At a Loss over a Bardot Outfit

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I have no idea where this Bardot outfit came from. It is in The Genesis 8 directory under Clothing/Bardot Outfit.

The reason I ask is that I added the Materials/Iray doohicky to the outfit and got an error message.

One thing led to another and I couldn't find the Clothing outfit anywhere including the Daz3D store wherein I searched for it.

It loads yet I can't add the Iray or the 3Delight material.

I assumed it was part of a the Genesis 8 character.  Anyone know anything about it.  (I have a memory problem over some things.

    I'll add that I have 2 SSD drives (in the the computer box) and I was looking for a way to make pointers to the Daz3d stuff I have and move the products to the other SSD as I am getting dangerously close to beling past my comfort zone. There's a 256 gig system drive I have of which 167 gig is used leaving 86 gig (approximately, after I deleted a bunch of non-Daz3D stuff).

    AFTER the above Bardot outfit issue, I have been getting error messages here and there after using some advice from Microsoft's people about moving things to another drive.

    The outfit was included as part of the freebies that were called 'dForce Starter Essentials' or something similar to that phrase. None of those essentials are standalone products themself.

    The Bardot Outfit is included in the "dForce Essentials" installer, which came with DAZ Studio 4.10+ as a way to get people to try dForce (without any financial outlay). I think it should load with Iray materials (don't have my DS PC switched on right now to check). I've used it a few times and not had problems with materials myselt.

    It does load with default Iray materials. If you wish to apply the 3Delight or Iray materials separately, the .duf files that load those contain a path error that throws an error message popup indicating that DAZ Studio cannot locate a .dsf file. If I simply click OK, then DAZ Studio seems to be able to locate the errant file, as the materials load as they should. Or they do for me, at least. I don't know whether this has been corrected in a subsequent release of the dForce Starter Essentials or not.

    (Basically, using the top as an example, when selecting the 3Delight materials, DAZ Studio is looking for /data/Mada/Bardot/Bardot Top/UV Sets/Mada/Base/default.dsf. However, the actual path to that file on my PC is /data/DAZ 3D/dForce Starter Essentials/Bardot Top/UV Sets/Mada/Base/default.dsf)

    I ran into this with the Persian Beauty outfit for G2F - I got it when it was released, but then it disappeared from the store and showed up in the free Barefoot Dancer RTR.

    Anyway, the path error for the Bardot outfit has still not been fixed, but thanks to SixDs, at least now I know where to find it, and can then fix it. I understand it's a non-issue, but it's still an error message, and error messages annoy me like a ringing phone.

    Open your data folder (wherever you installed your Content to), then open the Mada folder and create a folder called Bardot in it.
    Back in the data folder, open the dForceEssentials folder.
    Copy the 3 Bardot folders (Top, Skirt, Shoes) to the Bardot folder you created under Mada.
