in Daz Studio Discussion

Hi All !!!

I'm sure it is something I am doing wrong. I bought Rhiannon's just released Jorja for Genesis 8 this morning and tried installing; data, People and Runtime in DAZ Studio4.

The problem is Jorja is not showing in Smart Content or in Content Library. I have spent at least an hour trying to figure out why. The only thing I can think of is DAZ is not reading the new files when opening after a restart or I need to use DIM. But I don't know how to use DIM to install files from outside DAZ.

If it matters I am using 7z to unzip the files. I also tried installing a couple of other DAZ oriented characters I bought from Poser with the same results.

Many Thanks in Advance!!!

    It's no problem just to unzip files into your content directory. In most cases the products come with a zipped "MyLibrary" or "Content", and then "Data/People/Runtime" folder structure. So you have just to get sure to avoid a "doubled" folder structure (f.e. unzipping the whole archive into the main content directory and getting a "MyLibrary\Content\Data" structure...).

    To get the new files shown in the content tab hierarchy you have to "refresh" (Mouse-right) at least for the content branch which is involved (\People\Genesis 8 Female\Characters). The new morphs will be shown in the "parameter" tab hierarchy after you have loaded a fresh Genesis 8 female character. And to get the CMS informed you have to klick on "search known directories for new content". The only disadvantage compared to a DIM installation - as far to my knowledge - there will be no automatic entry in the Smart Content, so you would have to do this manually.

    It is for Victoria 4 and Genesis 1.  Generation 4 stuff that uses ExP morphs must not be installed through Connect and if you had Genesis 8 Female loaded of course you would not see content for Genesis 1 in Smart Content.

    Jorja over at Renderosity is for G3 and G8, there just happened to be an older Jorja here by a different vendor. Most likely it is the refresh issue mentioned above, I don't use smart content so I'm not sure if products sold at other stores are usually set up for it. The refresh should help to see it in your regular directory though.

    Usually not, although there are exceptions. The content metadata is stored in the /Runtime/Support/ folder, so if the .zip installer doesn't have that folder, then there's nothing to be added to the content database. Don't forget, though, you can manually add things to the database; there are tutorials on the forums here... somewhere.

    I could not find Jorja as she was under Rhiannon, not what I was expecting and Search did not find it.
