Yeah I have the context filter selected. The dufs seem to be Gen3/Gen8 versions. Maybe it's just organized that way in the product view and they're expecting you to use some other view that has context.

>>675042
learn how to do it yourself, it's not hard. make a geoshell, turn it off for the face (in paramters), make textures in photoshop based off the base model textures (getting the seams in the right places will take some trial and error). then find a hoodie in the daz shop or on the sites, edit it in daz with the geometry editor to hide/delete all polygons except the sweater... texture it too. tadah.

>>675062
>except the sweater
except the hoodie, I mean.

Seems simple enough, cant wait to butcher the UV unwrap

>>675067
eventually you'll get it right.

FREE-4-SPRING code $15 off in the daz store (no minimum amount needed so you can get things under $15 for free)

>>675067
Yu don't need to unwrap anything
Just take the textures used for the body, tell the geo-shells to use the same UVs and then edit the textures in Photoshop

>>675070
>FREE-4-SPRING
seems its dead already

>>675072
maybe it' account-specific, sorry

>>675077
probably a recent purchase I imagine. I had a few for the whole week of Bridget's release.

I got it too, it's specific to account I believe. Mine came in because I wasn't acquiring anything lately, or so it said on the email.

re: Diffeomorphic, how what is step 5 referring to in blender 2.8?

Save the zip file somewhere on your computer.
In Blender, go to File > User Preferences > Add-ons
Press Install From File... and select the zip file.
Enable the DAZ importer.
>In the Settings panel, set up all DAZ library paths.
In Daz Studio, install the export basic data plug-in, included in the zip file.
Save the Daz scene as a .duf file.
Export basic data with the provided add-on to a .json file with the same name as the .duf file.
In Blender, import the .duf file with Mesh Fitting set to Json file.

nevermind, found it.

>>675191
To add, this definitely works rather well but I'll still have to do some tweaking to the materials. My character came in very red, need to mess with whatever translucency weight translated to in blender.

HAU WOOD YOU RIKE TO MAK WAN MIRRON DORRA??

>>675202
those teeth are pretty atrociously bad

what hair and character is used here? the product is dForce JK Suit by crocodile

Trying to get a hold of Eevee for quick statics and animations.
There are some problems - bump maps appear pixelated, so normal maps are preferable.
Also HDRIs are useless, have to work with lamps.

>>673411
where do all these wannabe Patreon fags publish their crap? On DeviantArt or what ?

>>675214
Why do you say hdris are useless

It depends entirely on your scene

>>675222
They don't cast shadows in Eevee, so it's just a lot of light from everywhere, basically.

>>675226
I was just tossing around hdr last night and for some reason didnt notice that but knew something was off.

>>675218
You can get a ton of publicity on Deviantart by joining groups, so yeah, pretty much

>>675242
I dont understand how such awful things get such large followings of retards throwing their money at it when those same retards can just install and pirate the same content for freeeeeeee.

>>675244
Not everyone has infinite free time.

>>675226
They do cast shadows, but they are not as precise as in cycles, you need to bake the lighting.

You did bake the lighting, right Anon?

>>675245
With the "quality" of some of those guys, you can literally throw together a scene with render in like 15 minutes.

>>675246
plz explain

>>675247
I hate them as much as you, but 15 minutes of work is a long time just to get off.

Shift + a > light probes > irradince volume cache

Scale so the box just surrounds your area you wanna light, if it's a room you wanna make the irr.volume box slightly bigger for example.

Default settings for it will be fine.
Then go and bake the lighting.

>>675252
Will try when time permits, thanks!

>>675212
kinley maybe

What did official daz promo material mean by this?

>>675503
Yes

>>675252
Tried that, but hdri still doesn't cast shadows.

>>675503

why is her face disappearing into his body? is he assimilating her?

>>675734
The true meaning of BLACKED

I'm growing tired of my hair experiments (though I've made strides, it's still not 100%). what other software should I use to simulate realistic hair on my daz models?

>>676150
I guess blender seems kind of easy?

>>676152
can you easily export blender particle hair back to daz if you prefer to render it in iray rather than cycles?

>>676150
I've been looking into this recently myself. I haven't finished any real cool looking hair but Xgen Interactive Grooming in Maya seems to be the best I've found to get quick and nice looking results.

I looked at Fibermesh in zBrush but that seems to need a lot more skill to get good results and you have to export the curves to do anything dynamic.

I did this full tutorial in blender.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVJyGzPJIeQ
It seems you need a lot of tricks and hacks to get what you want in Blender and the result still doesn't look that good on close inspection. This video is years old but Blender didn't add much more to it's hair system.

I've heard good things about houdini but haven't looked at that yet.

>>676182
what did you think were the issues with blender exactly? looks good to me.

Question: do I install DAZ from the launcher or do I pirate it? Am I gonna be able to use stuff like the resources pack in the OP if I install it from the installer or will it bitch at me that I don't own the licenses or whatever?

I've never opened this software so I legitimately don't know.

>>676294
app and all starter essentials are legit free.

>>676294
Go through Daz site for everything, download everything free that's available to you from the install manager with a dummy account and a vpn then you block Daz from the internet and start pirating your content by simply dragging and dropping stuff you download into the Daz library.

So THIS is page 7 with a thread full of piratefags.

>>676294
use the launcher, you will not have any issues and removing individual stuff will be a total bitch if you don't

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
