Hello Everyone!!
I recently installed Daz 4.5.
Now I want to install Genesis Starter Essentials.
I have a question. I want to install manually, because I have daz 3.1. and now daz 4.5.
So what's the installing path? Is it on ...... \My Library? or other place?
I really don't know the folder where do i have to install!!
AND where do you put all the content that only works on daz 4.5.
PLEASE HELP, and sorry for my bad english
thanks in advance,
mini

Genesis Starter Essentials should be installed to the My Library folder, if that is where all your other DS4 stuff is installed to, that is the default location. Did you install any content at all using the DIM?
Genesis will not work in DS3 at all, but I think you have already been told how to see that DS3 content in DS4.5?
No 'm going to install manually. Thanks....
and all the content that only works on ds4.5. i install on My Library too?
Yes I do that myself. Genesis stuff to the DS4.5 My Library folder (any DS4 and higher only stuff so read the Promos as you shop). And other stuf to my DS3 Content Folder. When done properly DS4 can use it all and DS3 will only use content it can use.
I am facing a problem where my genesis doen not immediately show up and my smart content, shaping etc are empty.
Did i paste the files in a wrong folder?
I pasted the contents of IM00014812-01_GenesisStarterEssentials in the my documents/ daz3d/studio/mylibrary
Is that right??
Did you look at the top level folder in the .zip file? It should have been "Content" which was the default old pre-D|S4 name for the "My Library" folder. There's a pretty good chance your new content is sitting in a "Content" folder inside your "My Library" folder, and D|S doesn't know it's there.
Easy solution, just drag THE CONTENTS OF that "Content" folder and merge them into the "My Library" folder.
Next time you do this, go one folder deeper into the .zip file to get at the folders inside "Content" directly.
I transferred the content into the following directory,
but i still cannot access my smart content, shaping tools... as such
You need to go to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, and make sure that the My Library folder is listed as BOTH a DAZ Studio Formats AND a Poser Formats folder. It is important that the My Library folder is listed as both DS and Poser.
It all looks correct to me for the moment, if you do the above to let DS know where the content is, it should work. I see that you also have a 'My DAZ 3D Library' listed as well, that is the default location that the DIM installs into. Do you have content in there as well?
To access the Shaping tools:
(assuming that what you are looking for are the morph sliders)
1. Select Genesis or the figure of your choice
2. Go to the Shaping tab and click the Editor button near the top of the pane. (In your screenshot, "Presets" is selected instead)
I presume you loaded the MetaData by going into Content Database Maintenance (off the Content Library tab, little arrow icon at the top left) and selecting "Re-import Metadata..." ? This doesn't get done automatically if you manually install the content. It's the Metadata that causes things to be shown in Smart Content.
You are in the Poser Native Format section of the Content Library. The DAZ Studio Native Format section has a little 'S' on the folder icon.
Hello
Just download the installer and goto ...Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager and create a folder
named "Downloads". Paste all the .zip files you have (manually downloaded). Run the installer (work offline) and at the 'Ready to install' tab you can now install all the content you want.
Very not helpful.
