Hi Daysan, this is posted in the wrong place and that is probably why nobody has helped you, if you post questions in the Daz or Poser forums you'd get help within a few hours.

Generally those are indications that the render hasn't gone on for long enough. When there are reflections or light spots, they're dealt with last in the render engines - if you tell me what render engine you're using, I can give you an example of how to change the settings to solve those.

For example, with Iray, there is a setting "progressive render" and you would have to increase the maximum samples allowed, and the maximum time allowed so that Daz will continue rendering the image until it has dealt with all the sparkles.

Thanks for all the replies.

I'll go with something else instead, like rendering is more fun than watching cute cat videos on YouTube :-)

That's a little cryptic, what do you intend doing to / with them?

I looked under dynamic - I didn't have it there. I also did a general search for the dress and Poser couldn't find it.

Under Tipol I only have Romantic Dress and Clothing Elf in the props section.

I reported it on the Posersoftware site.

I see on the store listing here for Daisy Dress that they say it is included - but I don't have it either and I've installed everything from Poser 11.

I don't think it was included - not sure if that was by accident or design - but you wouldn't find it at this point. Probably would have to ping the Marketplace admins to find out if the store listing is wrong or if it was accidentally left out of the Poser packaging.

Dawn and Dusk were created to work in Poser and Daz - it was an attempt to keep the community together - they didn't really take off as was envisaged.

Poser figures that are weight-mapped in Poser do not work in Daz Studio.

Daz Studio figures that are weight-mapped in Daz Studio do not work in Poser.

Poser and Daz do not read objects the same way - so a lot of static props that will work in one, will not work in the other - they will distort. It happens that people buy props thinking it will work in the "other" and then wanting a refund because it does not.

Because a lot of your textures / materials are procedural and not external - it's not a simple matter to convert from the one to the other. It takes weeks.

Historically, Daz has read Poser files and they've kept some compatibility there because people used to only have "Poser" content. This allows Daz Studio users to buy Poser content if it's setup in a certain way and use it, but Poser has never been able to read Daz Studio files natively.

No, the best Renderosity vendors are not turning up at Daz. There's always been a migration from Renderosity to Daz - but the quality and content of what's available has always been equally good at Renderosity and in some cases better. What Renderosity does is allow more quirky content, new vendors and gives everyone an equal opportunity to try their luck. That's unique and that's something Daz does not do - Daz won't accept a product if they feel it's not going to sell a lot.

There's a market for Poser and Poser content. There's a market for Daz Studio and Daz Studio content. This is not the same market - it's two different markets. Renderosity supports both, and then also Vue, 2D, photoshop etc. Variety is nice.

Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate it.

@EldritchCellar - it was mentioned in a different thread - something about morphs that were broken. It's not personal - it's that Renderosity's forum software is broken - they don't send you follow up notices that people have replied - so those that have posted here, simply don't know there are more posts unless they happen to browse the forums and notice by accident.

I've installed 11.3.816 - I've not noticed any difference - since I didn't have the morphs problem. It does crash every time I try to add a group to a bone in the setup room - I don't know if I'm doing something wrong - most likely - but even so it should give me an error message, not crash every time.

In general I've found 11.3 to be less stable and more prone to crashing - .816 does not fix this.

I answered you in this thread: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2946415 - just click on Exclude Process.

I have no problems with Norton - this is just teething issues on a new feature Norton has introduced.

That is the message I also got. Just click on "exclude process".

The search is somewhat broken in 11.3.740 - in their attempt to fix it they changed it - but they didn't take into consideration that a whole lot of our content are materials in Pose folders (from when stuff had to work in Daz and Poser) and so have the pose extension. Now when you search those folders are shown closed and their content doesn't appear.

Secondly there's a little (i) to indicate that it is still busy indexing and it can pop up quite often. When Poser is doing that - the search won't work and you have to wait until it is finished.

I've had a lot of problems installing 11.3.816 It took a long time from clicking the setup before it started running - minutes. It hung when it was finished and I had to end task it - at that point it popped up the message to say the installation was finished. Then when running it Norton blocked it writing the default scene and I had to tell Norton to allow it through. Now that has not happened before, but this is a new feature that Norton introduced that is giving me problems all over the place - so would be a Norton issue rather than a Poser issue.

But I have had issues with .740 - and Poser crashing and setting up materials not working - so I installed .816 in the hope that it will work better - but if nothing much other than the morph mirroring were fixed, then I guess Poser is going to keep crashing.

Oh, and by the way 11.3.740 changed all the Superfly render settings presets and / or renamed them - that was a bad change.

The default Superfly preset now when you open Poser isn't saved - it's not what the "default" is - and the presets as they previously were - are completely lost unless you had saved them yourself. If you want the default back after applying another preset - you have to go save that yourself (or close Poser and start a new scene.)

There's an icon on material files to indicate they're material files - which is helpful when you do a search so you know what's a prop and what's a material file (except for the content where people put the materials in the Pose folder so it would work in Daz...)

They changed the search feature to apparently be narrower - or so they say. I'm not sure there's really an improvement there - it still needs work. I'm still being frustrated by the auto-complete, completing it to a product I didn't want. They seem to have left more things in folders instead of opening the folders.

I've had more interface issues than before - odd things popping up - like opening Poser and there's a morph window - or working in it and my display switches to something funny.

They put L'Homme in - he has no clothes and no hair ...

I have not used / noticed any other features - well the problem is, I notice things when I need them and then I don't know if they've always been there or it's something new, because until I need them, they're invisible to me anyway.

When you import the prop into Poser - play around with the settings.

The setting: Make Polygon normals consistent can mess up your normals or can sort them out.

The setting: Weld identical vertices can in some cases mess up your model.

If the crease factor / smoothing is set in Poser (under the prop's properties) - this can either help you to make the model look nicer - or harm you by distorting it - it depends on how it was modelled - it will distort the uv mapping as well.

Another option is to import the models in parts into Poser - for example if your platform isn't perfectly flat on the floor, it could be distorted when brought into Poser - and bringing it into Poser in parts will solve that.
