    I use Smart Contnt, but normally go in through Products and so don't really care how the individual files are defined as long as they are defined in metadata so they show up there.

  • I have been making more use of Smart Content recently, and even creating my own metadata - the benefits of having to reinstall after the old content drive was starting to become corrupt.

    I also use smart content alot, and like Richard, I create my own metadata. If you understand xml, it is not that hard. Smart content is particularly useful for poses, materials and shaders.

    I myself don't use smart content and I just for fun looked how it looks like. I didn't quite get it how it works XD.
    My products, the environments and the instruments are put together in a way they work easily withing the normal Content Library (a picture attached).
    I'd like to know, if You usually use Smart Content or Content Library, to optimize my workflow.

     

    When I'm adding figures, objects or scenery items to my render I usually use Smart Content to browse through my catalog of items (by category) and then use the "Show Asset in -> Content Library -> Products" to see all the items that were part of that product.  If I know the name of a product, I'm finding myself more often using the content library directly.  

    I still use Smart Content all the time to change material options for a product and to see what hair or clothing is available for a figure.  I did notice that the colloseum doesn't show up under the "Environments" in Smart Content.  When I first downloaded the Colosseum, I was expecting it to be under "Environments -> Architecture -> Exterior" but eventually found it under "Scenes".

    The annual Huge Evil Monster Slayer of the Year contest is one of the highlights of the Sirenopolis  social calendar.  Here, in one of the most popular events from this year’s mayhem, Archmage Serena of the sisterhood of the Future Mages is about to put the warlock Hoffmeyer’s death stalkers on the endangered species list.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Omg! The crowd is going to get entertained for sure! I know I am :)

    On that note, I’m thinking about making some kind of an update or a freebie add-on billboards for the ”ring side” seats too.

    That would be great, as they look kind of strange sitting empty in everyones renders. 

    Of course anyone in those seats would be the first to be eaten by the kind of monsters we see above.

    'Those are the cheapest seats in the house. Nobody ever takes them'

    DAZ studio is being a PITA freezing when I try and delete the quarters to leave only one

    I suspect it's yet another lovely glitch in the public build angry not the set

    as it is simply quarter 4 instance that it is hanging on for eternity so no actual mesh, 

    I have not the patience to set up a quarter with all the torches and statues, stairways etc from scratch!

    I cannot just hide it as ultimately I want to run the instances to objects script on what's left as exporting it to iClone

    @WendyLuvsCatz, sounds odd. I haven't experienced that.

  • Glad to see a thread on this product. I didn't even have to get through all the promo images to insta-buy. Hoping to see lots of renders shared! This set offers a lot of possibilities.

    I think it is just breathtaking as well. Thanks so much for putting it in the PFAD items during the sale!
