I'm having trouble locating this product in my content directory. Can someone point me in the right direction? It doesn't seem to be working as smart content.

It will not show up in your content library, only as dials in the parameters pane
Sigh, nevermind. I found them. The appear under expressions once the head is selected. These are very nice, but presets via the normal smart content menu would have been a bit handier IMHO.
Yes, I agree. The promo show nice preview images of the expressions, but all I see in Parameters tab is text and sliders. Who knows what Concentration 07 is? Is there a way to see the faces? Other expression packages I purchased appear in the Content Library with icons. I don't understand why this one is different.
Thanks for your response. Cross posted on your answer.
Yes, I do!!! Your file size concern sent me off to calculate. I see the size of the icon for each Mega Mood Expression is about 17 KB. So 220 icons would be under 4 MB. That is smaller than just the one file for the V6 Belle face diffuse texture, which weighs in at 6 MB. So, I'd have to say that, for me, it would be an excellent use of disk space to have icons for the 220 expressions.
So, on the technical side, if I were to create an icon for each expression, do you know how I could make them show up?
I'll give it a Look tonight if the Forum stays quite. If not I'll give it a look anyway.
Thanks, Jaderail
I've not given up on this but I'm not sure I can convert a Morph to a Duf file. That would work. I'll study up more as time allows.
EDIT LOL! To easy no wonder I missed it. Load Genesis of course, Apply the Expression. Now SAVE AS Pose Preset with only the Head selected. They will auto save into Presets> Poses. You will need to Zero Genesis's face Every time between expressions but it is doable. Just center the View on Genesis's head to get a okay Icon. Have fun Converting. You can Move the set to a Different folder or just Save to one you made before you start.

One can unzip the .dsf files [so they're in English, 7zip] and find this "icon_large" : ""
In between the quotes following the colon, paste the exact path to the location [I take it from where the .dsf file is to start with] except one puts the name of the icon [same as for the .dsf file] which must be a .png file. Icon files are kept in the same folder with the .dsf files.
Haven't made mine but that's what I'm thinking to do.
I was thinking you wanted one click use expressions like Expressive for Genesis. Yes you can add the View Icons to the Parameters like other expressions but as I said I missunderstood the direction that was wanted.
Oh I wasn't sure which way to read the question either ... just my take on it that's all. The idea of making some pose presets is good too. Saw other requests of people wanting such an item as you suggested.
