Roaring Silence

The three adventurers Noska, Karen and Björn were investigating a mysterious wood, when Björn said "Shh, did you hear that?"  The girls both replied "No", and Björn replied "Exactly!".

V4 is pre-genesis that means old technology, if you look at the release date it's 2006 that's almost twenty years ago. You can't expect genesis features as head propagating scale or full body morphs or conforming outfits in V4 V3 figures. Indeed it is much better to use genesis wearing V4 outfits, I mean Victoria 5, rather than using V4 herself.

I don't know about your everyday life, but for most people https://www.daz3d.com/cgi-secret-details-for-genesis-9-masculine-and-merchant-recourses

In that case, I agree that it's a sensible decision.

Even so, people don't ket kicked out of the swimming pool if they turn up like that. Admittedly, most of us don't look that way!

I agree!

To the  DAZlings who decided this AI solutionI suggest ou really should revisit the think tank. This course leads to a dead end, suicide mission. If you, DAZlings, are trying to retain customers and not drive them nuts away, stop blurring pg 13 content with R rated content. Stop using AI because whoever programmed this model you are using, is an embicile. But if you are headstrong to ride this route,be inclusive. Implement this mature filter for stuff we post in the forum. If we can't post it neither should you. Why not give us this filter in the forum. If you can, we can. That is the hypocritisy. No alternative filter for those in the forum who want to post nude examples, but the PAs are exempt and can post this under a mature filter but we cannot? PAs do not bring in the money that pay you and them. We the buyers do. And we should be able to post mature filtered content too. But you really need to get what mature filtered content because your AI filter seems to be suffering a meltdown.

Btw, presentation is everything.  No matter how good your product is, if you cannot present it well, make it look good in the promos and show off what it is and how it works, then it probably wont get in the store.

This made me laugh so hard. Loads of promo pics for DAZ products are absolutely abhorrent 

Thank you all for your input. As for contacting DAZ about the first submission - should I use the "submit a request" button on the zendesk page?

I'm planning o making 3-5 pose packs to start with so that my potential store page won't look like a deserted place.

Also, do PA's gain access to some of the in-house products (such as Victoria 8.1, Victoria 9) for free for the purpose of making promo renders? The core figures are getting expensive!

1. Yeah, no comment on other peoples promos.

2. Yes, submit via the ZenDesk page

3. Good choice.  I would recommend spacing them out just so that you have stuff coming out as you contunue to work on new ones.  It will depend on how quickly you can work.  I personally submit 3 months in advanced in case I get behind on making new sets and so that I am not stressed out trying to get the new one out

4. No one talks about fight club! 

Thank you for the response, however I didn't understand the Fight Club analogy :D I also edited my previous post, can you take a look?

Is there a pic/video tutorial on this somewhere?

What is the right way to export Victoria 4(.2) into, and out of Daz?

This whole thing has been driving me mad for months. 

Grab a coffee, this could get confusing, and monotonous (plus, I'm in a library, and I hate the keyboards here).

Like with G8 you have to delete eyelashes. Does anything of V4 need to be hidden or deleted? Does her resolution need to be set at "Base"? Does her Sub-D need to be lowered? What settings to I use in Blender when I'm importing and exporting her? (Are the setting that I use for G8 good enough?) What settings do I need the importer and exporter do I need Daz to be set at (is it the Poser option, or does it not work anymore, like Blender's setting from the drop-down menu)?

I'm trying to create a morph for V4(.2) in Faceform Wrap. The mesh wrap with no issues. The only issue is getting the morph back into Daz without having a delta go missing.

One Wrap failed because the eyes failed to morph with the figure (the figure morphed, but the eyes stayed in place). Then there's the eyelashes that don't morph with the morph (i.e. either get bigger or smaller with the size of the eye, or conform to the shape of the eye).

I'm probably mad for trying to do this. But what's driving me is that I know that it CAN be done.

When I use Legacy UVs for Genesis 9: Genesis 3, 8, and 8.1 Female the corners of the eyes become white without texture. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have messaged you about this.  You said this is Aino HD, but as I don't have this character I need to know if you have this problem with any other characters, like Victoria 8.  From your video I noticed that you clicked on the "Apply UVs" script before you loaded the MAT.  You should load the MAT first and then run the "Apply UVs" script, as instructed in the User PDF.

...Having said that, you do see underwear for men with images like that on the packaging. Calvin Klein products spring to mind.

