Check out Comfyui-prompt-camera-assistant, it should get you going. 
 

PromptCameraAssistant

Inputs

• Mode: Still / Video
• Camera
• Lens type
• Film / Sensor look
• Aperture (f-stop)
• ISO
• Shutter speed
• Bokeh style
• Focus style
• Motion blur preset

Cheers mate, but still no luck here.  Can't find a thing about it, but then search for me has been going rapidly downhill for some time now and is pretty much useless.

All I can find are videos about prompts, and nothing whatseover about nodes for controlling shutter speed or ISO.  If you know of a specific video that demonstrates "PromptCameraAssistant" in use, please post it so that I can check it out, cause I cannot find a thing about it.

 

Prompt Camera Assistant is availabel using Comfy Manager node installer. Search for "Camera"

On the plus side, it means that Evil Onion is safe around Richard!
@Tugpsx
Thanks for the heads-up on that, and I have to say that's the most promising thing I've heard so far in that respect.  The moment you mentioned being able to set "Camera Back" as well as lens properties, a huge smile crept across my face!

Absolutely, I'm planning to use ComfyUI.  In fact I'm learning A.I. faster than I otherwise would be by watching videos about ComfyUI.  I've never seen the sort of tool you describe, but man, I'm damn glad to hear that one exists since I think the whole system would be very crude and unprofessional without it.

Do you know the name of the ComfyUI tool that allows you to set that sort of stuff?
Also, is there a term that should be used to search for that specific type of node?

 This is really something you need to talk to an IP lawyer about, but if you can't or won't seek legal advcie then simply work on the assumption that if you need to use someone else's work as scaffolding for your own then you are bound by the license terms of that work. This is basic principle and you should find it with any kind of search. If you want to have undiluted rights then you must start from scratch (aside from the very limited things covered by legitmate use, which cvoers far less than is commonly understood).

If we exclude medieval castles, I think Victorian architecture would be quite suitable, even though this one isn't a stone building. Of course, it might be a bit small for a university...

or

Or some Gothic building kits, Most products were selected based on impressions of Bloodborne.

Or perhaps find a suitable building from among PW Productions' many estates.

There are many bizarre buildings to search for in Jack Tomalin, but collecting them is not easy.

Hey  Thanks again for the response

crosswind said:

Ah no, it shows just the geometry data with hundreds or thousands of code lines... to let you know what objects have these geometry data and can be saved as Figure / Prop assets or Modifier assets so as to shrink the DUF file size ~~

I tried it out but I can't well find the objects that need to be put in figure/prop asset. I looked under Geometry Library and well I saw this

Well the DUF file you checked might be more complex e.g. there're morph properties with linked geometry data not saved as assets, or dforced data on timeline, etc. You can search by using a keyword "vertex_count", like the screenshot 1 I attached.

I ever wrote two scripts for a folk to change Base to High Resolution and vice versa for the items in the scene by content types. You can try and use them or modify them at will. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/8541796/#Comment_8541796 ;

Oh wow, so terms of content types I can make idk, all genesis figures and hair assets to base, then later in render queuer I can have the script running before render is cooked? Or is the script during work?

Well... I removed the content type check and rewrote the scripts, the scripts loop check all figures / props and set their lodlevel to Base or High. Check the screenshot 2 and try the modified scripts in the attached ZIP .

Edit: Pls be noted: if a figure or prop in your scene has not been Converted to SubD, its lodlevel cannot be set to High Resolution. Do Convert to SubD beforehand if needed ~~ (some figures / props may have artifacts after conversion... check 'n do it case by case)

crosswind said:

Because the vendor left this Daz3D store and moved to Rendo ~~

Man such a shame I really think this would've been super useful to me.

First off I have to say, thanks a lot! This has really helped my workflow terms of save file being a lot smaller, though there is still some things I need help with, I've noticed the vertex_count for rigid follower is quite high, like 16000. Idk what rigid follower is. 
Also this week has been quite productive since I kept hiding everything except the figure (like everything hair, clothing etc) and the ground. I've done quite a lot terms of renders. But I have a feeling I can do better though with Save files, I tried to read again with my old crowds I created (I have like a lot of crowds of 10-20 models) but I noticed like 76 of th the vertex count terms of search has rigid follower, don't know what it is, I searched and it was the buttons, but the save file went up from 3 MB to 13 MB wit this crowd now, still trying to learn how to optimise it lol

mermaid - I am not sure the forum would accept it to put on the link here. But just type renderosity on your browser address list to open the site, then click on GALLERY (top row), then move mouse over Galleries and click on Bryce (or any other of the 35 galleries), they are sorted alphabetically. Contrary to Daz 3D, they have a working gallery.

