Need a DS library list

kjer_99

I'm very confused about how to set up in DAZ Studio what--in Poser would be its Runtime--its internal organization should be. Is there a simple list for DS 4.5? If so where? If not, could someone make one for me and post it here? Most of my DAZ products load okay, but those made by others don't show up at all when I have to manually enter them. For example, if I download say wilmap's free Regency Dress, it does not show up in the regular content folder. I understand that the it wouldn't in the Smart Content listing and why. I just need to see the DS equivalent of...

Read Me
Pics
Product Lists
Runtime
Geometries
Libraries
Cameras
Characters
.....
Materials
Morphs
Poses
Props
Python
PoserScripts
ReflectionMaps
Templates
Textures

...anywhere. I just want to make sense of the darn program!

Thanks for any help provided.

DS doesn't have fixed libraries the way Poser does. It uses \Runtime\Textures for most textures, and \Data holds geometry and morph information, but other than that it's a matter of convention. Figures usually go in \People\Figurename, with subfolders for characters, clothes and such. Props may be in Props, or in a folder like Environment or transport. Animals and monsters are usually in Animals.

THANK GOD!!!! I always hated the way Poser Libs were organized... they were all set up in Poser 2 and never really updated with any degree of intelligence.
