Adding RAM won't help. If you're not seeing something like a 25% render time reduction then you need to check the 1070's clock speed during renders. If that is way below the base clock that could show your PSU is too weak, or that the card is overheating.

The renders will always take a while to start on that system. You're running PCIE gen 2 which is much slower than gen 3, slow enough the lanes could easily be getting saturated during a scene transfer. Further DDR3 is slow. It's max speed is the same as DDR4 minimum. You might even have SATA 2 rather than 3 which is also slower.

As to a benchmark showing the 1070 greatly underperforming that could be the PCIE gen 2 interface comparing to the gen 3 which is what most people are on.

But as I said check the cards clock speed and other stats using GPU-Z and you'll see for sure.

Trying to learn content creation I'm up to rigging and creating morphs. I've followed Sickleyield's tutorials, which are amazing by the way. I created a pleated skirt for Genesis 8 Female and managed to create a morph for the Left thigh side which worked perfectly. Used the same process to create a Right thigh side but the skirt doesn't return to zero when the side to side slider is moved back to zero. See images below. This is my process.
1. Create the posed skirt in marvelous designer.
2. Import into Daz as morph target.
3. Open Property Hierachy
4. Highlight side-side in skirt right thigh bend and move across to 1st stage controller in the property hierarchy.
Haven't saved this morph as it's not working properly. The first one, that is left thigh side is saved and working as it should.
Am I missing something.

hello amazing daz users :)

I have a question; I did a morph(just the face) for a genesis 8 female in brush and then brought back the morph, everything works correctly at first glance. morph from 0 to 100, nothing else in the body changes, everything looks fine.

but then when i put poses, the fingers of my character get all messed up when i have my morph set to 100. How can i fix this? I'm pretty certain my morph doesn't move any verts in the fingers at all.

looking forward to hear your ideas

thank you.

OK

I ahve remved all Starter Essentials (Except Mimic) and downloaded fresh and reinstalled ALL of them again and I still get this missing error. Is there ANY help at all or are we just out here with our pants down? I have NO desire to be moving my content files around and such.

The required mat then should be found on whichever Drive at:

:\DazDocs\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Tools\Presets\Genesis 8 Females Simple MAT.duf

Sometimes rebooting the computer helps D/S reregister [or whatever it does] all what it has.

 

You ROCK! Thanks a bunch even though my initial spelling was horendes. I actually had to add in both male and female but is not getting errors now.

Thanks

 

You're quite welcome, glad you got it working! Enjoy.

btw - if you find that you want the face morphs um, 'fuller', this product was an instant buy for many of us when it came out:

https://www.daz3d.com/face-transfer-shapes-for-genesis-8

It was designed to compliment the Face Transfer plugin.

Good, then you won't have to worry about buying all those base characters or possibly asking for a refund. I'm curious, what do you mean that you don't get the sliders? There must be some kind of slider for each style that allows you to increase/decrease the strength of how much the morph is applied. Otherwise, I can't imagine how you could combine them together; especially at full strength, as it would probably end up looking hideous.

Maybe already asked, and maybe already answered... But has anyone seen a a morph of Dawn Wells (aka "Mary Ann" of Gilligan's Island)?

 

If not, what the heck are you all waiting for!

There ia a G3 I think that looks like her, from rendo...but I can't remember the model name.  Will look about.

This Centaur is very serious about Butterflies.

Might have overdone it with the bloom and saturation... or maybe it's just the right amount for a slightly kitschy fairy tale vibe?

Probably unavailable, but you could try to contact the vendor through Customer Service. I don't think smay frequents these forums, but there are more generic alternatives, like PTF Grungy Threads (there are several products that add dirt, but I don't know of any others that add tears). That will do basically the same thing, but you are not limited to a single outfit or a single type of tear, it can be applied anywhere. It's a bit tricky to work with, but there are a couple of threads dealing with it.

Thank you, that makes sense if I can contact that way.  I know there are some texture & other solutions, but I'm terrible at combining stuff well enough to make textures look good. 

well there is the new ones for Genesis 8

https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-torn-clothes-for-genesis-8-females

is conforming enough you could dial in the genesis shape on G8F then convert it to a prop and use the transfer utility 

Thank you.  I do have that set, I was just being OCD about trying to find the original used in the promo image. 

