DSA files in content manager

tonyma40

I notice some of the files in your content manager are dsa files instead of dsf. When I try to add a texture material to my character clothing it will not work. Does Daz have a special plugin that you can use to be able to use the dsa materials? Please help.

.dsa materials should work just as well as .dsf/.duf. It may be that those are leftovers which are no longer attached to files. What error message do you get when you try to use them?

I do not get any error message. The texture materials will not drag and drop on the character cloths. They do show up on Genesis wardrobe, but not active. I notice if the wardrobe name is highlighted in green it will work if not It will not drag and drop light the rest of content library.

DSA files are DAZ Script files, and they are usually used to apply shaders. Select the item you want to apply it too in the Scene pane AND select the surface in the Surfaces pane, then double click on the icon to apply it. You must select the object and the surface to apply shaders of any kind.

I'm not following -- can you give the product name, paths and filenames of some specific items that are giving you problems?

Everything is find it worked thank you, I was just sending you a message. I am so use to the drag and drop in genesis. But I do have another question for you. I purchase the Red Carpet Evening Gown for DS. Itt fits find in her standard pose, but when I change the pose , body parts sticks out. Her shoulders and stomach. I tried different shapes and the dynamic control, but the dress still does not stay on her body. How can I get the dress to move with her different poses. Thank you jimmy for your help also
