[SOLVED ]No resources are associated with Gen 8 male anymore

Coryllon

The list is from my Gen 8is far shorted than the larger one is my gen 3. I am a loss for how to describe this, what caused it, or how to fix it.

You mean Filter by Context is checked in Smart Content, with a G8F selected in the scene, then you got that short list of Categories ? 

Coryllon

Correct.

Odd ~ A guy had the similar issue a couple of days ago and the culprit was proved to be that the relevant metadata were lost in cms database.

You may try re-importing the metadata of some products that you expect them to be shown in Category list, for instance, a couple of character products of G8M or G8F... as I notice there's even no category of Figure in that short list ....

Figured it out. It wasn't mapping to ANYTHING genesis 8 because Genesis 8 lost all pointers to it in the database. Had to uninstall and reinstall Genesis 8. TY for sending me looking for the metadata. I figured if I lost everything I would start with the one that tied to everything.

When I had a similar problem, it was because a product changed Genesis 8 'Compatibility Base' and I had to reinstall Genesis 8 too: Compatibility Base is the key metadata to link an item's geometry with other items related to this item, like materials, shapes, poses, etc and which then allows Smart Content to show you poses, materials, shapes, etc, for G8M when you have one G8M figure selected.

If you can remember which product you recently installed that could have done that, it could be useful to send a ticket to Daz.

Could be one of 2 dozen. I spend more time tweaking renders than starting new ones. :(

Ah, broken metadata just for G8 Essentials !
