I am using DAZStudio 4 pro installed on partition D
D:DAZStudio4 64 bits
also
D:DAZStudio4 (for version 32 bits)
And
D:DAZStudio3
I always try to install the new stuff from DAZ in
D:DAZStudio4 64 bitsMy Library
And from the beginning of DAZStudio i always save my scenes in
F:3ddata2daz studio scene

After the last update of DAZStudio i have tried to load some scenes saved before with genesis character with clothes and hair or V42 with clothes and hair and i got error message (see screen capture for examples)
Sometime nothing is loaded ,sometime the character is loaded but without cloth and hair

I don't know why

I change nothing in the localisation of all my files .I verify the content directory manager and all the pertinent localisation are there
The scene was loaded before why not now?
The log file just say it was unable to load the files associated to the scene

I am frustated about this situation and it was not the first time i have problem with contents in DAZStudio

k   i'm not sure wher your problem is but to me it sounds like there's like an issue with content searching and directorie allocation going on here .

sooo in my opinion first do a search to which drives you have your sontent directories in and any that you don t have in there delet them and fix it so if they aren't content creation runtimes that they aren't recognized seperatly as a runtime

once that is done then apply and double chedk your directory if it still don't show make sure you installed it by re extracting it if that's how you installed it that's the best first step bet that anyone will tell you to check no mjatter their usage

This was answered on the DAZ forum.

Yes someone have answered at DAZ forum but i still waiting for suggestion about solution to my problem

I have tried to modify the content directory(see the screen dump for two of these modifications) 
This change nothing i stiil got error message for some files which was loading without error before the last update at the beginning of december 

I have  also reinstalled  the last update of DAZStudio 4.0.3.19

Here also some extracts of one of the log file (the complete one is too big:

I have tried differents tests and conclude that may be something is wrong in this last version

One test i did is create another character from zero:load genesis base ,apply some morphs ,load some clothes from my poser runtime,try to put some hair from daz content (error could in find the file even if the icone is there) try to put the same hair model from my poser runtime(load ok and auto fit ok) ,save the scene,quit DS4,reload DS4,open the recent same saved file scene with genesis AND EVERYTHING WAS LOADED OK
WHY DS4 DON'T WANT TO LOAD SOME OF MY OLDER SCENES SAVED WITH GENESIS BEFORE THE UPDATE?

I think about to reinstall the version before this last update but finally conclude that it better for me to return to Poser pro 2012 and wait to next update before try again DS4 pro

Hello.

I had a problem like that in Studio 3 about data not found and then again in Daz Studio 4 when the old projects mesh loaded was a mess or didn`t open. It was fault of the DATA folder, needed to open projects in Studio 3 and 4. This means that you will have to keep the data folder from DS3 (or older data folder from ds4) in your DS4 content folder in order to open old projects.

If you are loading old complex projects from DS3, maybe you will find lots and lots of problems like me. I won`t buy DS4a or pro until I finish all the big projects.

About the content and lost data, I don`t know about your content if there is diference about the x32 or x64 because I use just one content folder to the x64 version of DS3a because I had a big problem with mutiple content folders, and then I tried a simple operation, I copied EVERYTHING then I "merged" into a single folder, quite easy task on windows. DS3 have found the DATA folder and then I could finally open my projects.

Maybe you can try that. I had to do that because Daz Studio created a DATA folder in each content folder I had, and then, when I chaged the order of the files in the content manager nothing was loading.

Good luck.

Thanks TiagoAndriotti for yours suggestions

I am sorry you have also similar problem

May be DAZ would be more attentive to this situation and explain more how to set contents

Well, trying help on daz forum is really frustrating. Nobody answer properly a question. Each 10 replies just 1 had really read the question and comes with a clear answer, the other 9 says just bullshit.

About the mesh problems, I tryed something in a Studio 4 pro version using my content in a Backup HD, and seems that it loads the same errors and mesh problems. Don`t buy it until everything work fine in the standard version with your current projects.  The only diference that I saw in Studio 3 and I could notice in Studio 4 from the standard and the advanced x64 is that in x64 you an load projects that require more than 4gb of ram.

Of course, this is in my case, I don`t often to use all the advanced features from DS3a, just the large memory factor (some projects take 6 or 8 gb in memory).

Good luck again :)

I have bought DAZStudio pro and was using bridge to Photoshop without problem until i meet the situation i explain in this thread

I think it is not normal that just after an update many of my older scenes was unable to load the contents associated with them

That is  the problem with DAZStudio ,,which i still think it is a good software with many features, we never know when it will refuse to load something you are sure they were there 

Never meet this situation with Poser (and i change ,regroup ,delete some files and  the system library reajust by itself to the changes i did ....don 't do that with DAZStudio it will be loss)

i see three thangs wrong...change to this

daz content:

should only contain-

daz4/my library folder

daz3/my library folder

create a scene folder for saves inside the content folder in these dir.s

poser content:

should contain

poser#/runtime

daz#/runtime

after you have added them this way, you will have to delete any saved scenes...

as they will not work.......create a new scene and save to the scene file i mentioned above... close studio then reopen and load the saved scene and see if it loads without an error..

those other import files can all go..........

the only thing that goes here is a folder with just obj files

its kinda pointless...

ps, all those data errors,..............

do you have more than one data folder??

if so you need to combine them....and the data folder is in the mylibrary folder not content.

did you delete any data folders? if so then you will have to re-install

those modifers for v4 are part of the install of the character..or morph paks...

Thanks SickenlySweete

I change my content manager library according your suggestions

I create a scenes folder inside My Library :put for trial some olders scene inside it ,still not loading completly,i will see for new scenes

But where i put it before, new scenes were ok I have put all my saved scenes  in F: 3ddata2daz studio scene from the beginning of DAZSTudio without problem until now So may that was not the problem

I have now only one data folder in My Library and never delete manually something inside this folder

In DAZStudio 3 there was a way to reconstruct completly content database (scanning all the folders) i didn't see this option now in version 4

old scene files will never work again, after moving or renaming anything in the files

As long as the scene was saved from the same major version of Ds (3, 4 etc.) you can rebuild a broken data folder by loading the original Poser versions of the stuff (models and morphs, textures don't matter) into a new scene and saving that to a temporary folder (that is, don't save it over an existing file - the scene file itself isn't needed and can be deleted after saving, it just forces DS to rebuild the native geometry files for that content).

Interesting idea !

I will try

Thanks
