How do I apply root node transformations to hip node?

April 20, 2016, 8:58 pm
$

0

Long story short, I have a figure with a root node (I think that's what it's called, the node with the 3 boxes for an icon) and a hip node both with different translation and rotation variables set to them. To put it simply, I need to consolidate all of these variables to either the root or the hip though for the life of me I can't figure out how to do that in DAZ.

So, ideally, how would I 'bake' all of the translation and rotation variables into the hip node so that the apparent rotation and placement of the figure does not change but the root node's translation and rotation is zeroed out?

DIM reset?

I've migrated all my content from a Mac to a new PC. I did so by doing a file sync so the content libraries are direct copies of the Mac files. Having pointed DAZ Studio to the new libraries, it now sees all my content but DIM does not know that I have migrated everything. Is there a way to tell DIM that I don't need to install 1500+ products?

Install Studio 4.9 on Mac, get error: "A valid PostgreSQL CMS connection could not be established."

Just installed DAZ Studio 4.9 (64bit) on my Mac with OSX 10.8.5. It loaded fine, but when DAZ Studio opens I get error message "A valid PostgreSQL CMS connection could not be established." I checked and installer did create "DAZStudio4 64-bit" folder and "PostgreSQL CMS" folder in application folder and "My DAZ 3D Library" in Users/Shared.

This is a Mac, so there is no anti-virus or firewall software. Any ideas what what might be causing the problem?

THE GIRL

Hello there.

 I need a little help on The Girl. I figured out Aiko 3 but I am having problems with The Girl. Is the The Girl a stand alone figure and if so where is she at? and or, I am unable to get her Morphs to work in Daz3d 4.9. I have Victoria 3, Aiko 3 and The Girl 3 and all Morphs. I'm not new but I am new to the old style of these figures. I thought I would give them a try. Of course Genesis, Genesis2 and Genesis3 is way easier. Thank you.

If someone can help me, that would be way cool of you! Thanks Brian

Yosemite was released yesterday for the Mac but I'm a little hesitant to install it because I don't know if there are any compatibility issues with Yosemite and the latest version of DS4.6.

Would love to hear from anyone who has installed Yosemite about how it's working with DS.

Thanks in advance!

Daz Studio 4.6 (64 bit) old libraries gone?

August 1, 2013, 9:56 pm

Alright, I used to use Daz 3.0 and I really didn't want to switch because I was paranoid enough of new software.
(Windows Update driver completely corrupting my system 32 drivers, ruining my old PC, and Microsoft denying responsibility)

Why is that in the parenthesis pertinent? Well, because I had to get a new PC and lost everything but what I had in zip files.

So I visited the freepository and downloaded some stuff for Daz again, along with Daz Studio 4.6.
In File > Preferences > Content Directory Manager..
It says that I have C:/Users/Public/Documents/My Daz3D Library as the source for my files.
Indeed it is.

But it doesn't work. In the "Actors, Wardrobe & Props" tab, it only has the basics available from the vanilla download.
The basic free stuff such as Genesis male/female and my old V4 model that was still available previously..
They work.
The only way (I know) to access the usual old products is to do a search for the files, then drag & drop from the folder to V4.
Pose, texture, prop and scene files all have to be used this way. Unless.. someone knows what I'm doing wrong?

How do I get Daz 4.9 to recognize my Runtime Libraries content in My Daz3D Library?

Edit - Adding in
C:/Users/Public/Documents/My Daz3D Library/Runtime and
C:/Users/Public/Documents/My Daz3D Library/Runtime/Libraries
That doesn't seem to work either.

Is it possible to create your own unique - grouping of content items?

Instead of having to remember all the names of products in some instances it would be nice to have related items grouped or categorized for quick use.

Examples... Dinosuars have all manner of long-winded names, who can remember them, etc.

Medieval buildings, characters, props and scenes,  apocalyse with character, buildings, backgrounds, props, etc.

It would nice to create and maintain composite groups of all the related content items as user works with them for easy findi and use.

Continuing iMAC and DAZ 4.9 issues...

Any thoughs re:  my iMAC (both iMacs I have) -- when I launch DAZ 4.9 -- the internal fans kick in and rev up.  This happens on a new screen--- no assets loaded-- nothing. (no other programs are running on my iMac)

I can let DAZ sit there and within 2 minutes the internal fans are working like crazy.  And I haven't loaded a single prop yet.

I could see this if it were rendering something in IRay---the NVidia card cooling  itself-- but not on a plain blank work screen.

