You may have installed it wrong or something funky happened with your library. I just did every method of loading the character/applying the character/applying individual morphs, and it all worked.

Is it just this one character?

Hey man, don't wait on the VA to get you the therapy tools you need. I've been using psilocybin containing mushrooms for PTSD for a long time. You don't need your shrink's permission. You just inform your psychiatrist what you're taking, the dosages, and what you should be doing in conjunction with that.

My shrink mentioned that he kind of wished it was legal to prescribe it to me.Damn shame. Wink wink. But if I happened to get my hands on it, here's how to use it for PTSD therapy. But he's not officially endorsing it, because drugs are bad.

Honestly, doing stuff yourself while seeing a shrink is the best way of dealing with the VA.

The internet is kind of a shitty place to have an argument anyway. There's no sense of tone or inflection. Something that can be meant in a humorous smart ass way can be taken as a genuine attack.

Pro tip: Try reading something you're posting in a different tone of voice than what's in your head. If it sounds mean, someone's going to take it that way. Everyone be cool to each other.

Yeah, I've talked to one person a while back who I'm pretty sure is legit.

This one seemed less legitimate as they had almost zero history on this site.

Still, I'm not a fan of the idea. If people don't share, or there's a barrier to entry, this site stops being useful.

[aslag]

I'm not saying one way or the other. I'm just saying there are reasons. Never attribute to malice and all that.

I LOVE Hivewire stuff. Jesus Christ. How long has it been since mildog was introduced? AM does good things, but his morphs aren't exactly comprehensive.

I've been waiting for a new dog.

Hey @mysticfortune

The reasoning might be that someone just didn't want to share something from a specific artist. I don't particularly like sharing things from my favorite artists because that means at least one other person will pay a full price on it before it gets popped on this site.

Now I've done that before when the content had been out for a while and the product pops up in a request thread, but I wasn't going to be running to this site immediately.

Sort of a weird ethical code, but it works for me.

You know what bugs me, "literally" has been misused so often that it's led to a change in the English language.

In the dictionary, due to common usage, "literally" is now an antonym of itself.

[aslag]

Kind of of topic, how do you @ someone? I seem to be screwing that up.

[aslag]

Oh crap. I'm going by content library. Disregard what I said, Dragon.

[aslag]

Oh, it'll be under shader presets\iray\DAZ Uber

Not shaders. That's a whole different thing.

[aslag]

Hey dragon, give us a few screen shots of what you're trying to do. That might help.

Hey, a fellow shutter bug. I used to make my living doing that.

Everyone says that a knowledge of photography is essential for Daz. I find it's the opposite. If you have a knowledge of photography, you have to unlearn a lot of things to make daz work for you.

What I do is take accurate notes. What I did, what the results were, etc. It sort of lets me dial in close to where I want to be within a few test renders.

Also, you're not the only one who has a lighting problem. "Ok this worked in the real world, let me see... Oh for fucks sake!"

@Rob Dude, would love to share a beer with you.

I don't know, I was once in Texas from late summer to the beginning of winter. Froze my ass off.

Funny story about Texas. I did my initial medic training in San Antonio. Then we got bussed to some camp for our field training. During a patrol, a tumbleweed rolled past me. I looked at my buddy and said "What the fuck was that thing?"

He goes "It was a tumbleweed", looking at me like I was a special child(he was from Texas).

I said "Wait those things are real? I thought they were only in cartoons".

I'm smart in the classroom, and dumb on the school bus sometimes.

Well, my city just froze over, so I might as well crack open a cold one and pull up a chair.

I'm Aslag. I was a photographer before the war. After 9/11 I sold my business and joined the army. I had a great career. Saw some rough shit, but I enjoyed it over all. I had a training accident in '07 that left me crippled. I was in a wheelchair, but I managed to work my way up to a cane. I get to park where ever I want, so I count it as a win.

Daz allowed me to sort of get back into creative stuff. It's a bit hard to take pictures when I'm the tripod, but I can work a computer. I'm in the medical field, but I find having a creative outlet helps me be more well adjusted. Well, that and shrooms, but that's neither here nor there.

So greetings to all of you fine people. I hope you guys are warmer than I am.

Edit, Also, to Sparklepants, I'm with you on the keyboard to face technique of working Daz Studio.
