Victoria 6 Pro Bundle - Problems Finding the Extra’s

edited December 1969 in Daz Studio Discussion

Is it possible that the supporting products for Victoria 6 such as Charm Hair, Caped Rouge, Nordic Hair, Garden Party Dress, Nocturne Poses for V6, Nyssa, String Bikini for Victoria 6, Darkwoods Heroine, Club 58 Dress, Sweet Emotion V6, Casual Sexy Poses for Genesis 2 Female(s), Udane Hair, Fashion Hair, Norma and Vianne for Victoria 6 all don't have their meta data setup properly? I installed using The Daz Installer which has been working flawlessly of late and I cannot find a single item once I load and select V6 in DAz Studio 4.6 pro. I apologize if this has already been addressed, but can someone clue me in here?

    Actually the string bikini does show up, but none of the other V6 assets show up as smart content.

    I've found most of them browsing through the Content Library but don't understand why they do not show up as Smart Content. This one of my major hooks for using DS in the first place.

    Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

    Why are these NEW products not appearing as smart content? My last support request took 11 days to hear only that it had been deemed solved. I'd like an answer to this one if anyone knows the deal.

    If I move this to another forum, either DS discussions or the Commons you would be more likely to get some response, rather than having it in nuts and bolts.

    Would you like me to move it?

    That's odd. If you go into Content Library>Products do you:

    1. See any of the V6 bundle products in the alpha groupings?
    2. If you do, do the icons have the green or yellow "Content type" tags in the upper right corner?
    3. When you installed the Genesis 2 Female Starter Essentials bundle, does "Genesis 2 Female Starter Essentials" product display in the Smart Content>Products tab when Genesis 2 Female is selected in the Scene tab?

    Your responses may give me an idea what the problem may be. Personally, I'm not having any issue with displaying V6 products on the Smart Content Files or Products tab as shown below.

    Edit: Another thought came to mind, Have you adding anything new with Metadata besides the V6 bundle and it too is not showing up in the Smart Content tab?

    You can try and re-import the Metadata using the Re-Import Metadata command from the Content DB Maintenance menu. It's on the Active Pane option fly-out menu on the upper right corner of the Smart Menu title bar that looks like a paper icon with lines. Just uncheck everything and only re-process one product on the Re-Import Metadata screen. The list is sorted by product id, so have it handy for one of the products that's not showing up. After it's processed, click on the Smart Content>Product tab and see if it magically appears.

    I've also had no luck with V6 Pro Bundle - NONE of it shows up in Smart Content.

    I've confirmed that the files are available in the file view.
    Re-scanned the filesystem using Search Known Directories.
    Re-loaded all the metadata using Re-Import Metadata.
    Uninstalled the V6 Pro Bundle and re-installed from fresh downloads via DAZ3DIM.

    No Genesis 2 Starter Essentials, no V6PB content unless I navigate by filesystem in Content instead of Smart Content.

    Also, when do the daily bonus items show up in DAZ3DIM? I haven't seen any, and the rumors that you have to go through the checkout process on a daily basis in hopes of seeing a 100% discount really hit me as a rudeness on the part of DAZ if they are in fact the case.


    Dear DAZ, please fix.

    It does seem that the freebie content has to be purchased through the shopping cart, and if you miss it you miss it.

    They do give you a little sideways frowny :( emote if you miss a day though. Why they don't just give it to you through DIM is odd.

    Honestly, I like DAZ (both the site and the software) and am in love with Genesis, but the rollout for Gen 2 & Victoria 6 could have been handled better.

    Amen to that!

    Honestly, it sounds like really lax quality control to me. I've also noticed lately many of the DAZ pose sets for Genesis and also Genesis 2 having X & Y co-ordinates included. You know, snapping the figure back to 0,0,0 when you apply them. That is just lazy right there!

    And don't forget that they also set the scale to 100%.

    I wanted to acknowledge that this solved my problem for the most part. I still have a few things that don't show in Smart Content, but the reimporting seemed to cause most of the new stuff to show up.

    Thanks for the tip.

    This new V6 is a mess. pure and simple. If you select it then none of the Genesis clothing shows in the smart content. No auto fit no nothing. So it would mean that the v4 stuff will work with auto fit it appears but the genesis stuff will not. How crazy is that? As far as Daz support goes you might as well shoot at the stars. It takes about as long to get a reply.

    Actually, you can make Autofit work. Just load the item in the scene and right click on it to tell it to fit to. It'll walk you through the steps then. You are correct about the mess though. The Smart content for earlier Genesis stuff not associating with V6 is my biggest gripe.

    Does V4 clothing show up with V6 selected? AFAIK items which can be autofit never show up.

    Yes v4 items do show up because they are not in the my content panel they are in the sub folders on the other side like Poser or my library and such. You can auto fit anything selected except shoe ware seems to be a real mess.

    Yes, but the question is do they show up in Smart Content when the figure is selected?
