There's only one problem... The mane.

I haven't really done much horse-related art in the past, which usually means doing an image search for the animal in question for reference. The thing is, Daz Horse 2 comes with not one, but two manes: One for the left and one for the right. I hadn't really examined that side of things when I purchased it, but all the pictures I've found of horses don't really indicate if, in real-life, the mane would typically just be over one side or, like human hair, spread over both.

So, should I typically add both the left and right mane (in which case, I'd wonder why Daz split it up)? Or do real horses usually have the mane over just one side or the other?

Daz3d wouldn't have to do anything, but provide an embed field to developers.

Reallusion has done this for years, and it really makes alot of difference when you are producing animation.

I have seen many content items that have interesting images, The items are not cheap and I don't know how they will produce in animated scenarios. I see content items that would be exciting to use in videos, but I have no idea how they will render in videos or even work.

If this isn't possible with DAZ3d, the developers/artists should create video clips, post them on youtube, and provide a link in their content information.

By doing this it should enable more sales of content items by developers and artists. As it is, those with the flexibility needed for animation are lumped with static scene content items.

Animated videos are the future. The youtube is the second largest search engine, and the number of youtube users is enormous.

People love movies.

Thanks in advance....

The Village Courtyard looks like it would make a nice palace or government complex courtyard, but I see a lot of potential for kit bashing as well, provided the artist allowed for it in his design.

I see no difference.

I don't have the Gianni HD add-on. does that mean i'm not getting full benefit of like EJ Drago HD for Gianni 6?

thanks!

Thanks.

I know nothing about POSER, but I do notice constant referrals and information about POSER on the forums and in content items.

Is this something I should think seriously about?

I would appreciate to read any discussions on this, or links to information.

The problem I have is a strange one. From DAZ Studio I export a .obj of G2F (base resolution, Zero subdiv, etc.) and then another .obj for an item of clothing. Sometimes I am able to sculpt (Blender Sculpt tool) a morph on the clothing while the underlying G2F mesh is unaffected. But other times the clothing mesh and the G2F figure become a single mesh and if I drag polygons on the cloth the surface of G2F is also dragged.

I can't figure out why it seems to work sometimes and other times it doesn't. Does anyone know of a setting in Blender to make the two meshes separate? In ZBrush this was simple but Blender is anything but simple. I have tried Sculptris but keep getting errors about triangles and have given up on that.

What do you guys think? :)

I have a limited budget so I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck, but the current sales are sooo close, yet seem sooo far away.

My issue is 2 parts:

pt 1: could you please post with/on the banner ad when said offer expires? I missed the M6 give-a-way because I couldn't find when the last day for M6 was, and the offers that day really didn't fit my needs, so instead of buying some things that would be mildly useful, I held off. This of course was my own fault, and I'm only slightly bummed, as M6 would have been nice, but not critical for my needs.

However, with the Genesis stuff sale, There are a lot of good deals but at the moment nothing even remotely useful in the madness section for my needs. I'd be upset if I missed out on the Genesis stuff sale because I held off until tomorrow in the hopes of better madness items, and the genesis sale ends. All I've been able to find is "For a Limited time" for sale length.

Pt 2: I'm pretty sure this is deliberate, but really, anything I could find usable in the Madness section for the freebie only seems to show up while I could care less about the freebie.... Nothing while M6 was up for grabs, Several things I'd have liked for the pool, and a couple items for the lift, (neither the pool or the lift interests me) yet now that there is a sale I'd like to take advantage of, nothing again... oh well, such is life I guess....

Iwant to take advantage of the 8 hour sale, but I get this error message on checkout. Please help ASAP!

Edit: Worked when I used a different card and removed spaces. When I did that with the card used when I made this thread, it said it was declined, even though it worked fine on RDNA.
Edit 2: Turns out this card was skimmed as well, both during the recent Renderosity scandal, most likely. It was only used here, on Amazon, and on Renderosity, so both cards were skimmed at one of those sites. The date of the skimming was on the 23rd, so if you made a Rendo purchase on or before that date with your CC, then you need to call your CC company and make sure there are no fraudulent charges.

can anyone point me in the right direction - what is the outfit used in Svengar for Gianni 6 promo picture? http://www.daz3d.com/svengar-for-gianni-6

I really tried to find it on my own, but failed.
Thank you.

You can vote for any entries except for you own entries, and we vote in two categories, Best and Funniest. Best is more of a traditional render contest voting where funniest more takes the humorous look at the image. Some images have a few lines of text explaining the story behind them, which often helps the voting, specially in the funniest category.

