I used the old cloth system quite a lot before I started using MD. I made most of the clothing in this render just using C4D's cloth:
My Cabbages!
The new cloth system has so far only caused C4D to go absolutely nuts, even if I try to put it on a sphere primitive. X-Particles has a pretty good cloth system you might want to try.
Back in August, losing our ex-stray cat to Saddle Thrombus taught me how life can change in an instant. These past three weeks have certainly reiterated that.
I've just found out that Ash and Pikachu are leaving Pokemon... As much as I like Ash, I'm going to miss Pikachu even more
My father keeps moaning about how tidy the kitchen is. I don't agree with him, but someone has to do it. That kitchen looks better when I go to bed, it's unbelievable the state that it gets into by day. There's just no need for it. Plus, I'm pretty sure my Mum would moan about the state that its in, if she was back on her feet.
I'm tired, but I don't want to sleep... Oh wait... I think I do... Hmm... I wonder if there is anymore food that's out-of-date... Time for another scout around.
Hmm I see; I was hoping you might have had a solution for that dragon wing problem :D
I haven't tried XPcloth just yet, I probably should - might as well get to know the program now that I've got a license. Also, have had xpSticky cause crashes a lot, not sure why (Ofc, older version of Cinema so <shrug>)
Compositing in Resolve has actually been kind of fun.
Using wood dummies for the battle's been kinda funny, but I think in the future for a Final Image I'll put actual characters in their place. Someday :D
Good 'ol Millennium Dragon 2, feels good seeing you in a scene again
I need to get started on learning how to composite soon. I downloaded the non-commercial version of Nuke, but haven't had cause to use it yet. You're on R23, right? I think that still has the old cloth system, so I might be able to help troubleshoot it.
Oh they have a non-commercial version? I hadn't really had much reason to use compositing programs for a long time, which is why I couldn't really justify paying for After Effects. Started using Resolve instead and its been something I've come to enjoy using.
Yeah still mostly on 23. I pop over to the newest sometimes for a Remesher operation or to toy with Pyro a bit, but I'm stubbornly sitting on 23 because I'm like "Aaaah but I'd need to re-learn stuff and recreate my fav layout again and aaaaaa" xD
These were the models I was messing with. The wyvern I got working fine with the Cloth, but the MilWings.. Not so much. As you can see in my earlier images it keeps trying to belt onto the second to last wing finger :o

....Man, I'm actually sad knowing that his dragons have been marked for Clearance... :( I hate when DAZ/Renderosity products disappear, since then they're just...Gone. No matter how much I want something that I never got around to buying or *thought I had but didn't*, it's just impossible. So when I saw those dragons go on Clearance I immediately rushed to get all of the ones I didn't have. Save them from disappearing >:'O
*Edit: Oh and speaking of which, I just noticed one of his dragons in the background in the promo of this set here! https://www.daz3d.com/vrakaros-armor-for-the-minotaur-6
A true Canadian complaint - Polar Vortex! - from Tomorrow through Thursday lows in the -30C range, Highs in the -25C range. warms up to -4C for Christmas, though!
Mods, how would you feel about splitting all the C4D chatter between me and Rezca to a new thread in the C4D forums?
We could just goi and create one right now :P
The Gordig and Rezca Megathread xD
Or take it to Discord, if 'ye have it
Not just a Canadian complaint; it is forcast to engulf much of the United States.
I think I'm gordig on Discord as well, but I haven't used it in a while.
Man, the bridges can't be updated soon enough, because I got morphs working on a G9 (makes more sense to try it with something that can't be bridged) and manually connecting morphs on the main figure to morphs on the attachments is so tedious.
Weather forecast in Raleigh.
Memory Lane: When I was a kid in the '50s and able to appreciate the snow for it's entertainment value, I seem to remember not just a few days with temperatures that low, but these days it's rare. On cold days all the kids in our little village used to walk to the post office building and hang out there until the schoolbus came. Although, the Post-mistress (same age as my mother) would shoo us out on days it wasn't so cold. That Post-mistress was, in her later years, the grande dame of our town. She traveled all over the US attending Postal conferences each year, and had a child who grew up and moved to Japan so she made it there too. Ooh, a smart, world-wise person in our little nowhere farming town.
