I'm loving it.

Nicely done, easy and clean. Here's a quick and simple test render.

Thanks for the awesome product! How about some indepth dungeony ones some day?

i've tried on/off. tried on/off on genesis.

2nd screen shot, i've nevvver noticed the little unpose guy :lol:

i can't figure out how to copy a pose between vickies. i'm saving as a preset to apply it, :shut:

But Isolde has no scroll, but two options: mat Isolde and Mat Isolde-NoShaders

Which one is better in Daz?

Brachiosaurus:

but readme's are showing no changes at all.

Does anyone who has d/l the updated files know what the changes are?

http://www.floobynooby.blogspot.ca/2013/12/the-cinematography-of-incredibles-part-1.html

Alot of good info here.
They talk mostly about setting up for animation....but i see alot of info that could be good for still renders, and definitely for sequential art like comics.

File not found

Firefox can't find the file at daz3dim://download/462d2cfbb38e3de335557b09e8eb99a5/product_id/3381,17318.

Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

Is there a problem with the download address, or is this something about FireFox?

Any suggestions to fix this?

I got stuck at this specfiic part:

Other Restrictions. This Agreement is User’s proof of license to exercise the rights granted herein and may be printed and retained by User. User shall not give, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or distribute any Content on a temporary or permanent basis without the prior written consent of DAZ.

In the current version of the EULA the capital letters in front of each paragraph are missing.

In the current version of the EULA it is not possible to tell what exactly "Section E" is.

I checked with an EULA version of 2013 and there under 1.0 General License Agreement Section E were the paragraphs under TERMS of USE.

Is this a known issue and DAZ legal staff is allready aware of it?

or

Should I open up a new support ticket about this?

- - -

I am aware that for discussing legal issues a 3d forum may not be the optimal place.
Forum moderators cannot be expected to have the time and energy to read trough lenghty posts with legal terms that may make their head spin.

Nevertheless I also do not want to waste the time of the DAZ support staff with questions that could have simply be clarfied by someone on the forum.

This one - http://www.daz3d.com/made-in-japan-bundle - claims to contain that one - http://www.daz3d.com/anime-bundle; indeed, the second one is listed as contents of the first one (see "This product is in these bundles"). Just... prices don't match the contents. I understand that bundles are slightly cheaper than separate products, but a bigger bundle shouldn't be considerably cheaper than a smaller one.

What's the deal with those?

thanks.

looks a really nice set :)

I was able to logon and process some products.

I noticed that the path for the Carrara products was wrong, i corrected it and a few other errors.

Rather than search through to find each effected product, I simply uninstalled everything and started a full download of all 1173 items.

This started just fine, so I left it to run while I went to do other things.

Somewhere along the way there seems to have had a problem, because the screen went black - Windows died.

I restarted, Win 7 came up, and I restarted DIM. My logon name came up and asked for the password.

DIM would not accept the password. I tried 3 times, did not work. I went to DAZ, used the password to log on, and it worked fine.

I uninstalled DIM, downloaded the installer and ran it. Installed fine...and it still wouldn't accept the password.

Is there a file that DIM uses for the account info, and can I remove it so I can do a full new install and enter the account again.?

Is there a way to reset accounts in DIM?

Is there a way to reset v4 without losing my pose?

Where are the lipsync keyframes from Mimic Live and how can I shift them forward or backward in the timeline?

Thanks,
Neole

Thanks,

When a vendor uses the simple screen in DAZ Studio to create the Poser Companion Files for their product, it is safe to assume that they have tested their product in Poser. I know some vendors never used Poser, so it is understandable why they don't create for Poser. There are others who have Poser experience, but threw it away. However, there are those vendors who turned their Poser experience into an asset. And, they, in turn, are rewarded with a wide customer base.

I have created Poser Companion Files for DAZ content. From poses to characters to props, I have imported them into Poser. Experience taught me that poses import into Poser the best, but materials/shaders have the most trouble. Simple textures, transparencies, and bump maps do import very well. I have seen some vendors, who wanted more complex materials, make native poser material files. That attention to detail that will have me buy from them again.

Here is my list of vendors that is by no way comprehensive.

OutOfTouch
SWAM
Ironman13
Bobbie25
Sarsa
Charlie
Parris
Nikisatez

Your efforts made me a loyal customer. And I look forward to what you'll bring out in 2015.

Thanks!