But none of this would matter if the preference could be remembered when not signed in or the UI improved, and the classifications made accurate (for my definition of accurate obviously!) And ultimately, it's an irritation, nothing more.

The Kiss

After they successfully escaped Foxton, and took a lift with Max Fredricks to the small moon of Zepa-VII, Will and miss Stout finally got s moment for themselves. Miss Stout said at the small bar table: "Will, you are my knight in shining armour, my hero, my prince!". Will got so touched that he moved over to her side, and kissed her, and poof, he was turned into a gigantic toad, and they lived happily ever after.

That has been top of the What's Hot for a couple of days now, so it appears having the mature content applied to your product does not wreck its sales.

I am a bit perplexed why people think this is affecting their shopping experience. Regardless of how the items are flagged, all someone needs to do is allow Mature Content in their user settings and you will not be affected by any of this, the shop will look and perform exactly as before.

Shopping? I don't think it does. You have to sign in to buy things. I don't leave the site signed in because no authorisation is needed to make purchases.

While I do think it's rather silly given the content on sale here, it doesn't need to affect the experience at all, but the implementation means it does.

• Rather than remember the preference for mature images when not signed in, I must click throguh the warning every time.
• It makes it look as though I'm looking at something seedy if I don't sign in, and I don't consider I am. It makes me reluctant to use the site in public when not signed in.

So now I have to sign in just to browse, which is an inconvinence. I no longer use the site on my phone while commumting because it's too much hassle to avoid the blurry images,

Renderosity has done this too, but their implementation seems a lot better.

• They have set the mature bar at a sensible level, or maybe a human decides. IDK.
• They never hide the main product thumbnail. It's only ever a mannequin if the item itself can't be represented in a non-mature way. Daz doesn't sell such items.
• For images where there is genuine mature content, you can just click the thumbnail and see it immediately. No annoying warning to click through every single time.

That said, I don't use their site in public either, but that's because they really do have content that most people would consider mature.

And it is the only item for which the hiding is appropriate. The images are also essential to illustrate what you're buying. So, in this case, DAZ got it right.

The item that had a 'mature' sign over a slightly pinkish wall, not so much

Hmm. This might be the rare case of the opposite problem, which is all of your joint correctives being off. There should be a few dozen greyed-out corrective morphs for Genesis 9 and for Victoria 9 specifically visible in this view. Make sure the correctives in my screenshot, which will be near the top of the list when you select "all", are on.

hi all

I am trying to do a fight scene with G9 female using some poses from "Agile and Amazing Dodging" 

But i am having some problems with really bad hips.

The attached images are of Victoria 9

!/ its really messing up the shot I want 

2/ its really issing me off as I cannot work out how to fix it.

Any help as always is really welcome.

Hello,

I found a strange behavior regarding the 'Aurora Basic Hand Poses and Props Collection for Victoria 9' (90830). First, I used one of the Phone poses and it worked perfectly well: hand correctly posed and the phone prop placed properly. Fine.

Two frames later, though, I used another one of the same pose set (trying to place the phone in the other hand, different pose) and it just didn't work. The hand wasn't posed and the phone prop was placed somewhere. I made sure the nodes weren't locked or something, it just did not work. For testing, I used another pose from the set, this time one without a prop. It worked perfectly well. Therefore, I tried another pose with a prop (one of the Cigarette poses) and it again did not work. 

It seems, the plain poses work correctly, but once a prop is put into the scene, all other prop + poses don't work. This is also the case when I completely delete the prop from the scene before using the next one, even when I completey zero the whole figure.

What might be the reason for this strange behavior? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting that might be used by the pose set I need to reset before using the next one?

Welp.. I fixed the problem through trail and error.. It apears to be a bug where every new project you have to re-load the root path in Blender then import it works, merging geografts with the mesh correctly.

Anotrher thing, my origanl method to make both grafts and shells work was ineffective and that original project file still refuses to load correctly. So for anyone struiggling with this here's exactly what I did in Daz to get it to work:

- Add the Victoria 9 skin to genesis 9

- Add STX navel and run mat script

- Add STX Nipples and run mat script

- Select Genesis 9 in scene and add a Golden Palace smart preset

- Go to the shells in scene tab for majora and minora and for each go to parameters>shell>visibility>surfaces and turn off stx gen 9 nipples and navel (both)

-Select Golden Palace int he scene tab and run the Golden Palace material copy script.
