what order do install the add ons in i have a few and just dont know where to start

Which product and which addons?  I’d be happy to help.

I’m still around. I can help also.

HERE is a LINK to the OLD TUTORIAL in PDF Format Here

hi I’m new here, i have DAZ Studio on MAC and i currently purchases these items

Katreena PACK $17.95
and
Victoria Base 4.2

im not seeing the people for the purchased characters. all i see is genesis

i installed all the files into my mac that came in the package

thanks

If they were installed properly, and we will assume they were, they should show up in your Content Library Tab in the Poser Formats section. Those are older files and will not show in the Smart Content Tab.
I hope this helped you if not let me know.

since they are older how do i use them ??? is there a way to use them.

thanks in advance

They are perfectly good items. V4 is a stand alone character that you can load just like Genesis. And the other set is some textures to make your V4 have that skin and some morphs and stuff. By older I just ment they were made before DS4 and Genesis. Some of the older sets only show in the Content Library Tab because they do not have the NEW Metadata files, the items with Metadata are the only ones that will show up in DS4 or DS4.5 in the Smart Content Tab. We all were using those OLDER files before DS4, Genesis and Metadata was released.

Did you find your files?

thanks for the info.

i just removed the app fro my mac and re installed it.

for the victoria 4.2 base i was able to specify the location it saves to. now they are stored in my library / people

im still not sure now to access the files

any suggestions??

sorry im new to this, just got this software yesterday

You can find it in DAZ Studio Format/My Library/People

i found the files there but how do i use them in the program ????

I’m not a Mac user but you should be able to load Victoria 4.2 by clicking on the icon. I’m not sure what all comes in that package but I think you get some textures that are Skins you add after you load the model and some poses that will put the pose you select on the character after you have it loaded.

Are you 100% new to 3D? If you are I can point you to some good starter videos.

Hi,

i dont see the icon when i load the program, i wonder if there is a way to point the app to the files??

i dont have any of the paid items showing up in the program. i am using the 64 bit version, im not sure if that makes any issue,

i just purchased the victoria 4.2 BASE, do i need to get the morphs as well ???

im new to 3D but im not having problems with the app, i found the learning curve to be quite easy,

by the way the victoria pack includes

Victoria 4.2 Base
Installers
Victoria 4 Base Power Loader - exe - pc
Victoria 4 Base Power Loader - zip - mac
Victoria 4.2 Base (Mac) - zip
Victoria 4.2 Base (PC) - exe
Victoria 4.2 DS Poses (Mac) - zip
Victoria 4.2 DS Poses (PC) - exe

whats the windows way to use older 4.0 versions of files ?

I will find you some Mac help. I’m afraid I’m in over my head when it comes to the Mac. Please be paitent, I will find you the help you need.
