Is there any script/program that i could use to install my content that I've downloaded over the years from my network drive into daz studio with just a few clicks insted of manualy running the install exe as this takes over a week to do as the amount of models is over 50gb

 

thanks in advance

ps or is it possable to do this in the install manager

Yes, this is precisely the sort of thing Install Manager (and DAZ Connectin 4.9) are meant to handle.

Ah, I didn't realise it was third-party content.I think there have been attempts at such scripts, but they can have problems as there is a lot of variation in how the zips are structured.

I have a question. I am new to Daz as a whole process of artwork, and lost, am I. Ha, I recently down loaded Daz3d studio 4.9, and install manger. After a few days of looking around the program, I got brave and bought model number "8862 Laci love", and fallowed all the new user paths for the down load and installer paths.

She does not show up in (all/products) in smart content, nore does she show up in content lib. I went to (help) and fallowed the instructions, and reinstalled the download, reopened Daz 3d studio after that, found her, right clicked on her and redone the DM content, all/products, as I was told to do in (help).

Still no Laci, but, I do have the file on her in Daz3d studio, I found it. I went to "search" while in content lib, and there she is at the bottom. When I dubble click on her, or any of her 20 out of 20 items, nothing go's into scene. What do I have to do next, to open this model in studio?

How about a screen shot of your Content Directory paths. I've attached shots of what I mean. Then we can go from there.

Laci requires V4.  Do you own Victoria 4 as well?  If you look at the product page, it will show a 'compatible figures' line (a line that lists what a character may require to be used.)  Much like the "required products" line for expansion packs and texture packs.

A lot of 'characters' are simply morphs that are applied to another figure.  You have to own the base figure to use them.  Unlike Genesis, Genesis 2 Male/Female, and Genesis 3 Male/Female, Victoria 4 isn't 'included' with DAZ Studio.

As a beginner, you might want to stick to characters that are compatible with the included figures (Genesis, Genesis2M/F, Genesis3M/F) to start with, maybe even the ones that come with DAZ Studio or are available as Freebies, until you get the hang of how it works.
