Hello to all of you. Probably I can’t understand how to work with this new software (for me)

I have bought and installed DAZ 4.5

Then I’ve bought and installed Victoria 4.2 base but…. I can’t see her. I don’t understand how to load a character in DAZ

I feel me a little stupid….

Is there a simple way to load characters?

Excuse my poor english and thanks to all

I have forgot to indicate that I use Mac OS 64 bit

Look under Poser Formats…she should be there.

I’ve found the .cr2 file but it says that “The Victoria 4” support folder could not be found.
and I can’t do anything…

Can you post a screenshot of your content folders? 

Navigate to the My Library location and just expand the tree…

Did you run all of the installers? Did you install to a folder that you have selected as a Poser content directory (one that appears listed under Poser Formats in the Content Library pane)?

I’ve installed all the files of Victoria but I didn’t choose any folder. The Installer make it himself.

Anyway, this is a screenshot of the DAZ folder in my documents folder:

Did you install the Genesis Starter Essentials?

Because it looks like you are missing most of your DS4.x content…but that’s a separate issue.

Can you expand the Runtime > Libraries folder under Studio3?

And in your Content Directory Manager (Edit>Preferences>Content Library>Content Directory Manager) expand the sections and post a screenshot of that.

And Content appears in DAZ Studio Formats in the Content Library pane (Window>Panes>Content Library)? If so, can you expand the Runtime>Libraries folder, and the !DAZ folder that should be in that (which should contain a Victoria 4 folder, which is the “Support folder” DS wants).

...normally MacOs installs automatically his files… I’m going to think that it’s not so simple…

I haven’t installed Genesis Starter essentials. Is it necessary?

I can’t change my nickname in this forum also….. I begin to feel me seriously stupid….

You need to add the Studio 3\Content folder as a Poser content directory - if you open the Content Library pane you can do that by right-clicking (or control-clicking on the Mac) on the Poser Formats heading and selecting Add Runtime Directory. Then you will find the icon for loading V4 under Poser Formats>Content>Figures>DAZ People, and the error should go away.

On your user name, please PM me with your email, and the username you’d like to use - give a couple of options in case your first choice is taken.

BINGO!!!

Now I must only load the props (business 25) that I bought together….but this is another step!
My ignorance has no limits!

With the main folders mapped properly, it should be easy to get the rest installed…

And, not, it’s not absolutely necessary, but very highly recommended to install the Genesis Starter Essentials, as that has all the ‘built in content’ in it.

Many thanks to all. Now I can work…. (I want to use DAZ3D only to compose the body, then I render abitually in Cinema 4d - Vray. In this case I need human legs to show the ergonomics power of the product I’m illustrating…)

Many centuries ago I used poser (i think version 4) but It was a pc version.

to mjc1016: I’ve tried to search the product but there thousands of files named Genesis starter. Which is the right one?

Can you post me a link?
