Environment Rendering issues
That set lists only Iray materials. You might be able to get a useful conversion out of https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-iray-to-3delight-converter-and-merchant-resource (or I think there is a free script posted to the forum, though I don't have a link to hand) but if not you would have to use the suplied textures to build your own 3Delight materials.
So it is basically impossible to use iray with an RTX 3070 or similar?i once bought an 8gb card, VERY disappointed!! it would only 'turn on/ work' when the view port was changed to iray!! it did NOTHING when rendering, like a dead frog on a log!! got a 12gb card, much much better!! it actually turns on / works when rendering imagine that!
Iris Flower ?memcneil70 said:
@lou_harper, I have the Water Iris also.
Did a search in the store and one of HowieFarkes Carrara Sets has an Iris in it, https://www.daz3d.com/maple-meadows it is old, SKU 8138 and I don't know if you could render it in Carrara and import it into DAZ or not?
Finally found a DAZ Iris in a package by Gendragon3D and JeffersonAF, https://www.daz3d.com/variety-of-beautiful-plants-vol-2
I tried to see if there was another name or something for the common Iris, but no luck. I did find out that the complete plant, petals to bulb is poison. Didn't know that. Pretty flower though, but absolutely would not have around kids or pets.

So many plants are not safe around pets.
Not exactly what I was looking for but it is very useful. I don't know how you found it because I couldn't. Thank you.
Daz says a file is "missing" but it is in the folder...thanks north..
https://www.daz3d.com/aron-hd-for-genesis-8-male
also has three occurrences of "//..." for aroneyesb_1006.jpg.
the search function on this forum board is not ~fun~ you have to go to outside engines .
DAZ go to priuschat.com that is how a forum search FUNction should WORK.
thanks again notho...
Need some advise on creating lalafells (FFXIV) in DazFirstBastion said:
If you use the search term "dwarf" and/or "baby" you will find morphs that should approximate the body type of these characters,
Then using the search term fantasy EARS should help you find morphs for the ears.
Search "Tunic" should help you find the outfits.
short tie hair for some hair possibilities.
Luckily I'm not too worried about the outfits or hair, it's mostly just getting the body right. It's sad because I have the models in blender but bringing them into Daz is always miserable for me and I'd really like to be able to make it work here.
I'll search around and see if I can find something that works well. Thank you!

ALL my orders are gone!?!You need to contact Daz customer support. They don't follow the forums. Users here in the forum won't be able to help you.

Question on how to report an issue with a product?Issues are reported at helpdaz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us which is linked to via the Contact Us link at the bottom of every page. I find that logging into the zendesk site interferes with the store/forum login so usually go via incognito/private mode. As it's the weekend they won't respond till Monday at the earliest.
Obviously, the more info you give them the easier it will be for them to investigate and/or action anything.
Question on how to report an issue with a product?So I ran into an issue where as soon as I loaded a figure with Iray active on the preview, or tried to render an in iray, Studio would do a hard crash instantly to desktop. This also happened when I loaded the base Gen8 figure, applied the morph and triggered once I applied the materials (skin).
After trying some of the more brutal fixes, uninstalling thousands of models, Studio, meticulously finding every bread crumb and purging those, and then reinstalling carefully after ensureing I was using updated NVidia drivers, etc., etc., I was still getting the same issue.
Eventually I stumbled across a thread pointing to .tif files being the issue. I converted the .tif files to .jpg, did an edit of all the .duf files to replace references to the .tif files to the new .jpg files, and behold, it works perfectly. So the issue wasn't Studio, be NVidia drivers, my install, etc., it was just that one figure, and more to the point, the materials for the skin on the figure.
At the end of the forum post it recommends reporting the product so that others don't have the same issues I just had and don't have to go through the huge timesink I did.
So: Question, how do I report a .tif file issue for a product?

I don't get it. I looked on the other forum postings, where there are links to each numbered blink sale, and when I pull those up, there seem to be selections that differ from what I get on my screen. I have a group of new blink sale items, which you have to purchase to get the discount on the next group down, the ten categories that offer discounts with purchase from that first group. Where in Hades is the actual Blink Sale that changes every three hours?
The catagories stay the same; BUT the items in the catagories change every 3 hours.
....they do? In the current 5.99$ Grab bag sale I notice quite a few of the same itmes I saw (including the item I mentioned above that purchased some 12 hours ago).

They look basically the same to me. Heavy sigh. I'm going back to house-hunting.

For 5.99 bracket its more accurate to say around 30% of items change.
There definitely are some items that I have seen only once, but plenty of items I have seen multiple times, and I am pretty sure quite a few show every time.

Iris Flower ?Is there any product in the store with Iris flower prop? I know an own the Water Iris, but looking for regular. Yellow or purple would both work. I know sometimes there are random things in environments that don't show up in a store search.

Retro Apartment Props 2 has to be an error for editorial. It's part of a series of products and the others are a standard license.
Yes, it part of series; but DAZ_Jack Tomalin has indicated in the DAZ+ forums that it is not a mistake: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7893581/#Comment_7893581
pity this cannot be clarified for non DAZ+ users to be able to read too instead of being restricted to a closed forum
we are still customers and would pay more for the props if we chose to buy them too

I love that PWToon is experiencing something of a revival.
We have a good representation of NPR techniques, wouldn't you say? Phloki3D's technique using Octane, which he graciously shared, reminds me of juvesatriani notes for !JSFlat. Even Artini's use of Unity has been very interesting. Speaking of PWToons, I do find folks asking in the Commons forum about Daz NPR add-ons. The examples you and others shared lately should be inspiring.
Cheers!

I have no idea why the Retro Apartment Props 2 should be under editorial license. Maybe the appliances but those are too generic. And there is no actual "Lemb" brand as far as I can tell. If you go to Shutterstock you find plenty of vintage appliance photos for commercial use.
I use stock photos all the time for book covers, so this whole commercial vs editoral thing is very familiar, but this one doesn't make any sense to me.
Search for the brand Smeg. Note the font and colour schemes used.
Okay, I can see it, but the shapes and colors are generic vintage. The font similarity arguably might push it over the line, but you can remove that. There are car models in the store that are far more problematic that don't have editorial restrictions.
PS. When I see "SMEG" I think of Red Dwarf.
