DIM Duplicate Entry for Arlene Hair

I bought Kool's Arlene hair yesterday. It shows up twice in DIM. Note that the two entries are different sizes.

DIM duplicate entries

Should one of these be for G3 and the other for G8 instead of both listed as G3 + G8? Or is there some other glitch?

I first fired up DIM to install the hair yesterday, back when myself and others were having trouble connecting. Could something have gotten messed up as a result of that? I'm reluctant to install either in case things get even more confused.

    No glitch. There are two parts, that's all. Normally they are marked 1 of 2, 2 of 2, but that detail seems to have been overlooked. Hover your mouse over each one in DIM and you will see in the info popup (among other things) Package ID: 1, or 2.

    Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if that might be the case, but if so, that means we're talking about a hair that's over 1 GB in size! Yikes.

    It comes with a lot of colour textures that go up to 8k, and the description says that it " is made of lots of small hair strands to give this hair real-world volume", so yeah, it's gonna be big.  Might be a candidate for Scene Optimizer if you're tight on space. 

    Looks nice, though.  It's in my cart waiting to see what the rest of the day brings.

    Tried it, looks really nice. Lots of possibilities. The things with the duplicate name is not limitted to Arlene Hair. I also put Island Beach Resort - Beach Pool Villa in my cart, and it also shows up in DIM as two identically named files. I think DAZ QA is taking a fall break frown. Hope they are back from vacation soon.

    Yeah, Kool's hair are nice, but heavy.  The Cora hair is a 1.5 Gb download.  Have a scene rendering with it now.  It's like Linday's hairs.  When preparing a scene, it's best to hide it unless you are working with it specifically.  Renders great, though. :)

    Yes, it is a resource hog. Even on my iMac Pro (14 Core, 128 GB) it takes a bit. Rendering that one on an Amazon EC virtual machine, with an NVIDIA Titan card. 38ct per hour. Result is just great laugh
