    But simply my friend and I are trying to load your figure (without any change).
    No extra requirements are needed?
     I ask because in the edited text file, I saw something that said VERONICA

    {

    "file_version" : "0.6.0.0",

    "asset_info" : {

    "id" : "/0%20Genesis%208%20Carrara/Veronica%20Wr8th.duf",

    asset info is commented out, 

    by file path, i meant when adding a ds content folder to carrara tray, the data folder needs to be at top 

     

    content or my library,

    • data
    • people
    • runtime

    also double check you see 'people' folder and not 'daz people' folder

    In my previous comment I left a screenshot of how I have everything, although according to what I saw, they are the correct routes.
    It is:

    hi,

    a screenie of your carrara tray of the content tab?

    did you use 'add folder' or 'add runtime' option?

    My second directory would be the one in the photo I just attached.
    PD: What is "DOTA"?

    Me too xD
    Could you show me how Carrara looks configured in your case please?

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,050

    The structure should look similar to this

    it looks to me those directories that say runtime are poser runtimes.

    i dont use the default My Library.  my top folder is GN8 content, data is a direct subfolder

    I understand, thank you both.
    But I have a question Misty, why does your "DATA" folder appear in another call "! GN8 content" ?.
    Is it something vital that has that name or is it something totally optional?
    I have another question.
    Is it necessary to have Genesis 3 for Carrara to use Genesis 8 for Carrara?
    I ask because I see in the images that appear the figures of Genesis 3 for Carrara.

    g3 and g8 are separate starter essentials. separate installs.

    i have multiple ds library folders.  i don't want to have to back up my entire ds library every time i add a g8 morph.  i've been here 10 years, a lot of gigabytes over the years.  lol

    where your directory says 'My Daz Library',  mine is 'G8 content', just my way of organizing.smiley

    carrara understands relative paths.  as long as data is at the top of the tree where you load the character from, carrara will find it.

    and i should mention *the preset does not have the toe morph fix built in.

    I understand
    And I know what it's like to grab Daz content especially when it's free or at a huge xD discount.
    Well, I will prove what you say.
    Thank you.
    PS: Thank you for advising about the toenail, but I already knew it because it is mentioned a lot in various xD forums.

    It still doesn't work.
    And my free trial of Carrara is about to end TT.TT

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    what happens if you try to load a basic wear item from the g8 starter essentials?

  • ChrisSerketChrisSerket Posts: 202

    It appears like this:

    PS: If I try to boot the basic elements of genesis 8 essentials (either genesis 8 female or male), carrara just quits without throwing any errors.

    try a clothing item from the basic wear.

    this will test if the folder is attached to the carrara tray as a daz folder.

    kewl.  is the g8 carrara preset in the same runtime  as the clothes?

  • ChrisSerketChrisSerket Posts: 202

    Yes, everything is in the folder "MY DAZ 3D LIBRARY"

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    i cant think of any other reason why the clothes will load and the preset doesn't.

    same path pretty much covers it. cool

    I do not know if this is related to the problem, but the trial version I am using is not from Carrara 8.5.1.19 but from Carrara 8.5.0.243
    I just couldn't find a trial version of Carrara 8.5.1.19

    g8 uses the udim uvs, not sure what version added support

  • ChrisSerketChrisSerket Posts: 202

    and is there no way to bring some genesis 8 figure by fbx or other format to carrara from daz?
    (without losing the bones or morphs)
