Okay, I get that PA's have to make a buck and female products outsell male, but today we FINALLY get a baseball outfit - and it's 'girly' and only suited to female characters?  Seriously?  What about tennis - there's a great recent product with props and poses for G9.  Tennis Fem ale clothing, you got at least three options on daz across generations and another bunch over at rendo.  For males? NOTHING.

Also been pleading with daZ for updated male first responder uniforms for a minute now, nothing new since G3.  Cop, firefighter uniforms.  Nothing.  Sexy female cops?  Knock yourself out.  Male characters?  Forget about it

Getting me seriously ticked off at this point

Hi there.  I understand your frustration - really I do.  I've noticed at least a couple of other posts on the forum today where people are crying out for male uniforms and other outfits.  But then I also note the problem for those who want to put together a real women's baseball team look.  (League of Their Own, anyone?)

What's the probability of the AI learning off your images on the DAZ forum/Gallery Ethin? Almost looks too similar to be chance.

The Daz add-on is trained only on Daz-owned images, not user or (currently) PA images.

That's good to know. 

I wonder if the images I see in the overwhelming ads could also be thrown into the training.  For example I see an ad showing six different women taking up approximately 20% of my screen.  They're pretty and since the advertisement is on the Daz website perhaps they could be added into the mix.

LG shouts out at McGyver (not McGovern)  Hey ho, McGyver.

I get it.  DAZ forum is no fun anymore with all these ads.   Also, long ago I gave up the masochistic tendency to buy DAZ things I don't use.  And AI has taken over my image fetish.  And even McGyver is gone from the forums.  So, I say to DAZ;  "Oh, you're no fun anymore."

Non-complaint:  Friends took me to Easter lunch at Red Lobster last Sunday.  Mmmm... tolerable seafood.

Complaint:  Monday eclipse weather here is now expected to be partly cloudy.  I hope there is a blue part visible at the right time and in the right spot.​

Non-complaint:  Symphony with my symphony buddy, still scheduled for this month.  Sibelius: Symphony #2, in Buffalo at Kleinhans Music Hall.  (ticket pricy, but transportation free. Wheee...)

Complaint:  But also this month are appointments for Urologist, Dentist, Cardiologist, and GP.  All in a two week period and each require at least one Uber trip.  Oh, my aching bank account.

I was tryin to exprot a g9 with genitalia attachment to fbx.
But got an error.

The log says: C Exception: Memory Access Violation - Attempted to read memory at address 0x61e09b30

What does the entire line of that warning say? It seems to be missing some of the details which will help guide us as to what the issue may be. ATM it could be one of a few problems. Since it's happening during exporting that narrows it down a bit. Doing a quick search, it could be a DS temp folder issue, a conforming issue, or a FBX export setting. Daz Studio 4.22 was having issues with the FBX exporter when geographs were involved and was fixed in version 4.22.0.4.

Err.

I got so tired of looking for stuff I had just bought that now I manually install everything. I still don't use "Smart Content" or DIM or Daz Central for anything. I did that when discovered it wasn't enough to know the name of the item I had bought; I had to know the Product Artist's name of everything I bought because that's how Daz and Poser set up their file structures. (I was looking for my new clothing item under People/Genesis 3 Male/Clothing/Brand-New-Item and it wasn't there because it's under People/Genesis 3 Male/Clothing/Some-Artist-I-Never-Heard-Of/Brand-New-Item instead.) There are whole forum threads about how to do that, but I could talk a little more about it here if anyone's interested in my personal solution. Other solutions may vary. But you know what? I know exactly where to find everything I own. Always. 

I've suddenly remembered why I'm hardly active on this forum.

Hello people of the forum! someone could help me with the textures of the hair I do not get that problem of the photo, where should I place the three textures so that the hair is not transparent or as if it were a ghost. I leave a capture. thank you and I hope q can help me! X(

https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-mi-everyday-construction-worker-bundle Purchased immediately. I have a story I'm working on this will be perfect for.

Only drawback to this one I see is that there don't seem to be any clean texture options. 

I feel the utility of the Construction Worker outfit is considerably lessened by the lack of clean (or at least cleaner) texture options.

