Problem installing new content
Hello all,
I'm a total newbie with this and this is my first message here :)
Sorry if I ask a stupid question or if this has already been answered, couldn't find it anywhere tho...
Anyway, here's the problem:
I've bought a character from renderosity.com, it's Rosalyn by FWArt, and I'm trying to install her on DAZ Studio 4.5 Pro.
I can't make her work...
This is the file listings in the zip archives i got, pasted into Pastebin.com as it's a lot of files and didn't want to make a huge post.
So...after some digging i saw that the library location is under "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library" so i went ahead and pasted all the contents into "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime"...
Loaded up DAZ 4.5, tried to open up Victoria 4.2, but no new stuffies there, tried to shape her or look under the materials tab but still nothing... So, where should i copy those contents? How to make my DAZ 4.5 recognize it and let me use my new shiny character?
As a side note, here are an extract from the Readme.txt:
- BEGIN OF THE README FILE EXTRACT -
System requirements:
*PC
*Poser 6 or higher (P9/PP2012 or higher for SSS mats)
*DS2 or higher (DS3 or higher for HSS mats)
*Victoria 4.2 and V.4 morphs++
This package has been tested in Poser 7 and up
This package has been tested in DAZ studio 2 and up
This package has been tested on pc
*****************************************************************************************
Installation Instructions:
Please unzip first (e.g. WinZip or another zip-program).
You can
1. unzip the file directly into your main Poser directory.
2. unzip the file on your hard drive and then drag the unzipped folder right into
your main Poser and/or DS directory.
Manually:
All files in the "Pose"-folder go into: Poser/Runtime/Libraries/Pose/...
All files in the "Textures"-folder go into: Poser/Runtime/Textures/...
or for DAZ only users, go into: DAZ 3D/Studio/Content/Runtime/Textures/...
- END OF THE README FILE EXTRACT -
They say to use DS2 or higher (DS3 or higher for something) but, 4.5 is higher than 3, i assume...
Also, I have Victoria 4.2 and V.4 Morphs ++ (which, i assume, are Vic 4.2 and Vic Morphs++...
Under those installation instructions they say to copy the files unter those folders, which i don't have, since they are referring to an older version of DAZ i believe...So I assume that the files would need to go into my content lib as I tried above...
Thanks in advance to any good soul that might come and help me with this and sorry for the huge wall text, but I think I've included all the info i could on the matter...I struggled for hours with this with no result and I really hope that someone can aid me :)
Comments
You first need to load V4.2 into the scene with the morph++ loaded.
From looking at the read me file and where you said you installed it:
Then in the content library (not smart content) go to Poser Formats -> My Daz Library -> Pose -> FWArt -> FW Rosalyn
You should find head and body injection and remove icons there. These will apply the shape to V4.
There should be icons to load the skin, makeup options, tattoos and other things under this directory.
Sweet, it works!
Many thanks Mark! :)
