Help is extremely slow here…I even sent a comment via support link to the support/help folks, since I purchased the Toon Generations Bundle, but still no replies, no answers, no nothing!!!

As of the time of posting here, the time in Utah is 8:17 am, DAZ 3D don’t start that early.

You have the toon Generations bundle?  These items are in Poser format, and you will find them in the Content Library tab under Poser Formats > My Library > Figures > 3D Universe.


If you cannot see the Content Library tab, go to Window > Tabs and select it from the list.  you can then dock it anywhere.

What problems are you having exactly, and what are you trying to download, and what browser are you using?

Thanks for you reply, Jimmy. It is good to see someone responding to my cries at least. Thanks again.
I am using a Mac running OSX Mountain Lion. I see the Content Tab and there is no problem with that. As I said I purchased the Toon Bundle and was trying to replicate to skin texture and lighting, etc…as the ones in the demo. I read in one of your posts that they’ve used UberEnvironment2, which I can’t find anywhere inside DAZ Studio. After researching again, I was told to check the CMS and in fact my CMS is not working, reason why my Smart Content is not working either. Someone in this thread and other threads suggested that it might be linked to the Genesis Starter Essentials zip file. That too cannot be downloaded as the link is broken. I’ve tried both the mac and the windows zip files and both links are broken.
In short, how can make UberEnvironment2—> Smart Content—> Genesis Starter Essentials work on a mac os 10.8.1 running DAZ Studio 4.5 Pro.

First of all, the UE2 lights are in the Content Library tab, DAZ Studio Formats > My Library > Light Presets > omnifreaker (see image below)

What version are we talking about here?  Have you just bought the 4.5.0.137 Beat version from the store?  I got it yesterday, and the Genesis Essentials Starter file worked perfectly for me.  I cant understand why you cannot download it, as we all get both Mac and PC downloads.  You may have to clear your browser cache, or try a different browser.  This bundle has nothing at all to do with the CMS.

The CMS can be uninstalled itself, in Windows it is in the All Programs area, Mac must also have a place where applications that can be run are listed?  If the CMS is not running, and you can’t start it, then you would need to uninstall it, and reinstall DS 4.5.0.137.

Smart Content will not work without the CMS, but the Content Library will list everything that is on your HDD.

Thanks for replying Slyvia, I have just tried to download the Genesis Starter Essentials from my Avalable Downloads are, and it worked for both the Mac and PC version.  It may have a bad link on your page to the server, in which case we will have to wait until DAZ get into work to get it sorted out. 

There are too many people with the same problem to be a browser error I think, yourself , yenxzo and bmeite, to name but three smile

I will see what I can do by contacting an admin for you.

Thank you JimmyC! Now here is the deal: The Genesis Starter Essentials has EVERYTHING to do with that issue. The broken link was fixed, I downloaded the files, installed them and Voila! Otherwise, I was not even able to see the Lights Presets as you showed in your image. Also I am running the DAZ Studio Version 4.5.0.114 Pro Edition (64bit) for Mac. I downloaded that yesterday, so I guess this is the latest release for mac. Again thank you for your patience and your help. Hope this thread will help someone, right before he shoots himself hahaha. Coz after hours of trying to fix that I was about to shoot myself….grrrrr. Thanks JimmyC.

And while I am here, do you by any chance know the specific lights and such that were used in the demo for the Toon Bundle?

Thanka to both of you, but I think DAZ must have found a bad link in the server and fixed it.  I am relieved that it is working now.

Perhaps the CMS is part of the Genesis Essentials now, but it was always part of the main installer?  But then, so was Genesis smile  I must admit, I never thought that was the problem, but I know now.

And while I am here, do you by any chance know the specific lights and such that were used in the demo for the Toon Bundle?

I’m sorry, I don’t know the answer to that, you could try dropping 3D Universe a PM here on the forum, and he also has a website of his own with it’s own forum too.  I will try to get you a link if someone else doesn’t beat me to it.

EDIT:

I just got word that DAZ fixed the problem this morning, a good job.

The site would have been easy enought to find smile : http://www.3duniverse.co.za/default.asp?
