Yikes, glad I don't work in that research facility!

And that's pretty much what I am doing every night after dinner.  Although I don't have a suit of armour in my space lol.

Great scene with the coke, love the headshop renders!

I also have have the same issue with the OneClick plugin. I get 'Daz model not found' message, and same crash message.

After looking at the video again I changed my Temp directory to the default and tried OneClick again. This time I did NOT get the 'Daz model not found' message. So I loaded a face pic and clicked on the Apply button. Just got the 'Waiting for Headshop' message but nothing happened for about 10 minutesso I closed it. I tried it again after selecting the face surface on a G2F, and the window came up at last. However the 3D head was extremely distorted. Then I got a Low memory message from Windows so I closed and restarted DS. Tried it again and this time it kinda worked and exported to the G2F. But the face texture didn't align well with the geometry. And even worse with different pics. But I clearly need to find better reference pics. So I did get it to work after all. But the setup was confusing and the docs are for the Headshop 10 version. not the OneClick version. That needs to be corrected.

See attachment.

Remember that Daz will refund your money for purchases that you are dissatisfied with, as long as you request the refund within 30 days of purchase. There is no need to keep products that you find to be a waste of money.

Normally if I am dissastisfied with content, it has been minor and when the sale price was good enough, I don't bother requesting a refund. For $5 or $10... I took a gamble on Headshop Oneclick, I lost, and I knew I just needed to wait for FaceGen Artist Pro to go on a good enough sale. Eventually I got it, and I never asked for a refudn on Headshop... but it was bad enough I wanted to warn other users not to make the same mistake as I made. 
In this case, I did request a refund. The first time ever for that. 

IMO it's a bad idea not to return stuff that's of poor quality for then they just think it's good enough and probably continue to produce more of the same quality. It's just a bit more difficult with tutorials because you have to work through them to jugde the quality and, even if the quality is low, probably learn something from them anyway, and so it feels a bit unfair to return them.

As for tutorials in general, I think they often heavily overpriced compared to how much work it takes to produce them (I've made several myself, both video and written formats, so I'm talking from experience). So I usually wait until they're heavily discounted.

I purchased this one from the same guy https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-content-creation-mastery-part-2-modeling-clothing and didn't find it very good either. Didn't learn much at all.

This content: 
https://www.daz3d.com/mastering-daz-studio-content
Is terrible. The guy rambles, loses himself, has a terrible monotone delivery style that makes me want to fall asleep and so far I'm an hour into the "tutorial" which is just a video of a live web session... and he hasn't told me anything I didn't already know.  The price, even discounted, is too high. I don't generally like to trash any content - but at this price, this is as terrible as Headshop OneClick - which is the only other piece of content I've bought in over a year that I felt this strongly about. It feels like he is figuring out how to do it as the video goes along, with a lot of points where he is talking to himself more to the audience and then suddenly, Eureka, "Oh, there you go! That is how you do it!"  
He also doesn't understand basic things about PC technology - which is why he can't figure out why DAZ won't install directly to his NAS (my guess, he never mapped his NAS folder as a shared drive with a drive letter on his PC...) 
Avoid this content at any price, but especially at the price being asked for it. 
I bought it a couple of weeks ago and just got around to watching it now. I tried to give it a chance, but an hour into it, I was going, "this is a waste of my time and was more or less theft of my money..." 
 

 

It is important to note that the tutorial referenced in this message is by a different artist that the one donovancolbert purchased. Both are co-presented by Digital Art Live, but the actual artist doing the tutorial in https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-content-creation-mastery-part-2-modeling-clothing is Esha, a well respected PA who sells content in the Daz store. I also own this Esha tutorial, and I do think I got value from it.

I purchased one tutorial from Digital Art Live, and returned it shortly after viewing. In my case, I felt like the content did not live up to the hype, as well as the pain of watching a poorly presented "seminar." I don't believe it is a reflection on the artist as much as the "live seminar" format is simply a poor way to create content for sale, (IMHO.)

A much better format would be for the artist to script what they want to tell their audience and then follow the script. The script is the key. With a script, the artist is kept on track, imparting the knowledge they set out to share. Without a script, it's very easy to get sidetracked, talking about things the artist knows, but wasn't prepared to present at the time. Unfair to the artist, and unfair to the person who buys the product. Not to mention, when a Video is being shot with a script, that script can be included as a companion PDF.

I have purchased numerous tutorials since getting into this hobby three years ago, and I'm pretty sure none of them were produced using a script. Except, perhaps, the one on Blender I just purchased, which comes with both videos and PDF.

[Hoping for some info from HeadShop One Click users] Basically...how is it?