I'm not saying the grime shouldn't have been an option, but I don't think it should have been the only option - I expect it would be extremely hard for an end user to remove it from the textures without basically redoing them, whereas a clean option could be dirtied up to my own satisfaction with any of several different grime products I have. Also, it could be dirtied up differently - here, if I need more than one worker at my construction site, every single one of them is going to have had the exact same accidents with a paintbrush. (Every different texture set for the trousers, regardless of colour, shows the exact same splodges on it).

If anything, the identicality in the dirt on every texture set to me strongly implies the dirt was an overlay layer (or layers) applied over the rest in the texturing process, and I'm guessing that could have been turned off to export clean texture sets.

I know whining forum users who say things like "I want to buy things like this, but this new product isn't up to my standards!" are a dime a dozen, but this does feel like quite an oversight in the production of the product. At the start of the day, the entire construction crew has identically soiled outfits?

It takes fabric shaders well, I think.

Thank you, kathrynmbaughman!  I'm enjoying my own cuteness overload with the images I'm seeing come out of DAZ AI Studio. :)

Guys i hate to add in post-hoc rules, lest you see me as some kind of tyrannical forum ogre. I've just added a quick stipulation regarding AI, as the new text-to-image tool has rather rudely dropped right in the middle of our holy union. It's no problem if you're using AI, as you're going to have to render the relic separately anyway, there's no real way around it without some kind of concerted effort. If you're using AI to a significant extent though, please leave an "AI" tag somewhere in your submission. We won't disregard submissions that contain AI, but it should hopefully reduce confusion among other forumites as to how you're compositing your scene. I'm sure everyone will maintain the spirit of competition, and not sully the dignity of our annual gathering. As you were investigators.

Took me a bit of time, DAZ froze, but yes, the ears and tail are part of https://www.daz3d.com/kiko-81 with 26 forum entries and some dealing with the fur and tail/ears. So if you are interested, may want to check out if there were other products that added to them. It's been almost 4 years, so I don't remember all the discussion for her.

The AI is less a problem than it first seemed. I used my ad block plug-in to surgically remove the AI button from the navbar, the button from my account interface and the thread from the forum. I felt better immediately! The editorial stuff is just stuff I don't/won't buy. 

Same here.

I wish I could find an ad block that worked with the Fire's Silk browser, or an alternative browser for Fire.  There used to be ad blocks and even Chrome for Fire but Amazon stopped allowing them in the store. No doubt Amazon was afraid people would be trying to make their tablet ad-free without paying the Ad-free Fire surcharge. But the only ads are the screen that comes up when the tablet turns on/wakes up, that you swipe away, and isn't part of the Silk browser. So not like **some forums** that have footer ads on every page, footer ads that mysteriously take up 1/4 to a full tablet page randomly. 

Mobile browsers are a problem! No plugins. IIRC, Google started that on Android Chrome and everyone else followed suit. Possibly, Google forced the issue as they own Android. I try to do most of my browsing from my PC where I have all the plug-ins. On my phone, FF gives pretty good protection vs ads, but I can't surgically remove page elements. I don't know anything about the Fire tablet or Silk browser. I stay as far away as possible from all things Amazon.

Her texture is really nice. Looks like a teenage girl with really good skin. Her arms look a bit short though?

For those who haven't heard of the name Hanako, may I invite you to search on the web about her role in Japanese folklore.

It is a bid odd...

Still, one could always apply just the head morph to any other body morph and walk away happy.

Hanako is a fairly common female name in Japan. It's not unique to Toire no Hanako-san. For instance, the mother of Satoshi, the protagonist in Pokémon, is named Hanako.

I just opened up 'Hair' in the main Sales page and on page 6, I found https://www.daz3d.com/su-everyday-long-hair-for-genesis-9-81-and-8-female and the bangs seem to have morphs which match this image, and is also a long straight hair. 

Thank you I didnt realise that was the same hair. 

You are welcome. The product is from Sue Yee and seems to come up in many queries for 'what's that hair' threads. I own it and still have to search for the hair by the image. As I looked at the promos again, I was surprised at how versatile it was. I really need to start rendering again.

Yeah!

Most people pay no attention to the different forums unless they are a regular to that particular one. Plenty of people hide all the other forums so they don't have to see them. That is why these types of announcements are always started in the commons and then told to go xyz for further discussion.

That would be me, so thanks for posting this announcement in Commons, otherwise I would have missed it.   Have bookmarked the AI forum for future reference.
