Accessing Tutorial Products

johnbuckeridge

Hey guys - I've finally got around to starting in on all those tutorials I've been snatching up when they's on sale.  Only a couple appear in DAZ Central or in my Smart Content pane.  Where would I be likely to find most of them?

They're usually in a folder called General under My Library. Whether or not you can access them through D/S, you can certainly access them by simply going over to that folder "manually" and loading the videos or .pdf files to enjoy :-)

Actually, just checked and I don't appear tro have a folder named 'General'.  At least, not within D/S.  Might it be located somewhere else?

Manually check the My Library folder [where all your content is installed to].

Oh, I did - there was no 'General' folder there.

If you installed with DIM - locate the product in the 'Installed' tab, right-click on it, and select "Show Installed Files". Clicking oon the resulting link(s) will take you right to the product folder.

DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\General

I unzip mine to transfer over to My Library. In the General folder, without trying too hard, are at least 36 tutorial folders. One day I should watch/read them.

I would think that DIM would install to the same location too. BUT - hay over on the DIM installer I recall seeing a box that required checking IF one wanted to include such items for download. The box is called General. Near the bottom of the list.

Thanks you, both of you - I was so used to all (most) other DAZ products going directly into DAZ Central on purchase, that it hadn't occurred to me that I needed to manually download them from DIM.  Having done so with a couple of them, guess what?  The famed 'General' folder has now magically appeared!!!  Exactly where you said it would be, Catherine.  Thank you again.

Thank you, so much, Namffuak - without your input, I never would have thought of installing them with DIM!  As I said above, to Catheine,  I've relied on DAZ Central too much.
