I recently added a character for Genesis 8 female I purchased at Rendo. I followed the exact directions to load the character from the vendors Read Me. Now... the data is in the correct folders, but I can find no hint of the new character, (maps or morphs) anywhere in the DS 4.10 interface. I have been working for three days now, trying to find it. No dice. I have written the vendor, but he/she has not bothered to reply to my query. Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? Thanks for any and all help. I've tried most all the tutorials, but most all are regarding Genesis 2 in Daz3. Most want to tell you how the Daz Studio platform is built. You can't find an answer for a simple question like mine. It's monumentally frustrating.

Rendo figures usually appear under the Content Library tab, then in the file tree, under Daz Studio Content>My Library>People>Genesis 8 Female>Characters.

Thanks Deacon. That helped. I'm still a Daz Newbie, being normally a Poser user. I feel the Poser interface is much more intuitive and easy to learn. Daz has a considerable learning curve. But Poser seems to be lagging behind a bit. Plus, all the latest Genesis stuff is virtually useless in Poser. Thanks again!

I use the content library exclusively, I really don't like smart content. Most of the items sold on Rendo will not show up under smart content, you can make the database entries for them if you desire, I find it a complete waste of time myself, others of course disagree. To each their own. The nice thing about DAZ Studio though is it allows you to arrange your content library anyway you want it. As it gets bigger that's a big help, you can move characters and clothes around into catagories where you can find them again easily. You can do that to the Poser side of the house also, for example you can put the clothes, textures, and for the clothes if any in the same place and not have to go searching through characters then props then Poses to find them all. Same thing with hair and textures, etc.

I was the other way around. I started using both DAZ and Poser at the same time (in 2010). I found DAZ Studio much easier to learn than Poser which is why I stopped using it..

Thanks, Diogenes. I began in Poser 4 in 2004. It came to me pretty easy and the interface was, as I mentioned, very intuitive. I gradually tried Bryce, Vue 6, and Carrara. All were better render engines than Poser (or early Daz) but each had specific issues. It just seems Daz has become so hard to maneuver around in. I'm sure it takes a few months to be comfortable with the basic operations. Most of what I've discovered has been by accident. Most people say, "Use the tutorials". It just seems most of the tutorials use the older versions, or if they are newer, they seem to assume you are familiar with all the terms and with the interface. It's similar to what I mentioned above. You can ask some people what time it is, and they wanna tell you how to build a watch. I guess my patience is short. Someone needs to write a book called 'Daz4 for Dummies. Thanks!
