Frustration! Where do I find my L'obscurité files??

This is why I keep giving up on using DAZ, because every time I want to find anything I can't! I just bought l'Obscurité for V4. I have V4 up as a figure. I have searched through SmartContent and I have done the tedious time consuming task of looking through all the Content Library folders. I have used the search facility in many different ways. I cannot find it.

SO: Does ANYONE know how to actually find and use l'Obscurité please?  Lord, it takes SO LONG to do anything in DAZ unless it is all modern and sparkly and recognised by SmartContent - I swear it's a plot to send us off to learn Poser! lol!

Thanks in advance ... (and all I really want is the cross, she said in a small tired weepy voice!) :D

    I usually have to search under the poser folder, and it is ether under the name of the product or the company that made it

    Like DAZ Originals>item name (as an example) That usually works for me

    Yep, tried that. Tried searching by silencer, goldtassel, swam ... it's like it just isn't there. If I can't find it I''m asking for a refund. But seriously, would you not think that if they feature something on special, they should ensure it shows up in SmartContent, and by its NAME? Sheesh! Sorry, I am just so frustrated by the haphazard way all this 3D stuff works ... it takes so long to get anything done. SIGH! Thanks for your response though! :)

    How did you install it?  Manually or with the DIM?

    If it was DIM you can use it to show where the installed files are...

    You can go into the Content Library and browse by product name. Does that help?

    Anyhow, I used to be frustrated with some content (ie. older V4) not showing up in Smart Content, but that's partially because a lot of older stuff isn't in DUF format...

    Look at your runtime directory because it is a Poser pack with DS pose mats.

    Here is the File List:

    In red the Poser files to load the items (.cr2, .pp2 and .png that can be found in the character and props folders) and in blue the DS and Poser mats (.dsa and .pz2 available in the pose folder)...

    Hi Wilfred, that's great, thanks - it helps me find them in my file browser, but still can't find them inside DS. I need to load the cross necklace onto V4; to my knowledge I can't do that from outside of DS? Sorry, I am probably seeming incredibly dim, but I have looked in the Content Library under Poser Formats > AllRuntimes (which is where everything is put) ... OH WAIT! She cried ... I finally found them, in DS Content Library, in Poser Formats, in the DAZ Runtimes. Good grief!

    Thanks Wilfred, and everyone for your input. I still think that if DAZ is selling anything off the site, they should insist the artists update the coding so it appears in Smart Content. Sigh!!  Okay, that's it, I am off to bed. Good night and thank you again! :)

    It should be in Poser Formats > My Library (or My Daz 3D Library...for default locations) > Props folder.

    If it isn't can you post a screenshot of your mapped content folders?  Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, expand both Daz and Poser formats.

    You are welcome, 3DScreencraft. I think that mcj1016's suggestion is the easiest solution. But you seem to have found the runtime folder in your Poser mapped directories.

    If it had not worked for my advice would have been that you load each figure and prop one by one in DS and that you apply the DS mats to each one before saving them one by one as .duf files (figures and props) in a DS folder. You could also use the File-import option in DS to load each item in DS and then save them as .duf files or to just load them in your scene and to save the whoole scene since the object will load the next time you will reopen the scene.
