Hello , I was wondering if anyone has had problems with the new Daz Mil-Beards for Freak and David and Mike? When I try to load up the beard for D3/M3 or Freak it causes my P5 to crash to the desktop which has never ever happened before, and the mil beards are the only items to cause this. Anyone else have this happen to them or is it just me? Thank you in advance.

You're not alone, I bought the M3 beard a while back only recently got around to installing it Every time I try and load up the beard P5 crashes to the desktop Going to contact DAZ about this later this evening

This sounds similar to the problem P5 has with Yann Hair by Neftis. It seems P5 doesn't particularly like very hi res transmaps on high poly objects, or something to that effect. I think Neftis posted a workaround at her Polymage site, which (IIRC) involves reducing the texture and transmaps to a lower res. Unfortunately, the site is inacessible (to me) at the moment, so I can't verify that.

Thanks yall think I got it figured out. It seems that you cannot load the beard as the 1st object in a scene it kills P5 every time. If I load up David or Freak and THEN the beard it works now. I never would of guessed it was a load order issue.Of course I didnt RTFM ...but found a resolution to the issue at the "Nuts and Bolts" forum at DAZ.

Darn, no invisible man with beard!

It kills PPP also. :( No using it on OTHER figures (ICHIRO) without a hidden M3/D3/Freak in the picture.... This is a bug I'd love to see fixed. What exactly is that beard checking on, anyway?

I load David, then the beard and it still crashes.

I just downloaded the David beard and in the readme (right at the bottom, in nice big letters) it says Product Notes Important!! Do not load beard as the first figure in the scene. Perhaps they have only just started adding this warning.

Well I load M3 then the beard and it crashes straight to desktop All Neftis hair does is slow things to a crawl or locks up P5 when rendering it never totally shuts P5 down
