    Exactly and as I previously mentioned, CPU-rendering worked perfectly in version 4.10.

    How do you have these settings at the bottom of the iray Advanced Settings?

    Totte I installed the first set of content that Daz Studio needs from the DIM then I installed the content I have in my backup with rendoinstall. Saturday morning Genesis8female worked with no problem but after I installed my additional content is when it looks like my earlier post. I even tried to reinstall Genesis 8 female starter again with no help.

    That sounds like you have installed a broken morph, probably from a non DAZ product or freebee. Did you install the "non DAZ" content into it's own Content Library? Best to do that, then you can disable that in DS and if it works, you know what the problem is.

    My settings are exactly as shown in your picture.

    Then it must be something with 10.10. I have an old MacPro2008 (I guess running 10.9), I can probably get it up and running and check in  a few days

    Here is the log-file of my DAZ 4.12.1.117 if it give any clue about the problem (I am not a technical person so that's why it doesn't tells me a much of anything).

    It seems to not even initialize Iray at all, should have this in your log:

    If you go to About Installed Plugins.. (under the Help menu), do you have Iray there at all, and checked?

    Yes, NVIDIA Iray renderer are in that Installed Plugins list and is also selected.

  • TotteTotte Posts: 13,971

    I would recommend having two folders on your content drive, dazcontent and thirdparty, and maybe even a third for freebees as they tend to bug even worse.
    So wipe the content drive and reinstall the content, yes, might solve your issues.

    OK, I really need to check this out, very weird but probbay something utterly stupid being overseen.

    What I have learned in my life, sometimes the answers/solutions might be very tiny and simple (and even quite stupid ;) ) but very hard to find. I don't have any hurry so if you find solution i really appreciate your suggestion and help :) .

    What's happening with Alsoft's DiskWarrior and Apple? I use DW to rebuild the Disk Catalogues. For the latest version of DW, Alsoft says it can recognize APFS disks but it cannot rebuild them. And its been this way for a horrendously long time. That's one of the reasons I stuck with Sierra, waiting for this to be resolved. Does Apple not want to share information about APFS disks with Alsoft? I read something like this about the disagreement Apple has with nVidia: that Apple wants the drivers placed someplace other than nVidia is willing to place them, and Apple does not want to reveal some of its specs concerning the APFS disks. 

    Have you updated DW?

    Oh, yes. And contacted Alsoft's Technical Support.  They have no timeline. I am on a mailing list to be notified of progress.  From their site: 

    1) Apple File System (APFS) disks (typically a macOS 10.14 Mojave or 10.15 Catalina Startup Disk) are recognized but ARE NOT able to be rebuilt by DiskWarrior 5.2. Click here to learn how to identify an APFS disk.

    Ah, ok.
    I still use hfs+ journaled mostly for backwards compability (put the disk into another machine, I have a bunch of MacPro 2008 - 2012 used for different things.

    I was running DS on Mojave without problems UNTIL the latest Public Build. Now it doesn't work. You can load an existing scene but you can't do anything. Two or three minor tweaks to the scene and it crashes every time.

    Hi everyone. First of all i'm french and my english isn't this good, i'm sorry. I'll try to explain my problem but i'm not good with technical terms.

    I was running DS 4.10 without problems until last week, on my new imac with Mojave. I tried to use dforce hair, didn't work, and someone told me to upgrade my DS to 4.12, what I did.

    Since this upgrade, I cannot render anything anymore. Render window appears, render begins but is never done. Sometimes I have to restart whole computer because it crashes. I really don't know what I can do :( 

    I have another older imac with DS on it, I tried to delete my new version of DS and duplicate the old files to the new imac, but don't work (but when DS is open it says I'm back to 4.10). I'm so sad. Could someone maybe help me please? Thank you so much.

    What does the DAZ log file say

  • TotteTotte Posts: 13,971

    What Olatnumk said: DS log.txt would be great. And is that Iray or 3Delight renders?
    There are some bad bugs in 4.12.1.x (release version), I would recommend you contact support to get the 4.12.0.86 files (that version is much more stable, even though the Iray version when using CPU is a little slower.

    I use an mac pro 2010 but since Mac OS X 10.13.6 my card Nvidia Geforce 1080 Ti don't work anymore.

    I want to buy a new Mac Pro 16 heart with Radeon pro Vega II Duo

    Does anyone know if it works well with DAZ3D ? Faster ?

    You probably updated to 4.12.1, ask customer support to get the 4.12.0.86 downloads again, then your 1080 will work. he new MacPro will only work with CPU renders, so it wll be faster than you have right now but much slower thatn you had with the 1080 card.

    Thank you for your replies. I'm sorry I don't know where to find log.txt .  

    I was able to reinstall my 4.10 version. Sadly dforce hair don't work anymore but at least I can render again. I've created an incident ticket last week but i imagine i'm not alone and i got no answer since.

    Thanks again!

    1080 as the 20xx series are not supported by nVidia, and you need to stay at DAZ Studion 4.12.0.86

    The plugin price for DAZ to Maya has been reduced, and there is now a video showing what supposedly happens. Has anyone tried this plugin? Is the promo too good to be true. It says "Auto Convert" for the shaders. And I think Maya is supposed to use Apple's Metal. The big drawback I see is that the plugin does not work with Maya LT, and the usage fee for 1 year of Maya is something like $1600 +. Here's the link for the DAZ to Maya Plugin: https://www.daz3d.com/daz-to-maya

    From the FWIW Department: I installed DS on my new iMac and DIM installed 4.12.1.117. That computer has the latest version of Catalina. I've been using DS on it for a while, and because old habits die hard, I've been automatically using Command-S to save changes to scenes I'd already saved. Haven't had that crash on me.

    I don't have the mettle, patience, or time to wade back through 47 pages of this thread, but in another thread (click here), Richard Haseltine sed:

    Most of the Catalina fixes are in the release version now, it does still have issues with keyboard short-cuts - I thought the current Public Build had a fix for that.

    That was after someone was discussing issues with the release version 4.12.1.117 in that thread, the version I have. So I don't know which "keyboard short-cuts" 4.12.1.117 has issues with, but so far I haven't had any using Cmd-s for saving. Thought I'd mention my results with it in Catalina.
