Can't find DS Files Recently Bought from Renderosity

dvitoladvitola Posts: 136
in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I have an iMac Pro and am running the new Mojave OS. I realize the DIM no longer works but I can download files directly from DAZ into the program. I bought some Rendo DS files a week ago and managed to get them to show up by using RendoInstall. I bought some more about three or four days ago. I manually installed them and they do not show up in my content list. I then tried Rendoinstall and still nothing. I look at my DAZ Library directory and the files are there. They are just not showing up at all in the program. I make sure I have them both in the software's directory as well as an alias directory under users. Can someone tell me why I'm not seeing these files? I've scanned directories, reinstalled metadata, etc. And I've looked everywhere. I've done searches in DAZ which shows nothing. The data has been installed properly. I'm out of ideas.

Thanks in advance,

Denise

    DIM works, but you will need to directly download the current version from your account as you can't launch the one you have installed to get it to update itself.

    Are they Poser format or DS? Are you looking in the Content Library>whichever Formats>Folder you installed to?

  • dvitoladvitola Posts: 136

    Hi Richard, These are strictly DS formats. As it is, I seem to have two My Daz Library in the content list. One under DAZ Connect and the one the DIM set up. 

    Oh, thanks for the word on the DIM. I finally managed to get it to open with the new download.

    Thanks for any info. I appreciate it.

    Richard, by the way, I'm looking in the correct folders.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,783

    If they are manuakl installs, make sure there isn't a Content or My Library folder in the content diectory (though if there was it would just show as an extra entry un the Daz Studio Formats>My Library folder or Daz Studio Formats>My Daz 3D Library folder)

  • dvitoladvitola Posts: 136

    There isn't, Richard. I've redownloaded the files, followed the paths and everything is where it should be. Just not showing up in the content list.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,783

    Where is where it should be? It's hard tpo trouble-shhot in the abstract.

  • dvitoladvitola Posts: 136

    okay, here are the files:

    My DAZ 3D Library/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/Anagord/ANSmallLipsG8FV1/(then several .dsfs)

    My DAZ 3D Library/People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Anagord/Small Lips Morph G8F Vol1

    My DAZ 3D Library/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/Anagord/ANSmall BreastsG8FV1/(then several .dsfs)

    My DAZ 3D Library/People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Anagord/Small Breasts G8 Vol1

    Now the interesting thing here is, I have the same files and pathways for Big Lips Morphs G8F Vol1 which is showing up properly in the content list

    The other one I'm having trouble with is this one:

    My DAZ 3D Library/People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Mousso/Zhi.duf

    My DAZ 3D Library/People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Mousso/Zhi.png

    My DAZ 3D Library/People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Mousso/Zhi/Iray/

    My DAZ 3D Library/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/Mousso/Zhi/ (then .dsf files)

    My DAZ 3D Library/Runtime/Textures/Mousso/Zhi/

    I have several others by Mousso--Albany, Botan, Celestia, Gail, and Shangrila that are showing up. These were bought at the DAZ site, not Renderosity

    I've been doing manual installs for years and have never had this happen. I can't figure out what I'm missing.

    Thanks, Denise

    Another thing, Richard, his breakdown info for paths uses D: /content but since I've got a Mac I don't have the D: drive and unzipped the file like I normally do and placed the files in accordance to the file structure presented.

    Well, it looks as if the moprhs from Anagord do not have user-facing files, they are adding morphs to the figure which will appear as new sliders. The othrs should be appearing in the Content Library under Daz Studio Formats/My DAZ 3D Library/People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Mousso/Zhi/ - if they aren't, what is the full path (starting from the drive letter) to that location?

  • dvitoladvitola Posts: 136

    Those are the complete paths. Mac's don't use C and D drives, So I can't tell you that. I've checked the morphs files and realize there are no user-facing files, but they are not there. I've attached a screenshot of my set up.

    Well, I don't know about Mac but on Windows having the content diectory in the application folder would cause issues. Do you have that particular My Daz 3D Library folder set as a daz Studio content Directory in DS - Daz Studio>Preferences>Content ab>Content Directory Manager?

  • Umi no Senshi no IshiUmi no Senshi no Ishi Posts: 330

    Don't know if this will help, but from the vendor's notes on the product:"The morphs are located in the Genesis 8 Female/Actor/Full Body/People/ and they can be dialed to your desired amount for mixing"

    Was it a manual install? If so, they may be in the wrong place?

    You've lost me, Richard. This was a download and install of DStudio. I didn't manually install the application. But here is a screenshot of the preferences.

    Thanks, Umi. But I did check there and they are not showing.

    That shows DS is looking in folders in your Documents folder, while the screen shot of the isntalled files shows they are in Daz Studio 64-Bit/ - not the same place, so DS won't find the latter.

    Yay! Richard, that was it! I moved the files over to my DAZ app directory and everything works again. Thank you so much! Sorry for all the trouble. I'm so glad these files are finally showing up. I really appreciate all the help.
