hello everyone
I'm still a noob and trying to figure out how things work, I'm trying to create morphs between 2 charcters and when I use ctrl to seclect 2 characters in daz and hit SEND TO ZBRUSH button, only one character shows up in Zbrush.
How do you guys do such thing? Please let me know if I've done anything wrong during the process.
I can't organise my 3rd-party content fast and simple. I have been unzipping the folders to my main library. But then it is getting confusing, as all content is usually divided into 3 folders (data, People, Runtime), which also have many subfolders. Can't really quickly delete unneeded assets this way. Also, some assets don't seem to get properly loaded and sorted in the Smart Content, but that's probably a creator's mistake. I see an ideal concept for me as having all downloaded and unarchived content in a folder, with each subfolder as a name of a product:
└ 3d assets
├ Gwennili Hair
├ Kratzdistel Chair
etc. I also prefer choosing stuff within the Smart Content pane. Is there a simple way to do this all without spending half day messing with the Content Library and Content DB Editor?
Sorry if something is unclear — this isn't my first lang.
Hey all,
I've always wanted to experiment with motion capture within Daz. The Facemojo plugin has allowed me to create face mocap, which is awesome, but I want to create my own body mocap and apply to G8. I've been using Mixamojo to use mixamo animations and that has been great too, but again, want to create and use my own anims.
I've heard about the Kinect method, but haven't been able to find up to date documentation or tutorials. And I also believe that it doesn't track hand movements which is a shame.
I've heard about Rokoko too, but it's way too expensive for me currently.
Then I've heard about Glycon, which allows you to create mocap with a VR headset. I downloaded a test file and tried using the mixamo plugin to target the animation to G8, but had little success. Glycon can track full body + hands too.
Has anyone tried body mocap in Daz? Glycon sounds like the best option but I'm unsure how to get it working in Daz, or even if I can. Would love to hear you guys' thoughts.
I have seen proposed solutions for this in the forum, but they were for previous versions of Daz Studio... and they don't work.
I have made many good renders with Iray so far and I had never encountered this problem before.
In the attached image you can see obvious jagged edges on rounded objects but not on the rest of the scene.
The outline of the four closest balls are not round as they should, and more obviously in the gradient shades of the yellow ball and cue ball.
Also on the left arm's sleeve.
But I noticed afterwards that it is not only in the Iray render, even in the viewport, with Filament displayed, the problem is visible (though less obviously).
Is there some tweeking I can do to resolve this problem?
Hello, why, newly established, can't change the name
I tried to export model with animation with fbx from DAZ
But after I export it and open in C4D, that's look not the same as DAZ
I'm new in here, someone have a sulution for fix it? Thanks!
In DAZ

Hi guys, is there any easy way to convert G3, G8, even old V4 character's skin shaders into G8.1 PBR Skin Shader?
I have the Ultimate PBRSkin Manager, which is very powerful to modify the skin parameters, but I couldn't find any function to do the conversion.
Any tips? Thanks a lot!
P.S. What's the difference between "Ultimate Iray Skin Manager" and "Ultimate PBRSkin Manager"? Which I should I use? Thanks again.
Hello,
I recently had to do a full uninstall/reinstall of Studio and Central due to an issue in which studio was not launching correctly. Since the reinstall, studio is maxing out at 5.8 of my 8 gigs of GPU memory and subsequently rendering much less quickly. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing which permits Daz Studio from utilizing the full amount of available memory? My CPU is only running at about 30% so i don't think that is the issue.
It's taking about 75% longer to render at this point, which is really killing my timelines.
Thanks in advance for your help :)
I am trying to set up a Distant light from below, but it just shows up as black in the Iray.
I feel like I once saw a thing where I could make a big plane, and make that emit light, as if it was a huge soft box, but now I can't find that setting anywhere. Does anyone have a good suggestion as to how to make a huge bounce light, for example the moon light hitting snow, that then bounces upward? As in the scene I am trying to create reference for, that I have attached.
I've had this problem with at least two other DAZ products, but they were removed and refunded. "The Streets Of Old London" remains a thorn in my side. The advertisement on the store page says "Compatible Software: Daz Studio 4.15," but that is a total lie. It does not work in DAZ. Even if I try only the props and add in other lighting functions this product returns a black render. I've been wrestling with this since March, which resulted in a thread of "tickets" to DAZ. After all of that time, all they've managed to say (as of this month, April) is that it was purchased in December and they won't refund me. FALSE ADVERTISING! They should refund me (small money, actually) and remove this unusable product. If anyone HAS managed to make this product function in DAZ, how did you do it?
I am trying to understand it's function... I mean when I did a sample render on a project i was working on I could see that it rendered things differently in the sence that the pixels came in a differenet way but the quality didn't seem all that much different... but admittedly it was a sample render and kind of small
thanks
Hello to the DAZ community, I am a beginner with DAZ studio. I'm having trouble with character creation. After merging a character with (Merge fitted figures geometry) my concern is that after that the characters lose their shape apply and when I put the shape back, the clothes get mixed up with the character.
I emphasize that I do the merge in order to be able to apply different poses in the Unreal Engine 4 software.
Hello forum users! Can you please tell me if it is possible to convert or transfer the head and body morphs of a character from Xnalara XPS to DAZ Studio?
I explain what I want to do: I selected a character in XPS, removed everything except the head (I only need its morph) and exported it to OBJ. I uploaded this OBJ to DAZ and I need to transform this face into a head morph. This is real?
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?

Hello members of the forum! Can you please tell me if it is possible to convert character heads from OBJ to DAZ Studio?
I explain what I want to do: I selected a 3D model of a character from the game, deleted all body parts except the head (I only need the head morph) and exported the head to OBJ. I have uploaded this OBJ to DAZ and I need to convert the OBJ face to head morph. This can be done?
First; I wanted to thank those of you that told me what DAZ (and Stonemason?) could not, for some reason. Thanks for telling me that all I had to do to fix Old London Streets was to delete the skydome that came with it. That worked. Will the same thing work for Harpsburg? Unfortunately, DAZ gave up on both of these. They refunded my 2.00 and change on Harpsburg, when I really wanted to have a workaround. Like "Old London" the product page said it works on DAZ Studios, which is false advertising on the face of it. If so, then how do I make it work? You folks told me about the skydome. It's too late for Harpsburg, but I do want to know If deleting the skydome will would have worked on that as well. THE TRAGEDY is that I waited many months for Harpsburg to go on sale, based on the product page advertising. Then I sent a ticket in to find out why I got black renders, regardless of what I did. Please tell me. Would I have been able to KEEP Harpsburg? Did DAZ dangle a carrot in front of my face and then pull it away once I bit?
I revisited Thursday's Child teddy bear and found that the prop item doesn't exist now. Why? I have many modifications for it, but cannot place the bear. Any advice?
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
Hello!
I just bought Cloudscape Creator Bundle, with all the content and I am trying to render a sky, but it looks like the clouds are rendering black, has no light, ni shadow, no texture, anything. Anyone had this problem before?
Please let me know, I hope there's a way to fix this.
Thank you very much!
