um…. i dont think so, as im not sure what you mean by point to? lol, sorry
When you open up Poser, there should be an icon like this in the library:
http://screencast.com/t/vLv3lFagjSfe
Click on that icon (a folder with a + and a person on it), and add the DS directory that you installed Genesis Starter Essentials TRX.
According to the User Guide wiki, Poser needs that directory, and the directory that you installed Genesis Starter Essentials Poser to, added to the Poser library. Poser’s got to know where to find stuff, too! :D
i tried the icon pointed it to my library in documents/daz3d/studio, no change still invisable
Thanks, no the view port move fine with rotations and everything so it have nothing to do with open gl , it was all good before the last installation , in the last 14 years that is the slowest poser view port ever ,, but only if I use genesis , changing the view mode to anything else will not change the fact that it is drag , moving hand from one point to another take 4-5 sec even if the resolution is on zero , but when I move with the camera everything run fast as usual so i guess it is the genesis issue only while posing , when I bend with the sliders it getting much faster . Usual I use wire-frame but not when I posing , it is not big deal I can live with it I am easy going
Think positively! Now you can Alt-Tab back and forth between your library and Poser, and you have even more screen space for the preview window!!! :D
If you really miss having your library always visible, there's an option in the External Library that says "Always on Top" that you can check, too.

Got a question, though. I haven't been having the slowdown problems, but then I primarily build in Lit Wireframe display mode. Does fiddling with your display settings help the slowdowns at all?
you should point to documents/daz3d/studio/my library/runtime
and you will see the new Runtime after in Poser, I made mine My Library
that why a lot made mistake I made mistake myself when I do it for the first time a long time ago , it confuse me at first .. but I removed it
I do content for Daz Studio so nobody use the studio4 folder anymore as it is out the range of the data and if you put anything there it will not works .. DS3 have the same path as now Ds4.0 and DS.4.5 just STUDIO :)
Yup, me too. No "Content" folders left. Just "My Library" in the Studio folder! Everything works as it should!
Yea, I know. :) Currently I don't have the equipment to create Mac programs though, unfortunately.
Ok. Did the procedure we talked about this morning and at least the morphs are showing up in the body. But I'm still having the same issue of the morphs not doing anything when dialed. The only thing I've noticed is that if the morphs have to do with scale then Genesis changes shape but in scale only. For example, the body child morph only succeeds in reducing the size of genesis to the proportions of a child. When I dial the M5 morph, Genesis' scale morphs to M5's size and that's it. When were the files last updated? I downloaded my files late Friday afternoon eastern time...
David
I never had DS on my current machine, so my path for the Daz library for my Genesis stuff is this:
C:/Users/Roger Bowen/My Documents/DAZ
It worked for me, I added that to the PP2012 library and it was all plain sailing after that.
DSON is all you install into PP2012.
Has a lack of clarity in the DSON guide been at fault, or have people not bothered to read it!?
CHEERS!
Oh I've read it. And to me it's clear as mud.
David
You're not wrong, it did take me a morning to work it out, I got so engrossed I forgot I was supposed to be going out and had missed my bus!
Not having installed the core files did cause a bit of head scratching! I'm NOT going to be amused if that sale does end today as DSON was rather sprung on me and I hadn't budgeted for any Genesis content.
I'm getting V5 first so I'll see how much she bemuses me. Do you not also need to have the Genesis Evolution morphs installed?
CHEERS!
Of that I'm not sure. I had assumed that since I have M3, M4, M5 and V3, V4 already installed that they would work. Apparently not. All that happens is the scale changes. Do I need to have the evolution morphs???
David
The Studio folder has always contained the My Library fokder for content - the Studio 4 folder is the default location for the render library.
Think positively! Now you can Alt-Tab back and forth between your library and Poser, and you have even more screen space for the preview window!!! :D

