How Do I Find Missing Materials?

Quiet a few items are missing materials when I try to load them into a scene, some of them are missing a dozen or more materials. These range from corneas for base figures to wall textures for buildings, and everything in between. How can I find these materials and get them working as they should?

    Seems they are not installed correctly since I never have that happen when I load normal content from the store. That only happens to me when I import OBJs from outside of DS

    You should be getting a popup error report telling you where Studio looked to find them but couldn't.

    Did you open the folder to see if they were actually there?

    I get a pop up telling me they are missing, and I suppose the names are the addresses? I haven't checked. What do I do if they aren't there? What do I do if they are?

    Well, the first question would be, how did you install the products?

    Lot's of things can go wrong when packaging something for distribution.

    So here are a couple basic things.

    If they are there, and this is content you bought from Daz.Then most likely it was installed with both Connect and either Central or DIM.

    That usually makes install stir fry and you'll need to do a little work getting it sorted out.

    I suggest using only DIM and never logging in inside Studio so Connect won't fiddle with the metadata.You only need to login inside Studio if you are using Connect.

     

    If they aren't there you need to look inside the zip folder the product came in to find out where it was supposed to go.

    Posting a screen shot of the popup, or copy/pasting the error it shows to your forum post would make things easier to diagnose :)

    Please post a screenshot of the error - at the moment we don't know what exactly is missing.

    Here's a screen shot.  I'm not sure how to search the library for the missing things, since the pop up freezes everything until it's dismissed.

    Looks like you don't have the Genesis 2 Female Body Morphs, which are listed as a required product on the product page for Greta.

    Those are morphs, required for the shape of the character (at least in part). Do you have the Genesis 2 Female BodyMorphs installed?

    No, I don't think I do. Thank you!
