Ooh, something different.  I live about the length of an American football field(100 yards/meters) away from the train tracks in town.  I've pretty much learned to ignore trains when they go by.  But they're always travelling slowly (about 15-20 mph) through town because of the wicked curve on the west end of town.  Most of the trains are short (i.e. less than 10 freight cars), but sometimes it's a long, long, long train of tanker cars (either empty, off to the oil fields & refineries of central NY & Pennsylvania.  Or full, on their way to the midwest cities).  

But yesterday, I noticed a very slow moving train with squealing brakes, and clattering clunking wheel & hitch noises.  I didn't think anything of it and ignored it for a while, but it went on for more than 10 minutes as the train slowly, slowly stopped.  I finally braved the cold and stepped out on to my porch to checkout the train.  It was, a string of tankers, it was stopped.  It was there for hours, blocking the only road heading south out of town.  The nearest other crossing is 2 miles west or 3 miles east, making a complete detour, heading south, about 8 miles either way, and wandering on possibly flooded and/or icy, 3rd class roads through the hills & swamp, in winter, after a major thaw, followed by a massive snowstorm. I finally forgot about it and noticed that it was gone this morning.  I don't know what the problem was, but I bet there were a lot of pissed farmers and people from south of town who wanted to get into town or at least to the connecting main road to the city.  Wheee... excitement in the deadlands.

I have exported the custom head morph from facegen artist to the correct folder for genesis 8.1 head morphs as shown in the picture. However when you open Daz Studio and select a genesis 8.1 character then shaping - head there is no slider for my custom head morph. This makes no sense since the folder is showing the head morph file present inside the correct directory. Daz central and Daz studio preferences - content is all set up to the correct directory. I have tried reinstalling daz multiple times and restarting my computer after installing it to no avail. What is the solution to get my morph sliders showing in Daz?

That was installed through Daz Studio itself, and at a guess did not decrypt properly though it could also be a packaging issue. Content installed by daz Studio goes in /data/cloud/1_SKU/ (where SKU is the product number). If you want to instalal through Daz Central there is no need to have Daz Studio working online, and you will end up doubling the files if you use both installation methods. Try uninstalling the DS install (right-click on the product container, in the products tab of Smart Content or in the list of containers under products in the Content Library pane) and see if the Daz Central install then works.

Greetings,

I'm very new to Daz3D and I'm running into a issue when it comes to texture loading. A asset by the name of "The Fighting Ring" for instance always messes up to load in some textures for the ropes of the ring itself.

Whenever I try to find the textures manually, I notice that the location path doesn't match up with the naming of where Daz expects it to be. Keep in mind that there's only one folder that even contains anything related to that asset to begin with. I'm honestly at a loss, as this is the third time in a row this happened. Even uninstalling Daz, or literally installing everything from scratch on a new system doesn't fix it.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I need help with folder structure in Daz Stidio (4.21) I have installed some items manually, using Daz Central, and Daz Install Manager, but when I go into Daz studio, I struggle to sind things, even when I search within Daz the item doesn thsow up any where.  I can do a search in windows explorer and can fine the iten that way, but pretty sure thats not how thing is supposed to work.

Also, when I try to add an item to a character, quite often it would come up with a list of items that Daz studio couldn't fine or the items listed could not be located.  Some time I try and drag and drop and item and it would only flash and nothing else happens.

Looking at the folders in Documents, Daz, Studio, My Library.... can someone tell me what folders or files should I see here.  for instance, under My Library is the Content folder, what folders should be in the content folder, what folders should be in the Runtime folder?  I think once I understand what goes where I will ne ok.  

Thanks

Either in your Product Library here under My Account -- Product Library--then in the filter box search: "daz studio 4.x pro" and download IM00013176-42_DefaultResourcesforDAZStudio420.zip, then unzip it and install it to where ever your DS content library is on your computer. OR, if you use DIM to to install your content, search for it in there and install it, I don't use DIM so I cannot tell you exactly how to do that. I don't use Daz Central either, but I'm sure you can use that to search and install these default resources, but again I don't know how exactly since I don't use that.

I also found the expressions here:
C:\Users\...\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library\data\cloud\1_42071\data\daz 3d\genesis 8\female\morphs\daz 3d\expressions
Any ideas?
Maybe deinstalling the package, log in via Daz Connect, and then install them again via Install Manager?

