Subject: Finding it hard as a "newbie"

So, I have been away from rendering since the version 4 figuers came out and I have always used poser, but have decided to use DS now. But I find it very hard to navigate on Daz's homepage and find the info I need, I find it much harder than learning DS and it is very frustrating! I don't know how to single out eg Aiko 4 in the serch on Daz's site, don't know how to single out any of the main characters on their site. Before I start purchasing new items, I want to make sure I know DS and I have only downloaded two figuers Aiko 3 and Aiko 4 and it is specially Aiko 4 I find it hard to find info about.

Does Aiko 4 share mesh with V4? And what is the different between Aiko 3 and Aiko 3LE

Not sure if I have posted in the right forum, but I guess an admin/mod will move it if not and I am sorry for the inconvenience if so.

Aiko 4 is the same mesh as V4 because she is a morph of the V4 base figure. Can't help you with an answer on Aiko 3. Be aware, DAZ is moving away from the older models and finding content will become harder over time.

If you download the Free Starter Essentials packs you will have the Base Genesis figures, these are the more currant figures the latest being G8Female

Thank you. Lets just hope that they will make it easier for a newbie to find things, and navigate, on their site in the future and get an idea how to start with the different items (starter packet that comes with DS is not a great intro to their shop).

Just put "A4" or "A3" in the search box at the top right of the screen and you can pull up all the items relating to those. Clothes get increasingly harder to fit with the earlier versions, with the V4 to A4 clothing look for the "Unimesh upgrade" items. A3 is pretty ancient but still has a large following among the anime set. The LE version as I recall is a lower resolution version but don't quote me on that, I can't swear to it.

Also I would wishlist the items and wait for a sale, they normally are not discounted and quite expensive off sale.

Clothing gets a lot easier to fit when you get to Genesis - any of them.

Daz Platinum Club is great for getting older V4 stuff. I went with G3F and some add-on products like Wear them All and Sickleyeild's SY Ultra Templates for Genesis 3 And G3F can wear all my V4 stuff. Sickleyeild has a tutorial for fitting shoes like heels over at deviant art and I think she did a youtube video so I can manually fit V4 shoes to Genesis 3 Female. The first thing to buy at Daz is a membership. Being a member here and Daz really does take this hobby from being too pricey to affordable.
