Skull Cove Complete - Is there a trick I'm missing?

I've tried downloading both with the downloader as well as manually. I can't seem to find the seawater plane. The sky globe doesn't visibly load in the Poser content tab, but it doesn't even show up to load in the Daz content tab.

Getting a bit frustrated. I even tried loading the whole scene and deleting what I don't want, but no sky loaded and the seawater plane doesn't seem to be there either.

Am I missing something?

    There is no separate water plane. It's built into the island and has it's own 3DU water shader applied to it. If you were planning on just using the water plane you'll have to load in Skull Cove and set the opacity of the remaining surfaces to zero. Note that as they're still technically in the scene, those surfaces will still add render time even though they're invisible.

    Here's Skull Cove out of the box using the default lighting. I loaded Skull Cove Complete for this example. You can clearly see the water visible.

    Figures. Another misrepresented product ...

    Did you load this through the Daz folder or the Poser folder?

    This was the Daz Studio preset.

    Did the product say that the water plane was separate? If not, then what was "misrepresented"?

    It's not like I'm new to buying Daz products, but to me, the listing implies it's a plane.
