By the way, why is my forum page saying "waiting for www.facebook.com" at the  bottom - what has Facebook for to do with it? (I don't use it)

All those social meedia icons down at the bottom of the page are links to the sites - and a form of trackers.

They are back for me - having been clear since April 19th. Maybe it has a 14-day timer? I was fine till about ten minutes ago, now I get the pop-up on every store, forum and gallery page.

By the way, why is my forum page saying "waiting for www.facebook.com" at the  bottom - what has Facebook for to do with it? (I don't use it)

I plan to do an image of a toddler sized mermaid for my new grand daughters bedroom. My daughter is doing an under the sea theme for her room.

I have no clue how many pixels I need to save my render out to for the poster dimensions. I do know a higher dpi is good, such as 300.

Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

I found this on one search... 

Standard Poster Size The most commonly used sizes for posters are 18” x 24”, 24” x 36” and 27” x 40”. These are the most requested sizes at SLB Printing, Inc. for common posters that print on our wide format latex inkjet printers. By no means is this the complete list of sizes.

And I found this on another search...

Print Size vs. Image Size Chart

Yes. I see this [attached image 1] and verified it manually by following the file save path. Everything shows in my library saved files with previous downloads. But if I try to access it using DIM (since it doesn't show in a key word search in the Smart Content) to open it directly in Daz Studio it shows an error code [attatched image 2.]

That is apparntly symptomatic of not having a database entry for the product, possibly because PostgreSQL was not running when it was installed. On potential cause is closing DS and immedaitely opening DIM, which can lead to the shut down signal from DS blocking the start signal from DIM. Try running DIM after DS has closed, or don't close DS at all, then reinstall the product.

I simply get downgraded to shaded view each time I change a parameter. have to switch to shaded, back to iray and it renders fine. Latest Nvidia drivers, latest public build. For me it's definitely new, never had this issue on previous beta builds.

That's the expected behaviour.  It's not "downgraded"; if you look in the viewport view-type dropdown it will still be set to Iray.  That's the initial state before the first iteration has been obtained from Iray but after the geometry has been set up.  Sometimes it can take a long time to get the first iteration sometimes it might never happen if the video card runs out of oomph.  I won't speculate on precisely when the state in the video card is reset and precisely how much, doing so is against the forum rules, however it is worth your while lookinig for errors in the log file and running a separate GPU monitor program.  You may find that some other app has sucked up all the video resources.

The bug I detected is worse than I thought.  Last night I decluttered the same scene some more by removing more "out-of-view" furnishings; the Iray preview did not change but some of the furnishings I removed were visible!  When I rendered the newly !visible furnishings were missing.  When I swapped between outline-box and Iray modes the ghost stuff did disappear.  I rarely use Iray preview for decluttering; it's normally easier in CPU (texture) mode as I can set the ceiling to not show for interior scenes (this doesn't work in an Iray preview).  Consequently this may be old behaviour that I've only just encountered.

You didn't get what I meant. It renders. You change a morph parameter during Iray preview, it no longer updates renders. EVER. You can wait 1 hour, it won't update. If you switch back to shaded/texture and back to Iray, it renders back in under 1 second. I also have a 4090, if that makes you feel any better.

Edit: Instead of updating renders, you simply revert to shaded preview, and if you move the camera around it updates Iray for a few miliseconds then reverts back to shaded. Only way out is to manually move to texture/shaded and back to iray

Oh I can't believe I missed the last couple of months of this challenge?!  Can't keep track of time and remember to check the different forum sections... The renders are all looking mighty fine. I need to set aside time to look through them more leisurely...

Okay, TOON/ANIME/MANGA. Let's see if my brain can come up with something this month...

Good Morning!

Couple of things to note from your renders and screencaps.

1. Lu and Xue hairs both load and only come with Iray Materials (MDL)
2. The hairs in your renders/screencaps appear to have had the Opacity/Transparency maps stripped off of them in addition to the shader being flipped to 3Delight (RSL) this is why you are not getting the soft effect you see in the promo images and artwork.

Things to check:

1. Have you redownloaded both hairs and re-installed them recently? The files I just downloaded this morning are working properly and loading the Iray mats
2. Have you updated the Daz Studio Default Resources they were updated a while ago to add in the Omnishader for Iray and I believe other things may have changed as well.
     You can download them either from your account or via DIM:
         For your account they are listed under "Daz Studio 4.x Pro" as "DefaultResourcesForDAZStudio422"
         Via DIM just type "Default" in the search bar

What tmezone are you in (OPPS, is in the title)?  I think I remember from an old post that coupons use UTC 0 for switch. It should be MT imo, but waiting to spend in the last hour has lead to a bad experience for others on the forum.

Edit: can't type on tablet... 

 But it shouldn't lead to bad results...  the computer knows what time it is. and I know from experience all deals did at 11:59 and 59 seconds in the cart no matter whether the webpages still show the deals on. 
===
So the rest of the stuff should change at the same time also. the computers can actually slice it a lot closer than a second. 
Certainly the net can be slow displaying changes .... but showing changes that haven't happened yet is time traveling and I don''t think that happens yet. 

It sounds like you are half way to success, at least! Please post back about if/how you solve the other preset path issues. I think this will help someone else in the future, who might be searching the forum for discussions about this problem.

Is anybody else experiencing Pro features loading extremely slowly and/or not at all? I'm waiting a long time for the price history graph and the forum/gallery links, and sometimes they don't show. My subscription re-upped this morning, so that could be it, too.

edit: I'm also not seeing the Show Only Wishlist and other extra options on the store pages.

After your subscription is renewed be sure you go to 'Email Notifications' and resave your email and passcode. That may help with seeing the extra options. 

Thank you. That seems to have done it.

One of the issues we have with Daz's product locators is that they use a 'normalised' name instead of the SKU; this means that when a product name changes, bookmarks become invalid and the product hard to locate and purchase when required.

It is sometimes possible to find the product from a ReadMe using the SKU, this happened with SKU94112; unfortunately, the ReadMe for SKU97310 has the old product URI so the search cannot be automated.

Thank you. I've replaced the urls and names in our database to reflect the recent change to these products.

Thanks

Sometimes I want to see all of the hair in my Daz Studio that's native to G9, and exclude the stuff I've converted from earlier generations. Helpfully, the most recent converter from RSSY includes the affix "(CV)" at the end of all converted products. Is there a way, when searching Daz, to search for everything except those products that contain CV in their name?

(My backup plan is to use tags on the G9 products and search on key::g9native or similar, but if I can save myself that step, I'd love to.)

Nobody in the forum would know.

You can try to raise a ticket (help-request) to Daz.

Do you have any nested content directories? If you open the log (Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File) and search for nest you should be able to check.

I'll check, of course, but what is a nested content directory?  Some kind of sub-folder? 

Yes, having one folder set as a content diectory within another folder set as a content directory.

Hi Richard - I've now accessed the log file - thank you for your clear instructions.  I found 2 references to 'nest', attachements 1&2, and my most recent record of failed attempt to use the product, attachment 3.
