    I have looked back and seen some people being helped here, and obviously if I am missing what they're getting at, then I must be stupid because as we know DAZ doesn't make mistakes or give muddy confusing instruction, it's the end users who make the mistake.

    By the way the metadata question IS a DAZ Studio question not a Poser question. I don't bother with metadata normally but appearently it is something that is needed for the next step in the tutorial and it is the DAZ Studio metadata that is needing updated.

    Do not take anything in the Stupid Thread serious. Yes we help and I'm sure if we could we would. I'm also another none Meatadata user so I'm a bit lost about this stuff as well. As a Budding content creator I'm going to have to learn this stuff but I have not gotten that far yet

    We also have a way of trying to make anything in the thread a bit stupid even when we do help, which is kinda stupid. See?

    No author listed, but it is in the DAZ Documentation center and it is where they point people for the conversions. People are doing it, I've seen people talk about how easy it is. And so far it has been. Until this point.

    Sorry, Sunfire. You could try starting a new thread in the Daz Studio Forum. Then if no one can answer your question it could mean that no one else knows, not that you're being ignored.
    And you might get your answer in a new thread that isn't buried inside a large thread where it can be overlooked.

    Cridgit seems to be the metadata guru. http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/7542/

    And yes I think someone was probably messing with you to point you to this thread. It does occasionally have some serious moments, but is not renowned for them. :coolsmirk:

    Since I am not getting an answer in the DSON thread, I was pointed here as there's some nice helpful people here who might be able to help me, or at least direct me in the right direction to GET the answer.

    In the conversion tutorials to make non .duf file types .duf files and then make the Poser Companion File, I have found something that leaves me wondering exactly what they mean.

    In the converting to the .duf file type, they instruct you to save the file to the folder where the older file is located and then delete the old file without deleting the png file.

    Then in the next tutorial the one for making the Poser Companion files, I see this:

    Step 2 : Update Metadata

    Make sure to update the Metadata by removing the old files from the product and adding the new ones.

    Metadata standards have changed recently, so this is the right time to update the Metadata to reflect these new standards.

    What does this mean exactly? Does this refer to the saving of the .duf file to the directory and the deletion of the older file? Or what? I'd really like some clarification and better instruction as to what this really means. So far it's the only bit of instruction that leaves me confused as to what it means.

    Sorry, Sunfire, just saw this. That part of the instructions is really for the content creators or DAZ QA doing conversions -- if you don't use the metadata yourself, you don't need to bother with it.

    But it says that the script that makes the companion file needs it to determine where to put things. So is that not really the case?

    yes, I believe you CAN say FART on the forum, just do not follow through with a P%#s and s%#t!

    Well it would appear that jokes about that aspect of the human digestive system have been around since the 5th century, with Aristophanes writing 2 plays which use this. Chaucer also uses them in the Millers tale. The word itself is one of the oldest words in the English vocabulary.

    So a fart is derived from a farthing? When I was thinking of farthing, I remember that poem. I think I got it from a movie that mentioned it.

    Wow wendy, that was really well done! Such a clean animation, everything flowed very nicely and no poke throughs. The soundtrack was even rather pleasantly mixed with the visuals. Well done *thumbs up*

    Now onto other matters...

    ...here's something really stoopid:

    Click on the link to report issues with the website on the Daz help page and you get a 404 error.

    I'm' tired of dealing with the bleedin' 20 minute timeout using the Store instead of the Forums login.

    ...and now I can't even submit a support ticket on the issue because access to the bug tracker site is borked.

    ...talk about recursive stoopidity.

    Anyone who knows if the Monk Robes for M4 has been updated? I used the transfer utility to convert it to genesis, and some of the polygons on the right arm is missing. I couldn't find anything that reversed this. And the ropes are 'broken', meaning they seems to have morphs applied to them that pulls them into the robe in the middle parts of the rope, but not the ends. Renders added for reference.
