This is SO very hard!
So many beautiful entries!!

Best of luck to everyone!

Generally, there will be the D|S Content folder and a Runtime folder for poser items and along side that. 

My folder locations are 
DAZ>Studio>Content>Content  for D|S items and 
DAZ>Studio>Content>Runtime for Poser

Though I load both types of files to the DAZ>Studio>Content path

Some tiles I've found (mostly with freebies) will load to the content folder, but you will have to manually put them where they belong (IE, they're either stuck all in one folder that doesn't have a proper path, or they're not in a folder at all and make a big mess). So it can take some patience to organize your folders...However, as GKDantas already stated, you can have as many Content folders as you like/need to organize your stuff, just point your Winzip programs to the riht locations and make sure your D|S locations are set properly. 

Quote - I think I understand.  A texture map over a coat or dress that is the correct length.  But how do I get rid of the parts that are not needed?

That would depend on the coat or dress you used. For some, you could simply lower the opacity of the unnecessary parts so that they didn't show.

BATLAB had a free sweater a while ago that was very nice, but I don't know if that is offered anymore on his site.

I think you may have better luck retexturing a dress or coat to suit your needs.

Bice has some beautiful woll materials in the FreeStuff that I have found to be very useful for that :)

Well, Firstly, I want to thank you for trying to help. In the end I still don't know what caused the problem.. I ended up having to reset the computer back to factory settings and lost the files that I had been working on to some sort of corruption. 

I decided not to reinstall a standalone 3delight and left the DAZ engine as it was, and so far have't had any issues with the program at all.

The only difference I can see now is that I'm prompted to install twice for every file shrug

nods

I'm going to try to load them on another computer and see if the files at least still work.

When I backed up my folder, I backed up the entire content folder including the Data files, so that the geometries would remain intact. 

I don;t know what's causing the problem exactly, so I don't know what's missing... And the bug report people aren't replying to me (again - which is why I submitted through the site last time and not a bug report - already checked my spam filters).  I don't know if it would be a problem that the drive letter changed and then was changed again? That's the only  thing I can see different from the original startup files from last time.

Smaller files work too, so I'm wondering if my 4 gigs of RAM STILL isn't enough... 

Thanks again :)

The eye textures are in the same location yes. I still don't know what was causing the problems :(

DAZ support finally got back to me and said they couldn't find any reason from the log files that DAZ wasn't functioning, so I went back to Vsta suport and they had me do a system restore to the initial factory settings when the program and the files were working.

Now I can't even get those files to load properly =/

DAZ works, my other files are fine, but the files I was working on before (the ones that were crashing) won't even load. (the log file sayd it's a read memory error?)

My business partner and I are about to throw the computer out the window, as this sets us back about 6 months...SO we're going to try loading the files on yet another computer and see if it's the files that somehow got corrupted =/

Well, I reduced the bucketsize to 8 and everything else to 2 and it still crashed when it got to that same spot, so I uninstalled the free-standing version of 3delight to make sure that wasn't the problem. Unfortunately, even after uninstalling the free-standing 3delight (to make sure that wasn't the problem), it continues to freeze with even those low render settings. =/

Now, I should note that it's freezing when it reaches the characters eyes. I dont know what that would have to do with it, as the pair of glasses she is wearing are rendering fine, and I've tried changing the eye textures as well.

I've rendered these scenes completely before and the only changes that were made were to a completely different character in the scene than the one having the problems. DAZ support has yet to respond to me (They haven't responded to any of my help requests since I was having trouble with my old system last year and asking for assistance on a semi-regular basis), so I'm still totally stumped. :(

It's set to render in 3Delight, which is something else that's boggling me =/
I installed 3delight again before any of this happened.

I was told though, that for some things, DAZ uses OpenGL anyway . I assumed that this was part of the problem :(

Have you looked at AB-Grafix freestuff?
anbuso here on R'osity.

I'm very happy with V4's body morphs, but not so much with her head. I think that's probably my only issue though. I love the muscularity and the way the morphs are connected, but there's something very unrealistic about her face that I can't put my finger on.

I'm willing to wait on more morphs to come along, but mostly right now I'm just taking advantage of the sales.

Quote - Vaia, please see your Site Mail.

Noted, thank you. And apologies :(

I've never seen Cindy myself, though looking a the model, she looks quite nice :)

Some of the pieces from R'otica will work with some adjustments. Just have to watch the P5 material settings for the most part, as they don't work well in DAZ.

There are some ready props available if you look over on renderotica

Some of the ones available there lend very realistic results, and you can find them for most charaacters as well.
