    Do you have the Genesis 3 Starter Essentials installed?

    Victoria 7 is a morph of the genesis 3 female base - and it looks like you don't have that installed. G3F starter essentials is free and in your product library; download and install it and things should look a lot better.

    How did you install V7 and the Starter Essentials?  DIM, Connect, manually?

    Can you post a screenshot of the Content Directory Manager with both the Daz and Poser formats expanded?

    You need to make sure that the DIM is installing to those listed or to list the one DIM is installing to...

  • Drecci GislaadtDrecci Gislaadt Posts: 60

    and how can i check that ?

    Simplest way is to make sure that the install location defined in DIM is added to your list of DAZ content folders in DS.

    I've seen that. I believe your issue is actually just the "Draw Settings". Tto the left of the "view selector" is a little sphere shaped icon. Click it and a drop down appears. Yours is probably set to "Solid Bounding Box". What you probably want is "Texture shaded".

  • Drecci GislaadtDrecci Gislaadt Posts: 60

    It was already on texture shaded

    And Victoria 6 is ok, see new image

    Image removed - please zoom to show only the head and shoulders or switch to smooth shaded view when taking a screen shot with a nude character.

    Yes I know your  setting is set as texture shaded ,,,at first pic,,

      then when,,about  genesis3female base,, it work?? 

    just confirm,,had you already  check log file ?  (I feel it usually show good hint,,about these problem,,)

    (I know,, these things frastrate you,, but after all,, there should be reason,, )

    i found Mis Genesis 3 here :

    c/users/public/documents/My DAZ 3D Library

     

    I have the same result with Genesis female base

     

    The log file, huh

     

    maybe it is this :

    Product 21630-1:Genesis 3 Female Starter Essentials has invalid tag: CloudAvailable

    If you have no plan to use DAZ Connect,,

    after confirm you have no package installed by DAZ connect,(eg you happen to install   by DAZ connect too,,then re-install it by DIM etc,,)

      I may recommend,, once un-install genesis3starterEssential,by DIM, and delete the package,

    then download ,install it  again by DIM,,because,I feel,, nowdays in daz big sale,, ,, then DIM sometimes can not donwlaod full package,, by net problem,,  you may only need re-dowonload and install genesis3Female starter Essential kit

     

    to confrim it,, if you drug and drop, from your DIM installed directory,, genesis3female.duf (from your PC file exploler) it work?

    the path is,, (your DIm install Directory)/people/Genesis3Female,, then you may find genesis3female.duf.

    and you need genesis3female.dsf (it include mesh-data) 

     (your DIm install Directory)\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 3\Female  you need to find genesis3female.dsf .

    if it not work,,or you can not find, dsf,,, I believe, the package (downloaded) are broken.  anyway hope you remove the problem sad

    I think but am not sure it must be that you installed Genesis 3 Essentials to a different place that is not configured correctly so DAZ Studio can't find it. I'm surprised DAZ Studio does not complain. You will need to re-install Genesis 3 Female Essentials (and maybe other packages installed to the wrong place too) to the correct place after your path names are corrected. I had the same blocky character problem as you until i installed Genesis 3 Female Essentials correctly.

    I attach 3 screen shots to show all the paths used by the DIM and one for the DAZ Studio Content Manager. You are interested that the path names are the same for the DIM Installation and the DAZ Studio Content Directry Manager for at least DAZ Studio Formats entry and one Poser Formats entry. You can still add other content paths that are different in the DAZ Studio Content Directory Manager later but not the DIM Installation location. It always only uses one path for content. The DAZ Studio Content Directory Manager DAZ Connect Data however can be at another path and it still work correctly.

    Hmm, the path in DS is C:\Users... but the path in your screenshot is C:\uiltisateurs... I wonder if that is the issue - DS is suing the English folder names literally, not expanding them to the local path name. Do you have a folder called C:\Users\Public on your system, and does it contain the Genesis 2 Female file that are working?

    Is not "uiltisateurs" is  label name of "Users" ?  then when check the property of the Directory,, usually it show as "users" I believe. (or  In MS-DOS)

    I feel,, maybe the directory name  under the "user" seems  more important,,,  (account name)  I feel it may need to be "english",,

    which OP seems set as first directory for daz studio and Poser Contents in directory manager,,,, it is not English letter,, I felt,,

    (then I change User name before,, as English letter,,)

     

    Then If I need to change "Users" directory labell as English letter,,, then if it cause problem,,,

    I can not use "ユーザー”/(My account)/ appdata/roaming/DAZ3D directory,,

    If it cause trouble,, how I can change it? @@;?     it is reason,, for problem?

    "Utilisateurs" is indeed French for "Users", but remember, computers are stupid. They don't know either language, they just look for the string of letters you give them.

    It doesn't matter whether it's in English, as long as the path specified in Daz Studio exactly matches the path in your file system.

    Right...it is the actual string of charcaters that matters (and whether or not the OS understands a particular character set...but if using UTF-8 encoding, then that shouldn't be a problem).
