It dissolved slowly through years of tech support,
Tech support jokes are awesome though.
Tech Support: “Ok, in the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the ‘OK’ button displayed?”
Customer: “Wow. How can you see my screen from there?”
“Wait a minute, you want me to shut down my computer by pressing the Start button? What kind of idiot do you take me for?”
Ok, so, seriously for a moment (though no longer, I promise), I am thinking of a render of Genesis in Carrara 8.5 using the Supersuit. I know I can have Carrara 8 and 8.5 installed together, but I haven’t installed Carrara 8.5 yet. I assume I simply install it to a different directory, and then probably have to install all my Carrara-specific content again?
You may have to either refresh thed folder via the Carrara browser or restart Carrara. But if this is the 8.5 beta we’re talking about, I’m not the one to ask. I just use C8Pro.
Got a problem with the 8.5 beta but I don’t know if it’s a bug or something dumb I’m doing (probably the latter!)... My Genesis content isn’t showing up in the Smart Content tab, even though I did install the metadata files. Genesis itself shows up, but none of the clothing/items. Any ideas?
After you install any new content to DS,. you need to open DS, so that it can update the database with the meta-data before it will show up in Carrara.
then open Carrarra. and the content should be there.
the plan is to have a system where carrara has it’s own CMS, and isn’t reliant on DS, butt right now it need to have that to work with genesis.
the only other thing that would prevent new stuff showing up in smart content would be if the product wasn’t smart.
EG some V4 clothing, which may be NEW (to you) but isn’t smart content yet.

otherwise,.. it should show up in Carrara.
Hope it helps
I’ve opened DS many times, but let me make sure I’ve done it now and edit this with the results.
{edit} - Nope, got nothing. I opened DS and looked at some stuff in there and it seemed ok, but nothing in C8.5. The content that I was looking for included the Genesis Supersuit, which I’m pretty sure is smart content.
the Super-Suit should show up in the default Smart content view,.(see pic). along with the main figures and clothing , but it should also show up in the Files and categories view.
Is the normal Smart content showing up,.. or No smart content at all. anywhere in carrara ?
If you’re installing the content to Daz Studio,.
then opening DS and updating the metadata,. (and the smart content is all visible there)
then opening Carrara, and there’s no smart content visible…
something isn’t right.

Some of it doesn’t seem to show in smart content on DS4.5 either. I’m reinstalling it to see if it shows. I suspect I’ve done something stupid.
{edit} - Updating DS4.5 to latest version, reinstalling Supersuit and seeing if that works. No idea why a lot of stuff shows on DS and not on Carrara though. Will hope the reinstallation of DS and the CMS sort that out.
{another edit} - No luck so far, re-importing all my metadata within DS now! Might take a while.
{last edit} - Yep, it’s all there now in both DS and Carrara. Time to play!
