I've seen other questions about morphs in this forum and, being a noob about daz, didn't realize my question was more advanced. I've realized that the procedure I used was to add morphs, while what I'm trying to do is create a dial that uses morphs...guess I'll try to use some of the other options in the support asset menu, and then I'll try the Nuts and Bolts Forum. Thanks anyway!
Creating a new Genesis morph target is only possible with the advanced tools. Using a genesis morph from the shaping tab is basic. If I had the info I would give it to you. For advanced topics even I use the other forums.
This might help some http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/userguide/creating_content/modeling/start
Thanks to both you and Jaderail, but sadly the tutorial didn't work out for me. I've eventually opened a thread in the nuts and bolts forum, it's here in case someone has any further help.
I've read through much of this thread, (I admit, not all!) and I have an extremely basic question. For some inexplicable reason, my Smart Content and Shaping controls refuse to show up.

When I first got the program, the Smart Content showed up just fine, as did shaping. I can access Shaping when I have a Genesis figure, but not with V4 or M4. Is this normal? And I can't access Smart Content at any time in the past few weeks. I've been doing everything through the Content Library, but I certainly would like to be able to use the controls.
I don't know where Jaderail is. He should be in bed because he has an standing appointment early on Saturday mornings. In the meantime I'll try to help you.
On your Smart Content problem, try right-clicking on your Content Library tab. Left click on Content DB Maintenance. Tick Re-import Metadata. If that doesn't work, let us know.
Take a look at the Content Library tab -- if there's no triangle next to Categories, then the Content Management Service isn't running. Shut down DS4, then go to Start > All Programs > DAZ 3D > DAZ Content Management Service and click on "Start DAZ Content Management Service". If the CMS is running but you still aren't getting anything in Categories, then your security program may be blocking it from communicating with DS4.
Yeah! That last bit did it. Odd that the Content Management Service was switched off somehow. I really appreciate the help. Thank you!
Thank you both for helping out yesterday. I was down all day with a bad hip and I just got in from my Saturday thing.
I knew there had to be a good reason for your absence. I take it the hip is better.
I'm walking again but it still pains me to do so. I need to go see my Doc again soon if it don't clear up. It has been acting up on me all week now.
I do have a question. Last night I was working with a bedroom, but I don't know really how to see inside it. I can do top view and remove the ceiling or I can do a side view and remove one of the walls. I think it involves cameras. However, right now with the laptop down I can't do anything in Studio and I'm slowly dying of boredom.
When I release packs that have rooms. I make it so all the walls are separate so they can be removed at will and I supply cameras
Is removing a wall the same as hiding it in the Scene tab?
I have big problems with placing items in a room. I don't remember what room I was using, but it started with LS_, has a door, 2 windows, fireplace, bed, vanity, curtains, drapes, etc. Maybe that was the final straw that broke my laptop. I will never win Interior Decorator of the year at this rate. I ended up with the curtains outside the windows, sconces on the outside of the walls, and I have no idea why the rug is catercorner the room. Also I think I may have my fireplace in backwards. Yes, I know I can use the pre-load, but I like to rearrange furniture.
I'm with you Anne, I like things the way I like them. You need to experiment with moving items with the different tools. You can only get things so close by eyeballing it. That is one reason DS has all the built in cameras, I use the perspective Camera all the time. For putting things just in the right spot I get my RENDER camera were I want it then switch to the Perspective came to do my fine tuning. It will do all the same things like Zoom, Center on Item selected ect. the Default Camera (Render Camera) will but you can switch back to the Render Camera to check your work. I test render and then Edit some more if need be using the Perspective Camera for close up work.
Much clearer to me now. As soon as I get my laptop back up, I want to play with cameras. Hopefully I can find my pot in my Dreamhome bathroom.
My late husband learned early on to always turn the light on when coming in from second shift. He never knew where I might have put the furniture.
Every time I open DS I play with something new. I really enjoy playing with the lights and cameras.
What is the difference between .dsf and .dsa. I was loading the earrings from Elven dress for gensis and I noticed there were two different files. I also noticed that when I loaded one set, and then changed the pose of genesis the earrings didn't follow. Can't remember which version I used.
Opps, missed that one. Okay folks, truth be told I just really think this thread is a good Idea.
I'm Asking right now that all CV's and other helpful people help keep this thread up and running. I'm Just a DS semi-know it all.
Like most New Users I'm still finding my way around DS4.5Pro. I do try to stay on top of all the tips but I do not know the answers
to all the Questions that can and have been asked.
I also invite all users to ask any NONE Tech question about DS here. The types of new files and why they exist is not my cup of tea.
How to use the files and install files I understand just fine.
I hope to see more Users soon.

Here is a link to the documentaion about File Formats. It will tell you everything you ever wanted to know, and probably a lot that you didn't :)
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/?do=googlecustomsearch&id=file+formats
Have fun.
Must read it myself sometime :red:
Hi Jaderaid, got advised to come here as I am a new B and ask my question if I had any. I am glad I did come here as now I can go through all the-other posts and learn from them rather than hitting a brick wall and having to relay on others helping me.
Just one question I do need help with, if you know what costume this is could you please let myself know so I can purchase it from here?
Thank you and I really look forward to going through your posts
:P
Feel free to ask anything you like. If I can not help I'll try to find the help you need.
No problem thank you for your time in getting back to myself Jaderail.
:P
Hi Jaderail... :-)
I think this thread is a great idea for all the new users...
I will gladly lend a helping hand when and where I can... Unfortunately my free time lately has been limited to the waaay late hours of the nite or waaaaaay early hours of the morning PST. I barely get to do anything in 3D lately...
But maybe I can guide those that have questions when everyone else is sleeping... :)
See you around...
I'm a newbie when it comes to DS so not sure how much help I can be. I can do most the basics and pretty good with cameras and decent with lights. I'm more of a Poser guru but I'm working hard on DS.
Also here is a direct link to the list of formats you will come across http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/tech_articles/file_extensions/start
Thank you All for popping In, Frank you'll do fine. Everybody just help with what they can when they can. Now we need some users.
Hi Guys, now that I have the very very very basics of Daz and the interface could one of you help me out with some started tutorials as the ones I am finding on the net are not up to much and would love to learn a little about lighting and reflections.
Thanx in advance
:P
