Report sales errors here. "There's Always Another Sale™"
The artists whose catalogs are 65% off - the "Show All Artists Together" link comes up with 0 items. I know I spend a lot at DAZ, but I don't think I own all 23558 items, and when I remove the "Hide Items I Own" check mark, I still don't see anything. (Is it sad that my first thought was, "OMG! I didn't realize just how much I spend here!" and only then, "No, even I haven't bought *this* many items from a subset of artists" ?)
BTW: I think Cloudflare does have issues - sometimes a store link will redirect me back to the front page then go to the product on the second try, which makes me think one of their servers is being a dork - but this is a different issue.

Orestes iray skydomes, are they convertable to 3DL?Does anybody know if Orestes various iray skydomes are easily convertible to 3DL for use as a simple backdrop on a skydome (even if the HDR effect does not convert)? Can I just take an existing 3DL skydome and swap out the image used from one of the iray ones, or is it not that simple?

Some questions regarding building a townHas been a while since I posted this and since then have learned more about Daz studio and learned about scene subsets and also learned about node instances as well.
I have a scene subset for houses I built in room creator and have 3 versions (fully furnished, basic furnished, empty), each house in the street has its own scene subset file.
I even have separate scene subsets saves for roads, paths, grass, the trees and streetlamps.
So I just load/merge the main house am focusing on and a neighbours house, then make node instances of the neighbour's house or main house depending on what am doing.
My town is all mapped out via scene subsets, so it all loads where I placed it, so once I set up the location, I then move it into a new temp group and then drag to 0,0 and then add models.
I render location and models separate as not enough memory to render them together, but I can layer the models on top of location in photoshop, in testing it went well but still building my town, so how to render still in theory.
Products I used are;
- Room Creator Version 2.0
- Room Creator Exteriors
- Streets
- Orestes Tree Vol 1
- Haven Park (I made my own park)
Right now I have the park and most of the west side of town done, have built apartment house for the east side of town, just to build a street, then add the beach to the south and decide what goes in north area of town.
Need to learn about adding deformers to a plane, which I been told could help me make hill and mountain ranges.
So that is where am at with this building a town, still happy to get advice and any other tips, as its a big project :)

Daz Studio Crashing/Freezing when rendering large sceneGetting directly to it, am having problems with Daz Studio crashing or freezing, when trying to render an image from a large scene, the second screenshot shows the scene am trying to render. It is a large scene and I can cut down on some of the assets in the scene for sure, but even before I added all the trees I was having issues with Daz crashing while rendering.
The first screenshot shows when Daz froze, I was monitoring the memory via “task manager > performance” and a “wise memory program”, and did see memory go right up to 95% before it froze, then % dropped to what you see.
I did a google search and did find threads on this forum from 2017/2018, however, these threads are old but did confirm my conclusion that memory was running out and why Daz was freezing or crashing.
Am certain if I can just figure out how to get past the “Rendering” stage and past “Loading/Processing scene”, then good to go with large scenes. I did plan to upgrade to 32GB memory at some point and could do that at end of year maybe, but am hoping people here might have some tips on rendering large scenes that can help.
As I said, I can cut down on assets, I have them saved as scene subsects so I can load what I need, I could split trees, roads, grass, street lamps up into subsects, and maybe even split houses up into more súbsects, is some furniture in them (baths/showers etc).
I am able to load the full scene am trying to render as well, as I deliberately tested to see if there were issues with loading scene as well.
I am using dome and scene with Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes – Harvest Moon but did crash with sun-sky only as well.

Ronny Returns
Big Ronny Rumorosa returned from exile, having been pardoned somehow for his many crimes. Maybe his wealthy Blustian friends helped out. Anyway, the first thing he did was build Rumorosa Tower in his native borough, locate Ronny Jr, and brag a lot about his wealth. When his friends from Blustia arrived and asked to be introduced to "those in power", Ronnie began to wonder if maybe their talk of conquering the galaxy was more than a pipe dream.Used:

Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes - Summer Day
"Ocean Wide" product lighting issueThank you for answers!
I've decided to use one of these HDRI skydomes:
https://www.daz3d.com/orestes-iray-hdri-skydomes-summer-daybut now my scene looks a bit overlighted. Since i can't see the skydome in the scene tab i don't know how to chage intensity of the light. Does anybody know?
And how can i delete the skydome if i need?
Music video created in DAZ Studio: "Win Your Love"This is a music video that was created by Seven Oaks Creative Arts, which I have the pleasure of being a freelance assistant for. The animation was primarily done by one of their freelance animators and video/audio editors, Randy McDonald. I did much of the research and creative suggestions for content, some of the "scene" setup, and some ancillary animation.
The video is a combination of live-action footage and 3D animation. All of the 3D work was done in DAZ studio. Some of the live-action footage is public domain stock, from Pexels and other free-footage sites. Some footage was created using Google Earth Studio. The rest is footage of the singer/songwriter, Ted Jones.
The video has now gone public so I have permission to post a link to it here:
"Win Your Love"
Below I'm listing every DAZ content package I can that was used in the creation of the video, but there are a few caveats:
• It is impossible to recall or list every pose package that was used, or that we attempted to use. All the poses started with were discarded, or tweaked a lot and then used, and there were way too many tried to even begin trying to list them all. Sorry.
• The same issue goes for "environment" packages, using either skydomes (physical or virtual) or HDRIs. As with the poses, we tried so many different ones (with sometimes maddening results) that there's no way I can find to tell which ones were actually used.
If anyone sees anything in the video that I don't list below, please note it in this thread so we can acknowledge all the great content creators whose work has gone into this production.
One package I cannot list in order of appearance is a utility, without which the video never could have been done with the resources available to us:

Light presetsIs this an HDRI, or is it a skydome type of object actually loaded as a model in the scene?
It is an HDRI. It can only be seen with the Nvida viewport selected. It is Orestes Iray HDRI Lonely Country Road.
L'Adair's WIPsThis is just a screen capture of the render window…
I'm rendering an image for Llola Lane's monthly challenge, and it has so much small detail, I'm rendering the final image very large, 4700 by 2000 pixels. There are some things I need to fix, which will require some spot renders, and I need to add the hoof prints in the snow for the deer using post work. (Hope I'm up for that challenge!) But over all, I'm really happy with the way this is turning out.
It's rendering very slow, though. It's not just the size. There is a lot of snow in the scene, over and above the snow in the set, Cabin In The Snow, A large number of objects are using DA Let it Snow to add layers of snow, some from the set, some from the added objects I kitbashed into the scene. Like the pine tree in the foreground to the left. And while they are not visible in this "small" screencap, there are also several mesh lights with the cabin: Some that are part of the set, and some that I added. And one antique lantern. Aside from the mesh lights, lighting is one HDRI from Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes - Brooding set. To this point, I have not adjusted anything in Tone-Mapping. Not sure that I will, either.
At the rate this is rendering, and considering the spot renders and post work, it could be another week before the completed image is ready.
Need Advice Lighting Characters in Outdoor Settings in IrayThanks for your advice, everyone!
Ghost lights was the first thing I tried, scorpio, without much luck. The more I brightened them, they made my background too bright while my figure remained dark.
Interesting to note that Iray Worlds Skydome is dark, xyer0. I tend to be pretty partial to dramatic shadows and was hoping to keep those while lighting the figure. I wanted to try it because it gives more control than your standard HDRI. For example, Skies of iRadience have been tinted, and try as I might, I couldn't change that. I tend to go for plain sky HDRI's because many of the UltraHD has subject matter in their images that I don't want. They can be pretty specific, though I do see where I could use some of them - you've got some pretty good tips there. I typically use Orestes IRay HDRI Skydomes - I like variety in my skies. HDR's are great but don't give the same control over brightness, color, etc. that I had with 3DL skies.
I'll have to try that, Fishtales, it's a good tip.
I'm going to take your advice and do some experimentation before I spend time creating the perfect scenery and become frustrated again.
Desert Island DAZ - what are the EssentialsOrestes HDRIs are definitely up there (there aren't too many alien planet and sci-fi HDRIs out there, I'd love to see even more of those with really extravagant sky colors)
Another one I really like is Sickleyields' Ripples and Wakes Iray, it really adds some nice detail when placing figures and stuff in water. All her other water and liquid props are awesome too, by the way. Still have a few more of those in my wishlist that will definitely be useful. But Ripples and Wakes is the most basic one to start with, and combine with all the others.
Desert Island DAZ - what are the EssentialsWhat are the 5-8 essential lights, tools, shader etc that you find yourself going back to every time. For me it is Orestes HDRIs.
