Have some questions about the inner workings of daz as well as some "Content Database Maintenance" q

Shawn Giovanni Art

In the content database maintenance window there or some options to check,.. i wanted to know what does " consolidate file references" and "condense data base" do,.... is there a detailed list of the functions of these options? is there any good documentation on daz at all lol there seems to be non on the more important things.

also in the parameters tab, when sometimes i need to disable limits,.. so i click on the gear box... the last time i did it i found myself staring at the options dialog.. .. there are drop downs that allow you to put in " controllers" or "modifiers" or something like that.. ijust just very curious and wante dto know what these things do and how can they be put to use?

I'm not sure, off-hand, on the CMS questions but the tabs in the Settings dialogue are purely informational - they show what other settings control or are controlled by the property you are looking at. For example, content will often look odd in certain places when certain bends are applied to the maker will create a fix morph and link it to the rotation control so that it applied automatically as needed - looking at the morph's proprieties you'd see the rotation listed as a controller, and looking at the roation you'd see the morph as a sub-component.
