I don't know if you're aware of this but the "Most recent" timer on Daz_Steve's "You've been heard. Response re: 4.9 and Encryption" thread is no longer updating since 7:50am today, even though new posts are being made.

Is this deliberate (in order to quietly hide the thread away) or is it a bug? If its deliberate wouldn't it be better to just close the thread and admit thats what you're doing? If its a bug, please consider this a bug report.

Also, considering it contains a lot of vital information from Daz_Steve that customers need to know, shouldn't it really be kept live?

It has become more and more of a chore to open Studio or to even think about creating something. I really wish that I could get back to the way creating art made me feel when I first started, but I have to be honest with myself I ahven't felt it for a while. Now our community is even further fractured by saz's implintation of DRM with 4.9. I have made no secret which side I fall on with this issue, but again it is now irrelevant. I have struggled with this for a while now and I really don't see any other way. I want to wish my friends here well and hope that you can all continue to enjoy working in 3D art. To all those that I have bumped heads with, I want to say it was never personal and I hope that all of you as well continue to enjoy this field of art.

Would it actually be worth going through the support ticket route again, especially with having minimal evidence of buying the book first time round, and none from my second copy because I got it free in the Grab Bag (and therefore have no purchase information at all for it)? My original support ticket was from the old ticket system, so I wouldn't be able to re-open it. The only reason I'm asking is that it would be easier to reinstall the content (when necessary) if it were available through my account (and by extension, through DIM) instead of having to use the disk, and obviously there's no metadata with the old installers.

Our new product is just released: Wild Side Outfit And Accessories for Genesis 3 Female(s). It includes:  Jeans, Vest, Ankle Boots, Sunglasses, and Cap, unparented versions of the cap and sunglasses, and 10 poses for Genesis 3 Female(s).

The jeans are made with high detail, and can be styled for strout leg, flare or loosen the knees, also made a bit shorter to use without the ankle boots, and used with or without belt, or remove the studs. The studs can also be removed in the vest, that can also be customized with several cleavage shapes. The boots can also have studs or not, or remove all the straps and studs. Same with the studs in the sunglasses and the chain of the cap. The cap has morphs and dials to adapt to many hairs and heads, as they control each part of the cap. There is also style morphs for the cap and the sunglasses, to give them a different shape. And 10 sexy poses, 8 full mats for each part, plus partials and hide options!

And all has lots of materials for each part, so you can mix and match and make it all customized. Hope you like it! :)

Feel free to ask any question and post any render here, we love to watch them, and this is your thread! :)

It's SKU:23!

Does anyone know if there are any "city-building" models that are similar to the one in the picture I am attaching here.  I would describe it as cartoon-architectural.  Sort of SimCity/City Skylines-ish.  Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that the Backdrops texture set came out in April 2010, or at any rate, that's my purchase date for it. So the table and charis were available before that. I don't know whether they were from this store, but there is a very good chance of it.

Anyone have any idea what the set is and where it came from?

Gorgeous as always (and is that Alessandro's wolf?)

Anyway my 5 year old son pops up, staring at the screen and suddenly blurts out, "Mommy, I want to go THERE! That place! Let's go there on vacation!" 

I explained to him (as he's seen me do computer work and 3d stuff before) that it's not a real place, it's just a picture, etc.... also that i can't afford it right now >_< 

and he kept insisting he wanted to go there... bwhahahahaha. 

Stonemason, just wanted to say, Way to go. I think your images are inspiring the heart of an explorer in my son. He even said, "but maybe there's TREASURE there!" :) 

He also said that there should be a dinosaur tho, so take his comments with a grain of salt. HA. 

Love the work as always :)

I'm sure DAZ will also forget, that we celebrrate this year the Olympic Games (which was always ignored) or the European Soccer Championship .

I expect more clothes and environments which are current to international events. I hope I'm not the only one, who want this.

Have you seen this?  Are you thrilled yet?

