Thanks in anticipation.

I have tried the skin transfer utility, but nothing seems to happen. (When I copy the hip texture from the figure to the gens, the gens automatically get mapped as M4. I suppose that happens because I have that product by Slosh. (Hope I have his name right.) If I swtich it back to anything else, it won't be mapped correctly). But like I said, if I then try to transfer the skin with the Skin transfer utility, nothing happens. If I select the hips that are part of the body, then it saves some textures that just the hip part of the torso. But if I select the gen hips or the gens, nothing gets written and there is no error generated.

Or is it possible to do this with UV Mapper Pro, or 3D coat or Blacksmith or some other program?

I also thought of the Shader baker. I was going to try it. But I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I click to enter a folder to save to, but every time I enter one, nothing gets entered into the box for it. And since I didn't know where it was going to save the texture, I didn't want to try it and maybe over right my original textures.

I can use the textures the way they are, but it would be nicer and easier if you could just save out the part that is being used by the figure.

Thanks.

I was rendering a figure yesterday and I noticed his hand looked like they were in shadows. But it wasn't a natural shadow. The shadow covered all the hands and fingers but ended sharply at the hips. It was a transparent "shadow" because I could still see the detail on the skin.

All I did was load the figure with his texture and then I selected the figure on everything in the shader panel that applied to him and then applied the !IrayUberSurface, so I don't understand why the hands aren't the same as the figure. But I figure that something must be different between the hands and the rest of the body.

So I was wondering if anyone has a better way of comparing two shaders. I have gone and written down all the parameters and then gone through and tried compairing them. But even that is all that easy because the list from one part to another is "sorted" differently.

I’m trying to render this image in IRay but no matter what I try I can’t seem to light the eyes. (see image) Works fine in 3Delight.

Figure and base morph: V4

Mat: Sisterhood by AeonSoul

Eye Mat is also from th sisterhood package

Costume: Deathbringer. . .  Altho I can’t see where that has any bearing.

Lighting: 2 distant and one spot for the face. (Tried point but it didn’t work either)

And again I'm looking for looping sounds. Not sounds that gradually get louder then fade.

Same for high heels. There's like one good looping one in pond5, except it's steps on wood, not sound very good. i like more on steps of floor or cement.

however I'm unable to use a silhouette taken from the "Full" image and use it as a clipping mask in order to separate the shadows from the main characters/objects from the "Shadow" layer .....have tried several ways of doing this to no avail...heres how a few guys have  described what I'm trying to do although Photoshop is mentioned where as I'm using the free GIMP.

"Bring the silhouettes into photoshop (DS always leaves a white fringe around the edge of transparency), remove white matting under layer>matting, then use the silhouettes as a clipping mask on the shadow layer to allow the figures in the bottom layer to show through."

"Use the alpha map (inverted) from the first image on the second image to isolate the shadows.
Copy and paste shadows onto first image, with blend mode to 'multiply'. "

hoping someone will put me out of my torment and show me how this is done...lol

Is there any way to get a longer expiration date on that 'Keep me logged in' cookie?  (Like, maybe, forever?)

Thanks in advance.

I would like to pick all of your collective brains for a second.

I am trying replicate this handsone gent for Genesis

I've got the face down, but i can't get the ears and brow ridges.

I've tried using both the De-formers and exporting to Hexagon but they ridges alway come out jagged and pointy.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

It's an outfit for A3 and it's by an artist called Eldrich. It's called something like Renaissance Baroness for Aiko3.  There were a swarm of add-on texture sets from 3rd-parties.

I've got what appear to be the original the files. It includes the .obj files. It also includes a swarm of character morph files for A3 and the texture files for the character. There are no textures for the outfit in the package. Thaose were all add-ons.

There are also no .cr2 files for the outfit. All of the add-ons are .pz2 files.

So how was one supposed to load the outfit onto the character? There are promo renders, so it must be possible. Was this some arcane process that was common before I wandered into this hobby back in 2009? Most of these files date from somewhere areound 2005 or 2006.

What am I missing?

Thanks Daz Team!

Does anyone know what hair this is? (main promo) I stay abreast of what's out, and either its a morph of something else or a pre-release or? Thanks in advance.

This may come across as kind of a 'newbie' question, and if it does..., who cares?

I really like the Easy Environment scenes from Flipmode (sp), but I can't seem to get them to work properly with the Iray render engine.  I'm assuming that the issues I'm having involve both lighting and shaders.  So....

If anyone can offer a few tips and tricks to get those environments to render properly in Iray, I'll appreciate all over ya!

No matter, going multilingual is the right way if you want to expand the customer base in a limited or specialized market. If you want to grow worldwide and not only in native english speaking markets, you have to make sure the people there understand you and that english isn't a barrier for them. The problem is not with the younger generation, it's with the older ones not being safe with english - and that's where the money sits. Can only speak for Germany, but I doubt that is very different in other countries.

Yes, it's only a very basic,sometimes stupid and sometimes funny, automatic translation made by some computer program, that needs to be improved a lot. Still I hope this is not only a test but the future, e.g.

http://de.daz3d.com

http://fr.daz3d.com

http://es.daz3d.com

A good translation might soon pay for itself. And that's not only good for Daz, but any PA as well.

Go Daz !

PS: Or did I only miss that and it has been there for some time already ? Ugh ;)

The store page is a bit of a mess, too. I know it's a freebie, but it should at least have a properly set up store page, with actual descriptions and compatibilities. This looks like it was just copied and pasted from the RDNA store.

In any case, the copy with the name; RTEncoderPy-10.6 will not run in ElCapitan.

In any case, I've got a copy of Arien's Sylvan Jewels for Fabiana's Elven Soul. It was purchased here at DAZ (Arien's add-on, that is), and I am pretty sure that I had a decoded copy at one point, but it's disappeared, and I only have the original file, complete with the Bitrock installer (which I was surprised, but relieved ,to see would run). Is this something that I ought to contact Support with. I seem to have purchased it a loooong time ago.

I know that's kind of my fault for going "freebie crazy" and collecting a ton of freebies (but as someone with a very limited budget I find that freebies are mainly what I'm going to be using, as I can't really afford to buy much at all through the Daz Store). 

This is just part of it. And under those files are more files. And under those some of them have more... Yeah. How can one organize this mess? What tips can you all give me on helping me get these files where I can find stuff? What kind of filing sytem works for you guys? Are there any tutorials on how to organize files/content in Daz Studio? ANY help you guys can give me would be much appreciated.

Drawning in the Chaos and Can't Find Anything

But where in the world will I be able to find the matching ethnic clothing and hair to use with it?

And before someone suggests it... No. I am not going to make them myself. I'm not interested in that type of modeling.

I've found a variety of M3 head morphs that include Harpo Marx, and I could be just as happy using the Marx Brothers, instead. As I said, I just think it could add a little humor to something I'm working on.
