different issues i have…

Tights Textures for Genesis Supersuit File

Exsists, but it will not render on any character

thanks from : mal

If this is my free download from ShareCG, you need to apply this texture to the basic supersuit which comes with the Supersuit for Genesis.

You cannot use these on base figures.

i will download the basic supersuit Genesis soon
after ive worked out some of the other little issues thank you
for your reply

Mal, if I were you, I would not bother to install any freebies from ShareCG until you get your program installed properly.

Please tell us what Operating System you are using, and what version of DAZ Studio, and what you have already installed..

Malamoo, DS should be installed with all default settings. It will create the My Library folder in the My Documents folder for you.

You do install ALL content to the My Library folder but some older installers and zip files use the OLD content folder those need pointed to My Library as the last folder. All exe installers should be pointed to MY Library as the LAST folder in the path.

i like your quote, your right, there is only one person stopping us from doing anything,
it’s alwasy yourself, the only one i’m working against is myself. overcome that and we can do anything!

You are so right, if we can understand something we can do it. All that holds us back is our self’s.

I’m pretty good at getting content installed and then finding it in DS4.5. We have two versions of content now, Smart Content and the Older content that can only be used from the Content Library Tab. Also as a new user you will need to learn the difference between an item that will load to your Character or Scene and a expansion that will need the original item before it will work. It will take a bit before it all becomes automatic but as you can see all us other users figured it out so you will as well. Hint, if I can everybody can.

Hi Malmaoo

The Decimator, and the Animate2 plugin’s are not part of the Daz Studio Pro.
they’re sold as separate products in the store if you need them.

You should have Animate lite in Daz Studio, which will allow you to use Animate blocks of motion capture data, but it doesn’t allow you to create and save your own clips for sale. only the full Animate2 will do that.

The reason your Character appeared as a bunch of Blocks is .... it’s a display option,(Bounding box),.. like Wire-frame, or Shaded.
You can change the options for figure display from a drop down menu on the main screen.
no need to re install the application.

Hope it helps

Animate and Decimator and paid for products, you don’t need to worry about entering the serial numbers for those two plug-ins.

you have a sense of humor, thats good!!  it helps! yes, i’m looking at that now different content that only loads with with some things and others not.  i’ll get there someday..
i thought i can do this… then i realized it’s not a simple as it looks! 
have a good evening

Pardon me for jumping in, but I’m curious as to whether you were able to make the “blocks” go away. Just to recap it is possible, somewhere in the area of DS 4.x and Windows Vista 64-bit, to end up with the models looking a bit funny. In my case ALL the models turned into blocks, even minor props stopped working.

In my case I was not able to fix the problem, and have had to set aside the offending computer as far as using DS 4.x

Per your other questions I was able to get V4++ morphs to work, but it took me a long time—many weeks in fact—and I had to use a different computer and OS as, under Vista 64-bit I’d initially tried to customize my install path… no particular reason why and when I did it, I wasn’t aware that it was a VERY BAD IDEA to do it that way.

If what you are seeing is like the image below, then go to Window > Tabs > Tool Settings, and change the dropdown for Draw Style to ‘Current (Off)’, that should fix it.

Hi

Jimmy beat me to it,..  :( ..but I’m posting the image here anyway , since it’s an alternative way to do the same thing.

In the pic,. (click for full size)  I’ve circled the little icon where all the “Display Options” are available in a drop-down menu.

click there,  then you can select a different draw style from the menu.

Hope it helps

...the problem Did Not go away…

Sorry to hear it. I tried JimmyC_2009 and 3DAGE’s suggestions and for me it seemed to work so for me, the “offending” computer (running Vista 64-bit) is back up and running. Yay, no more blocky models! Thanks people!!

I realize it is frustrating when you get “file not found” and “unable to locate file”. I myself have installed many things where the pieces still tend to be all over the place, even on my other computer that’s working better. A third computer has everything more or less shipshape, but out of the blue a video problem has developed which seems to be confined to DS 4’s preview window.

Sometimes when it can’t find something I will go in and manually “import” or open the .CR2 or other file… for instance with Nerd3D’s deluxe backdrop tool I change the tool to “Surface Selection”, then click on the backdrop. Next, I “merge” the corresponding .DSA file that I want and click “ok”, and the texture is applied that way.
