Is there a fast way to convert G8 character to G8.1, using new PBR skin and G8.1 feature?

Is there a fast way to convert G8 character to G8.1, using new PBR skin and G8.1 feature?

Let's say I have a favorite Genesis 8 character, but I want it to use the new g8.1 PBR skin shader. Is there a way I can just click once or twice, and it just turns the G8 character into Genesis 8.1, without me having to do any work?

See this? https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/467571/howto-create-missing-genesis-8-1-head-skin-maps-from-genesis-8-3-skin-maps#latest - I don't want to go through a 50 step process, every time I want to use a Genesis 8 character with the new PBR 8.1 skin shader.

Has anyone made any tool or kit, that lets you quickly just load a G8 character into a G8.1 ready to go version?

Time for products to get into Flash Sales expanded?

Rod Wise Driggo — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 22:06:55 +0000

I have quite some DAZ originals in my withlist but none of them was included with recent Flash Sales. I think in the past a 60 days old product was also part of Flash Sales. Nowadays it seems that products need to be some additional months old to be included with flash sales, right?

What is the default hair show in the Genesis 8.1 male bundle?

vozolgant — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 20:53:30 +0000

What hair is this?

Why show it, but not specify where to find it? Especially since it's Genesis 8.1 male's main hair. Why isn't it part of any bundle, or maybe it is? This stuff is too hard to find.

Looking for some patches ...

WillowRaven — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 18:19:13 +0000

I need patches for uniforms, like insignia or ranks or shields worn on the upper arms/shoulder area, I need them for both v4 and m4 if possible, and preferably usable on any shirt I may dress them in. Anyone know of anything like that?

Uninstalling parts of a product

sgw1421 — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 14:44:57 +0000

Hi,

Is there a way from with in DAZ Studio to uninstall/delete unneeded parts of a product? I am using IRay rendering exclusively and want to get rid of all the 3Delight maps to free up space. I know that I can delete files manually, but I don't want to break the product database.
I am tempted to delete these files manually and the open the metadata for that product and remove the deleted files from the list of assests. Would that work?

Thanks,

Stefan

Is there a way to adjust facial features with your mouse?

Hello,

I currently dial morphs to make the character faces. But is there a way to just click on a feature and use the mouse to scale, stretch or rotate it? I know there is the Universal tool, but that is for posing

Site for multiple connected 360 panorama?

akmerlow — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 11:12:12 +0000

Is there a website that allows upload a set of connected 360 degree panoramas?

I know you can upload "just" solely panorama 360 to ArtStation or even Facebook, but i wonder if there is website that allows you to link those in a way, similar to how GoogleMaps 360 photo paths work.

Green shadows in Studio - why and how do I get rid of them?

Ptrope — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 01:51:01 +0000

I am getting green shadows on a G8F character in Studio - her hair and clothing both are casting them. I've seen this previously, 2 or 3 years ago, but not since, so when it presented this time it was a bit of a surprise. Any reason for these, and how can I prevent them? It's an Iray render with basic setup, no lights, just the dome, emissive materials and a camera headlamp. The character is "Ellie Young", purchased at Renderhub - all the materials look great in Iray preview mode, but in a render, green shadows on her skin (in general, the Iray render is inferior to the preview - very flat).

Complete Your Bundle Library Sale

IceCrMn — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 22:34:08 +0000

I just picked up numerous starter bundles for which I already own the Pro bundle for.

Hope this doesn't turn out like the last time this offer was active.

It would be much more convenient if the store would readily filter those bundles for me seeing as I already got all the content when I bought the pro bundle versions anyway.

How to Change Background Photo's WEATHER ?

Fauvist — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 18:30:32 +0000

When you're using a background photograph or an HDRI background to surround a house with huge windows - how do you make it look like it isn't a static photograph - weatherwise? A background photograph or HDRI of a forest or a beach - the clouds stay in exactly the same position, If you need to make a series of renders in a room with huge windows, it looks absurd to have exactly the same image for the background for every hour of the day, and the weather never changes. Is there somewhere to get HDRIs that are EXACTLY the same location and position, but at different times of day, and with the clouds in a variety of configurations?

Is this expected behaviour

amaragh2 — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:16:55 +0000

I have a question about this product : https://www.daz3d.com/twizted-skins-merchant-resource. Its advertised to work with genesis 8, however when I use the overlay with my genesis 8 figures the texture colours don't blend with the figures original skin, the none white area of the overlay is a different colour from the original characters skin. However when i use it on a genesis 8.1 character everything blends as expected with the characters skin when using the overlay. Am I using the product incorrectly with the genesis 8 figures?

What is your favorite 3Delight character skin texture.

kwannie — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 19:34:45 +0000

I have recently started using 3Delight again and I like how I can use many of the old products with ease. I have however found myself fiddling with the character skin settings a lot. I was wondering which character do any of you think has the best 3Deligt skin, preferably G3 and G8, but whatever yeilds great 3Delight results. It seems that lighter skin is very difficult to tweak in 3Delight, and getting the specular settings right changes every time a lght shines at just a slightly different angle. So what is your favorite 3Delight skin

My Daz Interface Changed on its Own and I Cant Find Certain Things [Solved]

felixtrey2003 — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 01:17:12 +0000

As the title suggests, I opened up Daz today and the interface seems to have changed a lot. The arrangement of the dropdown menus are not only in a strange order, but some elements appear to be misplaced / missing. The thing that has caused me to seek help is the lack of Convert to SubD button.

Before you could go to Edit > Object/Figure > Convert to SubD. But that option seems to be gone? I have no idea why my interface changed like this but it's been annoying to get used to.

Where is the "Convert to SubD" option now?

EDIT: To be clear, I want to the ability to turn a base resolution mesh into a high resolution mesh. That was the function of the 'Convert to SubD' option in the past. If there is any means of doing thatin this weird version of Daz, please let me know.

Outdoor scenes

rnollman — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 17:04:27 +0000

I am looking for recommendations for tutorials to understand the different kinds of products for outdoor lighting. I also am looking for recommendations for easy-to-use programs to set up scenes for outdoor lighting. I want to be able to create different types of outdoor environments, such as a cloudy day, sunny day at noon, sunny day with afternoon shadows, night and so on. I specifically want to use 3D Universe Toon characters for children's book illustrations.

I found this product: Iray Sun-Sky System: https://www.daz3d.com/iray-sun-sky-system. I would appreciate any experiences that people might have had with this product.

Are there others like it that are better?

How can I fix missing thumbnail images in Smart Content?

mavante — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 08:22:59 +0000

I have a few products installed that, for some reason I can't fathom, show up in Smart Content as a grey rectangle with a small white "frame" inside it, which has a triangle with an exclamation mark framed inside it. See attached screen grab. In most cases, the content items inside of such "no primary product image" products do have images—although I think I have at least a few of the "next level down" items that don't have thumbnails, too.

I have no idea how or why this happens, or what, if anything, can be done about it. So I have several related questions:

Can I make my own thumbnail image for products or items that are missing them?

If so, where in my content library are such images stored?

If I can make my own, how do I "link" such an image to its correct product so it shows up in Smart Content?

Thanks for any help or tips.
