Where can I find an up to date tutorial for using Keymate?

$
0
0

I have checked out the tutorial links and none of them are what I'm loooking for, as well as the ones I did see are out of date. I want to animate a simple animation with Keymate, not using Aniblocks, just move a node, set keyframe, then move it again and set keyframe etc...

I tried this with Keymate and it wasnt working right, I'd set a keyframe at Frame 0, then move the slider to 30 (1 sec) and close the eyes, set keyframe, then move to 60 (2 sec) and open the eyes, set keyframe. But when I play the animation It would just go from frame 0 (Eyes open) to frame 60 (eyes open)?

I've used 3D Studio max and had no issues with animating figures before, but it seems like overkill in this project. So I am assuming I'm doing something wrong as far as procedure with the keyframes. Is there a tutorial that spells it out step by step for setting a keyframe correctly that is up to date and clearly explained. Something along the lines of Set initial keyframe, move object/node, click "Set keyframe", move slider?

Thank you for any help with an up to date tutorial or help manual link.


Is Michael 4 content compatible with Michael 7?

I saw a cool Skeleton model for Michael 4 and I have Michael 7 but not 4. Just wondering if it'll be more or less compatible with 7?

Kinda new to Daz studio so forgive the question if it's dumb.

How do you pan around the camera 360 degrees?

$
0

I was trying to do a simple animation with the camera panning around the character returning to the original position.

Then I realized it is impossible to do easily, or is it?

When I tried to fix the camera to the character by selecting point at, it flips upside down when crossing the Z axis.

If I tried to carefully move the camera around by only using the X and Z position sliders and the Y rotation, the movement was jerky, and the subject distance was all over the place.

Is there a way, to simply move the camera around a path? (Preferably a circle) Without having to manually set every frame as a keyframe?

Thanks!

PS: No rotating the character while the camera stays still is not an option, because of the lighting and environment.

 

Look At My Hair UV maps

So the UV maps exported with LAMH OBJs are in these odd little squares evenly spaced in a grid, rather than the UV of a single strand spread over a whole tile. I want it spread over a whole tile. Is there a way to make it UV any differently?

Unable to remove light

I had not been able to remove the light coming from the right. I have deleted all cameras and lights. This is from the defalt camera with headlamp off. I tryed adding another camera and turning headlamp off. I removed hair, clothing and tryed differant skin textures for Genesis 8, but nothing seems to eliminate the light.

Any thougths on what I may be overlooking?

Thanks

If I choose the root of a figure and drag it with the translation tool it changes pose

if I choose the hip and translate from there it doesnt.

 

What did I do and how do I correct it?

Using Trim Sheets in DAZ Studio?

$
0
0

Hi all,

this might be a stupid question, but I couldn't find any hints on how to use Trim Sheets in DS. Either I'm missing something or I have to create an MDL allowing me to move/crop the texture on the object.

I tried to use Hexagon but the resulting UV map did move the basecolor only, displacement, etc. stayed where they are.

Just in case, here is a solid explanation why and how to use trimsheets: https://www.artstation.com/pixelmasher/blog/eodW/trim-sheet-tutorial-environment-art-101

I'd be grateful for any pointers.

TIA, Erik

If i remember correctly the pins was in the tool settings pane, now in the new version I added the pane, but only see a button for enable pins menu, but where is the menu, I am not seeing anything to set a pin. I just want to pin her feet where they are so she doesnt moce to far out of place, but I can't find the button to set a pin.

Is there a setting that would usually be defaulted on in prior version that is defaulkted off for rendering iray in 4.12? Ive been rendering a scene in iray that I have rendered before with the same characters in it just different scenario than before. and it's been over 20 minutes now and still says 0%. Usually the whole would have been rendered in less than 20 minutes in the last version. And I read from the info email I got that this new version has something to reduce render times, but I havent seen any mention of it and how to activate it. What is this new feature and how do I use it? I got a pretty good system here. intel i7 processor and the nvidia geforce gtx 1080ti card in it

DS 4.12 very slow

I had no problem with good render times in 4.11, but since I upgraded to 4.12 the renders are slower and the viewport is laggy.

My Graphics Card is an Nvidia GForce GTX 980ti

I attached my specs.

The PC was built in April 2017.

Does anyone else experience the same problem?

In 4.10 I had a script which created "boob bounce" in my animations, and with 4.11 it no longer works (errors out).  I NEED my "boob bounce"!!!  What do I do?

If, like me, you're suffering an Uncanny Valley attack every time you launch DAZ Studio 10.12, then go to Preferences/Interface/General/ and change Default to Alternate.

MD to Daz D-force Dissapearing Mesh

I recently started playing with Marvelous Designer and creating clothing for Daz d-force. The only problem is when I try to simulate the clothing it completely disappears. I did a bit of research and it seems that it is a colliding vertices issue, however, I have never experienced this before and am not really sure what to look for. I know this might be a ridiculous question but what exactly do colliding vertices look like?

I would really like to fix this problem if anyone has any ideas or tips for me!

Can someone please help me get this correct. New install - old issue.

Am I exporting FBX wrong?

Hello,

I'm trying to experiment a bit with Daz3D i'm totally new on this, not new on unity thought, but everything is going wrong from the very beginning.

When i'm on DAZ i just load a figure, load a Skin MAT, then some clothes and hair and that's it. I export the result to fbx with the settings on the attached screenshot.
Then I import the FBX on Unity and it has no material/textures nothing it's just white, i've tried with Gen3, Gen2, Gen8...
I don't know if i'm missing a plugin or something, does anyone can help me?
I'm working on a MAC OS, last version of DAZ and Unity.

Thanks and regards