Got a question, though. I haven't been having the slowdown problems, but then I primarily build in Lit Wireframe display mode. Does fiddling with your display settings help the slowdowns at all?Could you try setting Sub-D to -1 while you are posing or moving around the viewport. And set it to a higher level when you are ready to render. This might improve your experience.
I'm still not understanding why the morphs arent working. They worked in Studio...
David
the problem is that most people read the read me installation after they installed , I checked it out in case to see if I did good , and the read me documentation was confused and not straight to the point., I did not had any issues with as I made DS content to often knowing where go what .
It is not restricted where you install the Core and the starter kit as long the directory is writable and both are in the same main folder
but if you want that your DS content work with that you need to install it in the same My Library as the DS genesis content you own
and if still not working then I have no idea what are you doing , it would be also recommend to clean the cache from the previews stuff that was not working
you can find it under Documents/ Daz 3D/studio/My Library / Runtime / DSON that is where the all obj generated by DSON go when you load stuff for the first time in Poser and you reload them next time you add something to the scene
Of that I'm not sure. I had assumed that since I have M3, M4, M5 and V3, V4 already installed that they would work. Apparently not. All that happens is the scale changes. Do I need to have the evolution morphs???
David
Mmm, the specs for M5 don't say anything about them.
This is what he comes with:
Michael 5 Full Body Morph
Michael 5 Head Morph
Michael 5 Heroic Additive Morph
Michael 5 Smooth Additive Morph
Michael 5 Custom UV Set
And you say that moving the slider doesn't change anything. Hmm, odd...
Best check your installation paths. M5 shouldn't be in your Poser Runtime.
CHEERS!
If you go to documents/daz3d/studio/My Library/Data/DAZ 3D/Genesis\Base in the file browser (Winbdows Explorer or Mac Finder) do you a file called Genesis or Genesis.dsf?
Edited to correct path, thanks to GRFK DSGN Unlimited
it is not open gl issue I can spin 19. million poly without issue , the problem is while posing genesis and only anything else works just fine ..each time you change pose a new obj is generated and it seems like that is the issue as it is to slow , it was the same before in DS 4.0 everyone was thinking what is going on with graphic cards but that was internal issue .and genesis so it may be the same , no big deal actually .. I just mentioned that just in case

Could you try setting Sub-D to -1 while you are posing or moving around the viewport. And set it to a higher level when you are ready to render. This might improve your experience.And I've cleaned that several times and still the morphs do not work.
My content is installed here:
C:\Users\dthoward64\My Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library
The DSON importer is installed here:
I:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 9
The runtime that DSON uses to do it's "auto-adapt" stuff is:
I:\Runtime
My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, My Poser 9 is 32-bit so therefore I downloaded and installed the 32-bit version.
So why is this not working?
David
If you go to documents/daz3d/studio/My Library/Data?DAZ 3D/Genesis in the file browser (Winbdows Explorer or Mac Finder) do you a file called Genesis or Genesis.dsf?
Mine is located in C:\users\dthoward64\documents\daz3d\studio\My Library\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis\base\

CHEERS!
He's not. He's in my Studio content folder. The full body morph is what shows up in the morph dials of Poser under "actor".

Mine is located in C:\users\dthoward64\documents\daz3d\studio\My Library\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis\base\

Thanks, fixed my post.
1) I think the root of the "I" drive is going to be a mess. Probably I:\GenesisPoser would be a better plce to put your companion files. The runtime would reside inside of that rather than the root of your drive.
2) Did you add the I: drive to poser? That's where your runtime is now.
3) Since you have your companion files and your genesis content in two places, maybe try adding the "My Library" into poser (you wouldn't pull content from it, but maybe Poser doesn't know where to find the actual genesis content.
Could this bit be causing problems!?:
"The runtime that DSON uses to do it’s “auto-adapt” stuff is:
I:\Runtime"
Shouldn't that be the same as where it's installed!?
My DSON is installed in C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser Pro 2012\
and my Genesis is here:
C:\Users\Roger Bowen\My Documents\DAZ
Using the Add Library button, I added the above library into PP2012 and DSON worked.
Nope not it. All runtimes are mapped in Poser. Poser is able to bring in Genesis fine. Although it keeps asking me for the location of the DSON generated OBJ everytime I load Genesis into a scene.
David
C:\Users\dthoward64\My Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\Runtime
that where your runtime should be as you have DS installed there with all the content and not what you wrote
and that is the issue the core need to go into Runtime , if this is out of the My Library it will not works
Well, if there wasn't a problem then it wouldn't ask that question. I'd consider uninstalling everything and then put it back but paying attention to the install paths.
CHEERS!
No, content should be installed to the folder that holds the Runtime folder rather than to the Runtime folder itself - otherwise you'll end upo with Runtime\Runtime in your path.
because you installed it wrong , how many time I type already where the content should go in your case and not in separate Runtimes you create conflict and that may the the issue of wrong installation from your part
instillation go into My Library and the plugin only go into Poser if you keep it this way you are good
you need to do that as your all DS content is already pre installed like m5 or V5 and u need to follow the path
copy the runtime and put it into DAZ3D/studio/My Library and should all works just fine
Yeah, that was sort of what I did.
I think the complications have come about because the instructions for DSON were geared towards those of us that didn't have DS.
DS users following that would have been confused.
CHEERS!
