Are you saying you installed Daz Central, without installing Daz Studio?

I don't use Daz Central, but I'm pretty sure you need Daz Studio installed for it to work.

If I'm misinterpreting what ou're asking I apologize.

Hello everyone, I just installed the central daz and it does not start, when it is run, the following box appears

render process exited with code: 41, do you want to reload the page?

And so every time I open it, the application looks blank and I can't do anything but close it, hopefully you can help me with this, thank you very much

I used the Daz Central to install it.

I did find the pdf manual within Daz Studio. If I recall correctly it was installed in the content library, instead of the smart content library.

I'm not sure what you mean by installing it inside Daz Studio.

And thanks for your help.

You don'ty need Daz Central. I'm not sure about manual install for Daz Studio. I use DIM and it still works. At the very worst get DIM install DS through it and then go back to installing content manually.

I have been using Daz 4.10 and now find I have to have 4.11 or 4.12 in order to use dforce hair, such as what is found on that cute new kitten that I recently purchased Moshi.

My biggest question is what will happen to my current Daz and all the content I have installed if I install 4.11 or 4.12

My next biggest question is do I have to have Daz Central to download and install Daz...I am not a fan of that kind of install, I prefer manual. Also, I have been reading the forums and Daz Central has too many problems for me to risk using it. What other options are there?

No, take notice they did not do 600 iterations. The CPU added 174 iterations during this run, which significantly helped.

I'm not going to lie.  This thread is so confusing.  Just render the scene and tell us how long it took and what the setup was.  Shesh.

Perhaps they did not know it was on? I don't know. It got my attention because that time is like my 2x 1080tis, so I knew something had to be fishy as there is no way 2x 1070ti should match that. Then I saw the line with the CPU. This is actually pretty interesting because most of the time the CPU does't add much to Iray. But in this case whatever CPU it is did quite a bit of work and made a big impact on the final time.

Most of the people would even go as far as saying buying a top end CPU is a waste if you are doing Iray with GPU. This might suggest otherwise.

So what kind of CPU are you using there, EBF2003? Is this a new AMD Ryzen?

Can't quote exact gospel/verse on it at the moment, but if you go and read Iray's official documentation on how it handles load balancing, it has a mechanism where if a single Cuda device out of multiple active Cuda devices during a Photoreal render takes significantly longer than the others to transmit its assigned portion of converged pixels back for inclusion in the central framebuffer, Iray's scheduler assumes that something is wrong with that device and automatically RE-assigns it's current workload to the other Cuda devices in the system. What this effectively means is that once you get beyond a certain rendering performance difference between your CPU and GPU(s), Rendering WITH your CPU results in WORSE overall rendering performance than without since - unbeknownst to you (there is never any indication of any of this in the log file) your fast GPUs are constantly being tasked with double processing data that your CPU is already processing. Hence why EB2003 gets BETTER performance with his Xeon + 1070s. Whereas I, with my 8700K + Titan RTX, get WORSE performance with CPU also enabled.

Not trying to get too far off here, but the results of the Xeon are pretty interesting.

Having a slower device dropped makes sense, but then again it doesn't make sense with the different possible GPU combinations out there. There are people who have used the bottom of the barrel GPUs combined with high end GPUs that offered even greater gaps in performance. SY had a GTX 740 with a 980ti and they all played nice together. The 740 is garbage by any standard and there are CPUs that are faster than it, especially today. That's just one example. I had a 1080ti paired with a 970, and one time a 670. I could test that 670 out for kicks to see if it still works with a 1080ti.

I am surprised how well the 22 core Xeon hangs with the 1070tis. Its not really that much slower than a single 1070ti looking at the iteration counts. 1070tis are pretty solid cards for Iray, they are right there with 1080s in performance. It makes me VERY curious how well the new Ryzens handle Iray since they are clocked so much higher than any Xeon while still packing a good number of cores, core that have much better IPC than before.

I would live to see a Ryzen 12 core 3900X paired with a 2080ti or any GPU for that matter and see how they do.

I have a 980ti and a Threadripper 1950x (16/32). In Iray, the 980ti is around 30-40% faster and on occasions more. In Blender the 2.83 and on the Threadripper is at worst about the same, but often much faster, even 30-40% is not uncommon, and on occasions much more.

Hello,

where exactly can i find the installer for the 3dsmax DAZ bridge?

I can`t find it in my product library and not in DAZ Central of course. I can`t find any bridge plugins at all?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Meli

or you can remove Daz Central and keep DIM

choice is yours. From what I've seen DIM does more; it is good for finding stuff too.

Silly question I expect, LOL! Can I remove DIM if I now use Daz Central?

Edit: long story short, some firewall WAS blocking installers.
Would delete post but doesn't seem I can.
Apologies!

I need some help with the installation. I can see the scripts but no Create fluidos things is showing up in the edit bar.

This is for Product Sku: 69049, no previous fluidos installation. Fluidos is not showing up in the installed plugins.

Dazstudio 4.12
Found the issue after reading the manual install readme.
 

If you use DIM, you need to install the  Fluidos II for Daz Studio LITE for DAZ Studio 4.5+ (Win 64-bit)  (or the Mac 64-bit version) , not only the content and tutorial. Daz Central can install all the files with one click.

@Alberto
The offline download page is missing 

 

Fluidos II for Daz Studio LITE for DAZ Studio 4.5+ (Win 64-bit)
and
Fluidos II for Daz Studio LITE for DAZ Studio 4.5+ (Mac 64-bit)
Please make sure to add those, the product is currently defunct.

