Contact Info for Polish Workshop

sboyd2kus — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 23:13:20 +0000

Hi all!

I am wanting to contact Polish Workshop about the possible use of their SK-307 and Assault Rifle products in an Indie game project.

Also, I am interested in whether they will be converting their G2 Male poses to G3 male for those items.

>> Does anyone have their contact information?

Thanks,

Pet peeves with Content files

Xyetzt — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 01:52:45 +0000

I have two major pet peeves with content files. One is RSR files instead of PNG files for thumbnails and not saying who the item is for? and it is frustrating when it is combined. I cannot see what the thumbnail is and I have no clue who it is for because the name is too vague.

edit: figured out how to convert RSR into PNG, but still confused on the confusing file names.

prayer beads necklace

Viper016 — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 09:35:36 +0000

Like the one Akuma/Gouki has on in Street Fighter Series or other characters

I can't find any. Was there ever any made for M4/G1/G2???

Are they only named prayer beads?

Why, I just really like conforming figures and stuff xD but .obj are 100% fine too

G3 to G2 Pose Converter?

onimusha — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 01:53:50 +0000

I have one that does G2 to G3, but are there any that goes the opposite direction? Right now G2 is meeting the needs of my projects much better than G3, but people keep making poses for G3 that I'd like to use.

Thanks.

SY Ultra Templates Genesis 3 Female

exsillium_f9d4d3a5d5 — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 02:22:48 +0000

I purchased http://www.daz3d.com/sy-ultra-templates-for-genesis-3-female-s and recently was trying to use the auto-fit feature. I was using the guide included. When I was using the Tight Dress version, I got the following message.

Error Message: /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/Tools/Projection Templates/Dresses/UltraTemplates/SYUltraTightDressG3F/UV Sets/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/Tools/Projection Templates/Dresses/Base/default.dsf

I've tried it with the other two templates and its giving the same error. Looking through the files, the only one with something similair set up seemed to ne under the cape one.

I've gone through trying to find something in reference to the problem, but I haven't had any luck.

JM HumanShader for Iray (Eye surface shader) - Question

Ralf1958 — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:02:33 +0000

Hello! I bought the product and I am happy with it. Just a question about the "Eye surface shader". Is this shader supposed to be applyed on the eye reflection or what is it for? Or is it meant for the whole eye? I'm a bit confused since there are as well shaders for cornea, iris, pupil, sclera and lacrimal.

Thank you!

PC+ Discount missing on Daz Originals??

KA1 — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 18:17:01 +0000

Sooo PC+ items are still showing fine in the shop for me but any Daz Originals (i.e http://www.daz3d.com/a3-and-h3-shapes-for-genesis ) seem to have lost the 30% PC+ element?? Anyone else having this trouble?? I've had PC+ crash completely on me before but not just Daz Originals vs PC+ items themselves!!

Again No PC+ Discount on older DO sale items

Charlie Judge — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 01:53:03 +0000

I went to get these items before the featured artist sale ended only to find there isn't a PC+ discount on them anymore:just the artist discount:

http://www.daz3d.com/one-piece-bathing-suit-for-genesis-3-female-s

http://www.daz3d.com/street-casual-outfit-for-genesis-3-female-s

https://www.daz3d.com/ballerina-outfit-for-genesis-2-female-s

So now not only has the PC+ discount been taken away from the 'Happy Holidays' items it has been lost on other items I was interested in as well. Just getting 40% on the first 2 and 50% for my 3 punches on the last. So, once again ring up NO SALE for me.

Edited to add: Yes I tried logging out and back in several times. This sale is getting really discouraging.! Hope it will be fixed before the items go off the artist sale.

Favorites gone

cosmo71 — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 01:19:35 +0000

Slowly but surely I could puck. All favorited shape and pose morphs are gone again and are not longer under favorites when loading the scene with G3F and again it is not possible to add them new to favorites and have them under favorites after reopen the saved scene (saved with morphs added to favorites). And now I can start from scratch with a new G3F and have to fix all the paremeter settings new. Realy great. And the DAZ Support Team is also no help. Have written them this problem more than once and until now they have no clue.

The Last Stand Discounts?

Charlie Judge — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:18:20 +0000

Well, some of the 'Happy Holidays' 75% discount items have had aan introductory discount and some haven't. The latest one, The Last Stand, has a fairly late SKU but NO introductory discount. Is it supposed to have one?

Yes I know the 75% Holiday discount is already pretty significant; but with a hefty base price the discounted price still comes to well over $6 even with the PC+ discount (or over $9 without the PC discount). Plus an additional qualifying purchase ($2+ is the cheapest qualifier I could find) is required. So, unless DAZ adds the 30% intro discount, I may just have to pass on this one

MjcSkySphere

mcorr — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 19:46:50 +0000

I'd really ike to use MjcSkySphere (available in the freebies section), but can't get it to work. After I load it, the scene renders black, although I am in the sphere and can see the scene mapped to the sphere. Does anybody know what am I doing wrong?

