Eccomi di nuovo.

Sto imparando, da arruffone quale sono, a usare il programma a un livello elementare. Sto però cercando di dominare - si fa per dire - l'illuminazione, la mia dannazione, anche perché ho preso delle belle luci che simulano quelle di uno studio fotografico, e funzionano bene per quel che le ho provate (di base sarei un fotografo).

Due domande (se son fuori luogo nel presente topic mi scuso e fate finta che non le abbia poste):

1) faccio girare Daz Studio su una vecchia macchina, addirittura con poverssore... processore AMD Phenom II X4 940 di una dozzina d'anni fa, gloriosi 8 Gb di RAM, a cui ho affiancato, da molto tempo, una NVIDIA 970 con 4 Gb di RAM (che mi salvano un poco).

Ho però preso gli eccellenti Scimpanzé e Orango di AM (Alessandro Mastronardi) che mi han fatto capire che con il mio attuale computer non posso illudermi di andare troppo lontano.

Ora, se dovessi acquistare un PC nuovo, ovvio che un AMD Ryzen di fascia altissima, con 128 Gb di RAM e una NVIDIA 3090 sarebbe una bella scelta, ma occorrono veramente specifiche così alte, visto anche che allo stato non faccio animazioni? 

I rendering di scene non troppo complesse variano attualmente, con Iray, dai 10 minuti alle 2 ore circa;

2) ho provato Face Transfer, e mi pare funzioni bene. Non sono tuttavia stato in grado di ottenere gli stessi risultati con HeadShop One Click 2021, nonostante dicano che dovrebbe esser migliore. Sbaglierò io qualcosa?

Questi programmi sono dei giocattoli che al di là di un possibile effetto "wow!" servono a poco?

O si possono usare con profitto?

Grazie!

Can models altered by HeadShop OneClick2021 by exported by any of the bridges? They are based Genesis 3 & 8 models but I just want to be sure I can export them. 

Thanks

It also seems that some people have an issue with "nested folders". HeadShop is a DAZ plugin and needs to be installed in a folder that is:

1. Named DAZ 3D, which is the standard way DAZ installs DAZ Studio. The actual Studio app is located thus: DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4/DAZStudio app. 

2. Some users have Studio in a "nested folder" like: "e:/DAZ 3D/ Application/My DAZ/DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4/DAZStudio app" or similar

The question is: what is the destination folder you need to install HeadShop?

Answer:

a. e:/DAZ 3D/ Application/My DAZ/DAZ 3D/

b. e:/DAZ 3D

(The correct answer is "a". It needs to be installed in the folder that directly contains DAZStudio4 with the working DAZ Studio app inside.)

I got Headshop Oneclick2021, but so far it has been a disaster. I unzip it and run the installer. It crashes and deletes it's self. I then find that my anti-virus software has declared it to be a virus. I break it out of impound and try again. Crashes again saying it can't find VISETUP.INF. Checking in the 2 very much hidden directories the installer is looking in to find the said file, I conclude that no such file exists on my computer. I have about the same issue when I got the headshop before this one. It is getting far too frustrating! I already have a tech support ticket in, but doubt they will get back to me any time soon. Have searched and I seem to be the only person with this issue. I normal installer like DAZ Central would likely help, but who knows. 

Seems like such a great and useful product, but i greatly doubt I will ever get to use it.

We added a new video "How-to Install" here:

We would like to clear up some confusion. The DAZ product page of OneClick2021 erroneously states that OneCkick2021 uses DAZ Central installers. That is explicitly not true.

HeadShop products come with their own installers and a README document that explains the simple install process.

We have attached a version of the README to this article. Once installed, HeadShop launches directly from DAZ Studio under the Edit menu.

Thanks for your support!

I purchased Headshop OneClick 2021. Can't even find where to start it. It's in the list of plugins, yes, but can't find a way to even start it. Shouldn't it be included som kinde of instruction to that as well, except for the install instructions??

There's a README file included for installation. There's a full video under the Help menu:

I just bought this and installed it with Daz Install Manager. Where do I find it on the DAZ Studio interface?

I don't think Install Manager can install OneClick2021. Please read README and follow steps. Make sure you choose the correct destination ("DAZ 3D" with working DAZ Studio).

Once installed, you will find "Start HeadShop" in the Edit menu of Studio.

Did you read tghe README file? HeadShop DOES NOT install with DIM or DAZ Central.  It has its own installer.

I am happy to help: please email to [email protected] or invite me on skype: lasloves is the skype name.

I bought me the Headshop OneClick2021 today..... got it installed, but.... after i draged a Image into the field, and click to apply to next step...

I get a 2 times Alert Message, something with "Parameters Zero" and since that only the "Please Wait" Screen with the background of Front, Features and Profile....

Just waiting now since 45 minutes, but no Image of my Portrait comes in and it says still "Please wait"

Can you help me with it?

 Thanks, I was a fraid that if I created a face, a texture would just erase it.

HeadShop 13 - DAZ Studio plugin - YouTube

I watched that.  It was what raised the question in the first place. Headshop's textures in the video looked like they would clash with any scene the figure was in (especially the hair).

Texture and morph are applied to "head" not hair. So, no clash.

So then you can use a texture, and it does not change the shape of the face?

HeadShop changes both the shape and the texture and does this automatically inside DAZ Studio. It really is a one-step operation (but you can also use custom features such as age, weight, smile or custom nose shapes).

LOL, you might try TritiumCG over at deviantart since they already have some morphs for some other porn stars and might be able to help you out.

You could also try doing it yourself with facegen or headshop in the store

Unless I have misunderstood the nature of these programs, all they do is make a texture of a face, correct?  They do not actually sculpt the face?  I am asking because  it does not seem particular useful if you want to blend the features of two people via something like the "Lovechild"  but apply a new texture to create a new figure (As in a vastly different skin tone to the originals). I use Daz Studio to create characters for my writing and gaming needs, and the resources available as packaged individuals are ultimately limited compared to how many characters can be in a book. I am a intermediate user of Daz and like to experiment, but do not want to spend long periods of time trying to sculp new figures.  Is there some program that actually can sculpt the underlying features of an image?

mbKingWin, HeadShop DOES NOT INSTALL WITH DAZ INSTALLERS!!! It has its own installer. Please read README document that explains the installation.

The installer has step by step instructions. Key is to select the CORRECT DESTINATION FOLDER to install to. 

The steps outlined to find where your working DAZ Studio is installed are in the manual in Chapter 4: https://printahead.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/HS13-Manual.pdf

If still no luck, pls. send me an email: [email protected]

That seems to have fixed it.  So, it appears that there are two application folders, One at C:\Daz 3D, and onother one inside that folder at C:\Daz 3D\Applications\64-bit\DAZ 3D, That just seems wrong!

Anyway, It was the nested one that I needed to use for the install of HeadShop.

Thanks for the help.