So, what are we voting about? What are the prizes?

Winners in each category:
- One item from Dumor3D's store
- One item from Totte’s store.
- $60 DAZ Store GC

Second place in each category: $35 DAZ Store GC
Third place in each category: $15 DAZ Store GC

And the grand winner, with most total votes in both categories, all entries counted: One item from Antfarm's store.

Each win will also give the winner a sticky Lucky Bastard pull, which means the next round will be a little harder.

Entries are found here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/52006/
Voting is done here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WMFSLSF

The voting starts now, and ends Sunday, March 22 at 23:59:59 DAZ Time.

UPDATE: how votes are tallied and summed up:

Voting points: 1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 points, 3rd = 3 Points, 4th = 2 Points and Tiebreaker = 1 Point.

If an image gets 1st, two 2nd, one 4th and two tiebreakers in a category, that is 5 + 2x4 + 2 + 2x1 = 17 Points
Every image points per category is summed up, and top three is calcutaled in each category.
If two images by the same artist hits top three, only the highest ranking one is valid, and the others are removed from the top three list, leaving the space for those close behind.

For the grand prize, all points for all images per artist are summed up.

? why the gift card isn't going through but getting the cloudflare bad gateway page in the midst of all just isn't helping either.

Sorry to the camel maker, I really wanted that.

bye.

....

Finally ... except with the exchange rate we're 40 cents short so still no purchase of camel. [wanted a 2.99 item with it of course]
I'll wait out Fastgrab.

I am struggeling so much with finding the right item among Posing / Shaping and Parameters.

I need around 15 seconds to find the right item in one of these tabs, and I can never remember which one it was.

For example, I want to change the size of the nose of my character. Did you ever try that, and did you suceed doing that within 5 seconds? I did not.

May I ask why Posing / Shaping and Parameters are separated?
It would make much sense to me to put them all together in one tab.

Users would not have to switch tabs anymore.

And I would very much like to suggest to not have the combobox for the selected item be on top of the menu.
For example, when you have a character with 5 props, you struggle a lot to find the right props and then the correct shaping / morph setting.

I would really like to suggest that there should be no combobox on top but that the items themselves are shown under the tabs.
I am not sure if I could express myself well, but I think if you use DAZ a lot, you will know what I mean.

Thank you.

I have attached a screenshot of the madness.
As you can see, a click of all 3 of these items reveal the same sub-items.
This is just confusing and time-taking.

On the muscle maps for M4, there is a line through the head which I think is the join line showing.

There was a post about this before which I think said to reduce the shading rate to 0.2, but I can't find that post anywhere.

even with low shading rate it is still showing, and the bump and displacements are the same on all the texture maps etc.

Can't find anything that is helping so far so wondering if there are any suggestions.

Thanks

Richard

Just in case we hit p100 on the old thread with me AWOL I decided I'd better start a new thread.

So, welcome to the new thread folks. If you can render it, be it in DS, Reality, Luxus, Bryce, Vue or Poser then you are more than welcome to post it here. We can also share tips and techniques, so, if you don't mind sharing how you created your masterpiece, feel free to tell all about the creative process. If there's anything you need to know, we 'RR.. Not' folk are a talented and knowledgeable bunch, so, if you come unstuck we might just be able to help.

Ok, you know the drill now, so post away folks, I look forward to seeing your work

CHEERS!

Old thread: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/18613/P1470/

In this tutorial, you'll find out how to map your character's rig from a standard Maya HumanIK format, and import it into iClone with basic eye and jaw movements.

I would like to export my model in a different resolution.
However, there is no option to do that.

When I export the fbx, the dialog tells me that the model uses around 20.000 polys, but I have set the model to a different resolution.

Can anybody tell me how I can export it at a different resolution?

Thank you!

I am new to DAZ and am looking to create a logo for a Foundation my wife and I are starting for Breast Cancer (well, really all types), and i would like to create a sword with with the name of the Foundation etched in it and also change the look of the handle. but it doesnt look like i can do that in here. is there another program that i can create my own sword or edit one of the swords in here?? thanks in advance for your help.

but until some intrepid soul builds a software bridge to get shaders out of DS into Renderman it's not going to do much but render textureless .RIB scene.

What are Still Mad or Newly Mad Items?

I basically pay little or no attention to the DAZ3D sales
I don't agree with having to buy something I don't need to buy something I could use or need.

Whoever puts these sales together must be from another planet.

What is wrong with clear explanations?

Yes, I would like to buy some Genesis items at a reduced price, forget it.
