Confused by download options.

chatles

I'm confused by all the options I see when downloading addons. Some are marked DS, some Ps, some StudioCF, and some are legacy. I have DAZ 4.6 and I have Poser 2012. Which files do I need and Which are not needed, if any.

Thamks,

Your best option is to use DAZ3D Install Manager (DIM) -- you can specify the programs you use and it will only show the relevant downloads for those programs.

Otherwise, the DIM versions on the download page are zip files which you can extract manually if you prefer; the exe's are Windows installers, and the zip/sit files matching them are the Mac installers.

If there is a DS version and a PS version, use the DS for DS and the PS for Poser. You can ignore the Legacy versions.

If there is a StudioCF version, that has DS material presets to apply to the Poser version -- you'll need both. Similarly, if there is a PoserCF version, you need the DS version as well to use the DSON Importer for Poser.

What exactly IS a legacy version?

Legacy is for versions prior to DS 4.5

Thanks for the reply. Cleared that up nicely for me.