I am really tempted to get it because the possibilites it offers seem fun! Imagine being able to have A-List casting in your renders! But after looking around the net a bit, I read that it's not 100% reliable for that...but still produces some interesting looking characters. That in itself is nice since most of the figures here are on Daz are beautiful/handsome and lets be honest, most of us are pretty normal looking.

What gives me pause is after watching a few videos on it, it seems like it basically graphs a picture onto the Daz figure, including any locks of hair that might be near the face. Are you then able to apply a skin shader from a different model to it so there is some uniformity to the skin?

Basically any pros and cons anyone has would be great to hear. Daz has a great return policy but I'd rather not jump through those hoops if I can avoid it.

Thanks for your help!

Qualcuno di voi ragaSSuoli ha comprato Headshop Oneclick?
Non riesco a capire per quale motivo non funzioni, ogni modello che scelgo mi da errore "DAZ Model not found" e si ferma lì...

This morning I bought the plugin, installed properly and... It doesn't work!

After selecting the photo, it says "DAZ model not found" and clicking on the "OK" button it gives me a runtime error sating "Value can't be Null" and a reference to the image.
This happens with ANY kind of figure, Genesis 1,2 and 3...
What's happening?

*EDIT*

Found a folder path that obviously doesn't belong to my system... Someone knows how to fix it?

Thank you for your quick reply

But the first option did not work, so

I installed a licence of  Adobe PhotoShop,   I uninstalled and reinstalled the complete DAZ 3D with the install Manager. But again I had the same message and HeadShop does not appear in the edit list of DAZ studio

What to do?

Hello

I just bought Headshop 9 in the Daz3D shop.

The Instal Manager commes with the following error:

Install Manager cannot find a required path.The package for "Photoshop 3D Bridge for DAZ Studio 4.9+ requires that the installed path for "Photoshop CC, CS4, CS5, CS4 (64-bit) " be defined. Make sure that a path for this application is present on the "applications " page of the "Settings" dialog, then try again.

How do I get to this dialog?

How do I install the path?

Thank you

Luc

headshop 9.2 closes before files can be created evrytime i load...  help??

Using Headshop 9.2 on mac and after selecting surface (face, lips ) geometry (head) I get a watch icon and this error message ..  Can anyone HELP!?

looks like noone else has answered yet link here is to the oneclick thread started by the creator so if you click their name could probably private message them https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/122371/headshop-oneclick-submitted-to-daz-best-in-class-commercial/p1

Due to issues unrelated to DAZ, I have to reformat my C drive and re-install Windows. I will need to reinstall all my apps, including DAZ Studio 4.9 and related apps (like DAZ Install Manager, Bryce, Carrara, iClone, Poser, Headshop, Hexagon, etc). Part of what will also change is that some of these were installed to D:\Program Files, and after the re-format, all programs will be on C. Most of the serial numbers are up in the cloud in my DAZ Account, so getting the programs themselves back doesn't look too difficult.

I have multiple Content Directories, and I've used robocopy to ensure I'll have backups of those directories. I also have backups of my InstallManager/Downloads directory will ALL the zip files and manifest files. Will merely putting these files back to where they were (and re-creating the Content Directories list) be sufficient? I'm trying to avoid blundering into a situation where I have to use Install Manager to re-install everything.

I posted a related question in another thread (I think this one will be easier for folks to find later) and Richard Hazeltine responded:

+++

The content manager database is in C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Daz 3D\cms (settings) and the \Content Cluster subfolder (the actual database) by default.

DIM tracks its installations via the manifest .dsx files in (as I recall) Public Documents\Daz Install Manager\Manifests

+++

Is there anything else from AppData that I need to preserve? Will Daz Connect data be preserved if I just robocopy the files from that directory?

If you've been through something like this and have experience to add, I'd love to hear from you!

Hi,

I have installed HeadShop OneClick (WIN) August 2017. It is possible to create a raw head based on the front view, however, the profile view doesn't work. I can draw a profile sometimes - the program functions randomly. And the drawn profile will maybe/maybe not be transfered to the profile shown to the right for a very short time, when I press return. But I cannot tranfer the profile to the 3D-head even if I manage to tranfer it to the profile shown to the right. The pictures of the program interface shown in the pdf instructions are not the same as in the program interface I see - both for face and profile. I have installed the program manually 3 times - just to be sure. The program seems to be a draft - not af finished QA'ed program.     

Have you been able to use the profile function?

Best regards

Lars

This is a bit off topic.  But, do any of you guys remember a program that could take a flat photo of a cityscape and pull 3d shapes to create a usable 3d city model?  I actually owned this in the 90's and can't remember what it was called.  It came out about the same time as Bryce and Carrara.  I haven't seen it since, but can't help but think that would be good for making semi billboard type backdrops for Studio.

Well I have read of such techniques since and FaceGen and HeadShop/OneClick both use varients of such an algorithm.

Here is the latest I've seen of such research & tools:
