Are they still selling the retro apartment and props from Petipet?  I can see the product pages if I go through my purchases, but not if I do a general search.

There was supposed to be a 2nd set of props for the retro apartment, and I'm wondering if they are going to be released. I was really looking forward to getting it.

I've tried in the past to organize my library myself, but I always invariably end up moving something that a script relies on and screwing that up. (UltraScenery was a BIG one). LOL It would be nice if Daz would set up an organizational system that the PA's were required to stick to that made more sense than, well, what we get now - which isn't much better than the old Poser days where ppl just put things wherever. And have I said how much I hate vanity folders (even tho I do it myself for my freebie props)? LOL If the internal search inside Daz Studio actually found what I was looking for, that'd be one thing, but it's as bad if not worse than the store search here. Urgh. Thankfully, I haven't run up against too many duplicate forumula errors, but I have a couple times.

You can use categories to organise, or link (.djl) files to set up a shadow library organised as you wish while the real library keeps the organisation required for cross-product references like those in Ultra Scenery.

Oh, I've tried that. Mostly what I get are EMPTY category folders. Since I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I just gave up on it. I spent a lot of time in categories just to get a bunch of folders with nothing (no links) in them. If categories relies on smart content, half the stuff I have HAS no metadata and half of what does have metadata is uncategorized. If that's the case and it does rely on metadata, that needs fixed too.

I'm sure the non-IT pros can appreciate catmasters help though.

Having some issues with Luna HD
https://www.daz3d.com/luna-hd-for-genesis-81-female
Attached images are Luna morph 100% vs 0%
Looks like som random morph is causing it, but when I revert back to base Genesis 8.1 the issue with lashes is gone.
Also Body and Face morph looks like a 'Light' version from the product images. Setting morph limit off and exceeding 100% Only deforms it even more.
Tried Installing with DIM first. Then uninstalled and used Daz Central. Nothing changed.
Kinda curious if anyone else had this issue too? Impossible to find anything with Daz' amazing forum search! :D
Thanks for any help you can give!

There is a thread in the announcements https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/588971/new-daz-3d-safe-search-filter#latest

Not just me then. I wouldn't mind a change of forum software as I'm not fond of this version.

It would be nice to get a like button too!

Personally I love Vbulletin (So long as it's not V5 and up)

- There was a similar forum software to Vbulletin that was made by some of the developers of Vbulletin. Its very similar, but I cannot for the life of me remember the name. But yeah. When it comes to powerful forum software, VB is mah absolute favorite. I think my main reason for taking to it though is due to the sheer customization and "fine tuning" of abilities for members/groups/ranks etc etc. And for someone like me, I find that an absolute must when it comes to managing a forum.
Though I think for Daz, it'd probably be a waste in terms of features, as I doubt most people including the moderators etc, would make use of the majority of features it has to offer. These forums are more of a (and I use this term loosely) "side deal" for us for discussion etc. It would be nice to have a couple features added though to make it's use more on par with other forum softwares. But overall, I think it serves it's purpose and needs. It's just a lil rough around the edges I suppose ^^

Is DIM broken? I've got to go through my entire Product Library, and manually search for certain content in order to be able to download it.

Yes, the store seems to be supplying bad order data values which ar wrecking the sort order using those at least. Daz is aware.

At least Daz knows. Thank you for explaining

Converting these base maps to opacity maps is becoming REAAAAAAAALLY tedious. There a just so many things to separate. I make one thing disappear, but it'll also affect something else - that I don't want to be transparent.  *unimpressed sigh*

Yup. It's a known issue, the hamsters powering the forum servers are getting tired but the developers are busy on other projects.

Hah. Glad it aint just me. Thanks <3 Poor hamsters though. I'd have at least used something like a fennec fox. They have plenty of energy x-x

I've a spare cat I could donate. He's old but spirited. I'd even pay the postage.

This forum ALWAYS has issues. 

Thanks Richard, but I get a 404 error on that.  I'm picking this project back up again after having dropped it back then.  I did find a function for setting subd, however, it relies on if the node class name is "DzBone" which strand based hair must not be, since the script executes without error but doesn't actually do anything.  This DzLine might be what I need, though, I'll check into it.

That does assume that the label includes "dForce", which is not guaranteed. You might want to search for

site:docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples "DzLineTessellationModifier"

to see a more reliable way to handle this using the modifier.

 

You should have the location of the database there, not the content library 

Here's mine, with another one showing what's in that folder

Thanks! Not sure why/how that would have changed. Doing a search for that .json file right now.

Oh joy... That'd be fun.

I aint too big a fan of this forum software honestly speaking. Seems rather barebones actually. But eh, least the downtime isn't too long I guess

We have been told, the fix requires change of forum software

It seems to be happening a lot and I've been getting a different sort of error recently. It used to go to an error page, now I keep seeing an error message overlaid on the forum page which goes away after a while. I don't know if this is a Daz thing or if Cloudflare have changed their error reporting.

In doing a search, I ran across a thread where someone asked the same questions back in 2014, including if the plugin worked with 8.5..  And there were no replies.

I guess that few artists here ever went that route.

What a rough evening. Tired, feeling sick, stomach pains, "sulphur burps", I've got the smell of smoke up my nose - Among other things.

I also burnt my mouth with my toothpaste (I feel asleep while cleaning my teeth last night).

Urgh. I've got stuff to do, but I just don't know where to start. 

I wish finding a Iray hair shader equivalent to my obj's maps was easier.

I want my bed :(....

Wendy, thanks for mentioning the Huion tablet problem, which I read about while searching for answers in the forum. I don't have one. And thanks RuudL for letting me know about EtreCheck, certainly something useful for many situations.