I checked out this site, thanks for the help Horo. I saw some of your work in the Bryce Gallery and also Hansmar’s Vue renders. Nice work Hansmar.

What happened to the other figures in this store

When I search HayBilly or Other figures like Sadie, but it's not in here

I wish 3D Universe's HayBilly - The Cowardly Sheriff getting a upgrade for Genesis 9

So does Sadie and Sam

3DUniverse stopped selling their products in the DAZ store last month.  They're slowly moving their DAZ products to their new store at Renderosity... though the order so far has been rather random, there are aroundg thirty items there now.  Also, they used to have some products available direct at their own website, though currently they're only redirecting to Renderosity. 

Note - Edited to correct 3DU store info.

not easy editing links on iOS but hope this works

to avoid extra characters one should use the link icon in the forum software but I couldn't go to the hair either to use it so had to edit it just to even see what hair it was  will find out myself after posting this 

https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-casual-bangs-hair-for-genesis-9

When you paste in the URL, don't type anything else after it. Hit Enter to start a new line, then you can continue to type. That will also prevent those link-breaking extra characters from being added. Richard Haseltine taught me this trick.

handy to know

I seem to have fallen into an alternate universe where the Complaint Thread is in the Software Forums instead  of the Commons.

I often find myself out of phase with this forum. Kind of like Ghost in the Marvel movies. While that usually leaves me invisible to everybody, it also makes me able to pass through things. That is useful in the DAZ world where doors don’t always open, and rooms don’t always have doors.

Small side question: In my opinion there is absolutely no legal way to allow/ forbid others to  create and share **their own** stuff. Not even Disney, Paramount & Co. could do something against people who share (e.g.) items, assets, that fits into their IP but are not official part of it.

In my opinion! Do you know anything opposite of that? 

The short version, your opinion is wrong.

You do not 'own" the items you purchase, you have a license to use the products in certain ways...

 

Sorry, one of us misses a point: Maybe I just wasn't clear enough or you missed it while reading :)

My point is the 'allow/ forbid others to create and share **their own** stuff' part (not the original product itself - sorry, I'm absolutely unsure how to name an independent, own, new 'thing' for an existing product. There are too many options: add-ons, extensions?).

For example if I create a new hairdo for Elsa ('Frozen') and mention that it would fit the original character, no one could stop me :) Because in this case I would have made the whole work and only 'used' a round shape of the original, and a simple round shape is not copyrightable.

It wouldn't be a simple round shape, though, it would be the shape of a head - and probably a very unusual sahpe compared to a regular human. If you use other content as a foundation then it is sensible and wise to assume that the result is a derivate and so subject to the legal and license restrictions.

Apparently, this Quality of Life update has the effect of making me absolutely unable to look at more than one page of the Product Library. It shows me a few of the most recent things I've bought and several very, very old things, but to check on/buy more licenses, I have to go look up who was the one who made it and I can search that way. 

 

This is terrible.

Try setting Items Per Page to 20. Others have reproted that that helps with similar issues, though I have not run into them. Also do a hard refresh (ctrl shift R) to make sure you are using the current version of the page.

This is terrible.

My uncle was part of an experimental night fire bombing mission over Tokyo in 1945.

My uncle parachuted down and survived the crash. He was placed in a prison in Tokyo.

Awhile later, the allies again firebombed Tokyo, causing mass destruction and deaths.

My Uncle and many others died from the prison fires. The deaths around Tokyo were so numerous that authorities were not able to handle the bodies according to custom.

The authorities treated the prisoners remains with respect. But they needed to bury them in a mass grave.

My Uncles remains were finally buried in Arlington National Cemetary in 1949.

I have a set of documents describing the fire bombing mission including reports of how the prison staff did their best to battle the fires.

Also included are dental charts,etc., for identification of the remains. There's 135 pages in one document.

One issue with the documents is readibility. These were the days before Xerox machines, etc. There's a terrible background on most documents.

I did a Google search and discovered how to eliminate that dark background using PhotoShop.

I've emailed the Government agency who provided me the documents. I wanted them to know what I did, and offered my services.

I even hinted I'd like to work for them.

Either way, I will have my own legible copy of the documents.
