wow...do the rock outcroppings come with it? 

No, those are from one of Andrey Pestryakov's packs: https://www.daz3d.com/stones-hr-2

Thanks. :) Of course its another product I bought some time ago, lost in the list of so many. I need a way to group or keep track of stuff. I could be so render fruitfull if I had a memory or way to organize stuff 

I use ManFriday's Content Bookmarks to GREAT effect! I put most used items at the top level and then category items in folders. Makes my content so much better behaved and easy to keep in mind!  It works well for keeping Ultrascenery just a click away at any time.

In case anyone wants them in preparation, they are in the PC+ for a Day selection today ($2.49 on their own, $1.99 if you are buying a new item)

Overall, While the general sales haven't tempted me with much, (today is only 30% off) I've bought a ton of PCFTD items, mainly thanks to Andrey Pestryakov. There were so many that I had to start being a bit more selective with what I take. For that, I've had a blast. Over the last few sales, the selection of PCFTD items have mainly been older items, but this year there were some great deals. 

Last two MMs didn't see me spend much, due to underwhelming offers.. or just not any stuff I would buy without a larger price reduction...

This year, that is still true for all offers, except for the "PC+ for a Day" stuff, as I still have a lot of free HD memory free for even more Andrey Pestryakov stuff...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have got the Nature Trees Pack 4 but had moved some of its files into a "Plants" folder rather than keeping it inside the named Andrey Pestryakov. Daz's naming convention convolutions bite again

Other trees like the australian ones render (and the oaks). Looking at the IM00070495-01_UltraSceneryPines zip file the only files that go into the data folder are the low resolution proxies ( in Content\data\HowieFarkes\UltraScenery )  Shouldnt there be higher file size ones or at least links? In \data\HowieFarkes\UltraTrees there are some 8 models of spruce. Are these what the proxies should link to?

The proxies should be linking to the trees from Nature Trees Pack 4 . Mine are in data\Andrey Pestryakov\Nature Trees Pack 4. Is that what you're asking?

Excellent observation. Maybe he never bought or installed the required product!

I am glad that you solved problem with instalation. Very good image!

Hi,
The product is presented in two files TC 1 of 2 and TC 2 of 2 in DIM. Perhaps DIM installed only one of these files. You should check the Ready to Install tab in DIM. If one of these files remains there, then reinstall it. If these two files are fully installed in DIM and are displayed in the Installed tab, then everything should work fine. If you still have problems with launching this product in DS, it possible that the library may be badly setting.

Thank you for your answer, Andrey.
I did everything right the first time but there must be some issue with this product and Smart Content (metadata?).
That said I reinstalled everything again, one more time, and I can now load the product in the Content tab.
That's good enough for me.
It's an inspiring product and I'll post my first render with it as soon as I finish.
Cheers,
.p
 

Yeah. Personally I was hardly affected by the store problems and bought a lot more than i should have. Including both a lot of A category wish list items and stuff that was never on my wish list at all for being way too expensive for my very limited budget. (A big thanks especially to PAs Predatron and Andrey Pestryakov.)

Only bummer is that the store refused my automatic monthly PC renewal by store credit and unexpectedly kicked me out of the Platinum Club last day of the sale....

Hi,
Wonder if someone out there has a similar problem...
Part 1:
Finally bought Temple Cave and installed it via DIM (as I always do), all went fine, but when I searched for the content in Smart Content it was nowhere to be found.
So I did a manual search and much to my surprise the content was located in Lost And Found.
But then things got even weirder: Only the second part of the content was available?
And, of course, when I tried to load it all textures were completly garbled.
Part 2:
Uninstalled everything via DIM and tried to download and install manually.
All went fine in the download and copy to the selected folders.
Searched for the content in the Content Library, noticed that it's missing thumbnails and as soon as I loaded the preload set it came out a total mess, again.
I submitted a tech support ticket but I'm reading a lot of people complaining about no answers from them so I thought I could try my luck here.
Cheers,
.p

@Totte  ,okay so for example "The Forest" by Andrey Pestryakov ,will" Instancify" work on that ?

@carrie58, if you mean this one, Forest, and/or the Forest Superior, I have those, and as I recall, many of those trees are several trees as one object. I don't know if there are multiples of identical objects.

Give me a few minutes, (or more,) and I'll load those and run the script.

Yes I have both of those thank you , at least in Forest I know there are a varity of trees used multple times with just changes in their height and rotatation and translation ,but each different tree type is saved as 1 object if that makes sense....

they are all one load but I chopped them up with the geometry editor and used Ultrascatter

...I remember a few others being rather "heavy" like the Cyberpunk Subway Station the Airport Island sets, and Andrey Pestryakov's Forest. .

Meanwhile even on my old system, I can load the entire Urban Sprawl II or III set and move about them with little trouble. 

Have this on the wish list as it would work great for scenes in the "Redmond or Puyallup Barrens", Chicago Containment Zone, or London's Lambeth Containment Zone  (settings from the an RPG universe which some of my stories are based on).

I got me Andrey Pestryakov's Tropical Lagoon a cheap a while ago and quite happy with the options it offers.

For flowers and plants and products containing these in general:  Esha, Predatron, MartinJFrost, Jefferson AF, Andrey Pestryakov, Traveler.
