how is the best way to upload a model into Daz

mookiepoot000

hello im new to Daz
I downloaded a few models and every time I try to upload it I get a message saying im missing multiple files even tho all of the files are there Im just guessing I do not have the files located in the correct places? I have also downloaded pose files and they also do not read s there something I may be doing wrong?

I assume you mean load into Daz Studio, rather than upload to another system.

Which files are missing? If they have paths stating with data or /Runtime/Textures then you need to make sure those are in the content directory you are isntalling to, not in a sub-folder - you should not see the Runtime or data folders in the Content Library under Daz Studio Formats if theya re correctly installed.

Pose files (assuming tyiou mean that and not Poser files, for which the previous answer applies) need their target loaded and selected - the figure you are trying to pose.

 thank you for your reply sorry for my poor english 
the files my model has is "date" "people" and "runtime" and Ive tried just dragging and dropping the files into the daz 3d libray folder and making a whole new folder and adding it there but I still get the same error both ways 

"files listed below could not be found 
/data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/Female 8_1/Morphs/Rarestone/RNMinto8.1/CTRLRNMinto8.1.dsf

The Runtime and Data folders need to emrge with the existing Runtime and Data folders in the content directory (e.g. the My Daz 3D Library folder). Is that what you are doing?

I tried what you said I directly one file at a time moved them over to the My Daz 3D libary folder [all files in the data folder moved over to the data folder in the daz3d libary folder] and now the model shows up but im still getting an error for the textures  files and im still getting an error for the poses

Where are the textures now, starting from the drive letter, and what path is the error message looking for?

Is the figure you are trying to pose loaded into the scene and selected?

Where are you getting those models? Is it a legitimate seller or some shady place? Be careful. Rarestone Minto used to be sold in the Daz store, but the vendor has left Daz.
