[Solved] Problem with spawning a lantern in hand

council313

Hello everyone I recently started using DS so I am SUPER NEW, currently I am trying to get the swing of things and am in the process of completing a pet project. I have gone through tutorials and forums online but since I am still new I am having trouble figuring out what my problem is. So I bought a couple things off the shop to include https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files/prod/22119/ which the only reason I wanted this file was to have my character hold a lantern. My character is a genesis 2 male and I have found the material of the lantern but can not figure out how to add it to his hand. First off I could not find this in the smart content tab which I was under the impression I was able to do because in the intsall manager this file has a check mark next to it. Secondly I found the file after typing in winter in the search box of the content library but everything from that file is a material and when I hover over the lantern the file path it does say people/genesis2female/clothing etc etc. so I figured I could only spawn this lantern on a female, I spawned a genesis 2 female, and still cant spawn the lantern. I do not know if this helps but these lanterns are preset materials as well, when I was trying to find a solution I noticed people were looking for help creating and fixing preset materials although I am not exactly sure what that means. Any help will be greatly appreciated and if you need any more information I will do my best to find out that information for you.

That's a link to your product library, it won't work for anyone who hasn't purchased the set. The store page is https://www.daz3d.com/wild-winter-for-winter-fantasy . Unfortuantely that is not a base set, it's a texture set for https://www.daz3d.com/winter-fantasy-for-genesis-2-females