Back in the middle of the last century, we didn't have postal delivery to the homes in town. All townies had a post office box and walked to the post office to get their mail(yes, people back then used to walk farther than to the end of their driveway). It was a small office with a row of combination dial postoffice boxes and a single teller window. Being at the center of the village all day, she was the person who heard and saw much of what went on in the town, and was who people went to for historical information about the town or its people during the '40s, '50s, '60s & '70s. The lady with the fancy house and interesting items on display. I can't help thinking that it was she, who sparked my initial interest in interesting items to collect and tell stories about. Years later though, it was my partner who really taught me how to recognize quality, and collect things that had a story to be told.
My mother died in '92 at the age of 64.
The Post-mistress died just a couple years ago, in her 90s. It was the end of an era in my life. She was the last of that generation that I knew in our town. The town is much the same now, but the little post office is now staffed by new people with no connection to the town at all. 
Ah, the post office building itself. It used to be the old wooden, green & beige Erie Railroad train station for the town. My grandmother bought the building and in 1960 had it moved two blocks north onto her property, and leased it to the government as a post office. Perfect building for it. It had the ticket/waiting area, and a loading dock at the back. Makes a perfect little post office. Clever woman my grandmother. Although one of my aunts used to say that "She never let a thought interrupt her talking."
Will they ever though? I was hopeful for a while but after another cycle of "Someone comes in, makes a little progress while breaking something else, then vanishes" I've basically given up on believing they'll ever take them anywhere. The only benefits is that they seem to be open source so if anyone with the knowledge feels like taking up the flag and doing it themselves then they can, but that feels equally unlikely.
Today might be the last day I'm confined into my room. Not sure if I'm going to program tomorrow or not?
So I'm not sure how old this thread is. But linux has come a long ways. I'm actually running Daz 4.20 or whatever the newest stable version is on Fedora Core linux v37. It's stable, and works like normal. The only drawbacks are when I upgrade Wine, I have to reboot after doing so. And once in a while, when my nvidia drivers gets upgraded, but my linux kernel does not, then dforce doesn't work. I've only had it happen so far a couple of times and figured it out. And then when you add or change anything material or figure wise (from the left side menu, not the right side menu) the Daz window goes from fullscreen to a quarter sized. I just maximize it again and everything is fine. I haven't figured that one out yet.
...so it still needs to be run through Wine then. AS ot the shrinking vewport, I use dual displays so the Viewport is on one and the menus are on the other. Would Fedora and Wine support that?
Man, this is frustrating. Whether its via an FBX Export or through the "Bridge", a lot of figures like coming in mangled like this. *Edit to add I've tried Collada and it didn't change anything either.
If I reset the pose it fixes the geometry but the joints don't change to reflect that, which is just as problematic.
Ended up having to do it by hand <shrug>
One more step, conerting it to xpCloth and it works.... Mostly xD It binds to the figure fine, but then doesn't follow it. Oop.
I don't usually say it, but I'm so glad that the World Cup is over (I prefer seeing it in the summer). I'm not a huge fan, but least Messi can now retire as a World Cup winner.
I assume stress headaches are going to become more common for me.
I loved that pizza... But it didn't love me.
I really didn't need to see that. Thanks Dr. G**gle
Why can't you just watch the film, instead of talking over it. O_o
Great. My headache is back.
I speed-art'ed a dinosaur from a game I enjoyed. Hour and a half including texturing. I forgot the claws though ahaha~
Yes please
We've taken it to private messages now so that should be it xD
Got a few things from the sale, but wasn't paying attention with one and got an outfit for Genesis 1 when there was a version for Genesis 2 available. I guess it doesn't matter too much though!
Every now and then I find a product that won't install properly within D|S, and need to go to Install Manager for. Was just casually browsing through DS looking for some older products to use, and saw that several (SubDragon Armor, Wizard Traveling Gear) were <!> and couldn't be loaded. No amount of reinstalling or restarting changed anything, but a quick pop over to IM to do it there and it was fine. At least I know that works :D
Still can't get the SubDragon Expansion to work though, got the CF Loaders and LE dragon and everything else, but the Expansion morphs just do not load :/
I'm emotionally exhausted. I got into a big fight it seems with my landlord because I felt like he wanted me to throw everything away. Including my Christmas presents for others.
Sorry to hear that :'(
...you end up living under or with people who seem to be rather unreasonable
...and what was that about being confined to your room all about?
Its cold! - 30C with a windchill of -37C ... should warm up starting Thursay, so there is hope..