Whatever you do, don't log in to DS EVER, if you are using Daz Install Manager (DIM), DAZ Central, or manual installation to install your content. 

Without logging in to DS, go to Smart Content, locate the product and uninstall from there.

Unlike the Content Management System, Install Manager (and Daz Central) note the exact location to which they installed files (including applications) and they use manifest files (.dsx files in the Manifests folder) to do so - if you moved the Manifests folder in with moving the Daz folder (which is likely if that was an originally Daz Central installation) then DIM and Daz Central will have forgotten what they installed. Telling them where the new Manifests folder is should at least enable them to remember what they have installed, though the paths listed will still be for the old location so you may want to reinstall (at least if you still have the zips).

4.12...yep that's the problem.

Unfortunately you must install DS through one of those other software. I only use DIM, Daz Install Manager myself. I tried the Daz Central and didn't care for it, but that's just me. I have a feeling you would prefer DIM.

Also, before you get too far, I would back up your 4.21 somewhere, or like I said, do the beta. The reason for this is that Iray is quite a bit different now.

You can install DS4 manually, load the files from your product Library... the beta version however is not available there. DS4beta needs to be downloaded with DIM (but you don't have to install it with that program; I don't use DIM, Daz Central or any other content mangler system, and have got several versions of DS4beta installed an working nicely next to my 'official install' of DS4.12. And as outrider42 mentioned, it is advised to make a copy of your DS4.12 folder!)

So new strategy - I'm trying to update Daz to see if that fixes the problem. I purchased the latest 4.x version but when I check out I'm given the choice of either downloading and install something called "Daz Central" or "Install Manager". As I don't need more fluff on my machine how do I just download and install Daz Studio without all it's "helpful" tools?

Hi all,

I'm having the same issue even after following eponica instructions.

I installed Aging Morphs for Genesis 8 Male(s) via the Daz Central App like any other daz product. 8 body morphs are shown under this product in the Smart tab. I applied one of these to a Genesis 8 Male and nothing happend. 

Under shaping>editor>Genesis 8 Male>Actor>Full Body and shaping>editor>Genesis 8 Male>Actor>Head none of the morph dials are present. 

I then re-installed again via the Daz Central App and no luck. 

I then did as eponica suggested and done a manual install of this 15996_AgingMorphsForGenesis_1.0_trx.exe from my daz account and again I dont see any of the morph dials. 
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong please?

Many thanks

Hello there.  Has anyone else had problems with FeralFey's/ Daz Originals' 'Eat, Drink and be Merry' pose pack?  The poses are great but any props load as grey blocks.  So far I've tried downloading the product with Daz Connect and DIM.  Haven't tried Daz Central yet.  It's a shame, as it's one of the very few pose packs that cover this area of hand-to-mouth eating poses.

You can either "collapse" them by clicking the currently active pane tab 

i clicked everywhere in the pane but it doesnt collapse

 Don't click on the Pane itself but the Tab - the bit that has the name of the pane. The Main/Central area won't collapse but those to the left, right and bottom should do.

Ma allora si può disinstallare il DAZ Central?

Certo che puoi! Anzi, DEVI! 

Sebbene abbiano reso il DIM un offesa per gli occhi, resta comunque l'unico metodo valido per gestire le installazioni.

Central è, come dice Cornelius, nato male e cresciuto peggio. Connect era utile quando c'era il vincolo della criptazione dei pacchetti, ora che è stato rimosso è solo una seccatura, l'unica nota positiva di quel sistema è lo store dentro DAZ Studio.

Ma allora si può disinstallare il DAZ Central?

To rule out any morph blocking issue, which is when morph with same name will block the correct morph in correct path from loading,  I would suggest removing all non-custom morphs (particularly the HD morphs) from that 'Voluptuous Toned' folder. 

Oooo, yeah, that is a no can do.  This is what I tried above by deleting the WHOLE folder and what caused this mess in the first place.  Most of my older figures will not work as they are calling for morphs that are in that folder.  The thing is that (for some reason), the figures I created seemed to be saving the morphs and settings to THAT folder rather then where they should be.  However, once I have moved that folder (which was in 2020), it seems the newer characters I created have stopped accessing that folder, but there are a great many older characters I still use and they want to see that folder.  So, as of now, I have not found a way to delete the folder without damaging my characters.   Granted, they are damaged anyway since there is a problem with the HD morphs., but I don't know how to fix the problem so that the characters access the morphs from the CORRECT folder and not the Voluptuous Toned one.   

