No seeing the extra 5%-10% discount for today?

Sylvan — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 13:30:34 +0000

I am having trouble to get the extra 5%-10% discount for today's purchases. It doesn't matter how many items I toss in my cart, I'm not seeing an extra discount?
I have 3 new mad items in my cart, that should give me the extra 10% right?

For some reason I cannot log-on to the Documentation center to access the tutorials. It keeps telling me that my username and password is wrong!! I have cookies enabled as well.
Any ideas....

March Madness - Gargoyles for G2F - No discount?

Xandyr78 — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:29:50 +0000

I've gotten my email for today's MM releases...I added Gargoyles for G2F to my cart (along with TWO other items from the email, all on "Newly Mad" status), but the discount is definitely NOT 50%. Gargoyles lists as base price $18.95, and my cart shows it as 12.18, so a 30% discount is applying, but not a full 50%. Can anyone assist?

How Do Today's Discounts Work- Stack?

Novica — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 09:46:47 +0000

I get an extra 10% for having bought both bundles, then if you add these extra Newly Mad items you get discounts on "March Madness." (3 of them is 10%) They don't include new releases. So discounts on March Madness means the featured stores?

Well, I already get 50% for buying 2+ of todays featured MMs, then 10% for having both bundles, and with 3 of the Newly Mad, I should be getting another 10% on that. Correct?

Has anyone checked to see if this is happening?

Thread Search?

Ippotamus — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 05:05:00 +0000

There are some monstrous threads I am following that are holding and hiding information I need.
Is there any way to do just a thread search and not a forum search?

Getting genesis 2 animations into maya

TheKD — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 00:45:16 +0000

Is there any way to do this? FBX and DAE the bends look horrible. ABC mesh shape looks wonderful, but no matter what I do, I cannot get it to render. I tried attaching every type of shader imaginable to the shading groups, but nothing but blackness as if it isn't there, in vray, mentalray or even regular render.

Iray and default lighting [Solved]

j_koko2_f2572d4e05 — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 04:22:45 +0000

Hi!

Just started playing with 4.8 beta and Iray.

Having an issue where I have no lights in the scene and I am still seeing light on the model.

I have turned environment to Scene only. Deleted all the meshlights I created, however I'm still seeing light.

Where is it coming from? :)

It's driving me nuts!

Shader advice/help please

Ikyoto — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 15:30:19 +0000

Any shader advice for room temp/runny yogurt? I need thick gels for some sci-fi stuff and post work only goes so far. Sticky slop drips do cast somewhat of a shadow.

The first image on a google search of "flax seed gel" is close, but a touch too thick, but livable. I'd like it in glowing blue ( high ambiance).

Searching for a Lilac model

I'm working on a tribute project for the late Terry Pratchett, but it's been very difficult to locate that specific flower.

Thank you for any assistance!

So whatever happened to GoFigure?

Jonstark — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 00:33:48 +0000

I've slowly gotten into animation, and ended up picking up a few of the aniblock sets from GoFigure for V4 and M4 that I don't have and thought might be useful, but it struck me they don't have much (any?) in the way of aniblock sets for Genesis and Genesis2, and seems to me there hasn't been much new from them on that front for quite a while. Took a peek at their website, but looks like it's been years since any posts. I prefer V4/M4, so it's not an issue for me, but it looks like other mocap vendors (bonetech, posermocap) have more recent sets that are specifically for Genesis2, wondered why GoFigure doesn't have more sets, and specifically more sets for more recent figures. Maybe the GoFigure folks who developed the whole aniblock system have moved on? Just curious if anyone knows or has heard anything from them recently.

Also with the advent of Kinect and the way mocap technology is moving forward, I wonder if in the near future mocap is something anyone can do in their basement, and if so whether that will adversely effect aniblock sales for vendors.

Spa Sauna - Free Iray Scene (for 4.8 beta)

Dumor3D — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 13:54:18 +0000

The Spa Suana has built in lights for use with physically based render engines such as Luxrender, Octane and of course Iray. I thought I would post a free scene for use with the Spa Sauna, which has everything set to work with Iray. This will allow you to have an out of the box solution for Iray when using the product.

Note: DAZ Studio 4.8 beta is a beta and is subject to change. It is possible that this will not work properly in the future.

Requirements:

DAZ Studio 4.8 Public Beta

Spa Sauna

I know the love that is the 10 Metre Cube

ghastlycomic — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:23:54 +0000

What a wonderfully simple and useful prop a 10 Metre Cube is if you make a separate surface for each face and make the UV map for each surface a full image square. 10 Metres makes it very easy to scale and translate and works great for background architecture that's not very polygon intensive. Just make a square render of the front and side surfaces of a high poly architect mode you want to use as a background model and then put them on the surfaces of the cube and stack the cubes together like building blocks.

I should have made one of these sooner!

Rearranging list of item parts

Taoz — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 02:31:31 +0000

Is it possible to rearrange the parts on this list (see screenshot)?

All the parts shown here and many more belongs to the same item and I find it annoying to have to scrool through them all every time I want to select another item in the scene. Would be much easier if you could (or it artists would) put all parts of an item into one main folder which you can expand if you want to select a part of that item.

What does "All Artists in Our Store" mean?

twalling — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 06:26:11 +0000

I got an email saying "all artists in our store" are on sale 40% for one item, 50% for two.

I went and put an item from Firstbastion in my cart, and no discount was reflected.

Is it a glitch, or false advertising?

Installing Reality 2.5

larrygilman — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 00:45:33 +0000

Hi All,
I am having a bit of a problem installing Reality 2.5 in DAZ 4.7.
I will apologize in advance if this has been asked before.
The problem is it is not showing in either in my laptop or my desktop. The software seemed to have installed correctly. When I started DAZ I was asked to register. And that went smoothly. But when I go to Shaping/Rendering > Render Setting > Editor, I only see Basic Open GL, Intermediate OpenGL, 3Delight, Scripted 3Delight, and LuxRender via Luxus...but no Reality.
I am presently stuck at page 12, any ideas on what I may have done or not done.

Many Thanks in Advance!!!

How were these crystals made?

Sorel — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 12:31:17 +0000

The crystals in the Iray promo here show glowing crystals. I render in octane and I would possibly like an idea of how the material for these are setup. I'm trying a mix material setup of specular+diffuse (diffuse for the emission that the crystals seem to have). Or are they just regular glass materials with a light emitting object placed in them?

With all this IRay hype... How difficult is it?

Testing6790 — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:52:38 +0000

I've never used a rendering engine that wasn't 3Delight and my material settings knowledge boils down to diffuse maps, bump maps and opacity maps. Is it like Octane, with a brand-new learning curve and a wall of settings, or is it a plugin that's easy to use like 3Delight?

help with Iray Latitude/logitude

dyret — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 02:35:12 +0000

When I set the propper vallues for latitude longitude in the render settings and the set the time to say 11.00 the render turns black. what am i doing wrong? When I set the time to something like 07.00 the light seems right for my city at that time. Settig values in the tone mapping to make the lights brighter makes the sky go totaly white.

Help to create enemy alien/s for a video contest.

synthahol — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 17:37:04 +0000

Hi,

I have a storyline here:

http://videofeedback4.blogspot.com/

and am interested in entering this video contest:

https://imagination.usa.canon.com/home

I would like to create the introduction paragraph at the top of the blog page. To do this I need to have the awesome alien ship, with others arriving. There is another part of this as well, another moment in time when I was awakened by a roommate, apparently talking to myself, and saying "they're coming, they're coming..."

I can provide video and still shots, and editing to pull most of it together, and I believe I can recreate the "sleep" sequence mentioned above. I do not have the expertise to create the alien ships arriving in the sky, nor aliens on the ground, and humans running.

Can anyone help me please?

More store weirdness...solved.

mjc1016 — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:00:10 +0000

Okay, here's the lowdown...

I got coupon for $5 off a $10+ order in my email. So I go, add two MM items to the cart and plug in the coupon code. No problem, the $5 is taken off the total, the MM discount is working correctly and everything...good to go. Well, no...I then go and add M6. He shows up free, like he's supposed to, except instead of $5 off I now get $1.50 off?

Yep, you read that correctly...my total jumps about $3.50 when M6 is in my cart.

I know that he isn't going to last much longer, so filing a ticket will probably miss him...

Is there a way to do this without having to wait until Monday or Tuesday?
