Daz3d cannot generate .bake files

AuggieSays

i have been trying to bake maps of the Girl 6 on my mac and i keep getting these messages:

ERROR: 3Delight Process exited abnormally: "/Applications/DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4 64-bit/bin/tdlmake -ushort -bakeres 512 -nomipmap /Users/*******/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/Studio4/temp/Pupils.bake /Users/Shared/My DAZ 3D Library/Runtime/Textures/kalta texture/Pupils.tif"
tdlmake: cannot open input file '/Users/********/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/Studio4/temp/Pupils.bake'
tdlmake: error while making texture file

it has been doing that for nearly everything except for the tongue inner mouth eyelashes and when i checked the temp folder to see the files being mad ei noticed something

d117_EyeReflection.tdl

d109_G6IzabelaTorsoM.tdl

it was only the TDL fils that dont have the daz model's signifiers that were being made,like the computer didn't recognize them.

is it a bug tat made them not generate .bake maps?

Does your user name have any accented or non-Latin characters in it?

AuggieSays

no. it is basically my real name and uses the regular alphabet.

i ran some tests on other models specifically genesis models like akiko and the girl 4 and they worked perfectly.

it seems to dislike genesis 2 models like the girl 6 and the basic characters. which i find weird because isn't that what comes with new versions of daz?

happened in my old version of daz also. daz 4.5 or so when i have daz 4.7

also want to mention that another weird thing happened was that the maps that did export fully came out blocky like a minecraft UV. and i remember when an element cant load properly it comes out as a blocky figure. if i am making sense.

forgot what i did exactly but they started coming out with regular genesis UVs.

would post pictures but i deleted them by now ^^;.