 

Then if Daz Studio sitll has a problem calling them, search your directory to check if they are already installed in your main Daz3d directory. If not, you can reinstall them using DIM or Daz Central to your main Daz3D content directory, or howsoever people install content these days. 

I have tried this as well, by removing and reinstalling the Genesis 8 Female Head Morph package.  It didn't work.  And I know you are probably going to say delete both the package and the Voluptuous Toned folder at the same time and then reinstall the morph package.   While that might work on initial thought, the problem is that the characters are going to look for the morphs where the Voluptuous Toned folder was and thus I will get an error and (of course) the morph will not load because it isn't there.

(Before removing the morphs from Voluptuous Toned folder, temporarily copy them somewhere else so can easily restore them back if causes more issues.)

This was effectively what I had done when I removed the folder in the first place.  However, I didn't know what was happening when I initially deleted the folder.   Luckily I had a back up of the folder elsewhere, albeit, it wasn't a current backup.  Nevertheless I installed it anyway just to get my characters back.  But because that was an 'old' backup, it was missing things and that was where my problems started.   I have tried to fix many of the characters manually, but I can't get them 100%.  Further, I am still stuck with this Voluptuous Toned folder.

DS doesn't save or care about the drive letter, the paths are relative, ie. the base folder is whatever folder you have specified as Content Library. 

Yes, this I know about and is probably the culprit of most of the issues that I am having with Daz.  If they went with a more 'normal' specified path with a drive letter, I don't think I would have been in this mess in the first place.  That being said, the said "Voluptuous Toned" folder has grown large enough that I cannot put it back on the C: drive and, frankly, I don't want it there.

In a nutshell, I need to figure out what in Daz Studio (main program) is damaged that I cannot load many HD morphs.   I know it is related to the Voluptuous Toned folder issue and that leads me to the next thing.  I want to get rid of that folder without causing further damage to my characters.

I am worried that I might have to uninstall / reinstall Daz Studio. But if I go that far, I just need to know what I have to do to keep my data intact as I don't want to loose everything.

To my knowledge, this problem seems to be only affecting Genesis 8 Female figures, everything else is fine.  Pretty much everything that didn't access that folder seems to be fine, with the exception of certain morphs.  But I have noticed that some bought only characters, the morphs stopped working on as well, such as Alexandra 8.   However, another HD figure I bought at around the same time as Alexandra was Sydney and her HD morphs are working fine. Keep in mind this is from load a fresh unaltered character. 

Here is part of the log file from loading a fresh Alexandra 8 character and moving some of her HD morphs controls around.  Note the references to the Voluptuous Toned folder.

To rule out any morph blocking issue, which is when morph with same name will block the correct morph in correct path from loading,  I would suggest removing all non-custom morphs (particularly the HD morphs) from that 'Voluptuous Toned' folder.  Then if Daz Studio sitll has a problem calling them, search your directory to check if they are already installed in your main Daz3d directory. If not, you can reinstall them using DIM or Daz Central to your main Daz3D content directory, or howsoever people install content these days. 

(Before removing the morphs from Voluptuous Toned folder, temporarily copy them somewhere else so can easily restore them back if causes more issues.)

The last one was extra tough, as I decided to use it to choose from the animations.  I appreciate the time-consuming effort from all three animators.  Diomede won out, even though his render was unfinished (no big surprise) and I voted for one of his single renders as well.

But honestly, is Ghalgot even a name? :)

Soooooo... my issue with this, is that, when I change to the correct folder, it's not updating.  It reverts back to the default.  How do you change to the correct directory WITHOUT it changing back? 

Do you have more than one application open that can edit the path? If so, they may end up overwriting the new value as you close them - depending on ordering/timing.

 

Uhhh... not that I know of.  What kind of apps would do that?  

Well, Daz Studio, DIM and Daz Central all use the CMS

And neither DAZ studio OR Install manager will let me change the drive. They both revert back to the C drive when I try (neither are open at the same time and I don't have daz central installed yet)
