Greetings,

Following the steps as written, and I find one issue...

DAZ Install Manager and/or Content Manager will still install or convert to the UE4 Engine. You must open both and change the save location to get them to install to UE5-ER directory.

As written I was able to open my UE4 Testing in UE5-ER without any issues, but I think I want to try again since there is "something" going on with G81F's shoulders. Will keep you updated.

 

Ah... Daz Central updates itself if you change Install Managere first... good, one less step :)

G81F's Shoulders image is attached, I'll update if it changes.

you are talking about what "steps? mine tutorial in my tutorial post or you are talking about the main post?

Well, today for some reason it's working again. Lol! I actually found an install file for the SQL, but although I had rebooted before that, and n after, it only worked the next day. Whew! :D

Congrats! Nothing for me. database and smart content still gone....

But my Central and DIM still won't download...

Damn. Re-importing metadata seems to have cured my issues with smart content & the database for the most part.... at least to where the surfaces and other tabs seem to be working again. it won't download at all or it just doesn't show up in Daz?

Bardot is from the dForce Starter Essentials, there should be other clothes included. Which figure is the guide using? My recollection of the quickstart is that it used the dancer outfit, not rocker, so exactly which interactive lesson are you going through?

Apologies for the delay in responding. I've only had time to follow up on this now, and I've determined that the problem is an acute case of newbie-itis. I finally figured out the connection between Daz Studio and Central. Apparently the rocker outfit was in there with the rest of my assets, but I hadn't installed anything from them yet.

I cannot reach Daz Central either, it loops forever and then I get the "Daz Central is not responding" error.

Weird! It's still not installing for me...

Hi, so I have hexagon 2.5, and I installed its' contents from DIM, I also have DAZ Central 4.15. (Windows 10) (I have searched a lot, even on forums; I couldn't find anything useful)

I can see the send to daz on hexagon. My problem is, whenever I go to the customize tabs and try to add the hexagon bridge to the toolbars it doesn't work. (There is an icon to the left, with a box and an arrow going downwards towards the box..which I assume means that I don't have the hexagon bridge installed (even though I presumed that it came included with the hexagon)?)

I clicked on "send to daz" on hexagon but I couldn't find a way to import my project to hexagon or send a project from daz to hexagon, can someone please tell me what's wrong? Also, does anyone have a link to the bridge (if that is the solution to my problem)?

Thank you very much.

Hi all, is there an issue with installing today? I have been trying from both Central and DIM, and while they were working fine yesterday, over the last 16 hours or so, nada. I have rebooted. I have reinstalled Central (manual download, it worked). My install paths are correct in both DIM and Central. There is plenty of space on the hard drive I have now dedicated to DAZ. My internet is working fine. By a process of elimination, then - is the problem at DAZ's end? Many thanks!

ADDENDUM: Downloading through DAZ Studio (Connect) seems to work, so ...?? LOL!

the japanese toilet is legendary.  gotta admit to a curiosity about it. a regular bidet doesnt dry you?

I didn't know this. I guess Japanese toilets are pretty fancy. But Japanese homes are also notorious for not having central heat. I'd rather be warm than have a fancy toilet. 

For Daz Central it would be nice to have all the search filters that we get when we're shopping, like "Artist", "Genre" and "Figure".  If it could provide the dropdowns, that would be amazing.

Thanks,

For some weird reason it (DC) doesn't recognize a number of installed assets as installed.

Assets it had installed? Single assets or parts of a product bundle - some things, such as Daz Studiio itself, get bundled into a single group in Daz Central and it will show that bundled group as needing updating fior any one item that isn't installed/requires an update.

They were installed by the DIM. I had to move (and backup) hard drives, leading me to utilize DC.
It's there in DS ready to use, though!

Hello Richard, all well I trust. Thank you for your response.

I only use DIM. Central became one of my casualties in my quest to find space. I am aware of the changes that can be made via the gear icon but thought that the process would be overwhelming given my personal level of computer savvy. What I mean by 'choice of drive' is as with many software applications, when a person chooses to download software  there is the facility to direct that software to a drive of one's choice. 

I will certainly revisit the choices presented via the gear icon and have a go. If I screw up I always have the choice of a re-install.

Best wishes.

That is already possible. Which install method are you using? Daz Central has only a single, base path option but Daz Install manager allows separate configuration of all paths, including that of the Download Archive, via the gear icon at top-right.

I've just had to reimstall all my content (on a new PC), using DAZ Central; the only sorting option that works is alpabetical!

Actually looking closely at the models and especially the front bar, it looks like there should be one central pole that would go between a pair of horses and other straps from the harness would be attached to the vertical knobs on on the fron bars.

Please try the Public Build and see if that will start https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-beta - it has to be installed through Install Manager, Daz Central doesn't handle betas.

Older versions of DS are not available for download anymore. If you have a backup of the install files you can reinstall the older version manually, otherwise you can try opening a support request to see if Daz support can provide you with them.

DAZ Studio 4.5 is still available as part of the DAZ Studio 4.5+ SDK which can be 'purchased' for free: https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-4-5-sdk

Edit to add: This version was before iRay rendering was available.

That post is from 2019, and the first sentence of the SDK product page says "The DAZ Studio SDK is a free C++ software development platform..."

The installer you are looking for should be listed on your account page under "Product Library"

https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files#prod_13176

If not, here is the link to the store page.

https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-4-pro

It's free but you may need to "buy" it so it gets added to your library, just like the other free items.

 

The products you linked to are for the current version of DAZ Studio. However, If you "purchase" the free SDK kit one of  of the downloads that are available with it is for DAZ Studio 4.5 

ETA: I own the SDK kit and I just checked the available downloads under the product. DS 4.5 is still there in both 32 and 64 bit versions.
