So like this current sale would mean that if I buy a 100 dollar card, I pay 80 bucks, but get 100 dollars I can use for daz stuff, plus the 20 % discount on anything else I buy in the same order, and 30 dollars off daz originals that are in my cart?

Please tell me if this is correct, because I have never in like 11 years of dealing with Daz paid attention to their gift card sales as I assumed i had to buy for someone else.

Stonemason & Zeddicuss items listed are 60% off, but you are supposed to get an additional 20% off if you add a new release listed which according to the sales page include yesterday’s & today’s new releases, the additional 20% also is supposed to apply to the new release, see sales page here: https://www.daz3d.com/zeddicuss-and-stonemason-weekend

Adding one of today’s new releases does not trigger the 20% extra discount on any of the eligible items in the cart, adding one of yesterday’s new releases triggers the 20% discount on Stonemason & Zeddicuss listed items but not on the new releases.

If you're waiting for the new AI denoiser feature in the Public Beta to be implemented, or even if you want more control over the denoiser, I just found out that an industrious souls have patched the Nvidia Optix Denoiser into Blender.

https://www.blendernation.com/2018/12/08/d-noise-ai-accelerated-denoising-for-blender/

The best part is it can take raw HDR / EXR files (or even PNGs and JPEGS, although HDR / EXR works best) and do the same for your render once you easily set up the nodes. Personally, I use it to denoise the entire render and then utilize Photoshop to blend the layers to keep detail where needed.

Here's an example of the node setup I use. I know barely anything about Blender, but I was able to set this up pretty easily. Hope this helps someone!

I had a chat with a Poser user at DevArt and he confirmed that he exports a posed figure from Poser and drapes in MD, exporting both as objects back to Poser. Perhaps that makes sense for Poser but does DAZ Studio have an advantage by having dForce? I seem to remember reading that MD garments tend to explode when dForce is used so perhaps not. All of which is, of course, why I'm asking.

Anybody know what happened? Were they removed due to auto-fit issues, or such? Or is this something that needs a trouble ticket?

Here's the main promo image:

I came across this software a while ago, and a recent thread here prompted me to try it... I can get it installed and it works, but there is no way to load an image... there is no “Open” button (as in “open image”)...

Apparently the only FAQ instructions on the site dealing with this is : 

“When I run Materialize I can't open or paste images?

If you installed Materialize to your Program Files directory you need to give the executable admin privledges, or move Materialize to another directory.

If image loading still doesn't work you may need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (link)

If image loading stillllll doesn't work.....”

I dint get the meaning of “If image loading still doesn’t work.....” because the next question covered has nothing to do with that...

I’ve installed Materialize to a folder on my desktop (so it’s not in Program Files), I’ve given it admin privileges, and I have Visual C++ installed (actually several installed for some reason)...

The computer I’m installing it on is running Windows 7 professional, but I tried it on ones 8 and 10 and the same thing occurred... no Open button.

Any suggestions? It seems like an amazing alternative to Crazy Bump, and has a better GUI than Awesome Bump. This seems like something  I may have done wrong in where I placed the program, but all the site says is don’t put it in program files... 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am new to Daz Studio and I am working on a fairy project as I am trying to duplicate this style (for the head / face, not the body):

A big issue are the ears.  So far the closest I came to this is the Lillith V4 Package:

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ea/21/96/ea2196ba6742b7c8e2704abee866e29d--strange-magic-movie-kid-movies.jpg

I am not particularly fond of the V4 body which is based on Gen 2 and would like to know if anyone knows if a figure in Gen 8 has this shape ear.

Thank you.

I've tried using EvilInnocence's cross dresser to take clothing made for G1 down to V4, and it works pretty darn well.  I can't remember if I've ever used it on Genesis 2 or 3 because I don't need to convert content very often.  Cross Dresser doesn't seem to be able to handle Genesis 8 though.  So unless there is another tool that can do this for me, I assume that I will need to do it manually?

So in the spirit of learning some new skills, my goal is to convert a jacket made for G8 to V4.  To start with, is there somone willing to give me a very high-level summary on how they would approach this?  After that, I will probably have some more specific questions about the tools necessary to do it.

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm suffering from severe Daz Studio hick-ups when reloading scenes to batch render them: I build a scene and pose fome G8 figures in it. When reloading, for some reason, the same figure always gets loaded in wrong: It's posed either higher up than it was saved, or lower down. If I correct the position by moving the figure up, because it was to low and then save the scene, the figure will be positioned too high when the scene gets reloaded, when I correct the position downwards, because it got loaded in too high, the figure will be positioned too low when the scene gets loaded in again... (Just so you know, my figure is not parented to anything...) Very frustrating... Also it's always rotated off axis somewhat. Yet I took notes of the exact X, Y and Z axis position of my figure as well as the rotation values on all axes when it was positioned correctly.( and locked all values). Upon reloading the scene the paramater tab claims my figure is still in the exact same position and rotated as it should, yet as mentioned before, it is not. It is off axis and either too high up or too low, everytime by about (relative to the figure size) 3 to 5 inches...It was also pointed out to me that this behaviour could be caused by morphs that are not saved as assets. Yet I have a total of 4 figures in this scene, of which two are identical, only different shaders applied. Of these two identical ones, one gives me this issue, the other one always loads in just fine... So how can I solve this? How can I track down which morphs (if any) are causing this and how do I save them out correctly so the don't mess up my scene?

Thansk a lot,

Me

Can anyone tell me why I am getting uneven eyes on my figure? At a lot of angles one eye looks wider than the other (horizontal-wise). I've included some pics with arrows showing my point. I adjusted the head, face and eyes but did nothing where I only adjusted one rather than both. Everything I did involved both at the same time and evenly.

I don't know if it's because I'm not understanding depth perception or this is normal, if the seller made of skin texture or figure made them uneven on purpose. I posted this elsewhere and people say it might be intentional and looks more natural this way.

I agree but I still want to know if morph conversion causes these issues so I can look for them in the future.

PS: I have tried adjusting lighting in case the light was just brightening one side too much but it still happened. Sorry for pixely photos, they were just from viewport in iray preview.

Example: "The Constrictor" went from $5.95 yesterday to $7.48 today. 

But "Trendy Fun Outfit for Genesis 3 Female(s)" renained at the same price of $8.38 yesterday and today.

I have found many items behaved that way.

Could DAZ please look into this.

Thanks.

I had Upgradz for Klank the Robot & the interactive license for Upgradz for Klank in my cart & now it is gone & I can't find it in the store. Is Garee gone from the store? How do I contact Garee, maybe he is at Renderosity?

Thanks. 

Is there a recommended method for combining elements that are rendered as separate canvases? Thanks.

I would like some lights that can't be seen in scene, only the light they bring

So any recommendations what should i get
