Genesis

in Carrara Discussion

So I don't ever muck around with Genesis characters, but I needed to use one for a specific thing. It appears that Carrara's default Genesis character is a Poser file? From what I've read that won't load (mine doesn't). I checked the Daz store to see if I could get just the base Genesis model, but it doesn't seem to be there for download. Any idea how to load the Genesis figure into Carrara? Thanks

    When I hear "Poser file," I think filename.cr2.   No, your default genesis file should not be loading as a Poser cr2 from a runtime library, even if an icon appears there.  Instead, by default, Genesis should load from ... \People\Genesis. 

     

    I hesitate to comment on installation issues for a variety of reasons.

    See if your Product Library already has it:  https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files#prod_14812

    If not, just "buy" DS or the DSON Importer for Poser -- they're both free and you don't have to actually download them, that will add Genesis Starter Essentials to your Product Library.

    It says that it's part of Carrara 8.5. I have the Genesis icon in Carrara. But when I bring it to the stage it says that it can't load CR2. So, it's like, there's the Poser file adhered to the icon instead of the DUF file.

    It sounds like you have the Poser Companion File installed and are trying to load it from the Poser runtime instead of from the DS content folder.

    you need to load the duf from my library, DAZ studio formats, you can add your library to your browser like you do a runtime 

    you need C8.5 though not C8.1

    not Poser runtime formats, DAZ stufio ones in the choices
