Hi Dobit

When I import a .wav I get warnings such as "bad quality at 1 MS: the sound recieved is too loud for discrete recognition" Then at 185 Ms: then at 425ms and then 635ms:

I press okay

I lower the sound in audio software and then anilip tells me the sound is too low.

Can you advise what sound level I should use? Also I installed through Daz Central and have no idea where the user manual is? Can you give me a pointer as to where to find it?

Thanks

 

Sorry, we have missed that. You could try to normalize the signals of your audio (use the normalize function of any audio editor). See image for manual link.

Hi all,

I just purchased two of Orestes Skydome products, Cassini and Milky Way.  Cassini installed and works just fine.  Milky Way installs but nothing loads into the scene.  When clicking on the render setting icon, it appears to go through a loading process and the Iray view resets, but the skydome doesn't load and the render settings remain unchanged.  I've attempted installations via both Daz Connect and Daz Central with the same results.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled; I've closed out Studio and Central and reopened and reinstalled.  I've rebooted the PC.  Still the same results.  

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Issue Resolved.
The problem is DAZ Central and DAZ Connect.   Though I've never used the DAZ Central to install or download any of my items, central is now a part of the Daz program, and even if you are using DIM, it will make Daz Connect the main directory for all your download files.  So when I installed an item that had previously been there and then checked to see where it was located in my computer, I showed up in 'My DAZ Connect" folder -- a new folder that had no content.
The fix is to simply go into Edit - Preferences - Content Mgmt, and move your original directory back to the top.
Hope this helps anybody else who has this problem in the future.

It certainly doesn't for me.

I don't follow. Are you confusing Daz Connect (installing within Daz Studio) with daz Central (simplified version of Install Manager, mainly for newer users)?

DIM's path (default the My Daz 3D Library in the Public Documents/Daz Install manager folder) has no connection with Connect's (default path docuemnts/Daz 3D/Studio/My Daz Connect data Library/) - if you are getting products installed through DIM appearing in the Connect folder as well then there is an issue with your paths or with the communications between DIM, DS, and the PostgreSQL database (and if you are not being prompted when you try to open an "installed" product then you must have DS set to work online, which is totally unnecessary if you don't use Connect).

Found a workaround to the Bridge not showing up in D|S.  I don't know what happened or what changed, but it just refuses to be found.

I have D|S and associated software on my D:  drive. Other than the "Smart Content" tab being incapable of finding the products that the Install Manager says is installed (They are, they're just shoved into several different content libraries for some reason)  everything's functioning fine. Except for the C4D Bridge.

I try installing it with DAZ Central. No luck. It'll show up in Cinema 4D, but it won't show up in DAZ Studio. No drop down menu, no Script, nothing.

I try installing it with Install Manager, same deal.  I try installing it by hand manually, nothing.

However,  by going around to Window -> Panes -> Script IDE  and then manually selecting and executing the Daz to Cinema 4D script it'll finally function.  Morphs still don't export though and joints are still aligned improperly,  not sure why the improvements I saw before suddenly aren't happening anymore :/

(Edit to add that this behavior is with the latest manual install from GitHub as well)

Look for all your paths and wipe them. You also need to uninstall DIM/CENTRAL.

Also, daz uses a postgres database. See that that is uninstalled before doing a new install and just to be sure rename/delete the folder for said database, i think default is something like this:

C:\Users\YOURWINDOWSUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms

Install manager iss till available, it has a link at the foot of most pages in yoru Product Library, and daz Studio also has direct downloads in the Product Library (though it is recommended not to mix installation methods).

Thanks - - I'm giving Install Manager a try.  I uninstalled Daz Central.  My internet isn't too awful, for a rural area, but slow compared to most connections - - I think that might have  been an issue, too.- - parts of things downloading and failing along the way, so when it said 100% it wasn't really. I've unchecked everything but Daz Studio 4.15 and if I can download that entirely, I'll one by one add things from the list.  I tried downloadign the whole list, but several things got a "download failed" - - too many things at once, is my best guess.  

I wonder if the long and interrupted download is an issue?  Is there any way to download Daz Studio, other than Daz Central?  I downloaded the earlier version way back when directly, dowloading the .exe  - - can you still do that?

I'm not completely new to Daz, but had been using an ancient version.  I was happy with that, but my old computer died and the old version won't run on Windows 10, so I bit the bullet and Downloaded Daz Central and tried to dowload the latest Daz Studio...  it kept freezing while downloading, but I could restart the download... but when it finally hit 100% it encountered a fatal error on launch.  I tried restarting my computer, but it still won't open.  I uninstalled and tried installing again - - same problem.  
I did get the zip with the crashdump and errorlog, but I don't understand what any of it means.and it seems too massive to copy/paste  the whole thing here, but this snippet seems possibly relavant. I'm running Windows 10 64 bit and I'm still new to it - - my old computer was Windows 7. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Diomede,

when i go to my products, under carrara it only has the DAZ central download... I guessed you had to download via that, but as i say, its not listed...

 bummer

I don't know anything about Daz Central.  I installed Carrara using DIM.  Alternatively, Carrara downloads manually from a person's account product library page.

But perhaps someone else knows about Daz Central.

Hi, not all my products are showing in DAZ Central, I want to DOwnload Carrara to my new laptop but only DAZ studio is showing.. have things changed... its been a while since i  frequented this forum..

thanks for any help

Thanks! Still long ways to go. Not sure about future updates we will be focusing on further down the road. But, fixing the control rig and the conversion materials is the next task on the bridge.

 I recently had it just stop working, after installing to a new computer I downloaded the latest master file from GitHub and it'll show up in Cinema 4D but not in DAZ Studio.  On my other laptop where it's still installed, it'd only have the new features you guys developed on certain figures but not others.  Dragon 3, Deinonychus, etc? Works.  The Constrictor, Tyrannosaurus 1.0 and 2.0, and any 'legacy' (As in, Poser cr2) content?  Won't work, can onmly export using the "Environment and Props" option and no Morphs.

Also refuses to install the Bridge via the Install Manager and DAZ Central.  :/   They insist the Bridge is installed, but it only ever shows up in Cinema4D, never in D|S

At this point, I got it to "work" if I download things through DAZ Central, and then install in Content Library. Also everything takes ten minutes to load on startup :(

Yes - did exactly the same.
first installed DAZ central and then installed DAZ studio and all assets.

This sounds like a metadata issue - you might try uninstalling and reinstalling. How do you install? If you use Install Manager or Daz Central then there should be a circled triangle icon at top-right of the product thumbnail in the Products tab of Smart Content; if not then the system thinks the product was installed through Daz Studio itself (which would place the files in a different location and might account for its not finding a DIM/Central install).

For DIM it is specified in the Setup options -> Advanced Settings ->Downloads -> Thumbnail Archive. (You can change it if you want). I don't know how Central and Connect deal with them.
