    Here are two test renders done with your beautiful light sets. I find they particularly add to the fur "fluffiness" (can you say that in english?).

    I upgraded to DS 4.7 64-bit, reinstalled LAMH (Window 64-bit version) a couple of times, and now can't find the "editor" function. It's behaving like the free player version from what I can tell.

    That happens because you have the player installed too. Remove it, and the editor link will be there...

    Question. I know that the new full version doesn't work in 4.7 on a Mac. Is there a version of the player that works in 4.7 on a Mac? I mostly just use the presets that either come with the product, or that I've downloaded from the site anyway.

    Yay, finally made a hairstyle I was somewhat satisfied with. :)

    Actually from what I heard from other users, including myself (I have a Mac Pro with Yosemite and DS4.7), LAMH 1.5.05 works on it.
    Also the 1.5.15 beta does work, it has the only issue that it may crash DS upon exit, but for the rest seems to be fully functional.

    Okay, second question; if the player is installed (I'm assuming that the version in the Product Library for download is the current one) does one even need to open the plugin in order to apply the hair preset that ships with your animals?

    I'm assuming that one may need to do so to apply a preset for an older model that's been downloaded from the site. Like for the MilDog or the MilCat.

    No you don't have to open the plugin meaning that the player is loaded automatically when installed. You might want to dock the player pane so that it's easier to use it.
    The recent models I did (say within 12 months), can be easily loaded directly from the Content Library icon. I usually have a "LAMH Figures" folder that contains the furred model: if you double click on one of those items, it will be loaded automatically.
    For older stuff, as you mentioned MilDog/Cat, you will need to first load the model, and from the LAMH Pane click on 'Attach LAMH preset', and browse to the related .lmh fur preset for it.

    Thank you. I'll download the current version of the player and install it and check it out.

    OK, I've installed DAZStudio 4.7 (DAZStudio_4.7.0.12_Win64.exe). Everything works so far.

    But when I install the Free LAMH Player (16151_LAMHPlayerforDAZStudio45Win64bit_1.5.15.0_ds.exe) and open DAZStudio, I get the messages "Look At My Hair Resources file not found. Try reinstalling the plugin." and "lookAtMyHairPaneAction: appstart fail"

    Redownloaded LAMH Player and reinstalled it several times, but I always get the same messages.

    I've looked under "Program Files > DAZ 3D > DAZStudio4 > plugins", and there is a file called "lamhPlayerPlugin.64.dll" and an empty folder named "lookatmyhairAM"

    Any help?

    Edit: forgot to say, I'm using Windows 7 64bit

    Hello, the "lookatmyhairAM" folder shouldn't be empty, so I suppose there is a problem with the installer. Or are you using the DAZ DIM?

    No, I've used the installer.

    But now that you've mentioned it, tried to install LAMH with the Install Manager, and it installed correctly and worked (the "lookatmyhairAM" folder isn't empty anymore).

    Ok, good that it's solved. It could have been a problem with the installer not being able to write against folder permissions. I was about to mention that you could try to run the installer again as Administrator...

    In DAZ Studio, go to Window->Panes->Look at my Hair, and click the tiny Look at my Hair icon in the pane, that will tell you the version.

    It doesn't tell me a version, it just brings up this dialogue box:

    Right, that's only for the LAMH Player. Here is where you can check on the full version.

    Many thanks -- no wonder I'm having trouble; I'm still using 1.5.01.

    It's advised to update indeed. You should be able to update painlessly to LAMH 1.5.15 using the DAZ DIM.
    However, LAMH 1.5.15 has been released for Win64 platform only. The OSX and Win32 version are available at our beta site.

    Aha! Figured out the problem -- there are two lookatmyhairAM folders, one in the Application tree, the other in the Documents tree. Many thanks for your help!

    Hi Alessandro_AM\
    I tried to update my LAMH program today, which was working okay , but now all i get is the player, but the plugin says its installed but it won;t come up when i click it on the panes tabs. all that comes up is the LAMH player, I have tried to reinstall it 2 or 3 times using the default settings but its seems to still be not working, before i tried to install the update the LMAH plugin was working now its not

    The worst part is the unistaller does not show in my daz stalled folder or anywhere else on my all programs start menu so there is no whay to remove it at all for a clean install. even though I had that option checked,.


    I took some snip-its of my install. so maybe you can help understand what I did wrong

    Hello, you have installed both the LAMH Player and LAMH Full version, and the player is the one "kicking" first.
    Please uninstall the player and you'll get the menu link Create->New LAMH Object again.
    I suggest you use the DAZ DIM, which in my opinion works better than the manual installers, because it doesn't allow to have both versions installed, thus denying the situation you ran into.
    Cheers

    It shouldn't, in fact you see that in the plugin list you have both LAMH's installed.
    Then try to delete both LAMH versions manually: goto /Program Files/DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4/plugins/ , and remove the following files/folder:

    - lamhPlugin.64.dll (file)
    - lamhPlayerPlugin.64.dll (file)
    - lookatmyhairAM [folder]

    Now, run the LAMH full version installer and you should be good.
