    Does anyone know how exactly to download the new version? It seems different from the usual.

    if you saved a copy of the previous installer, just reinstall it.

    Older versions are not available for download anymore. You could always try asking DAZ customer support for the previous version, but there's no guarantee they can / will provide it.

    Either through DIM or Product Library in your store account. You'll need to enter 4.x in the Product Library filter box.

    OK so if the skirt is working then you should be able to simulate the other items. Things to try : make sure that you don't have any bodyparts intersecting with the mesh during the timeline or pose, and also try turning damping on the surface settings to 0. Extreme poses that stretch the geometry too far will explode, just like a real clothing item will rip if you reach physical limits. :)

    You mention trying not to have any bodyparts intersecting the mesh during the pose, but how do we get around that in sitting poses? Not just sitting on a chair, but sitting on the floor, etc.  I've yet to be able to get G8 wearing a dforce compliant outfit to sit on a chair or a cube and then run a sim without DS shutting down to the desktop a few seconds into the sim.  There is no way when she's sitting to move the fabric of the pants legs away from each other when she's got her ankles or legs crossed.  The fabric is going to intersect at the beginning of the pose no matter what.  Are dforce garments not going to be able to withstand sitting with legs or ankles crossed because fabric intersects?  Are there ways to get around this?

    Hm.  I am running High Sierra on my Macbook Pro, and dForce either wedges entirely (with CPU simulation) or produces a drape that does not match what I get on my iMac (nor what was expected) with OpenCL GPU simulation, for the falling-sheet demo scene.  On my iMac, it is working; but the iMac is running Sierra, not High Sierra.  This makes me even more reluctant to upgrade the iMac OS.

    For sitting poses I would use an animated drape rather than a static one.

  • I'm looking to migrate runtime files to my mac - and daz3d.
    This is how the folders look - where do the runtime things go? Please thanks...

    The basic import isn't doing it
    Is there a way with Daz Importer... ?

  • The Runtime ffiles can be anywhere you like, as long as the path is specified in the Content Directory Manager.

    I'm curious to know if the "group bug" has been fixed; I've tried a handful of versions since 4.8, and had to roll back every one of them because of the group bug. When I drop figures onto or off of a group, DS freezes up. Unfortunately, groups are essential to my workflow, unless there's some substitute (that offers visibility inheritance and will work with hierarchical presets). The rollback process isn't so quick and easy that I like doing it just to see if a persistent bug has been fixed, so I'm hoping to get some word of mouth on the issue.

    I can't say that it ever happened to me, and I use groups often.

  • CMS *still* isn't working since 4.9... Install Manager, as usual, fails to see Beta builds, and there is no way you can download the software... It is kind of annoying that after so many years we still face the same problems related with the CMS and the Install Manager.

    In DIM, go to the Ready to Download tab, click on Download Filters, and make sure that Software, Public Build, and your OS are ticked.

    What problem are you having with CMS?

    Doctor: it's been a consistent bug for me, through like a half-dozen attempts to update. I'm looking for someone who *has* experienced the bug, only to *not* experience it anymore, in later versions. I guess I'm probably stuck with trying out broken versions of DS and rolling back until the bug finally gets fixed, by accident.

    Mike, thanks. I had everything but "software" checked. That worked. What a weird way to set it up, lol. Never seen anything quite like that.

    For anyone still having problems finding 4.10 in their product library. After clicking repeatedly on the link, I finally cracked it.

    Enter 4.x in FILTER, then open the DAZ Studio 4.x Pro link in a new tab. The new page will show the whole kit 'n' kaboodle with all download options.

    I can't find a direct link to download the new 4.10 general release.  I get the same thing others get.....'select a product to download' except there is nothing showing.  I managed to get the beta public build from DIM, but for beta testing, vendors want me to use the general release and not the beta.

    Was the hexagon bridge removed? I can't seem to export to hex anymore...

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 40,560

    ...that is not good.  Still working in 4.9.

    It is still there. Did you specify the Hexagon location in Edit - Preferences - Bridges?

    Looks good.... Many thanks....

    I've noticed a lot more crashing since I upgraded to 4.10.  Not while using dforce or doing anything out of the ordinary.  Sometimes happens with scenes I've saved and have never had an issue with.  I know several other people have mentioned this in passing.  Its getting to be a bit annoying, I've had more crashes in the last several weeks than I have in two years.

    Iray seems to be running slower for me with DS4.10.0.107 Pro 64 bit General Release. I notice Iray renders are taking longer, when I set the redraw to nvidia, the bar at the bottom Rt hand side of DS keeps scrolling to process the scene even thought it might only be a figure wearing an outfit.  Not even anything major.

    Doesn't seem very efficient.

    ...yeah, staying with 4.9 until these bugs get worked out.  Last thing I need is for rendering to take even longer than it already does.
