    Here's a problem that I might call Strange email Accounts:

    For my iCloud, IMAP account in Mail, I have three "people" who could send or receive mail  for whom I did not create accounts. The "people" are letters and numbers like this: pqc2g9 . . . I won't finish it, but I have this for @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com. The numbers and letters are identical for each of these @"X".com email addresses.
    I also have my chosen email address for @me.com, @mac.com, and @icloud.com.
    So, what is going on here? I have scanned for viruses. None show up. I don't know how to erase or delete these people or addresses (or whatever I should call them). If I uncheck "Enable this Account" for just one of those addresses, all of the iCloud addresses are disabled. Is there any danger to letting these accounts remain? 

    Anyone know what's going on?


    I'm using OS 10.15.7, Catalina, on a late 2013 Power Macintosh.

    Hi inquire! Are you using "Sign in with Apple" on your Mac or iPhone/iPads?  Those extra email addresses may be generated by that feature to protect your actual email address (so companies don't spam that one.)

    Not sure if that's the issue or not, though.

  • Totte, First I want to thank you with all the help you gave me through the last year os so. I won't be asking you a Mac question for a while. Moved to a PC. The question I do have is there a program or script to import non smart items into your Daz directory instead of doing it manually

    Well, they are Apple email accounts. I'm using them on my Mac Pro through Mail. I'm not signing on using a web page. Not sure if I understand you.

  • Hi inquire! I don't know what I'm talking about either. :)  I don't use Sign In with Apple, so I'm unsure of how it works.

    Here's an Apple Support article that talks about it, just in case you've used this feature when visiting other websites that use Sign in with Apple.

    Thanks, Lee. But, no, I don't use sign in with Apple.

    Another question about DS 4.15: There was a hanging issue with 4.14 and a script to prevent it from hanging. Is that still necessary? Or, has that issue been corrected in 4.15?

    There was an issue with DS hanging around, not making use of the CPU at all, which could be fixed by  turning off the IPR Toolbar in the Aux Viewport.That is fixed. DS may still take a while to close as it cleans up after itself, however.

    There is a script for launching a new isntance of DS - that is still useful if you want to have more than one version of DS, from the same release channel, running at once.

    I can't get the 4.15 update to install on my Mac.

    It downloads the update through DIM as normal and then stays on 0% in the installation tab.

    Just found this in my DIM today: (see screen shot). I haven't updated to DS 4.15; still running v. 4.12.1.118 on Catalina 10.15.7. I haven't bought Michael 8.1.

    So, with that, I'm wondering, should I download the G 8 Male Expressions, G 8 Male PowerPose Templates, G8 Male Starter Essentials, G8 Female Starter Essentials, G8 Female PowerPose Templates? I already have Genesis 8 Materials. Are these only for G 8.1? Or, should I download these and would they help the G 8.0 figures?

    They are updates, so yes.

    Any character that has been made for G8.1F/G8.1M (starting with Vicky 8.1 & Micheal 8.1) will be using the new PBR Skin Shader which requires Studio 4.15.x & the Default Resources for Daz Studio 4.15

    Thanks, Platnumk. I'm waiting for more reports on how well DS 4.15 runs on Catalina 10.15.7. Do you know?

    I'm also wondering how many have downloaded these new "updates" that appeared in the DIM today, and if they improve the older G 8.0 figures. What, if any, improvements do they provide?

    I've been running 4.15 on Catalina 10.15.7 for some time without to much of a problem.

    G8.1 has a new Facial Rig that make her expressions look more natural, New type of eye materials, & they have split the Eyelashes & Tear into 2 (and of cause the new PRB Skin Material).

    Pros: 98% of your G8 Characters are compatible with G8.1 and it will auto change the UV to 8 when using them

    Cons: To use the new PBR Skin with your old characters will need some work on your end in the surfaces pane, G8 Expressions don't work with G8.1 (tho there is a work around)

    @Platnumk: Thank you very much for the information. OK, maybe I'll try this.

    I did try this. Just experimenting with it. The iRay renders seem faster.

    I posted in the Michael HD 8.1 Forum about DAZ Studio 4.15.0.2 crashing a bit with the new M HD 8.1 figure, and about some problems I'm having with the Facial Rig. I won't repeat because we're not supposed to double-post. If anyone can figure out what's happening, please post.

    Have you tried turning the IK off on the FaceRig

    No, I didn't even think of anything like that. Thanks for the tip. But, today, as I checked the DIM, I see there is a new product update for the G8 Male Expressions. I wonder if that would change anything.

    Oops! Well, I guess I do not know how to do that, either. I couldn't find anything to turn IK off on the FaceRig. The Rig doesn't seem attached to his face. I can move it all over the place. If I open up PowerPose, and select Head/Face, in Face, I can move items around, but slowly. I have watched the video, and iin the video the FaceRig seems to work so smoothly and quickly. Is anyone using Michael 8.1 HD and the FaceRig?

  • PlatnumkPlatnumk Posts: 669

    Select the FaceRig in the scene tab, then right click on the FaceRig in the Viewport and click on Enable IK to disable it

    @Platnumk: Thanks for the info. I've done that. Nope, nothing works. Are you able to use the FaceRig? I wonder why, then, it won't work for me.

    OOPS! Hold on. I am now getting some movement from some of the items in the FaceRig. But it's very slow. The PowerPose option with Head, then Face selected, is a bit faster. But the FaceRig doesn't work anything like it does in the web video.

    Click on the part of the FaceRig you want to move,  Then use the Universal Tool (The Green,Red & Blue Arrows) to move the selected part 

  • inquireinquire Posts: 2,202

    Right. That's what I'm doing, and thanks for the help. But it is very slow. Should it be fast, the way it appears in the web video? Maybe they used a very fast computer when making that video?

  • QUICK QUESTION, GENESIS 8.1 EXPRESSIONS, NONE OF MY DIALS LIKE P3D SOFT EXPRESSIONS ARE WORKING WITH 8.1 EVEN THOUGH THE STORE SAID THEY WOULD. ALSO, I've noticed in the pose disls there are no "mouth open" dials, or "brow inner down" brow inner left down" dials. it seems the dials are limited or some are missing? see attached screen cap

    If the  genesis 8.1 install went wrong, how do I reinstall? I tried uninstalling the essentials update and reinstalling but that isnt working at all, stuck using genesis 8, freezing all future purchases. really getting frustrated. hoping to find some help from this fine community! thanks in adavance!

    Where did the store say they would work? because of the change to FACS the base expressions are not, without unsupported tweaking, working and so any expression pack which uses those is also not working. This has been noted on alal the 8.1 promo material I have seen.

    This seems to be new. This morning when I clicked on the Software Update icon I saw this (screen shot). It says that software updates for this (my) Mac are managed externally. It asks if I want to restore default update settings. It says previous updates will not be removed. Maybe I clicked on something I didn't mean to. I don't know how this happened. But, anyway, shall I click on "restore default update settings"?