Just wondering if this is something contributing to why DAZ 4.9 constantly crashes my iMac  OS X 10.11.4.    

I can't even render anything reliably in IRAY without a complete computer crash/reboot.  

(and I mean a simple cube primitive -forget about adjusting Hair or something..That guaratees a crash nearly every time.)

Like I said, I have 2 iMacs---- happens on both...  especially with IRAY selected.  (certian eventual death)

  Model Identifier:    iMac14,2
  Processor Name:    Intel Core i7
  Processor Speed:    3.5 GHz
  Number of Processors:    1
  Total Number of Cores:    4
  L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB

Setting dimensions for characters

April 14, 2016, 9:21 am

Probably an answer here already, but I do't see it. I want my characters to be specific heights and shapes. I have discovered the save as shape tool - great - and the save materials tool - also great - and even the save scene subset for character with haira nd clothing etc., but I I have problems setting dimensions. Measure metrics says a figure is (for the sake of argument) 1.86 m high - I have to convert from real inches measures, but I can't adjust the numbers other than by using a height tool in shaping, which is a slider that perversely shrinks height by increasing the percentage and grows height by decreasing the percentage figure...

I am sure I should be able somehow to say - I want this character five foot 6 inches (or its metric equivalent) and get it done automatically.

If you know how, please help - I really don't want to mess about with primitive set to specific heoghts and that would work for hip, stomach or chest measurements anyway.

Daz Studio Pro BETA - version 4.9.1.30! (HOTFIX - Release Candidate 3 - UPDATED)

Daz 3D is pleased to announce Daz Studio Pro BETA - version 4.9.1.30! (*UPDATED*)

 

!! IF YOU HAVE NOT UPGRADED TO THE GENERAL RELEASE OF 4.9, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU BACKUP YOUR CONTENT DATABASE IN DAZ STUDIO 4.x (E.G., 4.6, 4.7, 4.8) BEFORE LAUNCHING DAZ STUDIO 4.9 !!

How do I backup my User Data in Daz Studio?

 

!! IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY MIGRATED FROM THE OLDER VALENTINA DB BASED CMS TO THE POSTGRESQL BASED CMS, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO SO BEFORE LAUNCHING DAZ STUDIO 4.9 !!

Has the Content Management Service (CMS) changed?

 

Highlights:

4.9.1.30 (*UPDATED*)

  • Fixed various issues relating to being able to deliver Interactive Lessons via Daz Connect (add support for the ability install these like content instead of like a plugin)
  • Updated the usage example embedded within the Interactive Lesson common include script

4.9.1.27

  • Fixed an issue where MDL Directory Manager would hang on launch
  • Fixed an issue in the Poser format importer with resolving paths of files installed via Daz Connect
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the missing image prompt from appearing when images are missing on file load

4.9.1.25

  • Added shader language identifiers for Material(s) and Shader presets; MDL (Iray) vs RSL (3Delight) etc.
  • The sorting order option in smart content views/pages is now saved/restored between sessions (Smart Content Files/Products, Shaping Presets, Posing Presets, Surfaces Presets, Lights Presets, Cameras Presets, Render Settings Presets, etc).
  • Fixed several issues with Scene Builder (now based on the 4.9 database instead of 4.6, 4.7, 4.8)
  • Fixed path resolution for *.daz based content installed using Daz Connect
  • A snapshot of categories and compatibility bases for assets are now copied when creating a product
  • Fixed #DS-1142/#CS-210179 : Case-insensitive sort of folders and files
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the removal of assets from products that were not installed through Daz Connect
  • Removed the “Remove Orphaned File References” and “Consolidate File References” options from DB Maintenance dialog (does not make sense with the 4.9 database structure)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented renaming of products that were not installed through Daz Connect
  • Fixed an issue with product update triggers to prevent erroneous product deletes
  • Extended the Store add/remove scripting API (removing "DAZ 3D" or "LOCAL USER" stores is not supported)
  • Reserved values (i.e., "DAZ 3D" and "LOCAL USER" stores, and "LOCAL USER" product) are are now ensured to be present in the database on setup/startup
  • Fixed an issue with setting the texture type while copying a layered texture
  • Fixed an issue in Iray Uber shader with the application of Diffuse Strength to images
  • Fixed an issue with Poser format files failing to receive metadata when the parent directory of the runtime directory was not also mapped as a native directory

