1. Using the OS file browser (e.g., Explorer/Finder), navigate to a content directory that is mapped as the "Daz Connect Data" directory or a "Daz Studio Formats" directory in the Content Directory Manager.
2. Within the chosen mapped directory, navigate to the ./data/cloud/install sub-directory
   • If the sub-directory does not exist, you will need to create it.

I have not used DS in a very long time, and have searced all the directories to try to figure out where the heck "Daz Connect Data" is. I also looked under preferences as there used to be something about showing where content is located, and it is not there.

Thank you!

I do this to detect bugs from bad releases, and ensure that I can find content in my library in a timely fashion.

I still have no clue how this is meant to be done or work.  No docs, no support, and lots of rumors. 

My current and completely unverified understanding is that I have to install into my primary library.  (Where?  How?)  Richard Haseltine (?) is supposed to create a script which will create links that I play with?  (True?  Timeline?)

Again since there is no documentation on any of what Daz is doing, I can only guess what a good approach would be.  If I create a Daz Connect Libary will that be a merged directory structure with my non-Daz Connect library?

Do I have to create a new Library for Daz Connect Managed installs?  If I do, can I put that in a subdirectory of my main linbrary, and put links in my main library?  (This would be an improvement for me I'd have managed installs and the ability to muck with where I see it in the product directories.  People\Genesis 3 Female\Characters\... etc.)

Does Daz have any intention of documenting Daz Connect at some point?  Its never to late.  This glossy doesn't help at all, I can find no details;

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/new_features/start#daz_connect

On a side note: I really have no use for in Daz shopping. Can that bit be disabled?  (I can't find anything in the FAQ, and there's no documentation...)

[I don't understand how a squitty little UI will help me figure out what I need.  Currently the biggest issue I have is that the shop with a full Web UI has a very poor ability to search or locate what I may want.  I fail to see how that will get any better.  Filling my face with stuff I know I don't want, complete with tiny pictures isn't gonna help me make decisions.]

The Genesis 2 Female has me bewildered.

I am using DAZ Studio 4.9.

If I load Victoria 4 with my favorite skin, I can adjust the render from matte to blinding shininess with one control -- Glossiness.

But if I load Genesis 2 Female, no matter which shader I use, I can't make her skin shiny. Healthy human skin has a natural subtle shine. If use the standard shader, no value for Glossiness causes anything other than a matte render. If I use the Uber shader -- which has about 10 glossiness sliders -- nothing that I do causes the skin to shine at all. I've been thru tutorial after tutorial, I follow what it says to the T and I never get "a healthy glow" with G2F.

I must be overlooking something very very obvious.

What is it?

Thanks,

Martin

I'm looking for help with custom Daz3D props and characters.

In a nutshell, I'm developing a pretty large webcomic universe that I thought I'd be able to do the art for, but it's become large enough, and has enough simultaneous events happening, that there's no way I'll be able to do the art and the writing. And, frankly, even if I were to outsource one of those two, I still wouldn't have enough time.

I'm an old Poser/Bryce user from back in the early 2000s, and I realize they've come a long way since then. However, I like that Daz is free, and the quality of the renders are really impressive. I'm giving serious thought to doing the entire webcomic universe in Daz/Vue. I have the computing power; what I lack is time to model. I don't even remember where I put my old Lightwave bundle.

What I'm looking for are a few go-to product developers who'll be able to put together quality items (props, maybe characters) based on my art. This is a paid job, and I'm looking for serious developers only. If you are someone who'd like to make a few bucks on the side developing items for me, please let me know. If there's a better place to post this, please tell me. But this is going to be a cool project, and anybody who develops something seen on one of my pages, I'll give full credit to on my site and maybe that'll develop your reputation a little.

I don't have specifics about what I need just yet. Any questions, post them here. If you want me to see samples of your modeling, post a link. You can also email me at r.novak@photoncomics.com.

Thanks!

Richard

don't need to save money for pain medicine, do i?  how much can double root canals hurt?

Removed the word flash from the title, as it's not a flash sale, just limited time.  ~Mod

I just "bought" the file for free, because I wished to test if there was another way except using 4.9 for this, but there isn't. And I'll stay with 4.8. No big loss, as I didn't pay for this and don't like it (except the really impressive boots ...)

How can I get this item. It is connect only? I'm a bit concerned, because it doesn't seem to work well and doesn't seem to sort as well as DIM Does. What can I do to fix this problem?

1. If I buy a product that is encrypted and didn't notice it at the time, is it eligible for a refund (as per the 30-day money-back terms now in place)?
2. What if the product's encryption status changes after 30 days? Is that possible? Likely?
3. In this case (where the item wasn't encrypted when I bought it, but suddenly was updated to an encrypted version more than a month later), would I be able to get a refund, even though it's been more than 30 days?

I hope that's clear. And again, if someone else has addressed this elsewhere, I aplogize.

I could not get the Helpdesk to work for me right now so I thought I would try here.....

I have just purchased the Gianni 7 ProBundle and went to download all of the items ( manual download is all I use ) and when I got to Finlay hair, only the hair for G2M was available, NOT the G3M version .

Anyboby else have this issue ?

I will try the helpdesk again later and hope it will cooperate :-)

Edit: I tried helpdesk in Firefox and it worked ( dont know why it did'nt in IE , but hey ... ) so hopefully it will be solved soon :-)

Thanks

I've managed to figure out how to fix the bad UVs on the Hood up version.

In data\Cardinal Cloak - Hood Up_15513_Object there are seperate folders for each version of the cloak.  In each folder is a uvs folder, which contains two dsv files, default.dsv, and a second uvs that has the name of the version of the cloak, i.e. Clasped Long.dsv.

What you want to do is make a copy of the named file, re-name it to default.dsv, and replace the original default.dsv for that type of cloak.

Thanks

Are people interested in these kind of things in the Daz Store ?

I sent them to Daz to see what they think, just wondering what other members thought.

Thanks :)

This is disturbing.  I do NOT trust Daz now, not at all. At any time when I buy something, it won't matter if it's encrypted or NOT, you can change it willy nilly at random and not tell me. 

I've never used it before, and I've only manually managed installs as per Daz instructions.

Is there a manual?  What does it do?  How do I tell if its working?

Can we make a back up of installed content if it is encrypted? Can we use it on another machine if we just installed DS4.9 on it without being online? Means if DS4.9 is installed without the content but works and I go offline and install the backed up content, can I use it or do I have to go online to use it? If this is the case all this sucks totally. What happens if DAZ goes to hell someday? Will that mean that we were never able to use such products on new machines?????
