Here is our new hair for Genesis 3 Female(s): Selvana Hair, which has 124 morphs and 20 Classic Hair Dyes, 10 Californian Highlights, and 10 Two Toned Hair Dyes. The hair when you put it is straight, but it has wavy morphs, and if you mix them with messy, volume and wind morphs, you can give it very different and fun looks.

It can be made straight or wavy, blown with wind, moved in all direction, use it with any elven ear, make it messy , put it all back in one or both sides, and many more things. It is a very versatile hair that can look great on many characters.

The many morphs and materials included make this hair very customizable and perfect for any situation. Hope you like it! :)

We will love if you post any render here, we love to watch them! ;)

1. Has someone this product and if so, how is it?

2. Buildings: indoor renders possible or are they just created for outdoor renders?

3. Are props like plants and stuff and also ships single props or just included in the scene? (can be that I just want to use a ship for example or the village without all the props)

4. If props are included in the scene, can they be hidden? (If someone wants no plants or fish-stands)

In general:

Content creators, please, if you do huge sets like this that includes props, please do a complete version and one without all the props and add a prop folder with all props as single items. I often need only a prop for a scene and have to load the complete set, delete everything that I do not need (if possible) and save it as a scene. That is not good.

All my content from DAZ has been installed via the DIM and I have not tried to organize it. (When I can't locate an item, I go to the DIM to see where it was installed. Thanks Havoc! for that tip.)

Because of this, I've stopped using G3F for anything nude which is a real shame. They are now solely used for fully clothed figures only.

Don't have time for looking through a bunch of pictures, then evaluating whether I got a good deal or no.

Sorry, no punch and gift card games for me. 

I'll wait until Daz does the simple simon game again where I don't have to buy something I don't need to get a best price on something I do need.

It's probably OK, if you don't have anything else to do.

I don't really care about textures, as most of the things I model just get a shader, but right now I'm stuck having to apply one shader to a whole object instead of being able to apply different shaders to each part of it.

I want something like this. 

I also tried loading it on M7 but it didn't seem to autofollow well.

Right now I am so frustrated with trying to use it that I would return it; but punch discounts were involved so that doesn't seem possible. So, if it is Iray only I guess I'll just have to keep it until next Christmas and maybe by then I'll be using IRAY

Thanks for any help.

Sitting there wondering if I could use all the morphs I have (which are a lot) to make my own 'Lee 6', I decided to try loading Hachiro and see what kind of errors I get and go from there.  It did error out with a message of not having Lee 6.  However, it did load a G2M with asian features very similar to Hachiro, the eyebrows, eyes, nose and others.  So my question is... how much of the 'base' character is really needed?  I got a G2M that looks pretty close to Hachiro without Lee 6 with just the add-on character.  What things would be missing without Lee 6 on my system?  UV?  Certain morphs?  I still had a huge amount of morphs available, including the aging ones I was specifically needing.  Granted, I didn't have time to do any kind of test render so I haven't seen how he's going to look, but it seems like it should be fine.

Very curious.

Thanks in advance!

Anybody else getting this this morning?  My card's perfectly good so it has to be a network or computer problem somewhere else.

I'm using a bank VISA card.

They have studs. I don't need studs. I'm going to be applying shaders. And yes, I find that I can apply a 3DL shader and then simply turn the studs off.

But the original gloves have Iray materiials, and eventually I'm going to want to turn off a matt zone when I'm working in Iray. I can't find an opacity setting to turn anything off from in the lists of iray settings. How do you turn off a matt zone in Iray?

...worth it? Looking for anything that will will give me REAListic skin.

Thanks

Can this work with Genesis 2 and 3 characters? If so, do I still have to get the Victoria 4.2 Morphs that the page says is required? I'm mostly just doing Genesis 3, if that matters.

Thanks,

Bob

Roxanne, Office Wear, Elegant Night Dress.  

I am a PC+ member and these 3 DAZ originals show in the store at 51% off with prices $8.80, $8.80 and $10.76.  When I put them in my cart I get prices $8.98, $8,98 and $7.68.  Roxanne and Office wear are more expensive in the cart then the store price and Elegan Night Dress has been given some discount. 

I have logged out and logged back in, but I see the same prices. 

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

The video card issues seem to be:

1. amount memory on the card (4 Gb seems to be the best price/performance for my needs)

2. core clock speed

3. require 2 HDMI ports

4. cooling issues and related fan noise

5. number of cuda cores

6. reliability and reputation of manufacturer

The person I spoke with at the PC dealer actually builds the custom systems they sell. He suggested one of three NVIDIA 970 cards from MSI, Strix, or EVGA. The MSI card is $418 and has a faster core clock speed. The Strix has a closer clock speed to the MSI and is a bit cheaper: $393. The EVGA has a slower clock speed and is $380. I knew about EVGA, but nothing about MSI and Strix. I read some reviews of the Strix card that were negative where people said that wished that had gotten the EVGA version, but they were relatively few. I just want to make sure that I go with the best reputation possible.

When I did some research, I found that there were many versions of the NVIDIA 970 with all kinds of specs from each manufacturer at varying prices. I am seeking guidance on how to determine which one will work best with DAZ Studio and IRAY in particular.

I have found that my IRAY rendering takes much longer than 3Delight on my current computer which is over five years old and has a video card with nowhere near the power of the ones I am looking at now. I find the rendering times for even 200 x 100 pixel renders with four lights and a figure is prohibitively slow using IRAY.

Add to this is the fact that I have had some discussions with some people I know who are DAZ vendors about their experiences with upgrading video cards. One mentioned that upgrading to the NVIDIA 970 4Gb card improved performance but it was not that big a jump from her NVIDIA 740 4Gb card (if I remember correctly). Since the 740 cards are quite a bit less, I was wondering if the 3x increase in price of the new 970 family of NVIDIA cards is really necessary or recommended.

I know the number of Cuda Cores is important and that the new cards have more. Also, as I understgand it, that if the DAZ Studio scene does not fit into the video card memory for IRAY rendering that the rendering is done with the CPU processing (which is much slower).

The thing that is most frustrating is that each manufacturer has multiple versions of the cards (five or more) with different features.

Here are the specs of cards that I am looking at (from the Newegg website):

Any help in deciding which video card to purchase would be greatly appreciated.

The one thing that has always bugged me about Smart Content is that it never lists clothing from older generations that would work on the newer, and I was wondering if this would now show everything in Smart Content (I get lost in the product library... nothing is where it would make sense) that would work across genders?  Of course, that would now make Smart Content a tremendous list of things to sort through... but still, it would be nice if it would at least show you the options.  As it stands, if you have a G3F selected you don't see anything other than G3F, not G2F or Genesis things that would work which really is annoying.

I like it,but don't feel it's worth the money, $34.95, with discount down to 20.97, so it's considered a $35 item? Take a look at the morphs, when the bed is shown with someone in it. Lieing down, the the character isn't that tall, and certainly not when sat up.

That sort of lack of attention to detail makes me nervous; this person is new to here, and  I would expect more from new PA. Now I know we all make mistakes, but this is more than one mistake.

I'm sorry, I know this is going to upset the person, but it needs to be said.

EDIT

If you want to judge what a $35 item looks like, check out Stonemason's items; they are incredible, and none are more than $40. The attention to detail is amazing, as is the attention to quality.
