    I broke it up with Gescon and blew it apart with Fisio!

    The story is, if you spend too much time watching videos, you will miss the excitement right outside your window.

    no probs... the download link now works for a manual install but the DiM install fails

    thanks for the great prop @Alberto yes

    Thank you, @Alberto!  So much more than a lump of coal, but that gives me some ideas as well.  yes    I like the separate surfaces to serve as ground planes.  Is a very useful addition to my astronomical collection.  Regarding installation: DIM works for the Daz Studio files, and now the Carrara files appear in the manual download link.  DIM still asks for a program location when installing the Carrara file.  DIM does not specify the program that needs to be located.  DIM will not accept Carrara location as the missing folder.  But I was still able to install manually for Carrara.

    I just checked and DS and Carrara installation files are available for DIM

    Great.  Were you able to actually install the Carrara file through DIM?  My DIM lists the Carrara file but prompts for a necessary program location, but does not say which program (I assume Carrara), and then does not accept my Carrara location to continue.

    EDIT:  The manual install works, so I have Bennu the asteroid and its cool subproducts like the landscape groundplane.  yes

    dim failure doesnt tell me the file it needs.jpg

    Did you install Carrarta through your DIM?

     

    If not then add it to your program paths. See attached.

    Yes, my Carrara is installed through DIM, and DIM knows my Carrara location, and I double checked to make sure my installation was pointed at Carrara for Bennu.  Still got the error.

    yy01 yes my dim pointed to my carrara.jpg

    Same here; but not too much of a problem for me because I rarely use Carrara.

    OK. You are correct I could NOT install. Same error.

     

    I looked at the install Ca dsx file and it seems ok

     

    Maybe Carrara is too advanced to accept loads of coal. :-)

    I've had the same issue with this asteroid and at least one other space object like it.  The Daz version installed fine, the Carrara one complained like the above and didn't install. I don't really use Carrara, so those failing to install is not really important to me.  Just weird.

    They fixed the Carrara installer. 

    It works now.
