It's just that I'm more comfortable with Poser. I always liked Firefly more than I like 3Delight. EZSkin, a free python script, can marvelously add SSS to ancient skin texture sets, there's a very flexible and very free weightmapped Vicky 4, I've got most of her morph expansion packs, the more recent textures for V4 by Maddelirium, Sabby, Danae, Godin, Sav and others are excellent, Syltermermaid is releasing her old V4 characters for free, at about 10 per month; Mankahoo and others are still doing new hairdos for V4 for very reasonable prices. There's a lot of clothing sets for V4 and M4 that I still have wishlisted, and they usually have very good discounts during sales. There's some excellent free shaders for Firefly, like Bagginsbills' Car Shaders, and Colm's Render Studio lighting sets for Poser produce very nice results. I have Terradome 2 and some of the Dreamland Models suburban sets that are all Poser only. I'm comfortable with Poser, it does what I want it to do, and I never got around even to playing around with my new Studio content.

Ah, but the "being more comfortable" is a totally different thing compared to "You need to invest a lot of cash into DAZ to even start rendering".

Also, you pay for your Poser 11 platform. That money, if invested into the "basics" like a G2 morphs during sale when they are off at 80%, wouldn't end you up any more expensive. As for the free shaders, there's quite a few of them, like OSO3Ds, for example, plus the base ones that come with Studio. And the freebies section here in the forum has tons of stuff, too.

In any case, it's not worth to argue about preferences; I had the same experience with Poser than you had with Studio. It just won't work for me, despite some of the neat things Poser can do. As they say, to each their own.

Right-clicking on the figure in the viewport will open a dialogue box that has the powerloader at the bottom, which will open it, allowing you to choose which morph packages you wish to load, as you said, Richard.

Sempie, no one forces you to use Iray and the latest Genesis Line with Studio.

3DL doesn't need a card, and you can render the V4 characters or older Genesis Generations with it. Like, I am still mostly using G2 in my workflow.

But it is true that newer content is mostly for G8 and Iray here in the store. And while I have no problem with smaller Iray scenes, I have saved a lot of money thanks to G8.

I think the least you would need for every Genesis Generation would be the basic morph sets - I only have these for Genesis 1, that was rather functional to start with, with a lot of morphs already built in. For Genesis 2 I have no morph packs, and, through some giveaways from the recent past, Victoria, Stephanie and Lee 6 - in fact, Genesis 2, for me, is still a very new and untried generation, for which I own next to nothing. For Genesis 3 I only have Mike and Vicky 7 during last november's give-away action - (missed out on the infamous big Glitch, though.) For Genesis 8 I have the base characters only, never even installed them yet. I think I only have the first Genesis generation to a point that I could be creative with it; Mike, Vicky, Stephanie 5 and the young teens, and a lot of morph extensions, even a couple of commercial characters, hairdos and clothing sets, and Wilmap really made a lot of clothes for them. (I'm not into fetish, steampunk or fantasy either. and some of the more recent historical clothes seem to be cosplay-oriented rather than accurate; I'm mostly into contemporary, period and historical stuff.)  I recently finaly did get AoA's lighting sets and the recent Reflective Radiance set for 3Delight during sales  - I was still on Überenvironment, which I found very unintuitive, never managed to wrap my mind around that one. My ancient Quadro 1700 died on me a couple of months ago so I got a new 4GB GTX 1050 ti, which would sort of support small iRay renders - I did manage to do a clothed V5 iRay render with a basic light setup in around 30 mins; the only iRay render I ever finished up till now. Maybe the new Render Throttle for iRay would help; the old one really boosted 3Delight, as I remember it. My DELL workstation my be 10 years old, but it still carries two quadcore Xeon CPUs and 36 GB RAM. So in a way, I could get started with DAZ Studio.

...for older adopters such as myself it was relatively inexpensive until Iray hit.

I have been on a tight budget (low paying job) ever since I got into this, and now it is even tighter as I live off a meagre fixed pension. 

What I do is focus more on morph, skin, materials, and other merchant resources which make it rather easy to get quite a bit out of less. Yes it involves a bot more effort than just plopping in and posing the latest pre-built character.  I never buy pro bundles anymore as most of the clothing included doesn't fit the style or genre of the work I do (not into fantasy, horror, or skimp), and with all the merchant resource content I have, I can come close to creating just about any character I want just by pushing morph sliders around and using DFormers.  So I usually only purchase a base figure and maybe one or two related items which I like and know I will use.  The last Pro bundle I ever purchased was the Young Teens5 (almost four and a half years ago) as it included two characters, a nice collection of appropriate contemporary clothing, nice hair, morphs, and poses. I only ended up with the Mike and Vicky 5 pro bundles because I upgraded to Carrara 8,5 pro and they were part of the package.

