Need more manly hand textures

Llynara — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 18:18:53 +0000

Anyone else notice how perfectly manicured everyone looks in 3D land? The guys especially look like they've never lifted a finger in their 3D lifetimes, yet they're all super buff. Since I'm rendering characters who work with their hands (blue collar workers, especially carpenters, mechanics and other tradesman), that really annoys me. Their hands don't look like the perfect ones in DAZ. Soldiers and fantasy warriors wouldn't have pretty, girly hands either. They need manly ones!

I'd love to have some optional rougher textures that could be added. Just like there's are "pretty hands" and "pretty feet" products, why not some "guy" ones? If there's something out there already, please point me in the right direction! So far, the only textures I've seen like that I believe were on monsters and the Mortum Vetus characters.

Thanks!

A Question about the Platinum Club+ sale

Ken OBanion — Sat, 23 Apr 2016 00:25:04 +0000

Since I am already a Platinum Club+ member, if I decide to take advantage of the current 35%-off offer, will that extend my current PC+ membership beyond its current expiration date, and add another year to it?

i'm looking to make a patch/ painted decal for a military faction that isn't in the list and i was wondering if there was a way i could use MS paint or something to make a decal like a flag of some sort that isn't in the products list. Another thing i am wondering if any one knows where i could get a Russian modern day tank or APC of some sort i ask because i haven't found any

Good Sale, bad sale... (Layout)

BeeMKay — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 11:23:50 +0000

I notoced two different layouts for the discounts today, and must say, that I am pleasently surprised by the second layout.

First, this the layout we have all learned to hate: Cluttered, no clear information about the discounts. You have to do the maths yourself, and the discount is very confusing.

Second, a new layout, a nice clean table with the calculated final discount amount.

I hope that this better, clearer layout will coninue... and that they will get rid of the convoluted sales.

Possible errata - Today's sale discounts printed incorrectly?

Cybersox — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 15:22:53 +0000

Hmm. Both the e-mail blast and the rotating banner on the front page say "Save up to 75% off", yet the highest discount offered on the sale page itself is only 16% for new releases and 52% for Artist catalog items... which works out to a best case discount of only 66%, on either a new release item with the 30% discount or on an Artist catalog item that's also a DAZ Original if you have the PC+ discount. In addition, there's a "*t" qualifier on the bottom of the sale page that dosesn't seem to have a corresponding item on the page itself, and the fact that you get a 4% discount for buying just one new item, which means the sale price for a single new item is actually 33%, not 4%. Given that 1.) a 4% discount is pretty ridiculously small, 2.) that a single item qualifier doesn't even make sense, 3.) the lack of any "*t" marked text in the sale text body, 4.) that the disclaimesrs do specifically state that the discounts don't apply to any PC+ items, and 5.) these discounts happen to be exactly the same structure as the stacking discounts on the Gift Cards with purchase, would I be correct in assuming that somehow the discount structure for the Gift Card Discounts has erroneously been listed for ALL the New Items?

Otherwise, I just don't see any way that the advertised 75% discount is even possible under the terms of the sale.

Reality Licence Migration from RDNA

Contemporary Reading Lounge - does it have a door?

Ati — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:04:35 +0000

Hi,

the Contemporary Reading Lounge ( http://www.daz3d.com/contemporary-reading-lounge ) looks amazing, but looking at the images and the description over and over again, I have one serious question: how do you enter this room? It seems to have a solid wall on one side, and windows on the 3 other sides. Does it have a door somewhere that I missed?

Please Bring Back "HIRO"!

Chuckdozer — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 02:42:49 +0000

Please chime in if you'd like to see Hiro 7 in the future ;) I know, I know... we've been told that Daz probably doesn't plan on bringing him back because of the tremendous flop Hiro 5 was. Well, to be very honest... at least from my POV, he was absolutely hideous.... and he looked like someone spent about a week making him. No offense to any vendors, but his clothing was also very much lacking.... and his hair was just plain rediculous. Why was he such a huge departure from Hiro 4? Aiko 5 was great.... So why was Hiro 5 so awful?

Please, Daz... take another look back at the stuff Morris and Shimuzu did for Hiro 4. Take a look at the Hiro 4 Realistic morph. Look at http://www.daz3d.com/character-expansion-for-hiro-4 . Honestly.... so, so, so many females.... and we all know Aiko 7 will be along sooner or later. Please Daz, you guys know you can pull it off

Why does a "free tool" cost $9.99?

chris-2599934 — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:36:30 +0000

http://www.daz3d.com/light-probe-tool

The wording on the picture says "Simple free prop", the description says "Here's a free simple little utility prop," yet it costs $9.99 (less 30% for PC+ and up to 16% if you buy things today).

I'm used to "DAZ Soon" and "DAZ Math," is this "DAZ Free"?

Slow downloads?

