Manually installing content to Daz 4.9?

gwennovynne

Sorry for all the questions lately, but I recently switched from another program to Daz and adjusting to it's somewhat difficult! :) I've looked for this question but can't seem to find it so I may as well ask: How do I install my content manually into the program? I have things I'm moving from another computer and I'm using the runtime/content folder type method. A lot of it is from places like Renderosity so I can't just "install manager" my way into it. Whenever I go to the regular Daz 3d/ Studio folder on my computer, the file inside is My Daz Connect Library so I'm not quite sure what to do there?  Thanks in advance!

Hi.. if you show pic of  current  " Content library" structure,of DS , and "Content DIrectroy manager",,,it may help lot to suggest how to manage your runtimes.

and Did  your packages  include, "contents" directory, underr "runtime"??  because it seem old package I think. 

(I know,, even though there is "contents" directory under "runtime",, DS seems  load it,, but may better,, copy sub-folders of "Contents"

then paste them  Under the "runtime", I keep there is no "contents"  (name of directory) , under runtime,, or DS library.

 

Then,, If you have already "runtime" directories which installed contents, in other PC,

and you have many contents which can not install by DIM or DAZ connect,,

 I suggest to  make new Library (root  directory for contents) which are not offered by DAZ.

eg,, "Renderosity Library",, "share 4G Library"   or I may only make  one "Non DAZ Libarary"  then copy and paste  "runtime", under the Library.

(each root Library  need one runtime directory)

 after that,, add  these root directories = "library",  by DS Directory manager,, for Poser Format  and DAZ studio Format  root Directory.

 

if you get new package,, you simply copy "runtime",, then paste it under  these root  library,,,   unfortunately,,

I am not   poser user ,,then do not know clear the detail of difference,,  you may better  ask more detail  of your case then wait answer,, .. (because some contents may not work in daz studio)

I now serch some tutoriall,, then found,, yes,, it is stil useful,, and living,,