Thanks for the quick responses. :)

Working on Shapes support while Roguey pulls her hair trying to rig the Waist with all the moving parts, in a way that will deform and still work with most shapes...

Rather than doing custom morphs for the different shapes/characters I decided to add all the morphs and rigging necessary to all the pieces to allow them to be deformed to match (hopefully) any shape.
Other tan the Ogre Belly piece which was a nightmare to accomodate and needed a custom morph, all other pieces use combinations or morphs to shift, expand, thicken and otherwise adapt the armor/clothing as needed, so that it doesn't only just fit, but can be bulked up again to look imposing on bigger characters like the Ogre.

There will be custom shapes with the armor, but other than the Ogre belly piece, they're all being done with the included morphs, which I hope will mean that anyone will be able to adapt the pieces to almost any type of new body.

Parts are not mirrored yet, so they only exist on 1 side atm :)

I took Paisley for Teen Josie 8 and tried aging her a bit using the Face Young morph set to around -30% and applying a number of other morphs to various parts of the face/head. I also used her base skin, which is probably one of the best, imo. For the lips, I removed the makeup and just decided to use the Diffuse Overlay layer to add the color.

@DMaster, Is the master controller supposed to control the new Abs morph? It doesn't.

I have been playing around with converting old 3d Universe characters to duf.  I know that some in the forums indicate that it isn't worth it because weight mapping can cause serious wonkiness.  Either way, it has been a great way to learn more about DS and what properties impact what.

With the Toon Snake, I ran into a new (for me) puzzle.  The toon eyes are a slider/morph but there is a subcomponent of ERCs. They are the only piece that I can't figure out to have a accurate conversion.  Is there a way to preserve them?  Currently, my DS version of the toon snake only has traditional round eyes because the subcomponents are not carrying through the conversion.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. 

I’ve definitely used that C4D file a couple times. I wonder if it would be possible to replicate, or at least mimic, that functionality within DS. 

Oh, ok, i thought it would be known here, but its nearly impossible to look up for double post. If you search for "lightning" there are to many "PC-Strikes" ;)
Anyway, i thought the same, if its possible to make a similar script for DAZ. I'm not sure if DAZ understand python. But even if not, i think its not to magical to adapt to other languages. The Question is, how can DAZ handle it. Its 's math and simulation ... maybe a dForce Stick would work? xD
 

Not as versatile, but mcasual has 7 morph prop

https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjsevenarcs-prop-and-script

 

I've seen that, but i miss the little tiny side arcs.

Ultimately I had to cut ....and photoshop the ears to get what I was looking for... in post...

Test one...is out of DAZ... (Note..I pinched the back of the head as much as DAZ wouls let me)

Test two is after photoshop...

 

JD

Instead of photoshop, couldn't you have made a morph for the ears in Zbrush?

I tried, but on re-import DAZ rejected the morph...saying the topology had changed even though all I used was a move brush....

Maybe already asked, and maybe already answered... But has anyone seen a a morph of Dawn Wells (aka "Mary Ann" of Gilligan's Island)?

Here's BJ Amira (base shape, no HD; also corneal bulge morph) with Eiluned skin:

If there is a nipple shape baked into the main morph you are using another option may be to apply a Smoothing Modifier (from Edit>Figure>Geometry) and set the type to Generic in the Parameters pane - that may remove, or at least soften, the protruding nipple shape. Another option is to remove the nipple shape from the morph, use the Geometry Editor in Vertex selection mode to select the problem area of the base figure (most readily done by clicking the srface name in the Tool settings pane, in Polygon mode, then right-click in the Viewport and switch/convert to Vertex Selection mode - it's a sub-menu near the top of the right-click menu); click the heart icon on the morph's slider to make it a favourite (and unfavourite and other morphs you don't want to modifiy), then right-click>Morph Editing>Remove Selected deltas from Favourites. Removing  deltas may leave a dent or protruberance if the breasts have been reshaped, but it will be smooth so shuld be fairly easy to correct with a dForm applied through a weight map filled with 100% for the Nipple surface.

Ciao ragazzi, sentite ho creato un morph per G3F e G8F, qualcuno vuol fare il beta test per vedere come va o se danno problemi?

Quanto mi paghi?  Considero solo contratti a tempo inderminato e non vincolanti, ricordalo.

Ahahah!

Di che morph si tratta? Posso dargli una provata io, se non c'è da diventare scemi per disinstallarlo.
