Well... past weekend I merged my content from folders Daz3, Daz4 and Daz 4.5 into one seperate folder C:3D-Content and I mirrored the 60GB folder onto my other (old) Vista 32bit pc.

Then took a deep breath, a Xanax, a glas of white wine (2 actually) and opened up Daz4.5 very well knowing my content database would be a mess.

..it was..

One of the options of the content database is to change the relative path where content is. Did it work? Yeah, it did for almost 5% of my content. All other folders in my manually made structure were empty...

So now I move and categorize each folder from DazContent one by one to my (understandable) folder structure.

The nice thing is that .duf scenes load perfectly fine and when I call Reality all I have to do (for some items) is 'Reload Daz textures' to make it work in Luxrender.

But since you guys won't look at re-runs of old scenes I also want to make new scenes.. :P

Don't expect anything new soon since I will be categorising my content for the next month or so.. sigh I knew something like this was going to happen but my scattered content needed to be centralized 'one day'.

Why I need my old pc besides back-up reasons? Cuz Daz4.5 still crashes on my Win7 64 bit when using 'Dynamic Clothing > Drape'. If that happens I need to re-boot my pc to make it work again -sometimes-. My old pc drapes just fine... (Also Daz4.5).

taking sip from prosecco where was I? Oh yeah.. select, move, categorize.. select move categorize...
