      <description><![CDATA[<p>Is there an <strong>easy </strong>way to combine 2 shoes (a seperate left and a right) into a single unit?</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I can think of a multi-step process that would involve exporting/importing/changing surfaces, and re-rigging, but that&#39;s not &quot;easy&quot;</p>

<p>A wearables preset would just give me a single button to load 2 items, right?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>So Overwatch is almost there, and I&#39;m thirlled not only by the game itself but its overall design.</p>

<p>The character,&nbsp; Reinhardt, especially with those armors, is very interesting. It&#39;s like a beutiful fusion of fantasy, Sci-Fi and a bit of medieval.</p>

<p>I have a question: is it even possible to dupilcate something like this below by mixing current Daz/Poser contents? I&#39;ve got some armor sets myself and it seems possible, although the breastpalte might be the hardest part to find a match for.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>So I assume that A Touch of Dirt must be in your cart at the same time in order to get 50% off the other items in the catalogue. I bought A Touch of Dirt the day it was released. Of course now I&#39;m thinking that maybe I might have fancied a few other things, but when I put them in my cart, they don&#39;t get discounted, so I suppose that is the reason.</p>

<p>The Ad also says that if you buy A Touch of Dirt that you also get a free Poke through tutorial. I don&#39;t remember see the Poke through tutorial anywhere. It wasn&#39;t in my downloads that I am aware of. So where do I find that?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>First of all a complaint:&nbsp; The search function of this forum sucks rancid swamp water!&nbsp;&nbsp; I know the topic of the new Jungle Book 3D movie has been mentioned in here before but the search function is useless so here&#39;s another thread about it.</p>

<p>The new Jungle Book movie is surprisingly very good.&nbsp; Technically.&nbsp; I couldn&#39;t tell where animation and photography merged.&nbsp; The images were totally believable (except for the talking animals).&nbsp; I tried to find the animation but after a while I just gave up and watched the movie.&nbsp; We&#39;ve come a long way from the original &quot;Tron&quot;.</p>

<p>I watched the whole thing and didn&#39;t get fidgety.&nbsp; In my dotage I&#39;ve become not opposed to getting up and walking out on a movie that frustrates and bores me.&nbsp; So, for me to say that&nbsp;I sat through the whole thing is worth at least two stars.&nbsp; The animation is another two stars.&nbsp; They could have left out the musical numbers, so that keeps me from assigning another star, but overall I had a good time at the movies. <img alt="smiley" src="http://www.daz3d.com/forums/plugins/ckeditor/js/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" /></p>

      <title>PCIe Lanes? (6700K + 2x 980 ti)</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi there, I was wondering if someone could better explain PCIe lanes to me, as I am starting to confuse myself.<br />
I just purchased parts for a new full-time Iray animation work rig (specs below), and I left enough psu wattage for my plan to eventually add a second 980 ti, when I get the extra cash, as I don&#39;t think any of my scenes will need more than 6GB vram for the work I do. Though now doing some more research I am fearing that the 6700K might not be optimal for 2x 980 ti because of the limited 16 PCIe lanes? will this impact full functionality? I clearly am not fully understanding PCIe lanes, and would appreciate any clarification here.<br />
<br />
Also I understand that when I have 2x 980 ti that Iray will only use the 6gb vram from one card which is fine, but it will use the <strong>full</strong> additional 2816 CUDA cores correct? for a total of 5632 cores, which theoretically should be double the render speed?<br />
<br />
And if I do end up eventually needing more vram, would it be possible to add a titan X to use as the primary for the 12gb vram, and then have the additional 2816 cores from the 980 ti on top of that for a total of 2816 + 3072 = 5888 CUDA cores?<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I have just migrated my DAZ Studio+Content to a new PC with an Iray capable GPU, so I&#39;m in the process of learning more about it. For example, I&#39;ve discovered <strong>Preview</strong> mode and <strong>Interactive </strong>rendering which are very useful for getting an idea of how the final render will look. However, I have noticed that, no matter how small the scene, there is a delay for each new render. In my test scenes so far, this has been taking upwards of 40 seconds before I see anything in the render window. Preview mode in the Viewport seems to overcome this somehow and constantly updates the render on the fly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The delay is acceptable for a still image but I was wondering about animation. Seems to me that Interactive Mode is ideal for animation but it still has the initial delay which prompts me to ask how people can claim times like 10 seconds a frame for animations?&nbsp;</p>

