Hello
Is it possible to get stuff from renderosity for example to install via DAZ Install Manager ? And where would I put it so DAZ finds it and installs it in the right places ? When I get something from renderosity, half the time DAZ cant find the things, a problem I don´t have, when I install stuff with DAZ Install Manager.
Thanks in Advance

Install Manager has specific requirements, for the structure of the folders in the zip and for an XML manifest file, which most freebies don't meet. However, it is possible to make DIM-ready zips (for exampel using https://www.daz3d.com/content-package-assist ) so some packages can be isntalled through DIM.
That appears to be a dead link. Perhaps this one will work:

Edit: I just noticed the link works if I go out of the DAZ site and click via Google, then use the search result to get at the link.
Thanks, Richard, I had been wondering how content could be bundled.
You can find docs on Install Manager packaging here http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/install_manager/referenceguide/tech_articles/start
I manually install all products, cause in the past, I had problems looking for products installed using DIM, specifically Poser based. Depending on product date, most Rendo products are Poser, specially older products. I manually install to DS folders.
