Subject: Problems saving


lamb ( ) posted Sat, 02 April 2005 at 8:51 PM · edited Fri, 07 February 2025 at 10:44 AM

I am brand new to DAZ. I have the free version. I am using this just to render the body structures so I can do the rest in photoshop. But I can seem to save it as a file that photoshop recognises. I have tried saving as a jpeg as well, but nothing shows up so I don't know what I am doing. Thank you for any help you can give me.

There isn't any way to save a scene in DAZ|Studio that Poser can open. In order to save a scene for postwork in a graphics program, you'll need to render the scene, then use the File>Save last render... command. This gives you the option to save to several different file formats, including .png or .jpg. Alternatively, you can select to save your renders to a file under Render>Render Options. I prefer to see what I'm saving. :)

Ok, when I was working with this yesterday when I tried to change the file to the jpg, I didn't have that option. But I was finally able to save it doing something. But when I did it was all black. I went to the DAZ manuel and did some reading and from the way I understand it is that I have to use the lighting. I didn't cause I thought it looked alright. But in reading I learned about that. I finished with a pretty good headache yesterday, so I layed it down for today, but will try to do this again. Each time I make a little progress so I will carry on. Thank you so much for responding to my question. Lamb

The latest versions of D|S don't require lighting to render (the documentation is terribly outdated, but there aren't any plans to update it until the final release version). A more likely cause for black renders is using the OpenGL render option on a video card that doesn't support it. Try opening Render>Render Options... and sliding the Render Quality slider all the way to the right ("Best quality/Software Render"). This should solve the problem.

Thank you so much, I will try that. Lamb
