i was able to do a figure but the options at saving do not include anything i can use as the size is barely large enough to see anything of the image if opened in another program such as paint shop pro which i use to create works.

i would like to save as either png or jpeg on transparent bg. it also needs to be the size as the figure i made. what did i do wrong? is there some setting or option i need to use to save the figure at the same size as i show it in daz?

Hi.

When you create a scene in Studio you save the scene. That creates a file that contains the scene setup, in other words, your figure(s), textures, poses etc. It's a Studio file, not an image. To obtain a PNG or othe rimage files you have to render the scene. Of course you need lights in the scene in order to render it. Studio provides a default light but that's just for test renders, you should set up your own lighting. Look in the "Render/Render Settings" menu for the options needed. In the Dimensions section you define how large your PNG file will be. For example, 1280x720 for HD resolution.

In the "Render to" section you can select the file name. Click on "Image file" and then on the button to the right with "...". In the File/Save dialog box you can select the name, location and format (PNG, JPEG etc).

When done, click on "Accept" and the select the menu Render/Render. After the rendering is finished you will have a file on disk in the location that you specified and with the name that you entered.

Good luck.

thank you. i was wondering how to do that. will c/p to my pc for easier reference.

for png that you will use as a tube..ie the doll with no background...besure to set the background to black so there won't be a white line around it in your paint program.

Hello,

I am new to this side of the world, I have been taking training on Paint shop pro.

So far I can't do anything in it, it keeps telling me I have to have a Scenes when I try to bring in people, the scenes folder doesn't have anything in it, thought it came with stuff to get you started it is the free 3 program.

To save downloads from the store where do we save them?

Some of the free stuff says V4 Victoria 4, I have her at 4 to down load but will she work in Daz 3 program?

Some stuff doesn't say what ver. it is for.

Thanks

AlethasFantasy, I'm not sure if you are talking about PSP or Studio. Assuming that it is Studio that you are struggling with, it seems that you are having problems in adding figure to your content library.

I would suggest to become  a bit more familair with Studio by reading the manual and watching some of the introductoty videos posted by DAZ.

The manual is at: 

http://documentation.daz3d.com/studio/DAZ_Studio.htm

The videos are at:

http://www.youtube.com/user/WWWDAZ3DCOM

V4, or Victoria 4 is the fourth generation of the Victoria 3D model by DAZ. The number refers to the figure, not the software. V4 works perfectly fine in DAZ Studion 3. In general most content works for either version 2, 3 or 4 of DAZ Studio.  

When you download a product from DAZ it comes as a compressed (zipped) installer. You usually uncompress the archive and then run the installer, which is a program that install the content. Where you download it is not important, it can be any folder of your choice.

When you run the installer, the program will ask you for a destination where to copy the content. If this is causing difficulties I would suggest to spend some time by becoming familiar with the file system of your computer, being that Mac OS or Windows. It's very hard to be able to use a program like DAZ Studio or Poser without a firm understanding of the file system.

The installer for any content purhcased via DAZ will provide a default destination folder.

Once the content is installed, you should find it inside the Content tab of Studio. From there you will need to become familair with the objects available, like characters, poses, props and materials. The documentation and videos will help you there.

 

Hope this is useful.

Hello,

Yes I was talking about Daz, I know where the files of PSP & all that, from my PSP training.

I am almost done with all the classes in PSP I'm in Animation now a few weeks I shoud Graduate & was linining up Daz to start learning how to make Poster.

I downloaded some of the stuff out of my account in Daz last night, I put some I thought was people in the people file but some wasn't people. lol

I put them in the my Doc. where I found the Daz file that had already been put there, I guess when I downloaded the program.

Thanks for the links & your help, I will start really getting into it in a few weeks, I am just tring to set stuff up so I will be ready.

Most DAZStudio stuff you will want to install to the content folder.  It should take care of that when you click on the installer.  On my computer the path to the content folder is as follows.  C:Program Files (x86)DAZStudiocontent.  Characters like V4 will install inside the runtime folder which is a sub folder of the content folder. When you click on the installer it usually asks if you want to install to DAZStudio or Poser.  Choose DAZStudio, then it will probably present you with a choice of installation paths.  You want to choose the path to the content folder.

 

Here is the first installer screen.

Here is the second installer screen.

Here is the third installer screen.

Content should never be installed to the Program Files folders, these are protected locations in Vista, Windows 7 & and presumably all future Windows.  With the size of harddrives now days it would be advisable too create a partition just for your data.

Thanks for the screen shots that really helps.

I did save some there some I saved to people turned out some wasn't people I guess I should move them. lol

Appreciate the help.