These files cannot be manually downloaded, but you can download them using DIM, and then, install them manually if you wish.

You need to take everything in /21630_Genesis3MaleClothing/Content/ and place it in C:\Users\Gondar\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\, where it will merge with the existing folders of the same name. However, it is simler to use Daz Central or Daz Install Manager, or to use the Install pane inside DS - it looks as if yoru paths are set up for Install Manager.

There's nothing special to do, simply install it either with DIM, Daz Central or manually.

DIM and DazCentral installed on the new machine will not see it as installed there, as the list of installed content is stored locally.

I purchased 3 new products from Daz Studio and was told I needed Dazcentral. Downloaded it and then downloaded the files.Those three are the only products listed in my Smart content and they show up with the warning image and loading them into daz gives "could not open file: File does not exist.  How can that be when Dazcentral installed the character? So now what happened to the $1000 dollars worth of files I bought. I always used the default DIM install with no problems and Dazcentral "installed" the last three. Please help

Nothing requires Daz Central, Install Manager still works. You probably just need to reset your content directories to those used by DIM - download this script and drag it into the DS Viewport to run it.

The first house, from 1856, was very sturdy and very well built- with those types of Lath and Plaster walls.  There were also the original pocket doors that separated the living from the dining rooms, a large bay window in the dining room, and a huge picture window in the living room that was six feet by five feet, and both the bay windows and picture windows were topped with the ornate leaded glass decor.  The windows were all original rope pull, lead glass windows in the house-but they were eventually replaced.  However, the dimensions of the originals were kept, even with the expense of the sheer size of them (they were taller than most modern windows, and therefore much more expensive to replace).

They had kept the iron caps within the central chimney so that the bedrooms upstairs could choose to use wood burning furnaces and tap into the main chimney stack for the exhaust.  The original claw foot tub was upstairs as well.  Even haunted, I miss that house.  I did go by it a few years ago, still standing strong even if the people that own it now tore out all of the landscaping (I'm talking about grapevines that were planted when the house was built, among other things) and they did change a lot of the interior decorating-but I never did go back inside.

There were many things that happened in that house; from waking up with brusing around my neck, arms and legs to missing eye glasses (later found in the cast iron wood burning stove in my bedroom, or the walk in closet up on a shelf), moved glasses of water or soda bottles I had finished the night before but didn't want to wander into the kitchen at 3 am to put it in the sink, to seeing figures walk past me in mirrors or the TV (on or off, didn't matter), hearing heavy foot falls (like someone wearing very heavy boots) walk from the upstairs bathroom, down the hall to the attic access halway, then back to the stairwell, half way DOWN the steps, and back up again, to hearing someone whisper in your ear.  In part, it was so much that it was half of the reason why I never selpt.  When you lay in bed hoping not to be woken up with something choking you again, it's kinda hard to sit back and relax.  Even worse when it happens and you can kinda-sorta see the line of a face over you, but nothing else.  Literally.  That one happened before I even went to sleep- I was laying there reading, finally put the book aside to Try and get to sleep.  Turned the light off (the curtain was open, so I could see the inside of the bedroom with the street lamp at the corner of the block shining in), rolled onto my back and BAM- hands on my throat and no one in my room.

I didn't sleep after that for a day or so until I ended up going to a friend's house and stayed there for the weekend.  

How do we get 2.0? The version Daz Central and DIM install is 1.9.5.

And there are STILL items included in the Special Items section that aren't discounting at all, like https://www.daz3d.com/aura-for-genesis-8-female and https://www.daz3d.com/monica-hair-for-genesis-8-females , as well as the Feed The People bundle, which shows as FREE but goes to a dead link since it's no longer even in the store.   

Seriously, is there anybody who checks things before the store goes live?   

Since it goes live at midnight, then it is highly unlikely any salaried staff will be looking at that time.

I wrote "before it goes live", as in actually pretesting the ads to make sure they don't blow up from simple logic errors.  And I'm sorry, but the excuse about no one being at DAZ really doesn't cut it, especially not in these days when a huge percentage of Americans are working from home.  If DAZ insists on starting the new sales at DAZ midnight, and they can't seem to be able to launch a single sale without errors, then they need to have a late shift to cover the inevitable screw ups rather than asking their customers to grin and bear it.  That's just common business sense and there are plenty of IT people who LIKE working the late shifts... and even more who can work remotely from other locations.  Simple fact - Renderosity launches their new sales every single night at midnight Central Time, and they have a tiny fraction of the errors that DAZ does.          

Try to uninstall it and install it again, in DAZ Central. Worked fine for me!

Daz Connect is installing through Daz Studio, rather than manually or through Install Manager/Daz Central.

Earlier this month my faithful Daz rig died, taking the C: drive with it. Fortunately I have off-site backups that should let me get back most of the personal files I had on it, and all my Daz products were stored on an external drive that is still OK.

So, I now have a shiny new PC and, first things first,  I want to get Daz up and running.

I've installed Install Manager (Daz really want you to load Daz Central, but cobblers to that), and then installed Daz Studio itself. I've changed the content directories in DIM and Studio to get My Daz3d Library from the external drive, and that seems to work fine when getting things from the content library.

What I'm not seeing is anything in Smart Content (which I rarely use, but still want), and DIM thinks all the products I've bought still need to be downloaded. I guess I could download them all again, but there are over 7000 of them, and I'm gonna be spending enough time downloading my backup. Is there any way to short-cut the process?

Note that I have not yet started downloading my backup, so if there's stuff in it that I should be prioritising, let me know!
