Oh hey thanks. Now I can access the geo-graft tutorial and hammer out some stuff. I was looking for the forum archive but failed my Search roll...
I is mildly sad, though. My purchase (60s kitchen + Ren outfit) is still pending, even if the other purchase (Aidan + some 1.99 stuff) came through just fine. Not in a huge hurry, frankly, I got my hands full with other things, but it'd be nice. I have received confirmation mails, but then again, I run my own server and I have black- and whitelists out of wazoo. FYI: some have reported problems with installing downloaded content from the new store, I have been lucky, I s'pose, mine were perfectly intact.
Also, FYI: I found a cool feature from DS4.5! It has "Add push modifier" right below "Add smoothing modifier"! What it does? Well, apply it to, say, hair or clothes, and then you can manually jiggle the airspace between figure and clothes! AWESOME. So glad I managed to grab it before the site update.
All in all: I truly feel for DAZ Studio, knowing what kind of hell software changes can wreck; my own server upgrade resulted three sleepless nights, four days, and in the end, I solved it with money -- I bought a new NIC since I did not feel like retro-porting a NIC driver from an older system and fighting it some more, since 14 euros solved the problem. (By the way, it works much, much better now with the new NIC -- responses are notably faster. Eff you, NVidia, eff you and your embedded NICs.)
Now, hugs and kisses to everyone, users and DAZ people alike. This will get better. It may have a worse dip somewhere still, but it'll get better.
