      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone. Don&#39;t know if it&#39;s because I haven&#39;t been looking carefully, but it seems there aren&#39;t any 3D models of things like <em>bacteria</em>, <em>viruses</em> and various other sorts of <em>microorganisms</em> here at DAZ. This would seem an unusual and unfortunate oversight as the microscopic world surely offers endless possibilities for all sorts of great 3D renders. What do you fellas think?</p>

<p>Turbosquid does offer a wide variety of microbe models, including even various kinds of human cells. But most of the models are very expensive. Shouldn&#39;t some of our artists here be making some good models of this kind to put up in the marketplace?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I&#39;ve been using Reality 4.2 for Daz Studio. I haven&#39;t had any issues with it so far, and it&#39;s a great product. But what has been happening recently is that Luxrender crashes when it tries to load the scene. Here&#39;s the workflow:</p>

<p>1) Load scene in Daz Studio</p>

<p>2) Load Reality 4.2 and configure materials</p>

<p>3) Export to Luxrender</p>

<p>After that, Luxrender starts up. Then it goes to the &quot;parsing scenefile&quot; step, but crashes right before the &quot;rendering&quot; step. I checked the log, and there were no errors. Strangely enough, this only happens when I create a new scene and try to render it. I loaded an old scene that had rendered before, and it rendered again just fine. I suspect that there might be a problem with memory, but I don&#39;t know what to do. Should I delete all of my .lxs files and resource folders?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Well, I haven&#39;t decided yet to upgrade, because I&#39;m seeing mixed comments about it. Some say it&#39;s not a big deal, others seem to be panicking about it. Is there anyone out there who is not a DAZ employee, but just an ordinary user like me, who has actually given it a try and what is your opinion after trying it? I&#39;m assuming that I will probably end up going ahead with the upgrade, but as with any software out there in computer land, I&#39;m always hesitant to upgrade. I haven&#39;t upgraded to Windows 10 yet for the same reason. Anyone have any positive experience with DAZ Studio 4.9 yet, or is it too soon to be asking this?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to Richard for answering my last question about getting Connect content to show up in the Content Library. I have another partially-related question that I hope he or someone else might answer.</p>

<p>Normally when you select a figure in your scene that has properly linked Smart content, the MATs, poses, and other items will appear in the Smart Content panel (when the Filter by Content box is checked). However, figures that ended up in the &quot;Lost and Found&quot; category do not have their associated items appear when selected. Is there a way to manually fix this? For example, the Lo-Rez Horse by Predatron does not display any of the many MATs and poses when it is selected. Adding it to the category Animals/Real-Word/Land has no effect either.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any advice.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Well, first of all I purchase way to much from the DAZ store. But before I start&nbsp;to make a little shopping break, I had to get Lakeside Folly from Bitwelder as a last purchase. And boy, this is one hell of a product. I&#39;m always a little frustrated once I purchase stuff to learn that I have to investigate how to achieve similar results to the shown promos. With Lakeside Folly I&#39;ve got not only the environment with a lot of single propos and materials but also lights and cameras. And even three scenes to get startet and as a means to learn how to achieve similar results. Attached is just a little test with one of the provided&nbsp;scenes and only some modifications on figure and cloth. Took some two hours on my pathetic rig (two year old MBP with at least a mobile Nvidia GPU for iRay). And no, this is no paid post but I can only heavily recommend that product.&nbsp;It will definitely help my through my &quot;store embargo&quot; which will hopefully&nbsp;last until March Madness or at least another Zev0 release ;-)</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone know if the issues with the Dynamic Cardinal Cloak were ever fixed?&nbsp; There were some serious issues with draping the cloak, .obj swapping, &nbsp;and textures not loading correctly, and seemingly little or no response from Optitex or DAZ about fixing those issues.</p>

