I just bought the Eagle 2 Expansion product. And what do I get? A zip file of nothing but jpegs that don’t even show up in the Daz interface.
The ad page boasts:
Features
Fourteen raptor species (eagles, hawks, falcons, and kites) are included:
American Kestrel (male and female)
Black Eagle
Blackhawk
Black Kite
Black-Shouldered Kite (also known as the White-Tailed Kite)
Cara-Cara
Golden Eagle
Gyrfalcon (dark, grey, and white variants)
Harpy Eagle
Osprey
Peregrine Falcon
Red-Tailed Hawk (one Eastern and one Western variant)
Steller’s Sea Eagle
Swallow-Tailed Kite Each species loads scaled to its appropriate size and with the species textures with MAT poses.
Textures included:
18 Body textures 3000x3000
18 Wing/Tail Textures are 2000x2000
3 Eye Textures 500x500
Plus body feather trans + maps, leg feather trans + maps for each species
Where is the supposed scaling, the supposed expansion? When converting files over to zip, did Daz forget to include some files, or is this all I get?
I don’t know that product, but maybe try downloading and installing it again? I’ve installed things before only to find that there were files missing, and it turned out that not everything came through the first time I downloaded it.

I’ll try it again. It would help if the new site gave us an estimated file size so I can tell if the whole file downloads ...
Ok first off it does say in bold in your post that Scaling is automatic when you load the species you want.
Secondly did you get two files? I am presuming there is no metadata for this product. If that is the case then they should show up in Poser Formats or Daz Studio Formats in the Content Library Pane and not Smart Content. I would check but I don’t have this expansion pack yet.

That’s what I am trying to say. I only have one zip file with only one texture file in it. None of which shows up ANYWHERE in my Daz interface. There is nothing to load. The zip file looks like this:
Sorry misunderstood. Ok then unfortunatley we can’t do anything from here. You will have to make a support ticket to sales or phone them if your are in the states. Sorry about that.

But it is in a perfectly fine runtime structure - which tells me that Daz borked it when they made the (probably ages old) installer into a zip.
Tell Support and they will fix it.
I do have a fairly full set of textures, not just one, but I don’t see the pz2 files in the zip.
Is that the original file?
Could you reset your downloads to find out about the new ones?
Aidana’s picture shows one of the new IM0000097-whatever zip file names.
Yes, I have reset the product, and re-downloaded twice, now. I also think that DAZ forgot key files when converting it to a zip. I will call today as soon as they open. I’m just glad I’m not crazy ... lol.
So there are more files supposed to be included in this, right? It has it’s own morphs and such, right? And it its supposed to at least show u in the Daz interface under the contents tab, I presume, not a manually loaded texture?

That was a reset - it has the textures, but not the pz2 files. This is being looked at by QA now.

I have this product. According to the information in my 3D Content Database, the file sizes are as follows:
Mac File Size: 66.43Mb in 2 files
PC File Size: 65.21Mb in 2 files

Thank you. I just bought this, thinking I could start my book cover right away, and was apprehensive to begin with since there were no other images listed but the one, to find I can do nothing with this file.
I really hope to get started soon before my client demands her money back.

Hope that helps some.
Thanks. It does help. What I downloaded is not near that size. But it’s just a zip file, so it’s hard to say.
You guys were right, the file was ‘broken’. The Daz team should have if fixed by the end of the day :D
Yeah!
On a side note, though, I found it alarming that the initial person helping me was in no way even familiar with Daz 3 ... AT ALL ... she didn’t even have working knowledge that there is no ‘library’ file or that us DS3 users get our textures and morphs under a ‘poses’ file.
In the end, she did help me. But if I were a tech support or sales support person, I would at least be familiar with a system that is not that old. It’s not like I’m using DS2 or 1 or something.
But as mentioned before, in the end she found the problem and set things in motion for it to be resolved. So even though she didn’t know DS3, she did have the tenacity to find someone who did and made me feel better. Daz gets an A, today, because of her :D Too many times I have called tech support, for any reason from any company, and had people not even care that they didn’t know an older software version. I was out of date, so I could not be helped. Such was not so today.
