Converted Hair & Clothing - All Assets

Doc Acme

I convert items rather infrequently, but made a couple just today and finally noticed something.  While the item is converted, other assets such as textures or poses aren't.  The originals still work with the converted of course, but you need to go find the originals Library.

Is there a technique or such get copies or links in the receiving folder?

You could copy the files in Ds (right-click menu) and paste them into the desired place (also right-click) - that would create links, so if there was an update both locations would access the updated files (and it might save a little disc space).

Excellant. Thought I'd tried a Rt-Click but didn't see a copy.  I'll take a closer look.

Are you talking doing this in File Explorer?  I see no means from within DS.

In the Content Library pane.

This is what I'm seeing ...

Yes, right-click on the file(s) to copy.

So at the G8 end of things, I'd need to create a materials folder ahead of time I'm guessing as there isn't one now. Anyway of just duplicating that folder from the get go?

There is http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/specific_ui/create_asset_links/start for folder trees

Doc Acme

I'll take a look. Probably have questions on using that script.
