Halo everyone, I'm really new to Daz3D & I currently use Daz Studio 4.6.

Several days ago I downloaded several Morphs, one of them is Belly Control from Zev0. The file was a Zip file not an installer. I unzipped the file, then i got "Content" folder. Inside it, there were "Presets" folder, "data" folder, "Runtime" folder, and manifest.dsx. My question is, what should I do with them? Where should I put them?

I appreciate every answer & help.

Thank you everyone

Regards,

Tititlemot

    If you wanted to install it into a new runtime folder (you may wish to merge all your products in the same runtime instead, in which case you will have to locate it and adjust these steps slightly):

    Create a new folder (for example, make up a new empty folder called "Belly Control".) Unzip your product into this folder. Go into the Content folder, select everything, then move it up alongside the Content folder. Delete the now-empty Content folder (and if you aren't using DIM, you can also delete the manifest.dsx file.) This should give you a folder structure containing, among other things, something like "Belly Control\runtime", just like all your other mapped folders.

    Run DAZ Studio. In the Content Library pane, click on the menu icon in the upper corner and select “Content Directory Manager” from the menu. In the resulting Content Directory Manager window, click on “Poser Formats”, then press the Add button, then browse to and select the folder CONTAINING the runtime folder ( "Belly Control" in the above example.) Press Accept, wait a while for it to finish. In the Content Library pane, click on the menu icon in the upper corner and select “Scan known directories for files”. Wait a while for it to finish. In the Content Library Pane, click on Categories > Default > Unassigned, and you should find your content scattered about within various subfolders here.

    Had your content been DAZ Studio native content instead of Poser content, you would have repeated the “Poser formats” step above but using “DAZ Studio Formats” instead. If it is in both formats, you need to do the steps for both.
