If you Google "Her LIE Makeup" (including the quotes) there is a fan art site I'd never heard of that seems to be where the creator of the product posted about it - I haven't read all the (many) pages but they said there would be a link posted at some stage, so presumably it can be found there. (I won't do a direct link because I'm not entirely sure it meets Forum rules).

When I read the thread title I expected a link to an option to give some money for getting a working premade search engine for DAZland...

I have to admit, I do not use the search option of the shop, as it most of the time delivers either too many (and wrong), to few (and even then some wrong) or just wrong results... the categorizing seems to catch too many synonyms for many things which leads to tons of wrong results.

For example searching for "USS Horizon Interior" leads to

When using the Artist filter on the shop page the above product doesn't seem to exist, even though I bought it just yesterday. And this is not the only item that doesn't get listed after using the search option or the Artist filter for several (or all?) artists/products.

Do you have Carrara?

A Word About Carrara 8.5 Pro

It's not hard to find my words of enthusiasm about Carrara or Daz 3d. It's hard, right now for me not to just start talking about all of the things I love about it. But I had a point, and I want to stick with it.

Diomede has been putting up some wonderful tutorial info regarding Marvellous Designer and dForce, which brings me to writing this post.

I, too, have been playing around with dForce a Lot lately. One huge finding for me is that dForce opens up a whole new realm of costume design, because with its magic, I can use pretty much any clothing with any figure.

Hexagon has a handy bridge to and from Daz Studio, which is a real treat. Carrara truly is nearly that simple with its export OBJ options to include Daz Studio scaling options - and then Studio has Carrara inport/export options. Both allow us to bring the figure in question into the workspace without any special voodoo, which is handy. But it is Carrara that allows us to also use morphs and rigging, even if we're not going to animate and render within.

In Carrara I can load in my target figure, say Genesis, and then morph it around and still model to fit it. 

Anyway, Carrara 8.5 Pro is a friendly environment for so many things. Setting up cloth mesh for great use in dForce is no exception.

If you don't already have Carrara 8.5 Pro, it's almost always so inexpensive these days that it's far more worth its weight simply through the wealth of great legacy content that comes with it!

Here's a fun little pictoral article on What Comes with Carrara 8.5 Pro?

These legacy Genesis items are still an invaluable part of my asset inventory. Carrara also includes Carrara surface shaders for M5 and V5 to get you started rendering them in Carrara.

On the fence about Carrara but have always wondered about it? 

Dartanbeck.com has a lot of information that might help you decide:

Carrara Zone - a short landing page and container for the Carrara Zone with some pertinent links

Carrara Info - contains links to actual Carrara Discussion Forum threads started with that topic

• Cripeman Memorial - a dedication to a fallen friend with links to his many (Many) Carrara video tutorials, which are both entertaining and essential
• Carrara Plugins - an edited version of Jay Nola's Carrara Plugins Info and FAQ with updated info - with links to the plugins themselves
• History of Carrara - a fun walk through the years of Carrara's wonderful existence! 
• Free e-zines: Carrara Cafe (with its wonderful Carrara 3D Expo e-zine) and 3DXtract - AMAPI and Carrara e-zine
• Physics and Particles - a special collection of videos, links and information regarding the topics
• GKDantas' Carrara Video Demonstrations - a list (with links) of excellent video help and demos by this awesome Carrara artist
• a lot more

And then there's another section geared more toward my endeavors to create CG films:
Carrara CG Workshop - a landing page and container for the articles within, which also explains the layout a bit

Story - we have to start somewhere, right? 

• What Happened on Odysseon Station? - a talk about using content to drive and inspire a story
• Rosie and the Winter Wolf - Using themed content to help with the story

Pacing and Rendering - a short article based on observations and needs

Pre-Production Phase - What do we need to do to get ready?

• Concept Art - designing the look - includes SS Marcoor Kit Bash - kit bashing to make your vision come to the screen
• Scene (Stage) - a landing page which will feature more in the future. Currently has my methods for Volumetric Lighting (video tutorial)
• Character Setup - a landing page with a lot of my work links. I've been busy with this one. I won't list them all here.

