• dForce Hair render checklist:
  • 1. Daz Studio must be version 4.11 or later.
  • 2. Nvidia driver is 430.86 or later.
  • 3. dForce Starter Essentials content is installed and up to date.
  • 4. Make sure you haven't currently got a geometry editing tool selected, select the pointer tool (Node Selection Tool) instead and then try to render again.
  • 5. If you are doing viewport renders instead of final (new window or direct to file) renders, apply my “Preview Render On” preset (sets “Viewport Tesselation” 2+ and “PR Preview” on.)
  • 6. System check by loading the free simple mohawk in a new empty scene and test if that renders for you. (Installed with dForce Starter Essentials and found in Content LIbrary > [your library] > People > Genesis 8 Male > Hair > Strand-Based Hair Samples - and also in the Genesis 8 Female folder.)

• Useage Tips:
  • The beads accessories are rigid follow props attached to the scalp, and they can be moved by the translate tool. While auto-follow will match most character head shapes, the beads may require positional adjustment for some shapes. You may also move them to different parts of the hair to your liking.
  • You can easily modify hair colours by selecting your own diffuse colour settings for the hair.
  • After posing, use the style and movement morph dials to match you figure's pose and also ensure fitting.
  • You need at least one light in the scene that will provide the specular highlighting!
