I am confused about the 3d printing part in the Eula. I understand printing is allowed for personal use.
So what if I create figures as a hobby, and want to share the resulting exported and converted STL files for free, so others can make personal prints. Is this allowed?

Very new to Daz Studio
Alright, I am extremely new to Daz3d and, well, no idea what I am doing.
I have Daz Studio 4.15
I have the Content Manager, Daz Central
I open Daz Central, and I have a bunch of products installed. Let's take Genesis 8.1 Essentials.
It says I have that, and it is installed.
I open Daz Studio. Products. Figures Genesis 8 Starter Essentials.
Then I go to Figures. Everything has an exclamation point. Nothing is installed. Nothing can be found.
I double click on anything there and it says, "Could not open file. File does not exist"
What the hell am I doing wrong?

Saving a lighting preset that includes HDRI and settings?
Is there a way to save a lighting preset that includes the HDRI/environment light and its settings, as well as the point lights in the scene? I'm redoing some serial image work and don't want to have to re-create the environment and scene lighting every time.
Thanks!

dForce Hair Suddenly Not Rendering
Rendered yesterday...today, no dForce hair item I try renders... not in preview render, not in full render.
I have not updated Studio in the interim, nor have I update drivers. It appears there is a Windows update pending restart... which scares me.
Anyone else?

4.15 Still Keeps Running After Closing the Program?
Ever since 4.12 this has been an issue. I was hoping 4.15 would fix it.
Ive seen some say it takes a few minutes then closes. I let my pc run overnight and still had to end the task in Windows to be able to restart.
Whats the story with this? Extremely annoying!
Thanks In Advance!

Daz Render settings Full RESET
Can you actually reset the Render settings via the Default button or the restore Render settings to default option? Cause aside from everything, it still keeps the environment settings/backdrop intact and I can't seem to clear it up nor get rid of it. Why do I have to deal with that option like that and simply just not clear the settings, like ENTIRELY?
This is a pain.
EDIT: Nvm, I realized Daz made those tone mapper/environment nodes in the scene tab for that purpose only. Well, forget about what I said

Turn Off Fake Contrast?
Is there a way to adjust or turn off the fake contrast when you're looking at an environment from underneath, while in textured or smooth shaded mode?
It's borderline-impossible to judge when a character's feet are clipping through the floor if everything you see is black.
I'm aware there are other viewport modes which'll let you see that more easily, but I prefer to keep my framerate in the double digits.
Especially given how fidgety and imprecise the viewport transforms are.

Where is the Sun Dial - can't find it
I do not of the Iray sun dial in smart content. I don't know how it gets installed in the first place, so I can't look it up on DIM to find it in the content library. Can someone tell me where I can find it in the content library?

Exporting Substance Painter Maps / Importing Those Maps into Daz
I'm having a remarkably hard time finding any reference, notes, or forum posts that specifically addresses this, so maybe it's an unmet thing and maybe - just maybe - a long-winded, data-rich post can help us all get on the same page.
I'm having a lot of fun learning to paint models in Substance Painter. And I have successfully exported PBR textures from that program into Blender. But now I'm to the point where I want to export these maps and import them into Daz for rendering in that environment, but I have two problems:
-
I can't identify the precise export template - including all relevant maps - that I should be using when attempting to export from Substance Painter.
-
I can't identify the precise shader values where I plug those into when I’m working in Daz Studio.
1 | Substance Painter Export Template
Here is a thread that I used to guide me as to select the following output template: Document channels + Normal + AO (with alpha)
For my exports intended for Blender, I have used the following Preset: PBR Metallic Roughness with the following alteration: For the normal texture, I use Normal OpenGL instead of Normal DirectX.
This leaves me with the following (primary) PBR textures: BaseColor, Height, Metallic, Normal and Roughness.
As I am not incredibly conversant in the use of IRAY, I am not certain what my different maps should be (and how I should modify them). However, in part two, I’m going to put my knowledge of PBR-assignment next to what I’ve attempted in DAZ and see where that lands me.
2 | Plugging Those Exported Maps into Models in DS
Here’s a chart that puts those maps into context: Blender PBR & DS IRAY (Metal / Plastic). I’m confident this will be wrong. But I’m also confident that one of you kind people can help me figure out how to fix it:
|
Substance Painter |
Blender |
Daz Studio |
|
Texture Map |
Principled BSDF |
Lighting Model: Metallic |
|
BaseColor (RGB) |
Base Color |
Diffuse Color |
|
Height (Gray) |
Unused |
Height |
|
Metallic (Gray) |
Metallic |
Unknown |
|
Normal (RGB) |
Normal |
Normal Map |
|
Roughness (Gray) |
Roughness |
Glossiness (Map Inverted) |
|
Opt / Emissive (RGB) |
Emission |
Unknown |
|
Opt / Opacity (Grey) |
Alpha |
Opacity Strength |
There are two maps that I can’t find a home for: the Metallic and the Emissive (where relevant).
And all this assumes that there is a 1-to-1 relationship between Blender’s PBR maps and Daz IRAY’s maps, which there probably isn’t. I mean, perfectly. So that’s what I want to figure out.
Thanks for your attention.

Daz Speech Salad - ANIBLOCKS Talking LipSync System / Conversation generator - Enjoy :)
Took this on as a challenge for myself - to solve my own "I hate animating conversations in DAZ, and the tools available..." problem, I'm rather happy with the results of my 'solution'. Though it's a rather 'simple' approach to it all, it's very effective and fast. I hope it's going to be a great problem solver for a lot of other users too (it's free :)), and even help you pros make your animations even faster. I won't type much as it's all in the video and graphic below, but I AM eager to see what you all think of this.

Viewing Angle Logic?
Is there any way to get an object to become invisible (or flat out not rendered at all) or not depending on the angle from which the currently rendering camera is viewing that object from? Rendering trickey, scripting, anything? I know I could just turn visibility for that object on or off manually as needed, but I'm really hoping for some automation to make life easier for me.
If there isn't a way to do viewing angle stuff like that, is there a way to have certain things get hidden/obscurred by a wall that is otherwise invisible to the camera and anything else that isn't specifically intended to get hidden by that invisible wall? I could use invisible walls like that to fake having a script that hides things based on viewing angle, but obviously only if that's possible.

Moving content to new computer
What are the steps involved in moving my DAZ content and any custom categories I've added.
In the past when I tried this, I lost all of my custom categories and had to spend the next two days re--categorizing. Which is something that should happen seemlessly...
I've already moved over my massive Lightroom collection of photos (close to 3TBs), Lightroom presets, Photoshop presets/brushes, etc and it was a very simple process. No need to re-enter any custom metadata in Lightroom.
I've moved my Vue assests to a new computer in the past, again, it's is very easy. And takes very little time.
Any steps, guides, how tos or FAQ would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to use "The Look" facial morphs - no idea how to access the tool!
Hi,
I just installed The Look Face Morph Resource for Genesis 8.1 Females and opened it up in the smart content panel in Daz. There is nothing in it except "remove all". I spent 20 dollars and I have no idea how to access the tool as shown in the screenshots and there is ZERO documentation and I can't even find it in a Google search - the name is too generic. Please help!
