Yet another category talk.
I find Categories to be mostly helpful, but, yes, there are cases where they can be confusing. On a case-by-case basis for products, I try to reassign one or more assigned Categories. Sometimes, that works, and sometimes not because the Category assignment is baked more deeply into the content and my attempts results in items being assigned to two categories.. That’s usually even more confusing and I delete the Category that I tried to assign.
For several years, in the Tags tab of an item I have been adding Keywords to products, as needed, to help me find content via a keyword search. Sometimes I may add a unifying genre keyword (such as scifi so that I don’t have to depend on the variations used by vendors such as SciFi, Sci-Fi, or Sci Fi; or medieval, etc.), a vendor and/or store name (usually for products from third party sites), etc. I don’t need to assign keywords to every item in a product. I assign a keyword to just one item in a product. A keyword search brings up entire product packages that contains the keyword.
Also, you can leave Notes to yourself in a product but they are not searchable.
Creating Animations on Blender then exporting to Daz3DIn your video it is not clear how you animate the feet, as the ik controls don't move. If you animate mixing ik and fk controls then bake ik to fk I guess the addon is trying to preserve your fk animation, possibly altering the end result. This looks like a bug. If you can explain the steps to reproduce your animation I can try it myself and eventually prepare a bug report for Thomas.
However, if you use the IK controls to animate the feet, as it's usually done, then everything works fine here. I attached the videos for IK and baked FK, where you can see I use the IK controls to animate the feet. Just remove the zip extension to watch the mp4 videos, as the forum doesn't allow to upload mp4 directly.
note. important. If you imported the figure with locks and limits, then the daz FK limits may come in the way when switching IK or baking, as IK has different limits than FK. To prevent this it is best to import the figure without locks and limits, so just disable them in the global settings. May be this is what happens in your example if you didn't animate the feet on purpose.

Wallet Prop (rigged)A search for 'wallet' on the Forums just led to lots of posts about how Daz's sales keep emptying ours.

But a search for 'wallet' on the store brings up only one item (and it's a purse). I know of a few sets that include a static wallet/card holder prop (such as Junk Drawer), but what I'm hopefully looking for is a wallet that is rigged to open, and has morphs (or simply enough room) to accommodate cash, cards, license, etc.
Buy Something That Doesn't Work in Carrara? Post your Questions and Workarounds here. (please)oh I already knew its the DAZ TCB v Linear
been whining about that for years in D|S forum
and my lack of success at fixing it esp in FBX exports
(not hand keyframed, just have keyframes as opposed to aniblocks)
G9 just is extra! and using that script seems to bring out the worse
I posted this a while back
deleting twist bones etc helps
never use Aniblock importer on G9 also

It would be confusing to mix species 9and if the Catalympic team found out they might use it as a technicality to exclude me from the team, despite my obvious merits)
I like your Catalympics better than my Catlympics, so I am going to switch. And it goes better with Catalonia (thanks background). Catalympics is easier to say and read. Spell checker still doesn't like it, though. Stupid forum spell checker.
Too pedantic by half, most spell-checkers. Or maybe my typing just drives them up the wall.
I didn't think you used spell checkers!
Well, not here because they don't work - unless you flip to Source mode, but then it takes exception to all the HTML.
Enable SCAYT works, but Check Spelling locks up and I lose everything I have typed.

If you're having any difficulty with animation in Daz Studio (can be a bugger) and you're not sure what to do, you can feel free to hit me up with a PM in this forum. When it properly sends me a PM alert email (I've seen some long periods where this failed(?)) I'm always happy to help if I can - written, video, live stream... whatever

I hope they are fine and this is just a case of Human Resources mistakenly given a day off to all mods at the same time.
It's company picnic day?
It's get chased by the bears day. Sorry, several of us have had other calls on our time and didn't check the forums promptly. I have now reported that it isn't working for either group.
I guess that implies "it was no picnic." :)
Fixed for me.

Godsdamnit!
I just wrote a lengthy post, but the forum decided to time out on me. :(So, short version:
Thanks @Dartanbeck for doing the "set released" post, much appreciated!
Your praise makes me blush a bit, but it´s always great to read that you enjoy those sets! :)Well... I don't mean it lightly or underserved.
You know how it is when you need a service to be done and somebody is consistently doing such a beautiful job of fulfilling their end? You want to let them know that they're doing the right thing, so they know

I love how cool looking these are, and how efficiently they render - not to mention the fact that they're So Easy (just like the name) to work with!!!
Truly, Flipmode - no need to respond... but Thank You!!!

Products with LIE Textures & HD MorphsI have to say, I really love LIE Textures with matching HD Morphs. It can really transform a texture set, and make a cohesive look amongst several different characters. Though, there is no real way to search for such products. I thought about putting together a small list if other people wanted to find something similar. I know that @Esid and @FenixPhoenix have a few products like this as well.
• Dragonscale HD for Genesis 9
• Atlantean HD for Genesis 9
• Troll Stone Skin for Genesis 9Feel free to add below so I can make a comprehensive list.
[Solved] Metadata: how to remove a wrong Scene ID from a Compatibility Base ?Oh, it's very clever trick, I wish I thought about it.
Thank you for sharing it!
I'll edit the problematic .dsx files (and open a ticket, hoping for a fix), but in the meantime, I did it the following way (so I only have to deal with one product and not three):
1. I created a dummy.duf file in an empty library (not sure if it's really needed or if Daz Studio will accept to create a product without any file in the directory)
2. I created a product called Dummy Dummy (then changed it to '0 Dummy Dummy', thinking it would appear at the top of the reimport windows, but I forgot that it's sorted by store first and I have other stores in my database that DAZ3D and Local_User, so a better product is likely Z Dummy Dummy, no relation to Zeddicuss at all, I could also try to make it a DAZ3D product, but I prefer to avoid using the Daz3D store outside of products transfered from elsewhere and distributed without any metadata)
3. I loaded Genesis 3 Female, Genesis 8 Female and Genesis 9 Base (Dev version for G8F and G9, to load them a bit faster) and I selected them in the scene tab.
I opened the metadata data editor, unselected the correct Compatibility Bases, to prevent them from being saved in my dummy product, and saved the metadata (the screenshot was taken while the product was called Dummy Dummy):

4. I opened LOCAL_USER_0_Dummy_Dummy.dsx in my text editor (that file is located in ~/My Documents/DAZ 3D/Daz Studio/My Library/Runtime/Support on my Mac, I suppose it's in a similar place on a Windows computer) and replaced any mention of Genesis 9/Base by Dummy/DummyG9, and so on eve if I don't think it's necessary (if you really want to go as fast as possible, in other word without even to type Dummy to search the root compatibility base, just use 000 Dummy as a root compatibility base, it's very likely to be the first visible).
5. I re-imported 0 Dummy Dummy and voila, Genesis 3/Female, Genesis 8/Female and Genesis 9/Base were back to only use their intended Scene IDs.
6. Then I removed the Dummy root compatibility base, which removed the sub ones in the process, then the dummy product and I got back to a cleaner database

Thank you again, it was driving me crazy.
Now I just have to alert the nice person who shared free Yoga poses for G9 on Renderhub and who likely has Marley installed too because in the provided metadata, the problematic Scene ID from Marley appears.
If anyone has the same set of bugged metadata, I can share my Dummy Dummy product if they don't want to do the whole process themselves (but it's a minute or two if you know your way around the metadata editor).