      <title>IRay Advice/Tutorials?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;ve had my new PC for a week now, most of which has been spent tracking down IRay information. The configuration options and permutations seem to be endless and confusing so I have a few outstanding questions which, hopefully, will also help others if we can locate some good information.</p>

<p>1. Best way of lighting indoor scenes with reasonable render times? For example, HDR with some walls and ceiling removed? Or Mesh lights or spot lights with geometry (e.g. 100cm disk)? Should we&nbsp;avoid emmisives? <strong>Note:</strong> I tried all of these options yesterday and was amazed at the differences to render times caused by some combinations.</p>

<p>2. How to set up materials for products that don&#39;t come with IRay mats. For example, many of the G2F/G2M skins don&#39;t have IRay sets. So, can we just click on the Uber shader and expect a good result or is there a tutorial explaining how to do it right?</p>

<p>3. The &quot;cost&quot; of subdivision, displacement, bump and/or normal maps in terms of render times. I read that normal maps should be preferred but most of my content does not have a normal map option. I don&#39;t have Photoshop on this PC but should I be looking at some way of converting bump maps to normal maps and, if so, how? Also, are all those expensive HD versions of, and morphs for, the DAZ characters too polygon-heavy for IRay?&nbsp;</p>

<p>4. Is there a good explanation of how to use the Canvas feature? It looks really interesting in that tonemapping can be done in post but, again, I don&#39;t have Photoshop (nor can I justify the subscription). I believe that being able to edit .exr files is a must but Gimp doesn&#39;t have that yet (as far as I am aware).</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Sorry If I&#39;m posting this is the wrong section, but I wanted to get Daz user&#39;s opinions on a build meant for Iray Rendering.</p>

<p>I posted a question on Tomshardware forum and got this build response. ($1200-$1400 price range) Also want a nice GPU, because it will also be used for gaming.</p>

<p>CPU: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80662i76700" target="_blank">Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor</a> ($299.99 @ SuperBiiz)<br />
Motherboard: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gah170d3hp" target="_blank">Gigabyte GA-H170-D3HP ATX LGA1151 Motherboard</a> ($80.67 @ Newegg)<br />
Memory: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f42133c15d32gvr" target="_blank">G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory</a> ($90.00 @ Newegg)<br />
Storage: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz750250bw" target="_blank">Samsung 250GB 2.5&quot; Solid State Drive</a> ($74.99 @ NCIX US)<br />
Storage: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd1002faex" target="_blank">Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5&quot; 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive</a> ($80.99 @ SuperBiiz)<br />

Power Supply: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr650rm" target="_blank">SeaSonic 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply</a> ($78.99 @ SuperBiiz)<br />
Total: $1359.61</p>

<p>I likely will switch to a 120gb SSD to save some money, and may want to get a slightly cheaper GPU. It&#39;s just been so many years since I last built a computer that I&#39;m not too familiar with hardware quality now.</p>

<p>Any opinions and tips would be great. Thanks!</p>

      <title>Mac and content management service problem</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>So, my 1 1/2 year old iMac once again refuses to detect the 2nd monitor. Apparently Apple was &quot;looking&quot; into this problem back in 2015. I guess with 10s of billions of dollars, they can&#39;t hire the right people to fix their bugs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Anyway, I thought I&#39;d try the &quot;Detect Displays&quot; on the display dialog, which of course does nothing. So, I figured I&#39;d have a look in the console to see if there is any error associated with that silent and ineffective command...nada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But, what I DO see are thousands of errors like this:&nbsp;</p>

<p>5/1/16 10:06:32.484 AM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.daz3d.content_management_service) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.</p>

<p>WTF? Why is my computer wasting so much time doing this? Is this associated to PostgresSQL?&nbsp;</p>

<p>I launched 4.9 and the messages continued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I logged into Connect, and the messages continued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>What is this service and do I want to leave it there or should I find where it&#39;s hiding and prevent it from starting up?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Maybe you&#39;ll have some answers after I&#39;ve restarted and reset my PRAM and SMC, since apparently that&#39;s the only way to get my computer&#39;s second screen to be detected...fun...fun. Linux keeps sounding better and better every day.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I am trying to install the runtime in poser but the same message keeps popping up .. <br />
"When used with Poser TM, "SubDragon LE" must be installed to the same directory as the application executable; due to restrictions on support file locations. <br />
Please select the directory that contains your Poser executable." </p>

<p>Though I have my poser library installed in another directory/disk , I've tried to install it in both runtimes but I keep getting the same message. </p>

<p>Did anyone else have the same problem? And if so, how did you manage to install it? </p>
