I.e. you need to run it with a different account that is NOT admin/does not have admin privileges -> just a boring standard user

how to use the growing up genesis 8 and 3 package? The options do not work for me ...

In what way is not it working?

Growing Up is just a bunch of morphs and morph presets. If you want to apply a preset to your character, select it in the Scene tab and go to People > Genesis 8 Female > Shapes > Growing Up and select your preset.

If you want to adjust the morphs yourself, go to the parameters tab with your character selected and search for "youth" (or any of the morph names listed on the product page)

If you've just installed it, you'll need to restart Daz before any of the morphs show up.

If nothing is happening when you apply the preset, that could be indicative that you need to restart Daz. If you install morphs while Daz is open, you won't be able to use them until you restart the program.

If you share a screenshot of your content library and viewport, it would be easier to see if you've installed it correctly or not.

Have you imported via Transformer? All the materials look bad tbh.

Yeah, I did.

 

[Lewdpanda95]

Yeah, I did.

I never had them come out like that. Are they fibermesh brows? I attach export and import settings. Maybe they can help you somehow.

Edit: Yeah obviously they are fibermesh brows since regulary they are painted on the face texture. I guess CC3 can't handle fibermesh brows from DAZ.

I already found the solution, install it in my library and not in the DAZ3D program. Thank you very much and apologize for any inconvenience. Also excuse me for the spelling errors, I'm using a translator ... greetings from Argentina.

Anyone know what these Daz log file warnings are and how to debug them? I haven't checked my log since installed G8.1 and today saw hundreds of them like these all referencing either 6777 or 6843:

So it appears that Daz Genesis 8.1 is so new that none of the existing tutorials online cover how to do things. For example, Subsurface Scattering is different on her now. Skin texture diffuse is different. Been hitting my hear against a wall all day on how to lighten up dark eyes, even with Translucency Weight all the way down they are still dark -_-

 

[tripod70]

These are the same model. The one on the left is original and a keeper but I lost the gen's coloring so I was going to rebuild her, and see if the colors came back. The one on the right is the new one that every thing is the same except the skinning and mat coloring, and then came a memory issue. I ran out of memory! Not on the machine, "MINE" for the life of me I can't remember what mat's I used for the on on the left. I do have an excuse though. Bet ya can't guess what it is.
I did figure out the coloring issue on the original on the left. Just delete the gen's and put them back on and color was back.

 

[tripod70]

Is there a way to find out what I used on the model on the left.....

i beleive you can find the saved scene file (with the model saved with the skin you want to rediscover) and open/extract it because it is actually a zip with a different extension. Then the content should be human readable JSON. on here you might be able to find the paths to the images used as the textures. from there, you should be able to look at the names of the directory structure and find out the name of the creator/artist. hopefully that leads you where you need to go.

Thanks I will look into that and see what I find.....

Your message is a few days old so you might have solved this already by now buuuuut....

"dark eyes" happens often when the character model is a long way from the scene origin point. it's a "limitation" (cough BUG cough) of Iray and something to do with floating point (im)precision (according to wise people in the daz official forums).

If your model is located significant distance from origin try moving everything (create a null and parent everything to it, then move the null until the character(s) are close to 0,0,0) and see if that helps.

Wow I didn't know that, thank you for the useful info!
Also I finally broke down and started editing all my textures in Photoshop since its easy to make them darker in DazStudio but not very easy to make them lighter. Fortunately everything being in common jpg format makes this simple rather than .dds

 

[31971207]

What is the right way of playing with eye color? Can I do it in surface tab or it must be done with textures?

I am trying to create eyes like Alexandra Daddario's blue eyes. Do I just adjust the base color of irises in the Surface tab or should I mess with translucency and/or transmitted as well? Looking at the surface tabs it seems eyes are typically white for both base and translucency and slight grey for transmitted.

I changed the .duf to .zip and able to un zip.. There is a ton of stuf there, it will take me a while to sort through it. Thanks
