Hi,

I'm having problems trying to find the mat. options for P3D Art's Look O Love when I open/start up my Daz program and the vendor suggested that I ask in here for help. 

I am still learning about Daz Studio, so I am not too sure where else to look for the mats
or how to put them in the correct place manually.

When I open Explorer and then the Daz folder on my computer this is the path I take.

Daz/Studio/Content/Runtime/Libraries/Materials
P3D Art / Look O Love = Jewels + Specs  mc6 + png + metal + base (this is okay)

Daz/Studio/Content/Runtime/Textures
P3D Art / Look O love = Lol.Reflection.jpg  (this is okay)

But when I actually open up and begin to use Daz and search for new content the only items I can find
are in the Props, nothing else is showing up.  I've searched and searched, unzipped the file again, rebooted Daz, searched for new content and still no joy with the mats.

The path I take when unzipping a file into Daz is:  Program Files/Daz/Studio/Content
and everything is usually put in place for me. 

Usually when I look in my textures folder (using explorer) the mat files for items are there, but the only thing showing up for Look O Love is the Reflection jpg. file.

I'm still using Daz 2.3, tried 4.7 but just can't use it, stresses me out too much...lol

I hope someone can help me.

Looks like the read me for this product is for automatic Poser install. Looks like you may

have to install each file individually.. Don't use Daz any longer so maybe someone else

can help more.

Thanks anyway vitachick, I appreciate you having a look at this for me.

DS 2.3 does not see the Poser Materials Library or .mc6 files.  You would need to convert them to .pz2 files and move them to the Pose library.

Thank you Mischamcm.

How do I convert the files?

Is there a reason you have not moved up to latest Studio version?  It can see Material library folder but there is no guarantee that the Poser mats will look good in Studio.

Copy the folder with the mats from Runtime:Libraries:Materials to Runtime:Libraries:Pose.

Rename the .mc6 files to .pz2

Open each .pz2 in a text editor.  I use Notepad++, which can edit multiple files and let you make global changes in all of them.  The 6th line in each will read:

mtlCollection

Change that line to read:

figure

Save the files and start DS, and it will now be able to see them.

Thank you so much for this information I will give it a go.

Hi mishamcm,
I managed to convert the files as per your instructions and ds can now see them, unfortunately when I click on file to change the mat nothing happens.
