Renderotica

Hello : )

I've done some tests. Yes, the problem is real. And even if I use the G3F default gens, I still have the same problem.
My solution is to add a new Surface for the character, and make it transparent. Then assign the polygon needs to be hidden to this Surface in the Geometry Editor.

Hi Minxies,

If I'm not mistaken, we could not delete any polygon in Daz Studio.
We can only hide them with the Geometry Editor or the hiding surface.

So I don't quite understand what you mean.
Could you please explain your needs in detail?

Hi 3feetwolf,

Thanks for outlining that.

That's my understanding too, they don't get deleted in Daz studio only hidden, but it becomes an issue when you'd like to export the characters as an OBJ or FBX for use in an external rendered.

It would be nice to be able to hide (and subsequently deleted on OBJ and FBX export) upstream in Daz Studio, as opposed to our current workflow which is downstream, in Maya :/

Best,

I see, thank you for the explanation :)

Do you use zbrush? If so, I think maybe the following workaround can solve your problem.

After adding the gens to your character, select the polygons you want to remove. Create new face group from the selected polygons in Geometry Editor, and then export this character. Open zbrush, import and edit the character. Press Shift + f, you will find that the color of the polygons you want to remove are different from the color of the surrounding polygon. Hold down Ctrl + Shift, then left-click on these polygons, you will see that they are shown lonely. Hold dwon Ctrl + Shift again, click and drag the left mouse button in the blank of the view. Now you'll see these polygons are hidden, and the other polygons appear again. At this time, you just need to export this character again, and then import it into maya, you will see those hidden polygons no longer exist.

Thank you for the new morph, 3feetwolf, I will thoroughly test the heck out of it and let you know how it goes :)

Thanks for explaining that, I didn't know there was as default gens.

I've just tested against it and you're completely right. Very sorry, I'll raise it with Daz.

Thanks so much for your help.

Aaannnnnnd Tween Julie is out.

I wouldn't get too excited. Since Tween Julie is an underage character, I doubt she'll get an NGV7 update.

Very well, young 'Roticwan, continue with your ritual. May the Forceful Thrusting be with you.

Hello,

I think this problem is caused by the parameters of displacement map.
Because all the vertices of the gens prop were moved, this was the effect of the displacement map.
The following are my personal views. Please correct me if I am wrong.
There are two displacement parameters in Iray Uber Shader, Minimum Displacement and Maximum Displacement.
If the value of these two parameters are not equal, then you will see the same problem in the render result.
So I guess Octane renderer has similar parameters too.
Adjust these parameters can eliminate the incorrect vertex displacement.

I hope my answer can help you.
