49:19 Anyone know how to create a hair cap?

Random question, I've recently started to dabble in animation inside of Daz. Everything went good until I realized that the lighting would flicker at certain points inside the animation image series I created. Any experience with that?

This is a great tutorial. You show more than some other tutorials that I have found. It helps a lot.

Ghost lights have changed in the newer version of DAZ. It still can be done, but the older techniques don't work anymore.

Thank you yeah my character’s lips look crazy and needed to edit them lol

Great tutorial Parmy. To get a 'wet hair' effect. In Blender apply the shrinkwrap modifier to the hair, offset to .005m and target it to your character. Back in DAZ, apply a tiny bit of metallic flake to your wet hair.

Ive fllowed all these steps and I got this message when trying to apply the morph using Morph Loader Pro: "Warning: Geometry did not match, failed to create morph." EDIT: I forgot exporting the figure at base resolution.

Good to see you back Parmy!

Black and white just using lights - what magic is this?

Nicely explained rigging process! I have seen some of your tutorials and found them very helpful. Many thanks for all the effort and the support! By the way.. how would you rig a cupboard with a drawer? I have a prop where one piece of geometry slides onto the base of the prop.. -And until know I didn't find out how to do this 🙂 If I will find out by myself I will make a tutorial

Any comment on the approach below of using detailed Sculpting, Baked to high-strength Normal Maps, to *_simulate_* HD Morphs? The video discusses Character Creator 4, but in theory, should it work? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZrPlWymfNd5hKc

I wish I'd known that too many installed models in a DAZ Studio library would slow down the product immensely. Keep the number of models you install in your DAZ Studio library down to just what you need as you need them, rather than installing everything just because you bought it.

For the most part, shadow type is for 3Delight. It is how you get shadows in that render engine. I have noticed that it doesn't do anything in IRay. In 3Delight, if it is not selected to cast shadows, the light will shine through the object and not be affected by anything in its way.

I don't have the money to donate, but I do enjoy the videos you have uploaded here. The main thing that I have learned about DAZ is that you are always learning. I have been using it for 11 years and always find new things about it.

I would be very surprised if hiding limbs already covered by clothing does much for Daz rendering time or memory usage. It would point to a serious flaw in Daz in my opinion. And you're hammering on that your time is so valuable, but hiding and later un-hiding all these bones of all these characters takes a tremendous amount of time so I'm not sure it pays off at all... And In my much older Daz version with Genesis 3 characters interactive update was already set to "Off". But, that is a very nice tip to know nonetheless. Thanks!

Nice tip on interactive. I'll be doing that from on.

I thought hiding geometry in DAZ doesn't save memory. Only actually removing the item frorm the scene does that. That's what I was told since version 1 of DS. Has something changed, or was I mistaken all along?

I dont have Interactive update?? Version 4.23 your Tips are not for all Versions😰

Awsome tips! but you need to work on getting to the point. way too much waffle.

Great tips! Thanks Parmy🙂

You realize youtube counts as social media too, yes?

Two years later and I am doing all my poses manually. One extra tip, press SPACE to apply a pin. Easy peasy.

I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them! In my case, I went the NSFW route; created my own AVN, and have been quite successful with it. The best part is that I can craft my own story while incorporating adult elements in it. The focus isn’t on the adult content, but it is there for those who want it. For me, it was either that or go back to the dreaded 9-to-5 office job.

I always enjoy your videos. They are so encouraging even for me. And I really enjoyed your book too!

so when i click the New strand based hair all it didnt send me to that option

What I wondered <<forever>> is what my possibilities are to move/correct the location of a prop or figure that has been (imho) mis-categorized. Say, for example, I have a vendor Xyz that sells clothes for G8F. But as bonus feature he bundles poses to highlight the versatility of the clothes. But he put them in a subfolder of Clothes instead of Poses. So I have: My Library\People\G8F\Clothes\Xyz\Kimono\Poses\. But I dislike that, and I would prefer to have those poses in My Library\People\G8F\Poses\Xyz\Kimono\. Can I accomplish that? I get lost all the time searching for things!

You managed to teach me in half an hour what the documentation and howtos of two commercial products plus YEARS of trial and error and countless nights filled with frustration failed to accomplish. Mind=blown. Thank you so much. So very much.

Have you considered going the Webcomics route? It may seem counter-intuitive to upload pages for free and then expect to be able to sell books, but that's the way a lot of creators ahve found to get their stories in front of their audience.

It is great to see you deciding to enjoy your life. Your current videos have helped me understand a few things that I didn't know about IRay. When I started there was no IRay, only 3Delight. While a few of the tricks I knew worked others did not. I almost quit. But if I quit, who would tell the story that I want to tell? It is great that you chose to tell the story that you want told. There is always an audience. It might be a little while, but your audience will find you.

Possibly the best DAZ tutorial I've ever seen. I REALLY appreciate the way that you go through each step of the process explaining WHY you're doing each thing and how you have to change values and settings to achieve the final effect. You've changed my whole DAZ game. Thank you !

Most 3D comic writers seem to use either DAZ or Poser. I have plans for making my own comics. I have been using DAZ for 11 years now. I'm still learning new things. I started back before IRay. IRay has made a few things easier.

Still better than apple i think, buy the phone and buy the apps and buy the app addons.

Wow! I've been using Daz Studio as a PASS for so long, I didn't know about this feature since then! My sincere thanks for creating this tutorial. :)

IES lights are designed to be applied to planes, as their three-dimensional light projection is built-in and not determined by the orientation or size of your object. I use a simple 1x1 plane in D|S, apply my .ies profile, and then position the plane always facing down (these profiles are designed for indoor lighting, after all). In other render engines, applying an .ies file to an object with more than one normal, such as a sphere, can cause the profile to be applied to every normal and create crazy effects, so it's best to stick with a plane.

My saved image went to; My library/Presets/Materials, not to, smart content, not that it's a problem, just curious how yours went to smart content?

is it the same of mesh grabber?

On the sample i'm using theres no just skin, it's skin for each part and when I change the strength nothing happens?

You deserve a lot more subscribers, I'm on part 2 so far, but you are pretty in depth, but not so where we feel overwhelmed. Thank you, I hope there's many more from your site. SUBBED.

Help ! Is there a way to return Daz Studio to default , out of the box, layout ? I've messed mine up to where i'm lost in wonderland.

no me ha funcionado me da un error es posible q el error se deba a q estiro demaciado el cabello

Can you change eyes or lips separately? Give someone a squint for instance. Facegen seems to eve everyone even upper and lower lips.

Hmmm. I like your videos in general but: The tattoo on the chest is not very convincing and looks more like a painted picture and the one on the arm is too far back, i.e. it urgently needs to be moved...

5:20 should my camera be inside or outside of the huge cube. Edit: Nevermind

🥰Thankyou

Question, I'm trying to apply body-hair to a character, and said character wears armbands, when I apply the hair to the body, it is also applied to the arms so you see hairs poke through the armbands i have on her, I tried to use Geometry Editor to hide the Polygons and it did work, except after i saved and reloaded the file the next day, the hair was back. Hiding Polygons apparently does not save, how do i resolve this?

Thank you very much for that tutorial and the presentation of UltraScatter. I learnt a lot.

Thank You.
