimes old site I was always envious of Terradome especially when it was updated to v2. Does anyone else here wish to see TD2 for DS?

Idea to make rigging a little less tedius.

ghastlycomic — Wed, 18 May 2016 09:00:22 +0000

Since Daz doesn't have a basic humanoid skeleton to rig from like other programs do I'm going to experiment to see if I can come up with something that will sort of work like one. I've taken a MakeHuman figure and sliced it up by bone selection groups then filled by bone selection group. I hope to then be able to grab the selection groups and reposition and scale them to the appropriate size for custom figures I make, then memorize the rigging and transfer it to the custom figure. After that it's just a matter of cleaning up the weight maps and I'll have hopefully eliminated the tedius task of building a skeleton from scratch and creating selection groups on my model.

Leaked pics of GTX 1080?

outrider42 — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 03:17:36 +0000

At least as far as rumors go, many of these specs are not new. But we now have a picture of the board the 1080 is supposed to be http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-gp104-gpu-leaked/

8 gb GDDR5X vram will be the new standard. 2560 CUDA cores. Powered by a single 8 pin connector. June 2016!

How to use GIMP to blend in shadow image for IBL when using Reality Daz Studio?

3DthiSS — Fri, 20 May 2016 22:38:18 +0000

hi everyone

the downside of using IBL's and HDRI's in Reality Daz Studio is no shadow catcher so I would like to learn the following.

"The workaround is to do a separate render with a ground plane to "catch" the shadows and use "render as a statue" which is an option in Reality. This sends a scene to Luxrender where everything has a matte white material. This produces an image that can be layered in an image editor using a blend mode (I think only "multiply" will produce the desired effect).

If you fiddle with the contrast and brightness of the "statue" render layer and erase everything in it except the shadows you can get a good result. Of course, it's time consuming to have to do two renders and all the postwork, but I think it's the only way."

I have GIMP but do not understand how to layer the different images.

Could someone who knows please walk me through this or point me to a tutorial?...it would be so awesome to learn how to do this.

thanx

Conform high heels to Genesis 2 Male

frerepoulet — Tue, 24 May 2016 02:55:44 +0000

I'm trying to cross-dress a Genesis 2 Male figure and I am not entirely sure on how to manipulate things. When I try to "Fit to" the heels to the male figure, it ends up looking like the attached picture. I'm using heels from the Sinner's Embrace bundle so i set the "Fit to" parameters respectively to Genesis 2 Female and Footwear. I am able to fit the shoes to the feet while they are not parented to the male figure, but I obviously need to animate it. Is there a way to manipulate accurately the position of the heels after it is linked to the figure? I found multiple threads on how to conform older props to newer generations, but i am not sure on how to address this issue as it is a male to female conversion. Here are some of the info I found: 1, 2, 3.

If someone could guide me in the direction I need to go, it would be very appreciated.

Smaller lips - howto?

mork — Thu, 19 May 2016 09:41:41 +0000

I have that problem when looking at my character library, most of the characters have, in my oppinion, huge lips.
When looking at people, it is rather exceptional that they have huge lips, and if they do, most of them were not born with them - if you know what I mean.
I know exactly 1 woman that really has "huge" lips, which look somewhat like the ones most of my characters have. It suits her, but my point is that it is quite rare on women to have those, while is pretty much the standard on almost all DAZ characters, even Teen ones.

So, I often tried to dial down the lips, but like with the breasts, it often turns out to be very awkward - I cannot get a satisfying results, despite having quite some morphs to adjust them.

Long story made short:
Is there a good way to make lips on a (female) character smaller? How would you do it?
Wouldn't it be better to have the characters with "normal" lips plus a morph to make them look like the PA wants them to look? It's much easier to blow them up than to reduce them to what I consider a normal size.
