hair dforce

dannagiusy64

I bought this product, 

https://www.daz3d.com/classic-long-hair-with-dforce-for-genesis-8-females

there are also video tutorials. Unfortunately, the videos go too fast and does not explain certain functions well. In the attached photo I highlighted a key that he often uses in the tutorial. But I do not know where it is in my program. Can someone explain to me where I can find it? Thanks

Those appear to be actions he's added to a toolbar - you can find them in the Simlation Settings pane's option menu (the lined button in its top corner, or right-click the tab).

OK thanks. I found it

I made several attempts. The last time after 2 hours was still 43% for the simulation. I would like to buy other similar products, but first I want to understand why it takes all this time. From those tutorials it all seems so fast ...

What GPU do you have, assuming that is what you are uisng (Advanced tab of Simulation Settings will show the OpenCL provider)?

dannagiusy64

I have this card: apple intel (R) Core (TM) i5-4280U CPU @ 1.40GHz. With the simulation of clothes it takes up to 20 minutes ... I do not understand

Richard Haseltine

What GPU do you have? I'm not sure if Macs require extra steps to use a GPU for OpenCL.

dannagiusy64

Beyond the data I wrote above I can not find any more.

Totte

I think there is a confusion between CPU and GPU here.
 

dannagiusy64

Sorry, but I do not understand these technical arguments. Where can I find this information?

no nose

type "system information" in the search bar

Totte

Or Apple Menu -> About this computer -> System Information

dannagiusy64

I can not find the information on the GPU card. This is a screen

dannagiusy64

Should I look in the menu on the left?

Richard Haseltine

Try clicking Grafica/Monitor on the left

Even here I can not find information

Intel HD 5000.

In DAZ Studio under Simulation settings and Advanced Tab, what options of simulation engines do you see?

dannagiusy64

At the moment I'm doing a rendering and I can not open the drop-down window, but I'm sure the references are the ones I wrote above Apple intel (R) Core (TM) CPU i5-4280U a 1,40 GHz

dannagiusy64

Al momento sto facendo un rendering e non riesco ad aprire la finestra a tendina, ma sono sicuro che i riferimenti sono quelli che ho scritto sopra  CPU Intel intel (R) Core (TM) i5-4280U a 1,40 GHz

That explains the time then. There is OpenCL support for the HD 5000 but if you cannot select it, hmm, but when you render is done see if you can select the HD 5000 in that menu.
 

dannagiusy64

No, it does not even allow me to enter the advanced settings. I have to wait

I finished the rendering. This is what I have on the drop down window

Try selecting the Appl HD Grpahics 5000 option. The first time you do a simulation there will be a delay as the kernels are recompiled, but the second should be a safe comparison with the speed from your simulations using the CPU

dannagiusy64

 

Ok, I try how you tell me. Thank you

Richard Haseltine said:

Prova a selezionare l'opzione Appl HD Grpahics 5000. La prima volta che esegui una simulazione ci sarà un ritardo al momento della ricompilazione dei kernel, ma il secondo dovrebbe essere un confronto sicuro con la velocità delle tue simulazioni usando la CPU

With those settings you suddenly quit the program after 10 minutes

Then stay with CPU OpenCL settings. Sometimes GPU causes errors.

 Thanks, I've made other attempts. But I stopped the simulation after 2 hours. I would like to contact the seller to get advice. But I do not know how to contact him. If I click on its name I see only its products for sale but I can not send a message. His videos attached to the product are not clear and go too fast. Maybe I have to give some initial settings. I love this dforce hair. I have put others among my favorites, but if I do not solve I throw away the money

Check to see if the vendor is active on the forum, and perhaps has a thread on the product. if not open a Technical Support ticket with your questions and they can ask the vendor if need be.
