Greetings, yesterday I installed DAZ 4 and then downloaded and installed a bunch of free content from their site, only I either installed DAZ in the wrong place or installed the content into the wrong place(s) (DAZ installers don't automatically direct to the right folder it seems).
Anyhow like a number of people I can't find where it put files.
For example, figures, such as V4: I cannot find where it put the figure, to load it. It is not in the Content Library or "Smart Content" tabs.
I generally installed things into Program Files -> DAZ, but I do not see the files there, even showing hidden files.
I did look through some threads here already where people are having similar frustrations but their problems & solutions don't seem to click with mine.
DS tutorials seem to give conflicting advice: I checked out this content installation tutorial video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq2pj4JEatE&feature=related and it says to install content to Libraries -> Documents -> DAZ 3D -> Studio -> Content (in the folder it created when I first installed, it did not create a Content folder; do I have to create one?).
Their Online FAQ for installation, here: http://www.daz3d.com/i/faq/0?id=360 gives a different pathway for installation: c:Program FilesDAZStudioContent
Right now I'm facing having to re-install everything I tried to install last night, and I want to do it correctly this time.
Plz halp! Which is the correct path for installing content and how do you force DAZ to recognize the locations? (Many installations claim they are doing this automatically, with a pop-up, but apparently this is not true).
Thanks in advance for any help. >_<
