Loading a Mac scene in Windows

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)
I decided to switch to Windows as my Mac is very slow at rendering but I am on a long term project with a client and I want to be able to use the same current scene on a new Windows pc. Is there a way to transfer scenes between different OS? Thanks!

    As long as the same content is installed, yes - Scene files and presets use relative paths (just store the location of the fiel within the content diectory). Older .duf files and very old .daz files may point to asset files that were created for imported content, those will exist in the Data folder in your first DS cntent directory on the mac and would need to be brought over.

    Thanks for your response! Most of my scene is composed of native Daz files and it's free content. I don't have any old files. So if I save my scenes on a flash and then transfer them to a new Windows PC should it be fine? What is important for me is that all the lights, cameras, props and the morphed Genesis figures remain the same.

    Yes, install the content on the Windows machine and your scene files and presets should work.
