Renderotica

Meipe:

I had the idea to use your Dickator as a necklace pendant. It works fantastic. However after I save the pendant as a DAZ scene file it crashes when I try to reopen it. Importing also crashes DAZ. Using DAZ 4.20.

I create the pendant by choosing Dicktator without any figures in a blank scene. Then I create a sphere which I place at the base of the Dicktator model. I then assign materials and group the sphere and Dicktator together. That's it. I then save the file.

However I cannot merge the pendant into a scene with figures because it crashes DAZ. I also cannot open the saved pendant file - DAZ crashes.

I guess I can create the pendant and then convert it to a prop. But I like having options to change erections, poses etc. Any idea how to get this to work? Here is a render I did. This 3d files cannot be opened. Fortunately I saved another version just prior to creating the Dicktator pendant. I can upload the DUF file if needed.

Maybe DS is looking for bones that might be connected to a morph or a related hidden JCM?

Nope I did not convert the figure to a prop.

Actually I was able to recover two scenes that crashed DAZ. I renamed the .duf files to .zip, uncompressed the files and then edited them with notepad ++. 

I then searched for "Testicle Displacement Morph" and changed the value to zero. I also searched for "Scrotum Adjust" and changed that to zero. But I think the main issue was the "Testicle Displacement Morph" being more than zero. I saved both files, rename them to a .duf extension and they are both opening up now. The one had an unparented dicktator as a necklace pendant and the other one was a dicktator anatomoy loaded on a G8M figure.

There is something in your Dicktator Cage "Testicle Displacement Morph" adjustment that's making it crash with DAZ. Maybe I have other addons loaded that causes a conflict. Either way I am glad I figured out what the problem was. I have quite a few files that I could not load in DAZ anymore that I can probably recover now.
