Fast copy the shaders settings to another surface?

A Shader preset should do both by default. You can also justa ply the base sahder, then use the Copy Surface/Paste to Surfaces commands from the Edit menu or the Surfaces pane option menu to transfer the settings.

Nice! Thanks you.

Gia 8 & Pro Bundle

Thanks @ALLIEKATBLUE, I never got to that last promo that has the morph you used. I have struggled with Biscuits hairs; so, I didn't think I could make it work, but that's a good choice for Myrina. Kudos to you.

Motion Builder and Daz: A solution.

I do not mean to characterize in 3dxchange..is just to make the bvh from MoBu to Daz compatible. Anyway, I use Daz to simulate dynamic clothing on Manuel Bastioni models from Blender. What I do is useful for me, and it does not depend on commercial license. I only use the skeleton via "Transfer Utility" and shareCG free clothes, I do not need "princesses, knights, or superheroes" .. .
I recommend you try the M Bastion at http://www.manuelbastioni.com/gallery.php

See you, and happy for yours comments. (sorry for the lag delay..I´m living in Spain..)

Are There Going to be Humans for TOR?

If you want to morph a human into a Taur, for example in an animation/comic sequence, this hiding and skin texturing would be useful, I think.

Here is Luci and Myrina

Thanks for the renders, ALLIEKATBLUE! Luci's catsuit makes me think of, "and where would one wear such an outfit?" ;) Myrina has a strong, distinctive face morph; she looks like a black Olympia 8. What's that hair?

Custom morphs causing issue with Genesis 8 posing.

It sounds as if you need to set the morphn to 100%, then use Edit>Figuer>Rigging>Adjust Rigging to Shape. Check that the result works, then (assuming you aven't already used ERC Freeze on your custom morph) zero the posing (and any other morphs), right-click in the parametrs pane to check Edit Mode (if it isn't), right-click on your morph slider and select ERC Freeze, check that there are no interlopers in the list of SubComponents, click Accept and you should now find that the rigging adjusts as you set your morph.

swidhelm’s Gallery

The different developmental stages of the xenomorph alien race in chronological order. First the queen lays eggs, out of it hatches facehuggers, those need humans as hosts, they breed out the chestbusters, even Ridley Scott didn't care about that in the latest successors of this movie series. I have the theory about that he let to much out of hand and cared more about this damn the martian movie. In my opinion the both latest Alien movies pretty much failed in trying to tell the storys origins.

While I think on the other hand dizney did a pretty good job to continue the star wars movie series lately.

There is also a queen head addon somewhere.

Can someone explain base characters vs pro bundles vs add-on characters?

Every figure generation has a base and those base figures have been given free for some time now.

You can use just the base figure and only purchase clothing, hair and accessories which work with the base figure. Requirements on products show the base figure as needed to work.

Many people want to change the look of their base figure. Aging, weight, body type, types of facial figures that can include ethnicity. This can be done with products that give you additional morphs to achieve these looks.

Some people prefer the ability to add pre-made morph settings that create a complete figure from head to toe. These are referred to as "characters".

Daz does their own characters in-house starting with the traditional release of a generational Michael and Victoria. There are many others that are added each generation (the latest, at time of this posting, is Gia 8). Premiere (or Published) Artists who broker with Daz can create other characters that built off the base figure, but may also be built on the Daz in-house characters. In the latter instance, you will find that the product requires the particular Daz in-house figure, such as Gia as an example.

In those instances, the figure may work without that additional in-house character but will look different than when it is applied with the in-house figure in the mix.

Think of the color Turquoise. You have probably seen turquoise that is more green and turquoise that is bluer.

Think of the base as green.
Then the Daz in-house one as blue which creates the bluer turquoise.
The PA (Premiere artist) one adds the yellow which makes the greener turquoise.
If you don't use the PA one, you get a yellower-green and not turquoise which is still pretty and may be fine, but if you want the greener turquoise, then you'll need the Daz in-house one?

See?

Novica & Forum Members Tips & Product Reviews Pt 11

Donna HD (Gen8F) dForce Casual Springtime Outfit (Gen8F) Sassy Bob Hair (Gen8F) Layla Hair (Gen3/8F)

The Casual Springtime Outfit has beautiful materials, and is shown using the dForce.It drapes effortlessly.

Second render: I am not a fan of the Sassy Bob Hair, it had NO morphs to move the botom parts of that hair to the back. You're stuck with it in front. (On your right.) It has nice morphs to fluffy out the hair, and to wind blow, and several other morphs to adjust the temples, get it off the chest, but having to leave the hair in that position made it look wind blown and I did NOT do a wind morph on it. Be sure and read the morph list and you'll see it has a variety- but none for the middle to end of strands. (and nothing in Scene to help you either.) To be fair- it is a Bob style. However, that's all you can do with it, whereas some other hairs allow you to straighten out strands when they curl in or out.

Layla Hair is pretty, shown with high shine.

Donna is a nice Mousso gal, I love the realistic bags under the eyes, and her teeth.

Custom morphs causing issue with Genesis 8 posing.

I recently made a custom morph slider for a Genesis 8 female, the intention is to make a transformation sequence. However, as I move the slider it causes her eyes to go in wild directions when posing. I asked a friend and he stated that it was an issue with Victoria 7, but wasn't sure if there was a fix. Figured I would reach out and see if anybody knew a way to prevent this from happening. Thanks in advance for your help.

Iray - Titan X, Titan V, 1080Ti vs 2080/1180 RTX? (Turing Discussion)

I bought a Nvidia RTX 2080 and tested, if the Raytracing-Cores go to an iRay realtime performance or help the editor iray mode to be almost realtime.