Production Phase - a landing page and container for the subject with links

• Animating - a landing page with links and info which currently includes aniMate 2 (article, links, video help) and Hybrid aniMation - aniBlocks and Key Framing by hand

Post Production Phase is currently empty because I'm not there yet ;)

Being hassled by Daz forum moderators is not a Daz Studio issue?
Driving users away from the forum is a Daz Studio issue.
"This must be a question, that can’t be a question" blah blah blah…
"You can’t discuss about Genesis 9 because someone else is." 
"Too many Geneses 9 issues?"
Ridiculous!
My request for head morphs from Genesis 8 and 8.1 figures is quite an important issue and request to me.
I have bought over 100 Genesis 8 and 8.1 figures, I cannot use the head morphs with Genesis 9.
I would like this issue addressed and I asked as politely as I could. I don’t care about the body morphs but, face shapes/head morphs are important to me.
I did not phrase it in a statement because that would have sounded demanding.
I phrased it in polite request (question).
I find it insulting that my request was not only moved from the request thread but also closed.
That left me no means to further discuss the topic of great importance to me.
Make Genesis 8 1 and 8.1 face shapes work with Genesis 9.
Is that better?
Or, could you please make Genesis 8 and 8.1 face shapes work with Genesis 9?
Shall I send it goldleaf embossed upon a silver platter? 
I have 100 figures heads I can’t use with Genesis 9.
Please fix that.
And leave my threads open and where I put them.
I have paid dearly for use of this forum.
My gripe about this forum has everything to do with Daz Studio.
YouTube videos are not a place to air gripes about Daz Studio and its forum either, is it?
Stop picking on users who are simply trying to get help.
Please spend less time telling users how to ask by belitting them and moving their posts and more time helping them...

Hello, are there any wolf/fox ears for Genesis 8 that are a freebie ? I could find a free tail on AprilYSH site, but I have no ears :( 

I know some can be bought, but in the meantime I would really appreciate to find some free ones. 

I looked on Poser and DAZ freebie site and there is nothing there for Genesis 8. However for Hiro 3 there are fox ears which are props in Poser format. The image on the page is G8 wearing the hair and ears. I did not have any problems getting the hair and ears onto G8. Word to the wise I did not fit them to her just parented them. They have been declared cosplay so if you are doing a commerical product then that is prohibited. There are other ear options listed on the freebie site that might fit you needs better. Just type ears in the search box and you will get all sorts.

And this gets moved to the Commons as it is not related to daz Studio. Daz Studio Discussion is for threads about Daz Studio, the application, not the Daz site in general. Product Suggestions is for suggestions of things to be made, or searches for things that may already have been made (the two overlap, after all the to-be-made item may already exist and there may not yet be the item searched-for). Discussions of existing products go in Technical help or Art Studio, depending on the nature of the question.

I'm not sure which thread you mean - this one was locked, because we had a lot of theads on Genesis 9. Merging the thread wouldn't give you a ping, so you might not ralise where it had gone - locking and posting does give you a ping. In looking for that I'm afraid there were three other misplaced threads, which have now been moved.

Please do bear in mind that questions about moderation actions should be handled by mailing the forum team, not by forum discussion. I've left this since it is a common issue and the general reminder of the reasoning may be useful.

There are a number of family sets available here at Daz but several are for V4, K4 etc. However if you have the free pose converters they can easily be converted to poses for G8. Just do a search on "family" and several will pop up in the store.

... when it got to "Installing Content Management Service". Cancelling installation removed my previous Daz3D install. Now I don't have it at all.

Can't even edit on the forum.

I think testing is invitation-only, based on the reports made (and how usable they are) and such indications of how well the person would work. Constructive engagement with the release threads and DS forum in general will also probably help.

Michael Hallam : "Hi LayLo, will the Face Mojo I purchased for Genesis 8 & 8.1 work with the new Genesis 9 ? Thanks"

LayLo : "Hi, Thanks for using my products! Unfortunately, the Genesis 8/8.1 version of Face Mojo won’t work with Genesis 9’s new topology, sorry."

So... according to the content creator himself, it does work (G3, G8, G8.1). Product description on Daz Store hasn't been updated obviously.

If you've got doubts, contact Laylo on Facebook. Or by email : [email protected].

