Fresh install, huge content library on a different HHD, none will load help!

Xade

First off I have over 200 gb that I've bought over the years. With only a 408gb solid state drive, I chose to install it over on a 1 tb hard drive instead with daz installer. After waiting forever for it to install everything I opened up daz studio and tried to locate the user perefences so I can add the location. Unfortunately, Daz has revamped the GUI again and I am lost once more. Now, I basically moved away from daz 3d and moved into blender but nothing beats PW Toon for toon shading, so I thought I would make my scenes in Blender and import them into DS for final rendering. (Possibly importing my characters and trying my hand at posing them too, but that's later on.) But I got off topic. How can I tell Daz studio where the content library is?

You can add directories simply by right-clicking on the Daz Studio Formats/Poser Formats/Other Formats headings in the Content Library pane (and remove by right-clicking on a directory). You can get to the Content Directory Manager through Edit>Preferences>Content Library.

Thank you, Sometimes I miss the simpler days of daz 3. 4 seems to have grown into a monster in comparison. we are at 4.9, is there a 5 in the works? will it be compatable with the 4 shaders like the PW ones?

The change log iss till incrementing 4.9.x.x, whether the next big release will be 4.10 or 5 I have no idea.

The shaders were updated so that they should work with newer versions of 3delight, albeit with a warning about possible performance issues. However, it is of course possible (though not, I hope, likely) that there will be a change in 3Delight that will break that.
