So, I never thought I'd do this, but I'm thinking of buying the converter and giving this a shot.
I have Daz Studio 4 running smoothly, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how it's supposed to load content that was installed into a Poser external runtime configuration.
Do I have to reinstall everything that I might want to use in DS to convert in a format it can read? I haven't bothered to install all those separate ds metadata files, and the thought of downloading them all again strikes fear into my heart. Would I need to reinstall all of this content into Daz content folders?
Is there no way to tell it to look in Poser runtimes?
During installation it asked where my Daz content folders would be, so I gave it a folder location that is not the same as my Poser runtimes because I don't want to Daz installers, in future, to decide to install into those folders using the content folder structure that is unique to Daz. But is that the price I have to pay?
Confused. Is there somewhere online that explains all this in a non-video format? I can't use videos at the moment (no sound). So far everything Ive found assumes I just want to install according to default Daz format. The answers and tuts I
ve found don`t seem geared at all to a Poser user with a mass of pre-installed content in Poser runtimes.
ETA: Nevermind. I worked out, as soon as I figured out, by doing a lot of frantic random clicking, what a "container" was in Daz parlance, the tooltips made a lot more sense.