I still make use of older clothing and hair content as well as morphs brought in through Generation X (which is part of why I stopped at G3 as the PA who created the plug in passed on).  So I have a fairly extensive "gene pool" to draw from for character development.

Back when I first got involved in this, being resourceful was almost the norm (again particularly if you were on a budget).  I remember spending months involved in what several of us called the "Lil' Vicky project" where we pushed morphing limits to new extremes and created our own custom morphs to make teen and child characters when there were none available for Gen4 (K4 came out fairly late and didn't get much support). We even made use of data like growth proportion charts so a 12 year old looked like a 12 year old and not simply a miniature version of an adult.  Yeah I'll admit it's a heck of a lot easier today with utilities Genesis and Zevo's Growing Up morphs.Below is just one of the results of my experimentation from the "Lil' Vicky" days. 

True, this doesn't soften the blow of hardware expense to get the most from Iray.  However, the Daz programme today has so many more tools available than we had at our disposal a decade ago.  In my book, Pro bundles, you don't really need them unless you want the "naughty bits" (then just get one for each gender).  I feel there still are ways you can enjoy this even on a tight budget  (I've been doing it for over ten years, five of which were working on a 4 GB 32 bit notebook).  It may take a little more effort a little more time to work things out but it is still possible.

The thing with DAZ Studio, the way I see it, is, that to get the most out of it, you first have to fork out a lot of cash for the hardware - nVidia-cards with a lot of VRAM and cuda-cores aren't exactly cheap - and then have to invest like crazy in the Genesis line of characters, that aren't exactly cheap either. Pre-Genesis, often characters from the same generation could use each other's textures right out of the box; now every new base character seems to have it's own UV-mapping. Every new pro-pack for every new base charakter will set you back a hundred bucks or so and they get released by one per month and often more - not to mention all of the extra morph expansion packs an cross-generation plug-ins. Every two years or so, after releasing two dozen of base charakters or so, they release a new Genesis-generation and support for the previous Genesis generation mostly stops. (Victoria 4 lasted over six years, is still frequently used in Poser, and is still supported at other stores) Apart from Wilmap's clothing sets, there's not too much free stuff for the Genesis charakters. Also sets seem to be getting more and more expensive, with all of the extra detail and added shaders. To get the most out of Studio, it seems that you have to have at least a hundred dollars to spend every month, which I can't. Even with the free distribution of the base software, DAZ seems to be aimed at the relatively rich. That may be a good business model for DAZ, but it's not good for users with a lesser budget. In the old days, using Poser 4, I used free content only for almost two years (and there was a lot of it) before making my first purchases; that's sort of hard to imagine for people starting out fresh with DS 4.10....

Sorry you are not able to enjoy this hobby on the level you would like to. I am sure there are many that are in the same boat or worse, it's the nature of life. DAZ is a business and they have to make money to stay open, just like any other business. DAZ has gone above and beyond to make it easier for everyone with the crazy sale prices they have. You just need to be patient and keep an eye out for the deals.

.The beauty of 3D is that you don't have to spend money to participate in it. DS is free and there are many modeling apps and image editing software on the web for free, so it's totally up to you what you get out of this 3D deal.

I saved it from the G2M fit (where the morphs worked) as a figure/prop asset, yes. The beard then, when I reloaded the G 2M saved version with another G2M character, had no longer the morphs for the face.

So again, what did I do wrong, ang can someone please explain this for idiots, because that is how I feel with this product right now (EDIT: I understand that the prodct is made for G8M, but yeah, the "easy transfer" to generations below is not quite as simple as the postings suggest... So: Frustration, possibly more at my own inabilities than at anything else.).

Thank you.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a JCM that depends on two or more conditions. For example, a JCM that will activate when the arm is up AND back and not only when it's up OR back. Is that possible?

Cheers,

Martha E.

That is a multi-rotational JCM and it is, indeed, possible. I do not know how to do it though :D But you can put a TON of conditions on a morph. If you're searching the forums, wiki or YouTube, multirotational is what you're looking for.

Rendered with DAZ Studio 4.10.0.107 (3Delight)
Other free software used: GIMP v2.8.18 and Irfanview 4.41
No postwork, except for combining the three renders into one image and spicing it up a little with the AltaLux Image Enhancement Filter (Effect) by Stefano Tommesani that comes with Irfanview.

"As Green As... a DAZ3D Studio newbie?" (or maybe a 3D Art Freebie Challenge newbie?)

HD add-ons aren’t combined, I use them all the time and they are separated into head and body.

