What you see is the morph.

Thank you for the in-depth explanation. I will try that.

...scratch that last request.  Looks like it's only MilCat with dForce fur and in .duf format that no longer loads in with the size of a doberman. 

Gosh golly gee, was hoping it was finally Cat 8 as we need a cat that bends like a real life cat (eg. has weight mapping and it's own Fluidos settings). 

Anyway, my bank balance is 60¢ shy even with the Cat-20 coupie, and I don't bother with dForce as I have an older system. 

So, since the early Daz days, we've had...

...three Dragons (and that "subdragon" critter)...

...two Horses...

...two Dogs...

...two Big Cats...

...two Cows (the latter, a morph of Horse 2)...

...but only one basic cat with 16 year old rigging and no weight mapping.

We need Cat 8

 

If the product does indeed make for the possibility of transferring geografts, then I would be very interested. I've ended up ignoring a lot of aliens and monsters in the store because they come in only male or only female, and while I can transfer the basic shapes, I don't want the hassle of having to work out how transferring geografts might work.

What? That sounds absurd, I have products from renderosity in the same directory as all my DAZ content, why would I have a separate directory? There have been a few threads here recently about DAZ products having this issue of their morph being applied to the base figure, so I don't know why anyone would think that it "can't" happen with DAZ products. Make sure to check for updates for those products though, a few have been updated in the last few weeks.

hi there

how to save or retain the auto generated morphs from transfer utility in a fitted cloth properties or parameter tab?

i've created ERC with these morphs, saved the cloth to content library. when loaded, all the morphs and ERC linked to these morphs are gone

skimpwear for mans.  with the brock morph.

budgie smugglers.  not a single speedo found.

https://www.daz3d.com/intimates-for-genesis-8-male-s has Speedo style swimwear. OOT makes the most realistic underwear for males and females.

After seeing what Knittingmommy has been doing lately I've taken a leap and bought a character without the required base character. My budget doesn't run to Kinade 8 at the moment but I love what DisparateDreamer has created with Hana and I wanted to get her and do my own mixing to see if I could produce a figure I am happy with. This is my first attempt with her mixed with Lara, Aiko 8 and tweaked with Rarestone's Face Morph Collection for The Girl 8. She is rendered in 3DL using IBL Master.

If you are looking for male skimpwear dzheng is back in buisness over at Rendo and he is putting out so much of it Victoria is pouting.

I bought his first few few offerings which were much more normal clothes, but  he's losing me with the gay fetish wear. I just don't use it. I wish he'd go one on/one off....lol.

Ehhhh... different strokes. I’m just happy Dzheng is back. Loved his Genesis stuff, fetish or normal!

No Lynne's morphs of the MilCat don't apply to the updated cat ,but you should be able to export it as an object then import it as a morph to the updated cat if there were no changes in the vert count at least I think that should work ....

and if you remember the DAZ Horse  2 wasn't a "new" figure it was the MilHorse ,sorta reworked with the mane tail and fetlocks removed , replaced and weight mapped.

I recall an old freebie kitten morph fot the MilCat. (Probably on ShareCg), but I don't know whether it would transfer to the updated cat.

 

Diao's kitten morph seems to work fine on the updated cat

 

Which makes me  wonder about the Lynx morph freebie from .. um ...  can't rememebr the name Lynn?

Yes, Lynn.

Excede a certain muscle index it seems to break dformer/cloth even if it is set for it.

I am betting it is some morph somewhere. Been testing extremes guess it is time to just test morphs one at a time. I will holler if I figure out which one it is. 

I was excited this morning, and couldn't wait to purrchase... but some of the reviews made me realize it wasn't worth the buy. Especially after having made my own size, shaping and pose tweaks to the orginal MilCat and making wearable presets for LAMH furs combined with fur shaders to facilitate my resized cats. I'll pass on this for now, but thanks to everyone who worked on it. Anyone who doesn't own the original will benefit from the update. Really shows they are listening to those of us looking for more animal models and assets. Just hope this doesnt mean all hope is lost for a brand new cat to go with Dog 8... and AM's upcoming mouse morph for the Rodent Polymorph? Pretty Please? With catnip on top?

Thank you. I have problem with buying a morph. I was hoping that I could just change the head to a skeleton skull with a slider and leave the body alone. 

I’ll try the head morph recommendation. Thanks again. 

So is there a way to straighten out the curves in graphmate? Without somehow manually doing it and hoping it does it exactly right

When you see the curve islolated for the morph in graphMate just Marquee select and delete all the frames.

If it is the same freebie Kitten for Mil Cat that I picked up, then I am pretty sure it is a shaping preset rather than a morph. It just scales some of the body parts, and it might also use some of the base morphs.

No cross gender at the moment. That is drafted as a module possible module though. Focus for now is G3 to G8 then G8 to G3. Once we have that foundation we will look into cross gender and the viability of it.

Regards to ease of use, just choose morphs you want on g3, open script and hit transfer. It will do the rest.

Interesting, Zev. Will buy this and Riversoft's...

For cross gender (which I'm also interested in), could I use GenX to convert a G3F to a G3M morph, then convert that G3M morph to a G8F morph?

 

If your G3M morphs is on G3F base, then yes you can. The source\base genders of G3 and 8 just need to be the same.

Great! Sounds like an okay workaround until your (hopefully inevitable) cross-gender module. 

Has anyone else ever “accidentally” won an auction on eBay?

I was watching eBay as the crypto market declined late last year and dreaming about using a rig for Iray rendering in Daz. Eventually I came across an auction for a 12 card rig with 1060 GTX 6gb cards.

I bid the opening on a crypto miner thinking that there was no way that it would go for the minimum bid. I was the only bidder. Oops!

It has been a couple months since I won the auction and I now have everything working with Daz Studio. There are a few things that are not immediately obvious in using a crypto machine for Iray rendering.

 

The first is that mining rigs do not ship well.

Packaging material jammed in to help the video cards travel safely weakened riser card connectors causing intermittent problems. I ended up having to replace the usb/pci riser cards to get everything working in Windows.

I recommend using Ver008S or VER009S as they have led indicators to help figure out where connection problems are occurring. From a performance standpoint there is not a difference between any of the risers, just the types of power connectors and the led indicators.

 

Next, the processor has to have available threads to handle the data traffic to the video cards.

On my early test renders, only four of the video cards had spinning fans. Since I was rendering a simple single figure animation and running into other bottlenecks (more on this below) I didn’t think too much about it.  After a second test render I decided to check the error log and saw this message:

IRAY   rend warn : Cannot use CUDA [devices 4-12] (GeForce GTX 1060 6GB). Not enough CPU threads available.

The rig originally came with a two core Intel Celeron processor. For mining this is fine but I figured I would need a bit more for Daz and picked up a four core I5. In the end the I5 was only able to transfer textures and other data to four of the cards. This meant that the max number of used video cards depends on the number of threads the CPU is capable of.  I have replaced the CPU with an I7 6700k which is the top of the line that the crypto mining motherboard is capable of using. This is true of all the crypto boards I have seen.

The new CPU is 4 core 8 threads but the speed of the processor, at least on my simple test scene, allow the machine to use 12 video cards.  I have not yet tested to see if a more complex scene will drop the number of cards Daz will use.

 

Last, data transfer and file creation overhead limit seem to the maximum file creation to roughly 2 images per minute.

Well that killed my initial goal of being able to render a short for 48-hour film contests. For my bigger dream of rendering out shorts and perhaps eventually a feature length movie, this is probably going to be okay as other production needs will keep me busy.

Overall I am glad that I won the auction, it was just sooner than I would have planned.