4.9.1.21

  • Fixed an issue where migrated products that were installed by Install Manager (or manually) were being marked as being installed by Daz Connect.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented a serial number from being entered while working offline (unless adjacent wizard pages were stepped back/forth after the serial number was entered into the field).
  • Fixed an issue with inaccurate indication of missing file on scene load (some products that are already installed were showing as needing to be installed).
  • Fixed incorrectly removing existing asset records in the database when importing metadata from dsx files.
  • Fixed advanced filter date parsing in smart asset/product views (see Advanced Filtering for more information).
  • Fixed system configuration detection to be the same on 64 bit and 32 bit*
  • Fixed system configuration detection to handle machine accounts with admin privileges*
  • Fixed issues with messaging on failed connections to be more accurate (some occurances incorrectly stated that the username or password were incorrect)
  • Fixed the “Update Metadata” action in context menus for products so that it now forces an update to the metadata cache rather than refreshing from the local cache
  • Fixed the LOCAL USER product image (./resources/images/local-user-product.png was missing)
  • Fixed an issue that could cause multiple unending connection attempts (prevented the application from successfully closing)
  • Fixed an issue where account credentials were not being converted before being handed to Daz Connect (caused login to fail when non-ASCII characters were used)
  • Fixed migration triggers for products where the StoreId is not “DAZ 3D” and/or where the ProductToken is empty

*Note: A "Configuration Changed" message is expected to display for all users that have logged into Daz Connect upon launching this build; until said user has logged into Daz Connect a minimum of one more time; the system configuration detection algorithm changed to resolve differences as noted above, so everyone is impacted. Note that switching between builds provided by the General Release channel and the Public Build channel (and the Private Build channel for those involved in that endeavor) will cause this message to display; until such time that the builds offered through all channels are using the same algorithm.

 

Important Notes:

  • The first time you launch Daz Studio 4.9, any data that exists in the content database is migrated so that it can be used in Daz Studio 4.9.
  • The amount of time the database migration operation takes is proportional to the amount of data to be migrated.
  • The database migration operation does not delete the data that it migrates from the previous location so that it remains accessible by earlier versions and other applications, such as Carrara.
  • Daz Studio 4.9 uses the same PostgreSQL database as Daz Studio 4.6 and later, and/or other applications, such as Carrara.
  • A portion of the data contained within the database is shared amongst versions but not entirely. For example:
    • Creating a category in either Daz Studio 4.9 or 4.8 will cause that category to exist in the other version
    • Assigning a file to that category in Daz Studio 4.9 will NOT cause that file to be assigned to that category in Daz Studio 4.8
    • Assigning a file to that category in Daz Studio 4.8 WILL cause the file to be assigned to the category in Daz Studio 4.9
  • Reseting the database in any version of Daz Studio that uses PostgreSQL (e.g., 4.6 or later) will purge all of data in the database, including any data that may be used by earlier versions or other applications, such as Carrara.
  • After the initial migration operation, edited metadata in Daz Studio 4.8 will not be migrated to Daz Studio 4.9.
    • A workaround is to export User Data from Daz Studio 4.8 and reimport User Data in Daz Studio 4.9.

Anyone else's "Smart Content" lost its mind in D|S 4.9?

April 22, 2016, 5:27 pm

Ok this is driving me a bit batty. I'm running the connect version of 4.9 with a clean DB populated ONLY with products downloaded via connect and I swear to gawd my smart content has lost its mind, epecially on searches. I can search anywhere from a specific product name to a more generic term and i'm getting everything BUT what i'm putting in the search paramter window.

Example: I search> smart content> Victoria 4 elite

And I get back 436 entries and not a single one has ANYthing to do with V4. Um Wha?

I cant even find anything Vicky 4 elite searchnig under the regular contant tab either. You wanted Vicky? Here have Brock  and 11,000 orther entries instead cause... reasons.

I can't figure it out. Metadata has be reimported half a dozen times, yes everything is pointing to the correct folders. I can see said products in the folders if I browse to them, etc. Why do you hate me search function??  It's gone from being occassionally frustrating to downright no longer working.

Daz3dIM.exe detected as ransomware by malwarebytes

I have the malwarebytes anti ransomware detector (v0.9.15.416) running in the background on my windows 7 PC.  When I tried to install Daz Studio 4.9, the detector flagged daz3dim.exe and put it into quarantine.  Now I've heard lots of terrible things about how daz3d -- the company -- is treating its customers by tying its programs to some sort of on line monitoring and content control.  But ransomware?! Are they doing things with this program that could enable them to encypt my files and hold them hostage? Perhaps the level of control they want is way too much.  What gives? Anybody else have trouble with installing the daz3dim?  Is it OK?  Should I exclude it from the malwarebytes scans.