Thanks for following up on the question here Hansolocambo. I had tested Face Mojo on 8.1 and saw it worked but I was not sure if everything in the face was tracking right but it looked right.

My next question would have been, does it work on Genesis 9? Thanks for your detective work on that inquiry as well!

I have learned through some YouTube videos that it is not enough to just use Face Mojo but then also adding in other animations to the face and body, exaggerating features, like, eyebrows and eye motion, smiles, blinks and maybe even changing full body poses.

Also animating Dforce on hair is useful (once Nvidia fixes Dforce).

Thanks for your search and answers to my question!

We can only give advice on how to do something, DAZ is not here and if one wants to complain to them, one must write a ticket. 

Which is a shame... or a display of a lack of interest in feedback. Not having at least one employee who's job it is to check the forum's most visited parts where paying customers (!) write about their experiences with the shop software, products and service is... amateurish...

nVidia has released a new Game and Studio driver (526.98) 

Even the GeForce Experience App leads to the older one.

What did you select for options in the driver search? I get

If I go to this page:

https://www.daz3d.com/uss-horizon-genesis-8-poses

Which are poses for an interior set which is not listed in required products.  If I search for USS Horizon from that page, It says three results in the top left but I get only one showing:

https://www.daz3d.com/uss-horizon

However, if I open a new tab and go to the top store page and search for USS Horizon I get all three results:

https://www.daz3d.com/uss-horizon

https://www.daz3d.com/uss-horizon-interior

https://www.daz3d.com/uss-horizon-genesis-8-poses

I'm on: Firefox 106.0.5 (64 bit) with the DAZ-Deals plugin 3.1.1 - Win 10 Pro

Although it makes no sense at all (and needs to be fixed), this appears to have something to do with maturity filter.  If you go to the product page and do your search, you are right, only one of the results shows.  BUT, if you uncheck and then re-check the meturity filter they show up.

I am trying to figure out how to find in the store what Bryce content I have.  The show only what I own filter isn't showing on the search page.  I thought that got fixed.

Oh I have a suggestion if it is possible.  Is there a way in the product library to either show the products that can't be downloaded with DIM or Connect?

Search "Ken Gilliland"  over at Renderosity

@newaltml, don't rush, take it easy.

Download the Daz Install Manager (DIM) pick the version that is suited for your computer CPU Intel/AMD 32 or 64-bit (most computers support 64-bit, Windows 10 or 11, not sure about win 7 or 8) or Apple Mac (I believe its 64-bit)

When you log in into you Daz, click the top right green icon, this can take you to My Account, click Product Library, then search for Install Manager.

Do not use any other methods as this will cause you problems.

I have installed and re-installed the program several times, for the other content you may have gathered elsewhere, this content has to be stored into an external hard disk and copied into a folder of your choice in your computer (My Files, per example)

Don't worry about anything else, DIM will do the initial install, then you need to run it again to continue installing the rest.

If in doubt, post your question, someone will try to help you.

Good Luck!

Good Morning.  I've been going through the forum for a few hours now trying to get a handle on how to set up Visual Studio (any version) to work on plug-ins.  It has been a very ... frustrating ... few hours.  There are is an open source plug-in that I'd like to see about tweaking to serve my purpose.  Everything I've seen (I'll list some below) tell me to download the samples (done) and open the .sln file (no longer there.  There's a Makefile instead).  Others say read the docs, got those and read through them.  Decent info and layout, but nothing I can find says anything about setting up the IDE.

I tried grabbing the code from github for the plug-in I want to work on, but of course there are a mess of errors.  I made sure I have the SDK downloaded.  I made sure I have the C++ libraries for Visual Studio installed.  I installed Visual Studio 2017.  I'm running out of ideas and a search of Daz Forums, Google, and YouTube are turning up nothing.

I'm not a professional programmer.  I'm also not a professional artist.  I'm an amateur at both with a background in C/Pascal and C#, though I haven't used the first two in decades.

So my question is:  Is there anything out there that will tell a person, not how to write a plug-in or code in C++, but just how to set up the IDE with the libraries where they need to be to even open and compile an existing plug-in?  If there's not ... if this is something people have to struggle thorugh .. let me know that and I'll abandon any plans and stick with scripting.

Thank you in advance for any info.