Karibou — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 01:15:00 +0000

Anyone else having impossibly slow downloads right now? I've got normal (2400 KB/s) speeds everywhere else, but downloads from DAZ -- whether from my account or through the DIM -- are going at like 67 KB/s. Is this just me? I"ve rebooted my PC and router.

G3M / G3F - Transforms work better on G3M, any reason for that?

cosmo71 — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 05:39:39 +0000

Hello, I have recognized that some transforms (movements) work much better on G3M than on G3F if it comes to bendings. One example is the leg side-side transform. If I move a leg (thigh) of G3M to the inside the thigh/crotch region looks smooth, If you do the same on G3F you get a relativly hard edge between the thigh and the crotch (view from behind), any reason for that?

Yet another PC suggestions thread

Daywalker Designs — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 18:13:25 +0000

All right; my turn to ask for advice on a new computer. This is the one I'm currently leaning toward, although I will probably add a second video card for rendering and leave the main GTX 960 to handle the monitors. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/H9TdNG

viseme morphs in beards the ¿¿¿¿ obvious

WendyLuvsCatz — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 07:56:05 +0000

just had one of those moments in the carrara forum discussing dynamic facial hair and how I use the transfer utility to add visemes to autofitted conforming beards on Genesis.
When it occurred to me, most beards DO NOT HAVE THEM by default.
So I opened morphing clothes and loaded M4 and the M4 beard and transferred them.the results using Mimic were stunning
OK transfer active morphs in studio might work after adding lipsync or Mimic file but in Carrara and Poser you are without that option.
so it begs the question
WHY DON"T BEARDS HAVE VISEME MORPHS?

PC instead of Mac. . .

cclesue — Sat, 16 Apr 2016 19:34:35 +0000

This is not the usual Mac vs PC question but rather asking help in upgrading. For years I have been a dyed in the wool Mac man. The problem is that my system is now getting a bit out dated and underpowered to handle the newer demands of memory and processing power. To upgrade tot he level I think I need will cost me in excess ot a thousand dollars for the necessary memory and video card and I will still be left with a eight year old mac running 2x2.8 ghz quad core. My current video card is the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 with only 256M of VRAM and I suspect might be my biggest problem since a lot of the things I do rely on graphics card calculations. I say this although I'm not sure. I do NO gaming but lots of Photoshop and of course Poser and Studio rendering. An other thing is I keep having trouble with my memory losing a pair of Dimms has reduced my capacity to only 4 gigs. One of the things I did do that helped a lot was to invest in a solid state drive which speeded up Hard drive calculations.

So heres my problem do I try to upgrade this machine or should I go for a cheaper but faster PC? In this market I'm looking at over $2500 for a used 4 year old Mac Pro 12 core. Something on my retirement annuity I can't afford. I'm told PC are considerably cheaper if I'm not looking at a gaming machine. Is this true and what should I look for as a good starting point, both memory and computing powerwise?

Genesis 3 Male - Zero Hand Poses?

Chuckdozer — Tue, 19 Apr 2016 18:14:55 +0000

Anyone got a good method to quickly zero the hand poses for Genesis 3 Males? I have hand-only poses for Genesis and Genesis 2... but none for Genesis 3. Will the "zero pose" hand presets for Genesis 2 work on Genesis 3?

Random Anatomical Elements Added to Library

IceDragonArt — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 21:20:14 +0000

I had to laugh. The anatomical elements for Genesis 3 Male just randomly showed up in my DIM. Now, I am pretty sure that maybe its because I bought the Lee 7 pro bundle ( I hope that's what happened anyway lol) but it was a bit startling to find random genitalia downloading (I loaded the Lee 7 package yesterday so apparently he has been without for 24 hours)

Can Studio read Poser Camera set ups?

eclark1849 — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 11:52:24 +0000

Can Studio read Poser camera sets?

1. Can I create and save camera setups in Studio?

2. How do I do that?

And slightly unrelated, what lights does Studio have that either it can read from a Poser scene file or that I can convert from a Poser scene?

Girl Fight or Catfight Poses and animations for Genesis 3 / Victoria 7

JakeEdward — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 20:09:28 +0000

I really like what I see so far with V7. I have created 100's of poses and dozens of animations for V4 vs V4.

I would love to convert them to V7 and learn how to animate with DAZ-Studio. Any help would be appretiated.

My first question would be how do you save poses and animations in DAZ Studio, so they can be possibly shared or sold?

I have seen the conversion software, but I use a lot of parenting for my animations.... I use a lot of Figure to Figure parenting in Poser, particularly for rolling ground fights and certain kinds of throws.

Can one do figure to figure parentling in DAZ-Studio? If so how? I assume it is just because I am new, I understand how to do object to figure parenting,

but say hip to hip or body to body parentling does not seam possible in a Daz Studio program? Can you also do inverse or keep a foot stationary as the body changes in position?

Attached is one of my simple rolling animations

How do I select something in the Daz preview window and then keep the selection from changing to different active items as I move the mouse? It's a simple thing, and someone mentione dit here before, and I can't remember...
