Where is V4?

I am very new to Daz Studio so please bear with me. I bought the V4.2 base and morphs and used the Daz installer, but when I open the program I can't find her? Thanks in advance.

Go to the content library/poser formats/my daz3d library/figures/DAZ people. Doubleclick the V4 icon to load her into the scene. You'll find the skins and morphs in poser formats/my daz3d library/pose. Some skins may be in materials, most are in pose;)

I will do that, thank you :-)

Also be aware that V4 is not having native Iray materials, so it's possible that you end up with very glossy skin.

Is there another way to render in Daz Studio besides Iray? Years ago I used Poser and it seemed easier.

I haven't had that problem of recent. But maybe in my first-ever 3DL renders I didn't know enough to go to the Surfaces tab and from there select the appropriate effect eg. plastic, glossy plastic, matte, skin or metallic, or glossy metallic etc.

I did have the V4.2 base and all extensions disappear from one of my computers for some reason. So I hooked up an internet connection and re-downloaded everything using DIM. Problem solved.

As Roman said, you can use 3Delight, poser mats work quite well right out of the box. You will need to adjust a number of things like glossiness, ambient strength and bump settings;)

You have two choices:  Iray and 3Delight.  Keep in mind that both will have a learning curve.
