I bought the new Ghost Light product called "Iray Ghost Light Kit One" today (see attachment) and found that when installed through DIM it shows up in Products through DS, but not in Smart Content. When I select it in "Content Library" and ask to see it in Smart Content I can't find it. Does anyone know what's up with that?

    Interesting. I hope the creators of this product are reading this. Since the product seemed accessible from "Content Library," but not "Smart Content" I decided to select "Create Catagory From" after left-clicking this product in Content Libray. Then I selected "Lights" and again "Light Sets" as destinations. Bingo. There are now Smart Content selections for me. What does this mean? The creators of this product simply did not set Smart Content destinations.

    It should already be a product, what might be lacking would be category or compatibility settings. Mine is isntalled through Connect, it has files in Materials, Props, and Shaders

    Hi. I did install it into Smart Content after I chose "Create Catagory From" and left-clicking the Library Content reference-- then chose the "Lights" category to place it in. I don't see any Prop files though. Here's what I got when I selected the "Light" tab within the product (see attachment). Do YOU have any green-colored prop files? Everything I have in all tabs is colored yellow, like Materials usually is.

    Those are props, though - that is how the lights load.

    Thanks for the verification on that. These two snapshots show how I added this from "Library" to "Smart Content."

    FYI: I just found the same problem with SKU 83729 "Clean Bark Shaders," if someone wants to know. I did try re-installing, but it wasn't added anywhere in Smart Content, only Content Library. I added it myself, using the process above.
