Part 1: User Interface and Custom UI | Daz Masterclass | Intro

Let’s start with a grand tour of the user interface. I’ll show you how to make it your own, declutter and swap things around a little bit, and touch on many usability features. I’ll also talk about the interface style options, toolbars, and my philosophy of setting it up the way I do.

Create your own renders and animations

It is amazing, I have been with DAZ since the first week it became free. I left poser as I could not figure it out and gave up.
I am relearning all the basics of DAZ that I had totally forgotten. IT ID GREAT

Well done ! Familiarizing myself with the interface is so satisfying and reassuring for the future.

Excellent as always Jay, thank you. For Blender users you can set the orbit and pan under window - workspace - customize at the bottom View Controls. For a more homogeneous work flow.

As someone that has been struggling to read text due to the small font learning about the styles, City Street in particular is much better. I had to mess about with the colors a lot though as they are far to bright by default. They still aren't perfect either as some options control both background sections and text and the custom styling options in general seem half finished.

Thanks for the introduction to Daz. I downloaded all 4.3 Mb of it (excluding combat stuff) which slowed my PC down considerably. I spent a lot of money on some lovely characters, which it turns out are 'Genesis 9'. These are not compatible with anything. I tried using the 'Genesis 8' characters, but when I attach G8 clothing a message pops up saying 'not supported' I also keep getting error messages. So basically I have given up and will uninstall Daz from my PC.

Hello Jay I've just started your masterclass but where do you get all those characters from? Mine is empty when i click on figures

Thank you! Is there any way to make all the text larger?

Fit screen doesn't work properly on my second monitor.
Maybe because my main is a 32' 1440p and my second is a 32' 1080p
It tries to fit to the main screen size, usually taking the part that I can drag off the screen, softlocking itself out there. Had to load a Layout to fix it.
Just a heads up, might be better to just fit manually.

Sir, a few months back I decided to go newer and so I removed and tried to install 4, 21. I don't know what I did but I have no characters or poses. I only use one pose at a time and always a male with no background. What should I do ? Start all over? Also, I don't want to pay for anything! Thanks!
