I know there is manga Studio (or what ever it is called now)  but what other options are there to make graphic novels with?   I do have Photoshop CS6 and Adobe indesign CS6 (I think but not with my computer at the moment)  I do not have manga studio and it looks like I cannot get it at this time.

Supported Shapes:

• Izabella 7
• Tween Julie 7
• The Girl 7
• Heavy
• Other Shapes supported in Daz Studio by Auto-follow

So, it looks like they're still keeping her a "Young Teen", just using a simpler re-titling.

could be possible to use some kind of poses from other figures? 

There are lots of possible poses available on daz store but all I have seen and found are for human figures not for robots, unless they may be compatible in some way, or if the poses could be converted

Thanks very much for any help

I'm making mats for a product... seems that what can be done in 3Delight with little effort is turning into a chore of annoyance.  Quite simply I have a set of head and wrist bands for a workout set, in 3Delight they look positively perfect with enough fuzz on them and poof to look realistic.  In iRay after the basic conversion and adding in a Normal map and removing the Displacement map I have a pretty flat looking set of band.  I tried to get a displacement map to work for me but in iRay it just seems to be deform the low poly items rather than actually displace.  I'm using a noise map (which worked fine in 3Delight). 

So if anyone has found a way under iRay please post. 

Thanks so much

I react to a man in those boots and tight black pants the way men react to a girl in a French maid costume.

Don't judge.

Which character is modeling the jewlery, there? 

The Sci-Fi promo requires to buy 1 new Sci Fi listed item to qualify or 65% discount on additional Sci Fi Items.

If I buy 3 new items + the 1 new listed Sci Fi item required to qualify forSci Fi promo will I qualify for gift card ... and Sci-Fi Promo? 

Then can I  pay with gift card for aldditional Sci-Fi itens that qualify for the 65% discount.

This way I am trying to include both offers in one transaction

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or do I need to do 2 separate transactions

1.- do I have to buy 4 new items to qualify for the gift card discount and buy the card?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

2  - do the Sci Fi offer separate, buy 1 new listed Sci Fi item  and the 65% disount applies on the additional Sci fi items and I pay using gift card.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I started to try this, but thought it might be better to ask. 

I've never used a gift card before and don't know if it has to be a separate transaction for each gift card purchase.

I am a huge fan of Andrey Pestryakov's magnificent scenes, and just bought his ancient ruins - which I highly recommend, by the way.

Does anyone know where I could find the backgrounds he uses ? Mainly for his promo images of Ancient Ruins, and the mountains of the Chinese Gazebo.

Thanks in advance !

I bought the above texture shaders and in going through the various options I have hit a problem with the "Sheer" shaders. Please see the attached screen shot. I'm wondering whether there is a prerequisite although the product page does not say so.

Also - I can't find any way to remove or zero the shaders. They seem to load one on top of the other. This means I'm deleting the clothing and reloading it when I change a shader.

EDIT: Fixed it with a quick to-and-fro transfer to Hexagon. However, now when I move the bone, the whole mesh is distorted!!

Poor G3M needs this so badly. There are only a few G3M characters (other than Daz Original base models) that look much different from the G3M alien doughboy mesh. Perhaps GenX Add-On for Genesis 3 will save the poor fellow.

It's so much easier to make the top for Genesis base figure, then make a morph for that top that fits the way I want it to on the Genesis Basic Female figure and then when I fit the original geometry to the Genesis figure, load the Basic Female version as a morph and name it FBMBasicFemale, the same name as the generated morph. Save the outfit and when next I load it and dial up the Genesis Basic Female it automatically dials in the morph I made instead of the generated morph. Now I have clothes that look good on both the Genesis base form AND the female form.

I feel like an idiot for not doing this with all my clothing from day one. It's so much easier than trying to make fix morphs for the breasts on the Basic Female shape. It's such an obvious fix I can't believe I didn't figure this out before now. DOY!

So my question is… since I’ve never done this… how do you create a long, flat object that you can apply a texture to?  I could probably find some kind of prop to stretch across, but considering that the distance from the camera is quite a ways off, it doesn’t have to be anything detailed, so a plain flat object could suffice.

Is a ‘primitive’ the way to go?  I’ve never created one, so I’m not sure how to create and design it.

Also, this could be in the same vein, I’m putting a bulletin board in the lobby and want to put papers on it with custom text.  Would I create those papers the same way?

I remember seeing a product in the store (http://www.daz3d.com/everyday-morphing-primitives) and that gave me the idea that that may be the way to go here.

Suggestions?

I use the mats from the Bunny Girl for Genesis. I fiddled a bit with settings but didn't get anywhere and needed to render and finish.

So, it's time for me to learn to make fur.  This was done in iRay, but it wasn't furry in Lux either.

Anyone have suggestions on where to start?

Up to 20% off all future purchases (until the gift card is empty)?

On top of other discounts?

And I have to buy four new releases?

From a list of items that I would have bought anyway?

Count me in. I just spent my projected 2016 3D budget on a gift card.

Even if you don't want any of the new releases, there are more than four below $3.50.

It's worth it.

Dome and Scene

Dome Only

Sun-Sky Only

Scene Only

Also the Dome Modes - whats the difference between a infinite sphere with ground and a finite sphere with ground and what is the difference in a render if  I use a finite sphere or a finite box with ground?

In the Scene tab, I select the parent part that I want to hide, then right click and select children.

Then, I swear that I used to be able to go to the Parameters Tab, Click on All in the left column, then find the Visible in Render and Visible options and, with one click, turn them all off. But now I can only do that for whatever body part I first selected. What am I missing?

I love the idea of a DAZ party! I wonder how we could promote it, as a way of introducing new artists to the craft? Maybe some of the vendors could get together and put together a starter pack that could be offered to first-time purchasers only (I wouldn't mind being left out, if it would attract new future friends!) consisting of enough items, examples, and tutorials for a new user to get a good solid start on producing a variety of art? If it was kept below $100.00, it might be an easy sell.

I would be willing to host a party where I live (Savannah, GA) if I could figure out a way to promote it, and get some help hosting it. Other local users with laptops who would be willing to help set up and demonstrate to the interested just how it works, how to use DAZ, maybe a free or low cost expansion pack for the free DAZ Studio download, (see above paragraph).

Any ideas? Any help? Anyone?
