The product in question already has separate head and body morphs. I just stumbled on it, though, as it didn't show up in my Parameters search. The more I examine it, the more beautiful and versatile it is, especially since, for a "toony" character, her muscular anatomy is actually more correct and convincing than most other muscle morph packs. And her face can run the gamut from cute to flat-out gorgeous. What a product!

Is it broken just for this scene or more generally? You have to search for "selectable in viewport". Parameter tab > Display > Scene View. And have a look on the scene tab. Do you see the little arrows marked with a tick or with a x? X means "not selectable", if so, click on it and it becomes a tick and is selectable again in the viewport. Maybe there is a main button to switch that on and off for the complete scene - but I don't know that.

Nah, I thought of that one right away. I have had individual objects do that to me before(quite a few times in fact), undoubtedly through fumble-fingered clicking on something I didn't mean to click on; but knew how to fix it in the way you are suggesting (at least; after a while). But this is *everything* in the scene, and everything is nicely checked rather than 'x'ed as well. I haven't yet tried to see to see if it is just this one scene/set or not however. It's occurred to me to do so, but I have the feeling that this problem is 'scene-independent' for want of a better way to describe it. Thanks anyway, but I'm afraid this isn't the problem.

Edit: Just tried a different scene. I was right. It made no difference. Whatever the problem is, it's affecting the program settings not the set itself.

I believe there is a youtube event coming today. Not sure when. I'm looking at the youtube channel but not seeing it yet. Can we get a pinned note in the forums for when events/tutorials are scheduled?

It's for Daz+ members only, I believe. I am a member and it's a bar across the top of my screen. There's also an announcement in the Members Only forum.

Yes, it is a known issue. Changing forum software is not a trivial issue, however.

I deleted all folders and files in DS Content and Product folders, then did a search on my drive for all files that may have been missed and deleted any I found. I then uninstalled through Daz Central and reinstalled but no luck reinstalling. I have also tried using DIM. I then located the product in my Daz account and did a manual download and install but all I get is in the pic attached. I have been permutating all sorts of strategies all day, at a loss :(

Thanks for the advice

I honestly don't know why Daz announced G9 / V9 so far in advance!

Oh, that's an easy one - https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/metahuman ; The bar has been moved.   

The link was 404 for me, because the forum put extra characters at the end. Try https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/metahuman

 

Wow! I wonder if this is animation only or can produce stills? Lately I've been developing a visual novel with Daz characters, so stills work well enough.  Even been toying with Live2d to do basic movements.  Either way this is amazing!

I have a rather beefy machine and I tried the Metahumans. They brought my poor compy to its knees. LOL

OK RH.....deleted FG Attic in Content folder in Daz, did a search in Finder for FG Attic and deleted any files I found, went to Daz Central and it still showed "Open" so uninstalled it. Reinstalled. Now I can't find it anywhere so searched in Smart Content and get File does not exist, pic attached. After reinstalling through DC I clicked on the OPEN button but nothing happens.

Not one to give up, I opened the asset from DC, maybe I could download manually, and Im told it's purchased but opening My Orders, of which I have 9 pages worth, yields only order numbers not what they are so finding it will take me a while  :(

Thoughts?

Many thanks

Daventaki's description is the general way to choose where to put your camera if you wan to restrict to camera. Another way is to save camera presets that work well for a given USC feature with the default terrain settings. For example, if you create cameras on the water or path, those cameras will usually not be blocked by vegetation. Then you can use those camera presets over and over with different ecologies and restrict the build to the camera preset you choose to use. Way back about a thousand pages LOL, I created some camera presets and shared them in the forum. I've created a bunch more for other features, but have never packaged them up for sharing. I've been busy with other things.

Thanks Barb... I guess I have my reading cut out for me... Or I'll just make my own cameras as you suggest... yes... I usually camera from a waterway or path...  Maybe I will get lucky and find your settings... From what I have seen.. this is Thread 2 of your UltraScenery?  Thread 1 got to 100 pages... so I guess I'll need to check back there too?  ;)  

Cameras from June 2020

If any part of the sale says something along the lines of 'Buy X to get a discount on Y' I stop reading and go to the forum. Cannot be bothered to faff about. It's rare to find anything new for sale that is worth putting up with a complex sale, so I don't waste my time. I find doing this saves time and almost no money - I found I usually didn't want X, and I wasn't sure I wanted Y either, and definitely not when the price was hiked up by the unwanted X.

Can people who aren't daz+ members watch it? If so what time is it at?

@Diomede no problem, happy to help. I'm still learning too!

I don't know if or how viewership is limited.  The John Holding (Fugazi1968) event was discussed during the big Genesis 9 announcement webinar so it can't be a secret.  But I suppose they limit access.  The link I saw and am referring to is in the sub-forum for Daz+ members, which I only see when I am logged in. 

Thanks, @Pendraia, for the feedback, and @Mada for... wow, everything.

Note to Daz+ Members.  There is an announcement that for Daz+ members Jay Versluis will be hosting John Holding (aka Fugazi1968) on Saturday September 24  to go through an example of making an outfit for Gensis 9 as it stands now.  It is #9 in the first post of the Daz+ Pro Artist Series thread list stickied at the top of the Daz+ Forum.  I point Daz+ members to that forum for specifics on the time, etc.

Question for the Creator: Do you think you can adjust this MetaMixer Plus product so that it will work on a Macintosh? I like what you're trying to do. I'm not at all trying to bash your product. But just to demonstrate that I do know how to use MetaMixer, here are two screen shots. The first is the head I was trying to adjust to look like an actor, without using MetaMixer. The second is the head adjusted with MetaMixer, but not MetaMixer Plus, because MetaMixer Plus stalls my computer and tears the mesh, no matter how slightly I try to adjust a bit of the face by moving a dot ever so slightly. As you can see, I adjusted the earlobes, a bit of the jaw and face line, and the eyes. MetaMixer worked without stalling the computer and with no tearing of the mesh. (Using a Macintosh Pro, late 2013 model, OS 12.6, and DAZ Studio 4.20.0.17)

I do not have a Mac to test it on.

Could you please load in a new Genesis 8.1 figure, then run MetaMixer Setup, then MetaMixer PLUS, then search for "sym_Cheek_F", then select it, then change the X Translate value to 1000. You should see an effect like the attached image. If not tell me what happens.

I can never remember Petipet's product names, I just search for Petipet and scroll through his catalogue -- it's worth it, I'm always finding cool stuff of his that I've forgotten about or ways of using it that I  hadn't thought of before.

This same problem has occured to me as well. I have DIM Sort Order set to: Order Date : Recent First

But it now shows my products listed Alphabettically (#'s, A, B, C, etc.) so my older purchased products are showing up on top.

Subscribers of this forum.... Do you also experience the following issue:

In the Product Library on the Daz3d.com website, all of my purchases from the past 2 days (Wednesday and Thrusday) will no longer load the photo, product details, or manual download links. NOTE: I am experiencing this issue both on my Mac and Windows PC.  Are all of you experiencing this issue too?

Hopefully, someone from the Daz Team will chime-in and acknowledge that they are working on these issues, or if we should submit Support Tickets(?)

 

My purchases from today are also inaccessible in Product Library - but they were there OK about 4-5 hours ago when I bought them, because I went to check on the file sizes. Now I get the spinning shape if I try to select one of them.