Test setup: CPU Intel Core i7 8700K, Z370 Chipset, 32GB RAM, SSD with 2GB/s transfer rate (that matters because the texture loading is much faster), DAZ 4.10 on Winsows 10 64Bit, CUDA 9.1
rendering od the iray Starter scene, Optix Prime on:

CPU + GPU: >8 min. How disappointing! With the 1070 it rendered in 3:11 Min.! But I think, maybe the Intel security patches slowed down the performance.
8700K + 2080 + 1070: First Picture: 0:20, 90%: 0:34, 95%: 2:00, 100%: 3:10

But with DAZ 4.11 Beta, it's much much faster - it uses a iRay codebase that requires at least Kepler Chipset:
8700K + 2080: First Picture: 0:05, 90%: 0:09, 95%: 0:59, 100%: 1:21
8700K + 2080 + 1070: First Picture: 0:05, 90%: 0:06, 95%: 0:08, 100%: 0:46

CUDA 10 had the same performance as CUDA 9. Adding the CPU to rendering tendentially reduces the performance.

So conclusion is, software improvement has more effect than the new grapphics cards have. The performance also scales good when you add a GTX 1070 to the RTX 2080.
It's obvious: Currently neither CUDA 9 nor CUDA 10 nor DAZ Studio use the new Raytracing cores. So it's just evolution, no revolution. As I read here in the forum, only Optix will support the raytracing cores, but iRay uses Optix Prime, which only uses the normal cores. It's a pity! Nvidia failed to get the software ready. So we can only hope that it will be soon, but for iRay, nobody commited to yet :-(

At least, if you use the newes Gfx cards with DAZ 4.11, you have a nice performance. When using 2080+1070, the iray shading in the editor feels almost smooth and you can see a picture which gives you an impression of the scene in about 3 seconds.

So it worked for you? I have an RTX 2080 as well and i haven't been able to get it to render anything in iray at all (using DAZ 4.10 on windows 10). Did you have to mess with any settings or anything?

DAZ 3D Art Freebie Challenge September 2018
"Worst Day Of School"

(Entry #2)

"A teacher's worst day"

Starring: Melissa B. and "Barack" by dumbuser

The tale:

"Barack" has been teaching Taijiquan (T'ai Chi Ch'uan, a martial art) at the art academy for the past 2.5 years, but because of the sharp decrease in the number of participants, the school board has decided to dismiss him with effect from next month. The school director who had to bring him the bad news, almost had to cry herself, she hated this part of her job!

G2F AND MYSTERIOUS JCM!

With property Hierarchy just I put the leg correction morph when she bend it, to fix polygons shape. Simply I added the jCM to the Stage 1 of the leg and works well. Then, when I zero thee leg pose, explode the JCM like if add original and corrective morph. ANyway I will take a pic of the Property Hierarchy to show you the steps!

Bangs head against wall...armor again

The High Paladin Armour does work that way in regards to the shoulders.

That's what I'm talking about, great armour except the shoulder plates somehow seem to hover above the shoulder with no real connection like straps that hold them in place. I wonder whats the purpose of dForece in this, does the chain mail use that? So the Rigit Follow Nodes follow reference points on the chain mail that is draped over the figure with dForce?

And you should still have be careful with your poses, but that would also be the case in a real plate armor.

Yeah, I just had a nice idea you could lower the Rotation Limits on the figure joints to mimic the limited movment in the armor the figure wears. I tune some Rotation Limits myself some time on the genesis figures or I set all rotation limits off if the pose needs it. That is the case in some scenes and poses, if you want new rotation limits by default with the genesis figure I think you just need to use Save Modified Assets. However I don't know which of Daz Studio save Presets will save the Rotation Limits, I suspect its the Properties Preset.

Rather than paying for plug and play, you're paying for not having to spend a few days modeling, unwrapping, and texturing. So, I think from a vendor perspective, there's a strong economic case not do it the parented prop way

Thats how I use most of my products, as a starting point they may be already well made but sometimes just need something, a morph, a DFormer, extra pose controls or rigging whatever.

suggestions for Genesis 9

...four things.

1. Bundle the Head and Body morphs together at a reasonable price as they are DOs and pretty much a necessity to make a new Genesis mesh really useful.

2. Make it truly backwards compatible with other Genesis iterations (clothing, morphs, skins, shapes, etc.).

3. Release a "Skin Pack" like Gen 3 & 4 had instead of having to buy individual character morph sets to get skins.

4. Make it a distinct, overall improvement over the last Genesis generation, not just a few minor tweaks like G8 was from G3.

2. and 4. are probably incompatible. I'm not sure what you mean by 3.

Change the eye of Genesis 8

Moving should be OK - it's creating new pieces or removing existing areas that are the issue. You renmoved the lashes in DS, befroe going to Blender? If you just open the OBJ in Blender and immediately export again will DS load that as a morph without complaining (it should say that the morph didn't do anything and so wasn't created, but no actual errors)?

Cleavage?

Some of the recent fashions require breast morphs that lift up and push together to create cleavage. Is there a morph that will do this realistically. How is it done with available dials.

You can find free cleavage morphs for Genesis 3 and 8 female in the Renderosity free stuff.

These are free morph by togs and are named Classic Cleavage - G3F and Classic Cleavage - G8F.

Hope this helps.

5 feet 11 inches. still too short for volleyball or basketball. bummer

yeah, too bad there isn't some sort of magic dial out there to change a figures hieght. :)

We've been involved with pro beach volleyball for awhile and know several of the players. You can't get to their body types with simple dial spinnnig or any of the morph packages I've seen.
