Hi again everyone. I want to make sure I'm not messing up. i downloaded some content from Most Digital Creations and I want to know how to install it. I tried the old way and it doesn't seem to work. Can someone help me. I know how to unpack the zip files and drage the files to My library (the old way). How does one go about it now with the new connection thing?
And is there any user manual that is specifically for 4.9?
I noticed in Advanced Settings under Hardware, there are two choices for me to use for rendering. The first choice is CPU and the other is my NVIDIA GeForce. Which one is the best for rendering on my computer?
Hi there ...
Have a strange problem since yesterday. The TABS/PANES are no more undockable ... i cant move them either. When i rightclick AUX Viewport, for eample, the only thing i can choose is "Show IPR Toolbar".
What happend here? Anybody an idea?
Thx :-D
I created some metadate for the general poses that come with M4 Pro Bundle. These poses appear in the pictures for the product, but they don't in the products list that are included in the bundle. In other words, they must be a part of another product and not a product by themselves.
I forgot to set the root compatibility base. I want to add it so that I can edit one of the poses. (I put it in the lying category but it should be in the sitting category, but DS won't let me edit it because it says I have to pick a product from the product page to use this function. So would I just add the Michael 4 Pro Bundle to the root category list? I don't see it in the list. Or maybe the poses would be in the Michael 4 base?
Thanks.
I'm trying to work out how to use dforce. I've watched a video tutorial on weight map painting, the person demonstrating says to use subrractive painting but does not say how to make it subtractive. I've created the surface which goes red but I can't do subtractive painting. I've clicked every button that looked relevant but however much I paint over the surface it stays completly red and doesn't change at all. If I try to paint with the righthand mouse button I just get a menu appearing. How to I tell Studio that I want the brush to subtract from the weight?
I've been tinkering with dForce a bit (finally got one of the Medieval Cloaks to simulate without exploding or falling apart -- God bless weight maps!), and while attempting to animate a walk with dynamic cloth, I've noticed some rather bizarre behavior in AniMate 2. I add a start aniblock to the timeline, then a corner-left aniblock, followed by a walk-cycle aniblock. If I select any aniblock and attempt to drag it along the timeline, the representation of the aniblock (the blue rectangle) will jump well to the left of the cursor, to a point that is even before the start of the timeline! Attempting to drag it back to where it was supposed to be causes other aniblocks to "trade places". I've had to delete everything and start over several times, and it's starting to honk me off!
This kind of behavior didn't happen with 4.9; what changed, and how do I fix it?
I am having a problem. If I save a preset with an area light plane, the headlamp blocker and 2 distance lights, when I load it back in the area light plane is gone. Is there something I need to be doing to save my light setup? Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm glad to see this product, as I was never happy that DS didn't have a Cloth Room function.
I see from the menus that it uses the GPU, so I'm guessing it's using the CUDA cores specifically? If that's the case, is this planned to eventually make use of more than one/all GPUs in the system, selectable as with IRay? Is there a projected timeline of what features are planned and expected to be implemented?
Hi Can anyone suggest a new Graphics card. I have the NVIDIA GT 640 at the moment, it is working but not as efficient anymore, just been on to NVIDIA help desk they recommend a new card as they do not recommend my present one, also must support open cl for the new dforce as the gt640 desn't. Budget up to £300 but obviously the less cost the better
thanks

I've seen the videos, so I know it's possible; I just need some clues as to how to go about it.
I'm working up a video -- your basic animated NVIATWAS, temple-priestess-investiture scenario. I want to use the Medieval Cape for G2F (creating a white texture with gold embroidery for it is another issue entirely!), with the figure walking toward the ceremonial altar, and the cape moving along with her. Here's the question: will I have to run a dForce simulation on every frame, to get it to drape properly? Or is there a way to automate it, while each frame is rendered?
It must be something I accidentally disabled (somehow!) but I can no longer access basic keyboard shortcuts, such as Save and Undo.
Very frustrating to have to make a trip to the menu just to save! lol But I can't find the Preference...
BTW: I am able to rotatee view (Ctrl+Alt) from the keyboard.
Thanks!

Masking an area with the weight map tool does keep the bits you dont want to slide down the figure while allowing the rest to drape. However there is a bit of "but" here - the masked surfaces keep their position in space where what I think should happen is that they keep their position in space relative to the figure being dressed.
The attached is a simple test, genesis bent back and slightly twisted at chest level with a raised leg. THe masked portion of the dress is in exactly the same position as the zeroed pose while the rest drapes quite nicely.
Has anyone else noticed this / found a solution / am i doing something stupid?
Thanks
Is it possible to print off a character I design in Daz studio on a 3d printer so I can have a small real world figure to create with further?
I tried to download the latest verion of Studio for another computer, and the Download Mnager didn't work. So I tried the manual download, and that didn't work either. Is anyone else having this problem?
Hey guys! I've made some blendshape for character. But with changing mesh I changed length of bones on a standard genesis 3 body. Is it possible to create slider in Shaping that will affect on the mesh deformation and length of it bones both?
WHAT CAN I DO?
DAZ?
Anyone... anyone...
content paradise ... and stuff???
Helloooo
Maybe you could again make my render easier :)
Is there a way to reset the cache data ?
I explain : if I try a render with one bump image. Then I modify this image bump in photoshop because it's not perfect? When I reload a render DAZ don't use my new image version but the oldest !
For now my only solution is to close daz and re-open :(
So my question : How to reset this old data cache ? :)
I hope you could understand my approximative english :))
THANK YOU
Hello, I installed DAZ 4.9 one my computer about two weeks ago and it worked wonderfully. Yesterday it stopped working, I would get the splash screen up and that is all. I have uninstalled it both manually and through DAZ install manager, I have tried to reinstall through DAZ install manager muttiple times, several times manually and it still will not run. This morning when trying to install it, the counter made it to 99% and I got two error messages.
1.) QtCore4.dll cannot find
2.) QrXml4.dll cannot find
Can someone please help me with this? I am not new to computers or DAZ for that matter but this one has me stumped
Thank you anyone for your time and attention to this! Peg Thompson
I work with the following PC components:
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit
NVidia Quadro FX 5800 (latest driver 12/2016 - there is no newer driver since 12/2016 for this card)
8 x Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU X5472@3.00GHz
Now to my problem - I did:
I downloaded the file for OpenCL here:
http://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/9022/opencl_runtime_16.1.1_x64_setup.msi
1) I logged in as an administrator
2) run the msi file.
3) logged out as an administrator
4) DAZ Studio started, scene created, in the Simulation Settings under Advanced, the Xeon X5472 processors are displayed under OpenCL Device.
5) Click on Simulation and get the request for compilation (according to Screen)
6) clicked on yes and
7) receive the following error message (according to screen): Error initializing OpenCL kernels
I am not a PC expert, what can I do?
I have been beta testing the script with 3D2ALL and it's working perfectly with the Mac version of Maya 2016 ext 2 and Daz3D 4.10.
It exports in 2 clicks.
BlendShapes (now known as the ShapeEditor) and HumanIK Rigs.
Here's a sample. I have others but I am very new to Daz and had some time figuring out how to put the clothes on or make the heels straight.
