Hi all,

I have two problems and I hpe that someone can help me.

First:

What could be the problem if a bought and downloaded product don't show up in PoserPro 2010 and Daz Studio?

Second:

Where could I find a tutorial that shows me how to convert poser pz2 files and textures in Daz Studio ds files. I need them to show up in the library in Daz Studio. I searched on Internet, but couldn't find any tuto. Would there be somebody outside who could explain me the process or tell me about a site where they show it?

Thanks so much for your help !!!

First...Installed to incorrect folder? Not compatible?

Second...Noob..One of the pros will help you I'm sure

Your second question

You should be able to import a PZ2 file into DAZ then save it as a scene.  I have tried it with a PZ3 file and DAZ4 Pro and it works, although the imported V3 figure was about 20% larger than the Genesis figure. It will be important to have the paths to the Poser directories set up correctly in DAZ. If not, you may have to locate meshes and textures manually, which will be a bit tedious.

Hope this helps

If it doesn't show up in PP or DS, it's probably in the wrong folder.  If it's a product from DAZ 3D in an installer, install to the folder CONTAINING the Runtime folder, e.g. DocumentsDAZ 3DMy Library.  If it's a .zip, merge the Runtime folder with the one in your content folder; if the .zip has a Content or My Library folder, merge what's UNDER that folder with the folders UNDER your content folder.

If you load a .pz2 in DS you can save it as a Pose Preset, Material Preset, or Character Preset.  You should save it in a DAZ Studio Format content folder (i.e. NOT under Runtime).  If you want it to be in the Runtime folder with your .pz2 file it needs to have the exact same filename and be in the same folder as the .pz2 file.  DS will display the .pz2 with a scroll symbol in the upper left to indicate that it will load the DAZ Studio preset instead of the .pz2.

Make sure you are looking in Poser Formats>Folder you installed to for the content, in the Content Library pane (not Smart Content, unless the item came with metadata and you allowed it to be added to the database the first time you started DS after installing the content). That actually answers both of your questions, though DS reads only limited settings (essentially, the things supported by Poser Pro Pack) and skips the shader tree entirely.

Thanks to all for the help. I will install Daz studio and try this. I thought that there is a way to do ds files without the need of Daz studio.

Concerning the first question, I told the person to try to add the downloaded runtime in her library and see what happens, if they show up or not.