Shader Question

Cricket — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 22:56:14 +0000

Is there a way to add a shader to an item, like a shirt, without losing the texture already applied in DazStudio? I tried pressing "Ctrl" when I applied the shader, and selecting "ignore" from the dropdown, but that doesn't really do what I thought it would.

Can you fit Genesis on Genesis 2?

Oso3D — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 23:13:24 +0000

Preliminary results suggest 'your computer will excrete kittens if you try,' even with both set to Base.

Is there a way?

I'm trying to get a Genesis 'skin' on a Genesis 2 figure for UV purposes (spending YET ANOTHER $50 on compatibility is snapping my patience, to get M/V4 stuff onto Genesis 2)

3 new freebies on threednd

Dodger — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 18:06:13 +0000

There are three new freebie monsters/aliens on www.threednd.com!

First there's the dreaded Bulette (aka Landshark, but not the kind with Chevy Chase inside) from D&D

Next up, the horrific Gharton, a carnivorous giant insect from the AdventureQuest RPG.

Finally, there's the Dralasite, a friendly amoeboid alien from Star Frontiers.

All fully posable, all 100% free!

(Figures are set up for Poser and will require weight map conversion for best use in DS)

Working with Skin Tones

Working with 3D (and DAZ): One 4K screen or 2 QHD Screen?

boisselazon — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 15:15:00 +0000

Hi,

I'm asking to more experienced users. I'm using actually Daz3D studio and photoshop. Maybe in the (near) future some other solutions (zbrush? Max/maya? cinema4D etc..). Considering the real desk roon available is not a problem, what is the most interesting solution:

- One 40" screen with a 4K resolution

- or two 27" QHD (2560*1440) monitors

In term of cost, it is almost the same (well, the 40" is a bit cheaper, I'm speaking about the philips and/or the iiyama )

The pitch is almost the same, making for both solutions the native resolution readable.

I'm actually using a 27" QHD screen. Please, share your experience ;-)

Question about Buzzed Hair by Hellboy

ModernWizard — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:19:47 +0000

This looks extra super awesome and possibly like a long-sought digital representation of my own hair after it's grown out for a few weeks...but I need to know one thing. I can't really figure this out from the promos. Is there an option to make this hairstyle have the same length of hair over the entire scalp [forehead and nape of neck included]? Any more information would be great.

Does AoA Grass Shader work with Iray?

Eva1 — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 08:45:01 +0000

Hi, as the title says, I'd like to know if it's possible to use the AoA Grass Shader in Iray. I suspect the answer will be no as it looks like it's a custom shader, but thought I'd ask in case somone's found a work around.

Exporting, maps, color IDs...lots of questions

SnowSultan — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 03:32:25 +0000

There are a couple of things about additional maps and Studio exporting that I have not been able to find information about, and I'm really hoping someone might be able to help with.

* Can you set Color IDs when exporting something from Studio so that a 3D painter or other program will recognize them?

* Every time I try exporting something from Studio, in either DAE or OBJ format and have "Collect maps" checked, only the Diffuse map is collected. No specular, no bump, no normals. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

* And the real mystery - can someone explain (and in relatively straightforward terms) how someone would generate ambient occlusion or curvature maps from a product (like a DAZ one) that they did not model themselves? I assume you would export an OBJ and take it to Blender or another modeler, but I don't know what needs to be done from there.

* bonus question: is it possible to bring an object with multiple UV maps (like a DAZ figure or many other items) into Marmoset Toolbag 2? It doesn't sound like it's possible, but that seems like a huge limitation for a powerful external renderer.

Thanks in advance for help with any of these.

A Question About The V4 and Genesis Fantasy Wraps

riftwitch — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 00:04:08 +0000

I noticed that both of these products look the same, so I was wondering if they can use the same texture sets, the way the different versions of the MFD can. Here's the links:

http://www.daz3d.com/fantasy-wrap-for-genesis

http://www.daz3d.com/fantasy-wrap-for-v4

I've seen some texture sets for the V4 version, and I was hoping I could use them on the Genesis version. The fantasy wrap for G3F is cleary not an interation of these first two, and there doesn't seem to be one for G2F: http://www.daz3d.com/fantasy-wrap-for-genesis-3-female-s

Looking for Greek exteriors.

OrionPax09 — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 00:55:13 +0000

The title pretty much sums it up. I'm looking for background that are Greek in origin for a project, Buildings, statues, that sort of thing. Any chance anybody could point me in the right direction?

Edit: To be specific, I'm looking for ancient temples, buildings, and monuments that look the way they did when first built.

Now No Featured PA discount

Charlie Judge — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 00:29:14 +0000

I can't win. The PC+ discount was finally restored but now I'm not seeing the discount for featured artist (at least for the things I want from NikiSatz) I see the 30% discount for PC+ but not the 50% discount on 2015 items for my 3 punches.

Edited to add also no discount for IHKANG
