Hello, I’m completely new to this, I’ve never used any 3D software before and I’m not particularity “Tech-savvy” so if I’m missing something really simple and look like i’m pulling your leg because “no-she-cant-be-that-stupid” I assure you, i am.

OK!, So I downloaded DAZ Studio 4.5 Pro, I have a account, I’ve put in the registration code as far as I’m aware I’ve crossed all the T’s and dotted all the I’s so to speak….but when i load up Studio there’s…literally nothing there. I’ve ran through the tutorials and found out that there should be a Genesis character pre-loaded into the scene….it’s not. I’ve clicked everything in the smart content tab because i though “oh maybe i have to tell it to pre-load it or something…” and so far i haven’t had any luck.

So I’m sorry as I’m sure I’m coming off as a complete idiot and i’m sure your all face-palming at my stupidity but please could someone help a gall out?

I can provide screenshot if that would be any help to anyone.

Hi…

Well first off, Welcome to 3D and to the Daz Forums. The people here are very friendly and very helpful…

Second, give yourself some credit, you read the tutorials and also found the New Users Forum to ask for help…

Now as to your problem… Did you download and install the Genesis Starter Essentials package?

It should be in your Available Downloads in your account page.

That has all the default content in it, including the Genesis figure that loads by default at startup.

Hope this helps…

Hi Amyleyland. If you are the type who likes video tutorials, Daz3d has several tutorials on Youtube for Daz Studio 4. Some things such as menus may be different from DS4.5 but they will still have valuable tips and hints to get you started.

Don’t feel bad. We’ve all been there at one time or another.
