Screaming In The Rain
(apologies to Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown)
I'm screaming in the rain
Just screaming in the rain
What a horrible feelin'
I'm p*ssed-off again
I'm yelling at clouds
So dark up above
There's hate in my heart
And no room for love
Let the clouds disappear
Just blow out of here
Enough with the rain
I want the sky to be clear
I run down the street
Beat a hasty retreat
Just screamin',
Screamin' in the rain
...excellent. I need to adopt this as my theme song.
...they actually had to move an NFL football match from Buffalo NY to Detroit MI (where they have an indoor stadium) as the stadium in Buffalo is buried under 6' of snow.
not really a complaint but I haven't seen this blue artifact on my renders before. The artifact appears randomly. In this render the artifact is on the back of Genesis' head.
DAZ zips always put Poser and DS content in a folder named Content, to distinguish the files from plug-ins or the like. DIM knows not to include the Content folder. If you are saying that the folder in the zip is instead named dazcontentqa that would be an issue and should be reported.
That's caused by using Deep Shadow Maps. The best fix is to use Ray-traced shadows, but you may be able to avoid it by tweaking the camera angle or reducing the light intensities.

But the existing files are in the proper places...DAZ3D Library/Data... DAZ3D Library/People... etc. DAZ3D Library is what used to be the Content folder. And unfortunately, there are still items that create another Content folder under that. There is not a lot in there, but there is enough for it to prove there's an issue.
Secondly, yes things are being put into a folder named dazcontentqa.

So, KK, is it safe to let the DIM install the new version of DAZ|Studio? I noticed also the Dynamic Cloth Control showed up as an updated item, as well as the Look At My Hair player.
I wonder what other plug-ins are trashed with this update. These certainly can't be the only two.
Dana
I can verify that Reality 2.5 still works in 4.7. :)

Ok, that makes sense. The light sets that Art Collaborations cast deep shadow maps.
My new complaint is that I cannot buy Millie for teen Josie 6. The store gives me an error message about the payment. I wish I took a screenshot of the error message. Here is the screenshot of the check-out page. I'm going to log out and log back in.
edit: not trying to complain about the buggy store; the error is probably my fault because I didn't log in properly.

Those are the data files, so they aren't directly accessible inside the application. Specifically Jen Greenlees is in charge of Content QA for the Platinum Club, so when she converts those older Poser-format products to DS, the data files are put under dazcontentqa.
If you're actually seeing those folders inside DS (as will happen if you have a folder named "Content" inside "My Library", for example), then they won't work properly. If you're finding products that have nested content folders, please submit a tech support ticket to have them fixed. All the products I own have been fixed (Daedalus Peasant for Aiko 3 was the last one fixed, but it has 2 SKU's and the older one hasn't been removed yet, so make sure you install 5227 and not 3983).
And the structure in the zip for Ancient Greek Boats is correct -- the top-level folder named "Content" is just a placeholder for whatever your actual content folder is called, whether it's My Library, My DAZ 3D Library, Content, or whatever. If you install manually, you need to ignore the folder named "Content" and only install what's underneath that folder. That's what DIM does with those zips.
I've been using the DIM since I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Pro. Everything had to be reinstalled anyway, so I thought I'd give it a chance. That's the only installing that's been going on except for a few where I got that Install Failed! message and I was told to install them manually. Some of them I haven't bothered with yet, they're still in the Install tab in the DIM with the Install Failed! message.
Dana
Nice.
What about things like pwToon and pwGhost and various other things that always seemed to need a new version when DS was updated! Anyone?
Dana
...yes I installed it via the DIM and all my plugins show "green".
I do not have the full Dynamic Cloth Control plugin as I cannot afford it so I cannot advise on that.

...refresh the page. that should give you the correct grand total.
Been overcast today but am a little sunburned from UV reflected off the water, looking like an under lit something from a horror B-Movie right now :lol:
Hey looks great, yay for white points ! :)
...apologies for the misunderstanding, The story I am working on involves two of the main characters who, while they may be "adult" in age (according to UK standards in 2060 and even today) they have the appearance of young teens (12 - 13) There is more behind this of course but it would take far more space than offered here to explain and it would spoil a major part of the story to discuss here. I have to walk very fine line in how they are portrayed including manner of dress for though in most of the story they are "legal" adults not only in the UK but most of the NEEC (the European economic community in 2060) they would appear to be underage especially here in the US.
Iz a difficult area for everyone to navigate :)
It's up to 56F here, but most of the country is buried in snow - at least in the Northeast and Midwest. :bug:
Our weather is "warm enough", but "warm enough to have a beer on the bar patio" would be nicer! :coolsmile:
*edit* Reality 4 looks interesting.. will probably get it even if my renders will take foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :blank:
The snow is on our TV news, looking awesome and bleak all at once :)
Saturday morning! :)
But, of course.. COMPLAINTS!
- Woke up at 6:15AM, couldn't get back to sleep
- Rain, rain, rain all weekend
- Want eggs, too lazy to get wet getting brekky :long:
- Looks like a 3 cup of coffee dreary day
- Darn neck still hurts :down:
Non-complaints!
- Lots of super-tasty coffee :cheese:
- Downloading new content while the coffee makes :coolsmile:
- At 11AM, the Mexican place opens up and I can get huevos rancheros!!
- Mexican place is one block away, so won't get too damp :)
Renders in the not too distant future!
I guess I meant eating an apple not setting an apple. How does one set an apple?

Maybe you can re-texture material zones on it? :-S

It's wild to look at.. very otherworldy when it snowed here, could barey see 5 feet.. then everything covered in a blanket of glistening white crystals..
But not so much fun to have to go out in! :ahhh:
Time for more coffee...
Slow render is slow. :smirk: Will post once it's done! :)
Watching a render render whilst grinding coffee beans.. kind of Zen-like.. :coolsmile:
Decorating Tip #14527:
Bricks and planks stolen from construction sites make excellent shelves.
I prefer cinder blocks. They don't topple over as easily as bricks.
Forecast calls for large hail, 4-6 inches of rain, and high winds. I'm staying inside and watching my BP fluctuate wildly. Hit 197/110 at one point last night.
Dang, that's nasty hail! :bug:
But the BP thing is worse.. that's higher than my worst.. Take care of yourself! :red:
Firehorse drop!! :coolsmile:
He's probably right. :blank:
Dana
He's probably right. :blank:
Dana
He's got an attitude.. gets it from his human friend. :blank: :smirk:
You'll see soon.. working on another render.. but slow render is slow.. :down: Using the Spot Render tool a lot lately as IPR on this machine... le sigh.. need a gaming laptop. :long:
Experimenting with different settings on the coffee grinder.. I think I fund my fave, a kind of medium-fine grind.. :)