Second question. How do you LOCK render settings, and what I'm currently using for a renderer? I cant count how many times I thought I was on iray, and it turns out, i loaded a DS prop, so it switched my settings, and visa versa... I do not like how it switches my renderer constantly, based on what i load into my scenes.. That's super annoying. I want ME to be in control of my render settings, not my props...

After the one I originally clicked on installed, I tried clicking on the bundle, but nothing happens. (There is a message about updating metadata, and 2 succeeded and 1 failed.) Then I clicked on the one for Micheal 4 and again nothing happens except I get the message about updating metadata and 1 failed.)

NOTE: I have been getting this metadata message everyday for about a week every time I open Daz Studio. The numbers vary. Some times there are 17 updates, and 1 or 2 fail, etc.

So what does this mean? Does it mean the bundle has been installed? I can't seem to find the sheetz for M4. Maybe they are there and I just can't find them. I did search my content library and it did not find them. But it does find the ones for Michael 7.

Or should I just install the Michael 4 through the DIM?

Thanks.

I have been on DAZ since 2004 I believe; pretty sure that I had a ton of posts, which are now gone. Also my username is nothing like it used to be; but my avatar is still there :)

Did Daz flushed the old content from the forum, when the new forum was launched? Not that it bothers me to not have anymore the posts in my account, but I find it peculiar

The last time I saw Guru mediations on a computer was when my Amiga crashed. Have Daz taken their old Amiga out of a cupboard somewhere and decided to run their website on it?

I'm trying to make a Native American tent(tipi) with person inside and a source of light. The camera is outside so expected result is to cast the shadow of that person on the surface of the tent.

I was experimenting with lights and material opacity, glass shader, etc. What I'm thinking about is a shader (caustic) or something like that but I'm not experienced enough so any ideas or suggestions are very welcome.

So with DAZ's relationship with iRay in DS is one of the prerequisits sharing email addresses of customers with NVidia?

You just finished watching TV series "Hell On Wheels", "Longmire" , "Firefly" (My personal favorite), movie "Wild, Wild West", "Back To The Future: Part III", spaghetti western with Clint Eastwood or some old western movie from 

50's with John Wayne and you got inspired, or, maybe, you simply admire prairie/desert landscapes and their serenity with wild horses running around, tumbleweeds rolling across and snakes and lizards 

crawling all over the place ...

Your objective: Create scene which has Wild West painted all over it.

Every subject which comes to your mind is allowed, fantasy, steam punk, sci-fi, or whatever floats your (steam-powered) boat 

Basic rules will be:

1. Each participant may submit up to 2 images into the Challenge.

2. Images must be new (previously unpublished).

3. Images must be primarily set up in Carrara.

4. Images must be rendered in Carrara or in an external renderer for which there is a Carrara plug-in (e.g. LuxRenderer, Octane).

5. At least one WIP (work in progress) image must be posted to the WIP thread (this can be as simple as the scene setup, a pre/post post-work comparison or just a final image with a brief description of    

   the process you used or as complex as modeling rooms shots, shader setups or partial scene setups or test renders).

6. At least one object in the scene has to be modeled in Carrara.

I didn't know where to post my question, I hope it's ok that I ask it here. I just bought SF Anime Character Builder and the eye textures 

aren't displayed properly, in anime style. I know it says that it requires Camera Magic: ToonyCam Pro, but I thought that were only if I were to

render in toony style witch I don't want to. Do I need ToonyCam to display the eyes correctly?

People before have mentioned to ask the vendor; SickleYield who I did contact and did find to be helpful. I am now looking for other opinions from other product vendors because I need more feedback on certain programs etc to use for Daz content and to do this I need to ask a collective of vendors for a generalized idea which may be best and yes I understand it would be the wisest idea to use whatever program suits me but I needed some general info from other pro's in the field.

Am hoping someone could suggest a vendor who could message here or in private pm if they have the time. Thankyou.
