I wouldn't have thought the import format would matter, but how do they appear in the Scene pane? Are they just floating loose or are they grouped? I just tried it with a few spheres in parented pairs and didn't get any errors.

If you use the latest Nvidia driver Studio version, there shouldn't be such difference in 4.22/4.23.

As for "without use her Base" when Saving a customized character ... you have to export the figure to OBJ, then import OBJ with Morph Loader Pro to create single Head / Body morph on G8F Base figure. In this way, you don't need Rera as a Base char.

 

Your the bessssssssssssst!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 

No problem ~ You're welcome my friend ! 

By the way , I notice I have more bugs after this update for some more figures poses and more. but I just find it one by one and not together , have any way to see what things got damaged and fix it at once? or just one by one when I see the error reinstall it. thank you ^^ 

TBH, I didn't find other big issues on my side... Any issue, pls just feel free to post in here ~~

It the same error as my model , I need to unistall and install few things over and over again but I don't know what missing right now , only If I want to use it so I see it missing , This why I ask if have something that install everything that missing and not one by one.
This sure going be the last time I ever update my software. I loved actually the 4.22 was perfect for me , was a mistake now I pay for it hehe.
By the way thank you! if I will have more problems I will write here ^^ 
By the way I need to install this as well? maybe this why I have bugs or not need it?

You can do something similar with DS primitives alone. Start with an empty scene. The main ring being a short cylinder with all but the outer row of end facets deleted or made transparent. Then the inner face of the nose ring made from a smaller diameter cylinder with all end face facets deleted or made transparent. The individual balls made from sphere primitives scaled and moved to the correct place. Then export your nose ring model as an obj file, close the scene and import the obj file into DS and apply a silver or gold shader to the object. Now load your character, move and scale the ring to the character's nose and parent it to their head. Congratulations, you've made a useful model. Regards, Richard.

That's correct. Without Login, you can only see products under Installed. The current status sounds good. Now it's your decision:

Option 1: Don't Login. Always update products by using DIM.
Option 2: Login with Update Metadata again... to see what will happen. Be noted, you might get the same result as before... It's up to you ~~  If you want to test, suggest you make another backup of cms cluster folder...

Crosswind, the warning I got sounds rather ominous. What user data will I lose?

I don't want to lose all my saved scenes.

BTW ... how can I make the font size bigger on this forum? I see a lot of options but none for font size.

I don't think you've ever manually modified any metadata of the products... Do you know how to do that ? If you don't, choose No.

To increase font size of your Browser, hold Ctrl key, scroll Up your mouse wheel...

This issue seems stuborn... I have no other idea by now but further suggestion you try:

- Reset cms database with Content DB Maintenance firstly. All local and cloud metadata will be erased. (ss1)
- Re-Import all metadata.

Then DO NOT Login Daz Connect for the time being. Check in Smart Content if thumbnails look fine....

You seem to use blender the same as you use daz studio, that's just bad. In blender we don't want to import pose morphs as we use a IK armature for posing and animation. This usually brings daz favorites to a few shape morphs for geografts. However to reply your question in your case you may want to use favorite morphs instead of daz favorites, the name is similar but favorite morphs lets you create your own lists inside blender.

Re-importing metadata worked ?

Hello Crosswind. No. I don't think it worked. It did something though.

Now if I look in the install tab under "available" most of the items nave a dotted line round them as seen in the attached. A few do not. Under "pending" there is nothing.

In the Smart Content tab under in available I have fewer items and most have dotted lines around them - but not all. Under Updates I have 7 items. I doubt they actually have been updated yet though since they are new and it normally take DAZ forever to get around to updating anything.

It's just fine you see them under Available... but those thumbnails framed with dotted lines seem resulting from some glitch when updating metadata or uninstall the products in Connect.

"Dotted line" means that product has no cloud metadata. I just have one product like this... if I logged in with Update Metadata or directly modified the data field in cms database with DBA tool, it would turn normal. (ss 1 ~ 2)

So I suggest you try below steps:

1) Fully close DIM and all DS sessions. Open File Browser, go to folder: %appdata%\DAZ 3D\ There's a sub-folder named cms. Copy it to another disk !
2) Launch DS. DO not Login Daz Connect !!! (or Log out !) Then re-import all Metadata via Content DB Maintenance... (ss 3) Then check how the thumbnails change.
3) Login Daz Connect with checking Update Metadata option !  Wait for the complation of Update... Then check how those product thumbnails change in Available tab.

Edit: ( If this try brings nothing changed... you can: fully close DS / DIM, copy cms folder that you backed up... to %appdata%\DAZ 3D\  Overwrite to restore cms database to its previous status.)

Okay. I am at this point: "Login Daz Connect with checking Update Metadata option". How do I "Login Daz Connect with checking Update Metadata option"

As shown in ss1:

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
If I export a figure from DAZ with let's say 50 often used morphs tagged as Favorites, and then import the figure with DAZ Favorites enabled, it takes a very long time to import that figure.

Is there a way to not import DAZ Favorites when initially importing that figure, but later import only selected Favorite morphs when needed, instead of having to import all of the DAZ Favorite morphs at once?

In the image below for example, I only needed the 3DU Hip Crouch morph from the list of custom morphs, but I had to import all of them instead, which takes a very long time.
There's a lot of going back and forth from DAZ to Blender in order to change clothes or hair of a figure, so long figure import times are an issue.

Thanks!

I'm not sure to understand, of course you can change the daz favorites and import a single morph. Or import custom morphs. Or import dbz morphs. Or import favorites morphs. In general daz favorites are used with easy import to load a full figure as we want her, then we can re-use daz favorites with a different set if needed.

https://bitbucket.org/Diffeomorphic/import_daz/wiki/Setup/Morphs

Re-importing metadata worked ?

OK, that means this is purely a metadata issue. One potential issue is if you close, daz Studio, open DIM, and install you can end up with PostgreSQL not running (because it was still working on closing down when DIM started). Try not to do that. You can probably fix the issue by opening the Content Library option menu (the lined/"hamburger" button in the top corner orr ight-click the tab) and selecting Content DB Maintenance, then checking Reimport Metadata, and selecting your missing products in the next dialogue.

Hi,
Is it possible to selectively import a single morph for a figure later, or is this limited to either all of DAZ Favorites or none?
Just trying to avoid loading times for a lot of unnecessary morphs along with what I actually need.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I don't know what i'm doing wrong. When i import a character from Daz to Blender, the character skins are scaly. Can someone help me fix this issue ?
