Renderotica

Downloaded the zip file. extracted it to a newly made folder. i made sure daz knows where the folder is also. By going edit > Preferences > content directory and choose file.

So that shouldnt be a problem as ive downloaded other stuff and worked ok. Ive removed the folder and made a new multiple times but keep showing triangle with ! icon

I even put it on daz library first time but still same icon shows. 

Any help is welcome. thanks!

Hi, thanks for taking your time to reply!. 

Looks like you might have put Morph (data) files in the library resources (Anatomy)
More specifically Lexakiness' "Morphs and Shapes for Dicktator"?

7-Zip and just coping all to one Daz Library fixes these issues 98.5% percent of the time.

I saw plenty of people going to daz via dokument route so no wonder i was confused.
Also helped to go content library (in daz) > right click My DAZ 3D library > browse to folder location. That helped me find the correct path!

Cheers for taking your time to reply :)

Well Daz Default IS the User/Public Documents/My Daz Library... (on Windows PC) you can put your stuff here or make a "My Daz Library/My Library" somewhere else on the drive or different drive as long at you point daz and your installer to it.

The important thing is that the "data" and "runtime" files stay in those folders because the other "props","people","shaders presets", etc.. link/point back to data for geometry info and runtime for shader and material template info. "Documents" are usually "Read Me's" and licenses txt filesthat can stay in the zip without install to DS if you are keeping the zip as a backup.

So what you should see in a (Daz not Poser) product .ZIP file is a Content (maybe "documents" here) / Library / (the *data* file, (people, prop, shader, etc), the *runtime*  (maybe "documents" here) the underlined folders need to go in the library and again data and runtime files HAVE to be in those folders.

So if you get 7-Zip and trust the site and artist, once you have a zip you can open archive see the layout = Data, ...DS Folders..., Runtime =  highlight those and copy to your Library where ever u put it. then on future installs its a simple highlight, copy to, drop down menu to your library. No more dragn and dropn of files all over. If you install all your content in one library you 'll be able to find it easier later inside DS wether its label and showing in smart content, is categorized or not, without having to look in 2+ different libraries. This method also saves space because the download file remains compressed without extraction except for any uncompressed files that get installed to the library.