After upgrading my MAC to an IMac retina 5K - I resisted using TimeMachine to reinstall and installed DAZ Studio and my entire DAZ Library from scratch. Hooray for DAZ3DIM which made days of work complete in minutes and what a surprise … DAZ Studio was efficient and worked like a professional program.

Reinstallation is a pain in the neck but so worth it. DAZ deserves recognition for every step in my success to turn things around. They keep records of my purchases and mine went back to (I think) 2001. (I used Poser and transitioned to DS.) They allowed me access to their servers to download my products. They created a downloader to handle the mess of download and the installation process easily. They gave me access to my product serial numbers and updated the program from the shell that it was to a relevant functioning professional product.

There is a lesson here …. cleaning house makes a great difference to your workflow. And I’m back to DAZ … made my first new purchase late last week.

(Now, if only DAZ would update my old friend Bryce :)

A note of thanks,
Barb

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. For those of you who have heard me, I'm not trying to start something. This is my way of protesting.

Daz did it to me again. I purchased content and now, when I am in a mode to download, the company puts up an accept or not accept EULA for everything I have bought from day one to now. I have to click ok on the thing to get stuff I paid money for even if I don't have time to read it.

I feel it is holding "my" content hostage.

I cannot seem to find a way around this EULA to be able to download content.

I cannot emphasize enough that I do not like this practice and that I feel it should be considered either illegal or unethical. It discourages the reading of the EULA to such a degree where the EULA can potentially be considered uninforceable. People already have their money invested and this comes up after that fact. A EULA should come up prior to the action of purchasing content, or if you want to hold past content hostage the customer should be given a reasonable period or number of access times to read it and accept the changes or not. Further the changes being made should be disclosed from what was agreed to previously, and money should be refunded if the conditions become unacceptable.

I am stating to the world that I am not reading it this time. I am tired and I want to enjoy content this weekend. So I am just going to click ok on whatever it says - because that is apparently what I am expected to do (though I am making a copy in case this action comes back to affect me) without reading it in advance. I am clicking ok not because I necessarily agree to what it says, but because I want access to what I have purchased, which is probably what most other customers do.

I don't know of any other company that uses this practice, after purchase and for a whole library.

I am telling you this DAZ to make you better and, I feel, more ethical, for something that some people consider legally binding but which is quite obviously being treated in practice as lengthy documentation not intended to be read.

I will probably say this again if this happens again. Because I want to be on record that there should be a better way.

Does the jacket come with morphs to open the zipper?

If not, then the set is pretty much useless to me.

I've looked all over, but that gathered neckline just doesn't seem to exist...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

PS What's that: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/11750/start? It is not in the shop.

Thanks for any help,

I am sure there is a correct way to do this and I am just missing it.

I have a picture that I have placed onto a plane primitive. I want it to be mounted wall art in a scene, so I used 4 cube primitives to turn into the 4 sides of the picture frame, and shaded them with a wood shader. It looks great. I then parented all the frame edges to the plane primitive. Now the picture all moves together, all good so far.

But then if I try to export it as say a prop asset, only the picture (or whatever I have selected) is saved, not the frame edges. I know I can save them as a "scene subset" but is there some way I can also just save them as one single prop?

IS THE BETTER WAY TO GO, to scale Them down, and place them in a regular sized setting (table, stuff around them). Or to keep them regular sized, and scale up the background stuff?

Does it matter? Will one way give me better performance from the program?
Will one way give me better detail on the figures?

Now, I need help with the DSON Importer.

Following the DSON User Guide, I've figured out how to install the scripts. What I'm having trouble with is Step 3 - What Else Do I Need?.

That section references two files that it claims are included with the DSON Importer, but I've discovered are actually not:

Genesis Starter Essentials
Genesis Starter Essentials for Poser

They are no longer included in the list of files to download with the Importer, and are not part of the Importer's installer, either. They are, however, listed separately in my Product Library. The problem is, none of the files are installers anymore. They're all zips, making Section 3 of the User Guide useless.

As an aside, I also have the Genesis 2 Starter Essentials.

I have four questions:

1) Do I need the Genesis Starter Essentials to use the DSON, or can I discard them and just use Genesis 2?
2) Where is Genesis content supposed to go in order for Poser to see it?
3) How do I identify DSON-compatible content when shopping?
4) How are Poser companion files labeled for compatible products?
