We need to be able to sort sale items by category!miladyderyni_173d399f47 said:
Maybe it got changed - again! - since I last tried, but there was/is a category section under filters. But it only worked on the main sales page, not with promo selection or search pages. The 2 places we really need this.
ETA: I wish Daz would also allow to filter by price. They did long, long ago...as in the gen 4 days, or early Genesis 1 at latest. So handy when you're on a budget or trying to use "$X free items" deals.
You can do this - select price high to low in the drop down under "sort by"
Let the Controversy Begin - Revenue Generating Potential for DAZ and PAsDAZ AI Studio is quite remarkable. It's important to remember it's still in Beta - but already does some things better than mature products. In the DAZ published blog about AI Studio, there is this excititing news about future functionality:
In the Layered Products: It gives you the ability to select environments, characters, lighting, and more as predetermined elements in your creations. This gives you quick, predictable iterations granting you even greater control over your generated images. Our Published Artists will be creating these Layered Products, currently Victoria 9 and Michael 9 are available for use.
This is huge. I've been using MidJourney and its challenging and quite unpredicatable (which is core to the MJ 'philosophy.')
The question will arise about purchased DAZ Assets.
A lot of work is involved in creating (I call it 'training') AI models - my understanding is they are using images not the 3D assets themselves (but I'm new to this I may be wrong.)
I for one would have no problem purchasing an AI Add-on to products I already own. It takes a lot of time and work to create those AI models. (It would be great if the actual images they used were made available to use in other engines for a price, that that's a reach.) This also means all your favorite products from all generations become 'fair game' as well.
I don't want to post it here since this Forum is dedicated to DAZ AI Studio, but I reached out to a PA who graciously gave me permission to work with a product I purchased and use it in MidJourney, results in my Gallery and Instagram. I don't pretent to be an expert, and it's far from perfect. I only used images to train the AI, not the 3D assets themselves, and I bought the asset, so I'm pretty sure it's within the license, but this is all so new.
It gave me real insight into how much work is involved.
(I'm hoping DAZ lawyers are working on a legal loophole using purchased, proprietary AI modules to allow people to copyright AI works, but I have no idea what I'm talking about here. That would be a huge selling point for thool vs other venues if they could do a legal tap dance like that.)
It's all so new, and there will be many so so many questions, but so so many possibilities - It's amazing.
Let's the controvesy being.

Turbosquid has both honeycomb and bear-shaped honey bottles (I forgot about those.... I don't like honey very much): https://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm?keyword=honey&media_typeid=2. I haven't opened hexagon or Carrara on my new computer but I will see if I can whip up one of each since they don't look like complex shapes.
Yeah, they do, the nice ones kinda pricey. I wish there was more native DAZ items.

Trying to fix skirt distortion but having troubleIt's been a few days since this was posted and you may have already gotten this answered on the blender forum, but I have your answer. The cyan-colored edges on your model are "hard edges".Hard edges maintain their sharpness when smooth shading is turned on. To remove the hard edges, follow these steps:
Select the skirt and go into Edit Mode>turn on edge selection > press Shift while selecting all of the cyan edges (the selected cyan edges turn a whiter cyan when selected) > click "Edge" dropdown > click "Clear Sharp" > the cyan edges now turn orange (with the last selected edge turning white) > your model is now entirely smooth.
Above "Clear Sharp" is "Mark Sharp," which adds the cyan sharp edges to objects. Sometimes when importing an object into blender, sharp edges on the model appear. I'm not entirely sure why, but it might have to do with exporting from the one 3D software to another. It doesn't happen all the time, but if it does, the sharp objects happen in strange places (such as on random parts of a character's face). Its best practice to check models for things such as face orientation, sharp edges, loose geometry (random vertices floating around), and do a limited dissolve (merge overlapping/identical faces) when you import models. (To delete loose edges: Mesh > Clean Up > Delete Loose. To do Limited Dissolve: Mesh > Clean Up > Merge by Distance.) I hope your skirt project has been going well.

Hello! I did Poser stuff until I stopped and never went back to it. So changed my objective. Being sincere, I used to work from sunrise to midnight, 2 teens to educate... No time for another software. That's all. Plain and simple. But now I'm full into Daz studiomcorr said:Fabiana said:

How does this square with the fact that you used to almost exclusively make things for Poser. Many of those products were not made for Daz (and you often advised buyers about this).

Trying to create character from imageHello everyone, I come to you with an interesting search, I was touring through my old deviant favs and I guess a user decided to go AI.I did like the image and I found this image.
Now I've seen this facial structure in the world (The real one), I'm not sure which ethnicity to look for or exact terms and I'm trying to figure out which genesis 8/9 character or shapes I need to obtain to get a similar shape and features. I could really use any pointers, skin textures, heads to use for it please, thank you!

Can you read my mind now Richard?Well, that might explain some things.
Oh, and in the cupboard beside the TV probably.

Where to find Iradiance HDRI packs in program?wildbillnash said:
I did find a way to find them. They are under the Products folder under the Content Library tab. They are seperated by their names. To find the iRadiance named products I look in the "I" folder. Any other HDRI product I want to find, I search for it by their product names. The HDRIs are still scattered, but a little easier to find.
Now I wonder if there is a way to create a link to the product wherever I want?The Skies of iRadiance – Sunny Sky HDRIs files that I have are presets (duf files). Each preset will load an HDRI into the Environment Map by double clicking on its icon in either the Content Library or in Smart Content. You could create a new Product containing all of the files from your six iRadiance products organized, if desired, by using Categories.
Optionally, you could create Custom Actions for each preset and put those in the menu bar or tool bar.

Can you read my mind now Richard?Daz Studio 5 development updateTorquinox said:
Noah LGP said:
iSeeThis said:
I asked Bard.Google.com;
will daz 5.0 include ai features?
it replied;
Yes, Daz Studio 5.0 will include AI features. In a recent forum post, Daz 3D stated that they are working on a number of AI features for Daz Studio 5.0, including:
AI denoiser: To reduce noise and improve the quality of rendered images.
AI upscaler: To increase the resolution of rendered images without sacrificing quality.
AI face enhancer: To improve the realism of rendered faces.
AI background enhancer: To improve the realism of rendered backgrounds.
Daz 3D has not yet released any specific details about these features, but they have stated that they are still under development and that more information will be released closer to the release date of Daz Studio 5.0.In addition to the above features, there is also the possibility of other AI features being added to Daz Studio 5.0 in the future. For example, Daz 3D has previously expressed interest in developing AI-powered tools for posing and animating figures, as well as for generating new content.

Is this reply from here? I've tried to get the message but found none. Anyone knows about this please tell me where to read it. Thank you!
Tafi is already working on a Character Generator (AI text to 3D), it's a feature I would like to see in Daz Studio 5.
Without sources, this is made-up nonsense.
Without sources supporting the statement, it might still be true (you can't say either way if you don't have your own info to refute the assertion, so an agnostic approach here is logically the most defensible), but "made-up" could arguabley be correct, ... although there is stuff that has no basis in truth, and then there is stuff that is based on some (possibly partial) truth or information, which we normally call "conjecture." There ... cleaned it up for you!

Fabiana has been making products for DS too for quite a few years now, and the products she moved here are recent DS products, not the older Poser ones (which, btw, worked perfectly fine in DS with some materials adjustments and could definitely have been moved as is)
