Daz Studio 4 directory?

Hi!

I've been looking through guides to install plugins (I wanna use diffeomorphic), but I need a "program files/daz 3d/dazstudio4/shaders/iray" content path. Problem is that when I go into my program files and into the daz3d folder, all I see is "dazcentral1". I have daz studio on my computer, I'm using it. But it's located in "user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\DAZ 3D"

Is there something I'm missing here? Anything that needs to be installed locally?

    You do not need such a content path - content will never be placed in the application folder. Some core files for shaders may be, but replace program files/daz 3d/dazstudio4/ with the actual location of the Daz Studio application, but trying to manually install to protected locations is not a good idea.

    The problem I'm running into specifically is that I want to open duf files in blender, and I get an error saying that it couldn't find "program files/daz 3d/dazstudio4/shaders/iray" content path. I figure there's some sort of general installation step I missed when downloading daz studio? Or that I installed the addon wrong.

    No, that is where the folder would be with a default Install Manager installation. Daz Central, or a customised Install Manager, will use a different path - I woudl hope that there was a way to modifiy the path (e.g. by setting the location of the application) in Diffeomorphic - but you should ask in the thread on the importer.

    Unless I have to redownload literally EVERY asset in my library, I'd be fine with just re-downloading daz. How do I go about that? Since I did install daz through daz central

    You shouldn't need to reinstall anything, I'd hope you merely need to configure Diffeomorphic - if that, looking at your first post I'm not sure whether this is an error from trying to use it or just that the paths don't match thiose given in the guide you are looking at.

    If that's the case, great! How do I go about configuring diffeomorphic? I cant find any guides on this anywhere

    I've not used it, and I don't know how it is initially set up (if it gets pointed to the application then that would be all that was needed).
