Can't find expressions

I bought and unzipped Genesis 8 Male Expressions but can not find it in Studio.  Does anyone have any idea where it is? 

Another expressions question:  I remember in generation 4 you could get morphs that created mouth movement for sounds like Ah Oh etc.  Does Genesis 8 have this?

 

Thanks for the help.

    If you manually isntalled the files may be in the wrong place, but in any event there is no user-facing content - rather they add new sliders to the Pose Controls parameter group, under Head>Expressions as I recall. The phoneme morphs should also be there, they do come with the base.

    They appear to be in the right location: 

    Program Files>DAZ 3D>Content Library>Content>Data>DAZ 3D>Genesis 8>Male>Morphs>DAZ 3D>Expressions

    but when I select Genesis 8 Male or head or face there is no sliders.

    You should not have content in program Files, and that isn't one of the default locations DS uses.

    OK.  Can I just move the content files to a different location and just add a base directory?  It looks to me that other morphs are in the same location.  That is where it extracted to.  Any idea where it should be?

    How did you install? No content method should go to the application folder by default. Whaty are you current directory settings - Edit>Preferences>Content tab>Content Directory Manager.

    Richard, thank you for the help and sorry I am just getting back, family and work jump in.  I have installed content by picking a folder and unzipping the file.  I have installed Install Manager and I am begining to think I need to do a whole new install of Studio to get things where they should be.  Is it possible just to move the content folder to a new location?  This is my current directory settings ...Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Daz Connect Library

    Sorry that was Daz Connect not content the.  The Studio format has several but the first is ...Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library

    The C:/Users/Public/Documents/My Daz 3D Library folder is the default for Install manager, and yes you can copy the files across in general - however, in this case I'd be a little wary as Windows is protective of the application folders (to guard against malware) and its quite likely that at least some files may not have arrived there in the first place.

    I really appreciate your help!  Do you think a full re install is the right way?

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 108,013

    I suspect it may be the safest option, yes.
