Just updated my Graphics Card

Thought I would post a thought on the RTX 3060 12gig Graphics Card I just got installed. It has improved my render time to no end! My system is quite old. The motherboard is Asrock X99 Extreme 4 with 64 gigs DDR4 RAM on a Widows Professional 64 Bit O/S.Intel early generation i7-5820K CPU@ 3.30GHZ. I rendered two Genesis 8 figures plus hair, limited clothes, and props over 40 frame image files at 1700X1200. It took less than 2 hours. I can imagine how fast rendering would be with an updated motherboard, latest generation Intel i9 processor, and RTX 3080-90! I can but dream with the cost! Cheers

Does anyone have any idea what clothing set this is? I've tried looking at all the G8 and 8.1 clothing under sci-fi and fantasy but don't see anything that matches. Thanks!

Q: DS4 temp & cache location

My render crashed near the end (of course) and I think my C drive (ssd) may have run out of storage.

I am planning on changing the temp & cache locations to my D drive (hd) which has more space.

Q: Could this be an issue having the this on a separate drive and the temp reading/writing at a different speed (slower).

SSDs are getting cheaper but sadly not that cheap;)

LOST & FOUND is driving me mad!

I've spent sooo much time resorting products out of the Lost &Found into proper categories, but then DAZ throws things back into it willy nillie just to make us all crazy. Today, I'm discovering they did it again, and it's getting worse as the day progresses! After spending a s--t ton of money on this program you'd think they would make this process easier since they obviously LOVE the L&F and will keep torturing us with this. Why do they have it at all? Their product is either installed or it's not. If they can't fix this then they should get rid of it. As it is now I'm going to cut WAY BACK on my purchases until they either fix the L&F or get rid of it. If they never fix it then I'll be spending a LOT less on DAZ. I guess that's a good thing. Why should I make my sorting torture worse with MORE PRODUCT? You tell me. Are any of you as angry and frustrated as I am?! Sound off. Tell me how you cope with it or don't. I've suggested MANY times that they give us a designated window we can drag and drop from, keeping the Smart Content window open and a designated L&F window. Apparently that's simply being ignored. We need more people to suggest this.

I'm sure its in here somewhere, but darned if I can find it! Can anyone suggest an "Aura effect" , a glowing field or some such, that would be able to be applied to either of the G8 series characters?

Has anyone experoienced this and if so, how do I fix it?

Copy, paste and duplicate...

April 23, 2021, 9:56 pm

I would like to learn some basics. 
Copy and paste. 
Duplicate. 
Group. 
Using page layout or vector software copy and paste is pretty straightforward. 
So far in DazStudio I can copy and I can paste yet nothing new appears in the scene? 
Would have guessed they are overlapping yet could not find the new instance? 
 

Duplicate? Is there a way to duplicate an object. Object might not be the correct word. 
How about a sphere that you have set the surface setting like diffuse and opacity. 
Can I duplicate that or copy and paste it? 
Would that be considered geometry or something else? 

Seems like a dumb question, yet nothing happened (I could tell) with paste. 

The question is meant to be simple. You have a sphere you like but need ten of the same. 


Group. Is that called parent and child? 

If you have a bunch of objects can you duplicate them? 
If that is in the user guide let me know. Did not see it.

I have purchased product that has been removed from the store and now the listed product in DAZ has slowly being removed. First it was missing textures, yesterday items began to disappear. I use this product alot so how can I get it reinstalled? I know this has been discussed before but I was unable to search for the topic in the forums.

The product in question is "The Chamber of Sorrows".

WHen I launched Daz Central today, it automatically updated DazStudio. However, after installation was complete, I tried to launch DazStudio, and it just kept crashing. Is DazStudio not compatible with Mac OS Big Sur, yet?

Thanks in advance.

Hovering cursor over a group creates a yellow blot-out

I've been using Daz for a few years and have had mostly good experiences, but it seems that since the last update or so I have a problem with how the content is displayed. On any scene I'm working on, when I hover my cursor anywhere over either the main Viewport or the Aux Viewport whatever object group it is over turns into an annoying yellow silhouette. If it happens to be over terrain or atmosphere it can obscure almost the whole image. I'm the type of person who will troubleshoot for hours to solve software issues but this is making DAZ unusable. Cant find any setting that might be the cause. I've been using Octane Render for about a year and this wasn't an issue. I've got a feeling it's something really dumb but I cant find it! What am I missing here?

The Complete Guide to DAZ Studio 4 by Paolo Ciccone

This book was published in 2013 and 350 pages long and claims to be comprehensive, although it's obviously dated. Never the less, it's the most recent volume I can find. Is any one familiar with it? Can someone please give me a frank review, favourable or otherwise? I really would like to develop competence with DAZ Studio and I'm working in the dark. Thanks to all.

Custom Property Question

April 24, 2021, 2:39 pm

Does anyone know if its possible to control the visbility of a surface through a custom property rather than through a material preset.    For example I have a jacket with both arms assigned to a seperate surface.   I could use a material preset to control the opacity of the jacket arms, switching between sleeved and sleevless but to do that I have to navigate back to the content library, find the jacket and the correct preset.   

I more elegate solution would be to control it via a property.    I think I can do this by turning bone visibility on and off but wondered if it was possible to do it on the surface itself as the surface and the bones don't line up satisfactorily.

Bug: Keyframe paste ignores some morphs

Copy / pasting keyframes in the timeline ignores random morphs. No way to tell which ones are missed, thus an impossibility to consistently copy figure states.

dForce collision not working

April 25, 2021, 1:44 am

I have a dForce object (specifically, a dforce slime puddle prop from "dForce Slime and Goo" which can be found here:https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-slime-and-goo), which I've set to be a dynamic surface for a simulation. I also have a genesis 8 female character which has the slime puddle set as it's collision object. The character is suspended above the puddle at the first frame of the simulation, and is lowered into it so that by the last frame, she is waist deep in the puddle. The slime should deform around her as she makes contact with it, however, it doesn't; it stays perfectly still after the simulation, and I've tried the simulation on all three collision modes with the same result. I did a project identical to this (with a different character, however), and it worked just as intended, but now, the character and the slime puddle aren't interacting at all like they should. To be clear, the G8F character has the puddle set as its collision object, and the puddle is set as a dynamic surface, and I've tried running the simulation on all three different collision modes. What could I be missing here?

Nice to meet you.
The clothes I bought didn't have a tie, so I made one and put it on with a transfer, but it shifts when I pose it. What steps do I need to take to get it to follow?

For some reason, I keep getting fatal errors occurring when I am using Daz Studio, and I don't know what is causing it to occur. Is there any way to find out what is causing the error and to get rid of whatever is causing the error to occur?