I mix HD characters, with HD add ons and separate HD morph packs like Zev0’s aging morphs. You can create a base that’s hyper realistic before you even add on normals and bump mapping.

Make sure to preview your HD add ons by setting the preview window to smooth shaded and changing the preview subdivision of your character to at least 3 or preferably 4 in the parameters menu.

Remember you have to set your render level to 4, most people say 3, but that’s way too smooth to me.

Well... maybe you can solve the next riddle... I transferred the morphs all right, then saved as an asset. But when I load the beard now to another  G2M, the morphs for the expressions are gone? How can I preserve the transfer utility result?

Did you save it as a figure/prop asset or are you doing the transfer again? 

Quick FYI: The beard loads in with the lengthen morph on. This was a request from a couple testers because they kept loading in more than one because they couldn't see it loaded and that adds up to a lot of polys fast :D The Zero Shape preset will put it back to gone basically so you can start shaping it with hair not everywhere. If that makes sense.

Thanks so much for the zero shape, it is much appreciated. I thought it very strange that it loaded with hair showing and I had to go in and zero it out before using.

Hah, yeah, I originally had it load in zero'd, but *every* one of my testers kept accidentally loading in a bunch of beards because they didn't realize it had loaded so they were madly multi-clicking. They were geting a million hair polys in the scene without realizing it.

I've made a couple morphs to adjust for this and a couple other things I've noticed. I'll put the update in asap to fix this. 

Thank you for the update!

I'm going through the transformation process, and I was just wondering, when I transfer it to G3 and want to save it out, would I save it as a wearable Preset? Or an asset?

EDIT: I seem to do something wrong with the transfer to G2M. I do get it to fit properly using the above mentioned method, but I don't get the beard to follow the facial movements, even though I used the transfer tool. I think I missed something...

Is there anyone who successfully transferred the beard from G8M to G2M, who can give me a step-by-step rundown? (And yeah, I'd actually pay for a working version of the beard in G2M right now...)

Ah, that's because G2M doesn't have rigged faces. You have to transfer the morphs for expressions with the transfer utility. 

I tried that, but for some reason it didn't work... ?

That’s because autofollow is not turned on for G2 by default. You’ll want to turn on autofollow for the expressions in the parameters pane BEFORE fitting the facial hair. 

And WHERE do I do that? I can turn on Autofollow for the entire figure of G2, but that does zilch.

I apologize for being an idiot.

NM, to slow to reply, LOL

I've made a couple morphs to adjust for this and a couple other things I've noticed. I'll put the update in asap to fix this. 

Thank you for the update!

I'm going through the transformation process, and I was just wondering, when I transfer it to G3 and want to save it out, would I save it as a wearable Preset? Or an asset?

EDIT: I seem to do something wrong with the transfer to G2M. I do get it to fit properly using the above mentioned method, but I don't get the beard to follow the facial movements, even though I used the transfer tool. I think I missed something...

Is there anyone who successfully transferred the beard from G8M to G2M, who can give me a step-by-step rundown? (And yeah, I'd actually pay for a working version of the beard in G2M right now...)

Ah, that's because G2M doesn't have rigged faces. You have to transfer the morphs for expressions with the transfer utility. 

I tried that, but for some reason it didn't work... ?

That’s because autofollow is not turned on for G2 by default. You’ll want to turn on autofollow for the expressions in the parameters pane BEFORE fitting the facial hair. 

And WHERE do I do that? I can turn on Autofollow for the entire figure of G2, but that does zilch.

I apologize for being an idiot.

NM, to slow to reply, LOL

Redz, THANK YOU!

That was the part that was missing. The transfer worked fine now, and there's no more hair on the teeth when G2M smiles.

Open the log file, then run the Transfer Utility and - assuming it hangs and that you then close DS - refresh the log (you may be prompted to this by your text editor) and look at the end - it's messages, if there are any, relating to the Transfer Utlity operation that are of interest.

Is it doing this with everything you try, or just this specific item?

For each expression, in the parameters bar, there’s a cog in the top right. If you click on it you have an option to check autofollow. If you are in Edit Mode (selected from the drop down menu of the parameters tab) you can CTRL select multiple expressions, then right click and enable autofollow

Quick FYI: The beard loads in with the lengthen morph on. This was a request from a couple testers because they kept loading in more than one because they couldn't see it loaded and that adds up to a lot of polys fast :D The Zero Shape preset will put it back to gone basically so you can start shaping it with hair not everywhere. If that makes sense.

Thanks so much for the zero shape, it is much appreciated. I thought it very strange that it loaded with hair showing and I had to go in and zero it out before using.