<p>At the time, I ended up requesting a refund since i couldn&#39;t use the cloak, but it&#39;s on sale today and I really like the design, I&#39;m very tempted to get it again.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><span>Not sure if this is the place for this, but I did not find a section for this question in particular. Gathering components for a new PC build and was wondering what others had so I can get an Idea of what I should really be targeting in my hardware. I have the cases (yes I said cases), 2 Thermaltake Core X9 stacked for lots of room for water cooling and plenty of room for expansion. Some water cooling equipment like hoses and fittings&nbsp;and 2, 360mm radiators. I just want an idea of how much hardware to put in for not just gaming occasionally, but serious graphic arts, I am thinking about changing to art and web design in school and want the best set up that will last for years to come. </span>If people could list what they are running in their PC&#39;s, I would be most appreciative.</p>

      <title>Suggestion: Store Filter for "Encrypted / Not Encrypted"</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>As more and more encrypted items are added to the Store, users who prefer to avoid that sort of thing may start getting frustrated. They see something nice, click on it, and only then are able to discover that it&#39;s encrypted. Do that half a dozen times and it&#39;ll get annoying.</p>

<p>How about adding a filter to the Store, same place as &#39;Genre&#39; or &#39;Figure&#39;, which would let customers filter out Encrypted items?</p>

      <title>I like DIM, and it's a big reason I shop here</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I have not yet tried the new&nbsp;<span><strong>Daz Connect.</strong></span>&nbsp;I&#39;ll give it a try when I finally get around to installing DS 4.9 (possibly this weekend on one of my computers, and next week on my other computer).</p>

<p>But I thought I would say that, amidst all this hullabaloo about encryption and people discussing how they will never use it and how they hate the DIM, I wanted to say that <span><em><strong>I like the Daz Install Manager and it is a significant factor in why I shop here at Daz,</strong></em></span> instead of over at RuntimeDNA or Renderosity. I do buy from them, but not nearly with the frequency I shop at&nbsp;Daz. I looked at my purchases for last year, and&nbsp;Daz got about 95% of my business.</p>

<p>The main reason, of course, is the high-quality of the content here at Daz. It&rsquo;s just usually better than what I get elsewhere. Renderosity stuff is hit or miss on quality. And although RDNA has very nice stuff (and I have a bunch of it) with comparable quality, there is less of it that fits into projects I&rsquo;m working on. One thing that puts Daz3D above RDNA for me is that I can automatically install my purchases with the DIM. I don&rsquo;t have to mess with fiddly zip files or with using the Content Tab in Poser to manually bring in each item (is it only one at a time or can you do them in bulk? I really don&rsquo;t know). With the DIM I can just select what I want, click DOWNLOAD and walk away. It&rsquo;s all done when I get back.</p>

<p>I like that. It&rsquo;s a selling feature to me. Am I giving up control by letting it put things away for me? Yes. Do I care? No. I prefer the convenience of the Daz Install Manager, so I&rsquo;m more than willing to give <span><strong>Daz Connect</strong></span> a fair chance.</p>

<p>Oh well. I&#39;m done here. Now if you&#39;ll excuse me, I need to go drink some more&nbsp;Kool-Aide.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>PS: I know about Content Paradise. And I never shop there. They just don&#39;t have any content that I want. Honestly... it&#39;s more than a little sad going over there. It&#39;s kind of like a store that&#39;s going out of business, but is somehow holding on, spacing its scant product offerings out on the shelves so people won&#39;t see how empty it is. I just get sad going over there.</em></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>...are of very limited use.&nbsp; The point of 3D is that it is three dimensional.&nbsp; When you have the interior of a room where each of the four walls is almost indistinguishable from the others, or when the exterior of a structure looks the same on more than one exterior wall, it&#39;s as if you only have one wall, all the other walls give you no choices, they&#39;re all the same.&nbsp; A 3D architectural model should strive to give you a variety of different aspects in the same room, or on the same exterior.&nbsp; It&#39;s not useful to have every structure resemble a palladian villa; it&#39;s visually boring, and it looks artificial.&nbsp; Renders are not like Hollywood movies - where huge interior sets are populated by hundreds of background actors doing all kinds of things, and where you can cut away to a view of the Grand Canyon or a speeding train.</p>
