Grey boxes instead of figure.

Hello, I'll try to be as precise as possible (English is not my primary language, sorry.)

I have installed Daz studio 4.12 (64bit)

I saw that the installation content for the models was (C:\Users\'username'\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library). I copy the path to a .txt file to not forget it. :P

I create the folder 'My Library' as in the Studio folder there is only 'My Daz Connect Library' folder

I extract the Genesis8FemaleStarterEssentials, and it creates the subfolder Content with files Manifest and Suplements.

I run Daz3D and try to import the model from Content Library.

It creates a figure made of grey boxes and a warning that says. 'The following files could not be found':

The folowing files could not be found

The thing is that I checked and the files are there, ALL of them, precisely in the locations that DAZ says that it can't find them.

I understand that the program does not find the files, despite me being carefull and specific with the path. Do I need to check somewhere in the app for the correct path?

Any help would be really appreciated, thank you very much.

 

P.S. Sorry if there are any grammatical errors.

The files and folders that are in the Content folder should be in the My Library folder. It is simpler to use Daz Install Manager, or to install from the Install pane in daz Studio while working on line.

The name of the content directory (My Library) is not important, you can use any name and tell Daz studio to use that folder - in Edit>Preferences (Daz studio>Preferences for a Mac) go to the Content tab and click Content Directory Manager, then select Daz Studio Formats and click the Add button on the left to select a location.

I knew it. It was all User (my) error.

I followed your advice, and added the path to ...(My Library/Content) folder and now Genesys male/female load.

I still get 1 error. It writes that it can't find Genesys 3 female model, but I don't know why, since this all is a fresh Win10 install.

Anyway., I've saved your solution for future reference and use.

THANK YOU for your quick reply.

You don't want to have both My Library and My Library/Content set as content directories, that can confuse Daz Studio when saving files. it wouldn't matter which you chose to use, however, as long as only one of them was selected.
