Subject: adding G8F stuff to G3F


goofygrape ( ) posted Tue, 31 August 2021 at 12:59 AM · edited Thu, 28 November 2024 at 9:24 PM

is there a way to use G8F stuff I mean all things to G3F? as my G8f never comes up so you can use her,I would like to use some things (skin clothes etc)

I idea is to use G8f hair, clothes, skin from other characters, and mostly that kind of arrangement.

I have no clue but have you tried to figure out why she don't come up? I'm still new to DS and have had an awful time finding stuff. G8 icons are in many folders but not all of them will bring up your character. Make sure your screen looks like this. Make sure you are on the Content Library, click on the drop down arrow for Products, and click on the drop down arrow for G. When you double click on the Genesis 8 Basic Female Actor, she should come up. Last night I looked for 10 min for some hair mats because the product is in smart content as the object and content for the mats. Not what you wanted but I hope it helps. G8Finder2.JPG

I think skin won't work because of different UV maps. Hair and clothing work via the Auto-Fit tool. Or you use dForce clothing/hair. Have you already asked in the forums on the DAZ3D site?

eblank; skin I can figure, some hair and clothing does work, and no I have not gone to the DAZ3D site. I'll do so ASAP tho Thank You

No do not make sure your screen looks like that. The Products and Category option in the Content Library are database driven so not all that useful. If you cannot locate G8F under the DAZ Studio Formats it is not installed properly.

jestmart ; I know where G8f is it just won't open or show up in the studio, studio starts to open the files but stops midway then just stops looking. Thank's

Your screenshot doesn't show the "Smart Content" tab. Go to the top of the DAZ window, pull down from Window all the way down, and click on Smart Content.  A panel will snap to your window. Nothing else will go away. This will add the tab to your work panel. That makes it a whole lot easier to find the basic figures.  Learning how to use Smart Content will not be hard. It will connect related materials by different artists for the same product if you check the little box lower left of the Smart Content tab "Filter by Context". However, if you cannot find something you know you have, un-check the little box "Filter by Context" to bring up your full list of Categories. Another thing is, when you select a product, and then right click and in the pop up menu, either select "Go to File Location",  which is sooooo much easier then trawling though Content. And one more tool will help. Open up the DIM or DAZ Install Manager. Select "Installed" and in the search box put Geneis 8 female. If it was installed, you will see in the box below the listing where it went!  I use that tip all the time!

Also, I quit battling the scripts to get G8 stuff on G3. I like my G3 Ladies, but I like G8 stuff. So I bought (at the other place) the product called "Victoria 7 for Victoria 8".  This applies the morph of V7 aka G3 to Victoria 8 aka G8 with the UVs. It's current on sale. I highly recommend it a a fast easy way around autofit.

Sorry, my edit turned out as a second entry-this is the full post.Your screenshot doesn't show the "Smart Content" tab. Go to the top of the DAZ window, pull down from Window all the way down, and click on Smart Content.  A panel will snap to your window. Nothing else will go away. This will add the tab to your work panel. That makes it a whole lot easier to find the basic figures.  Learning how to use Smart Content will not be hard.

Another thing is, when you select a product, and then right click and in the pop up menu, either select "Go to File Location",  which is sooooo much easier then trawling though Content. . You can search by Product, or by file (each item in a product). You can be in Content and right click that product and send to Smart Content. This is useful to have only the products you use most often and keep the less used in Content for storage.

And one more tool will help! Open up the DIM or DAZ Install Manager. Select "Installed" and in the search box put Genesis 8 female. If it was installed, you will see in the box below the listing where it went!  I use that tip all the time! If all else fails, uninstall the Genesis 8 Essentials with the DIM, and then it will be in the uninstalled tab, so click on that and Install again. That should go right.  I don't mix DAZ Connect with DIM. DAZ Connect drove me crazy. It's a different folder! The extra step of opening the DIM is well worth your time in just getting the product where DAZ can find it.
