Hello all!

Not sure if this problem has come about for anyone else or if im missing something quite obvious but, every time i go to use either the Gummy and plastic shaders or the shaders base im getting this error message

/data/Age of Armour/Subsurface Shaders/AoA_Subsurface/AoA_Subsurface.dsf

I tried downloading the SG&PS; manually but the file doesn't seem to be in there either. Am i missing something would there be a reason this message is appearing?

Thanks in advance all

AA

    Have you installed the Default Lights and Shaders for DAZ Studio pack, one of the parts of the DAZ Studio package?

    I do indeed Misty :) one of the first things i checked just to make sure lol. The error message appears even when trying to use the Shader Base.

    They are working for me, and I have the current versions of the files installed. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the shader and lights package, and if that fails the separate SSS shader package.

    Make sure that the location you installed them to is listed as a DS-format content folder in DS.

    Can you in DS go to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, expand the DS-format and Poser-format sections, and post a screenshot?

    AAConsidering none of your content paths are set up correctly I'm surprised you have not had more errors. Here is the Proper way to set up Content paths for both the default DAZ Studio content Folder and the new DAZ Studio Install Manager (DIM) content folder, as shown in DAZ Studio Content Directory Manager...

    where is the content directory manager? i looked under tabs, panes, hovered over icons. ;~

    the gummy worked for me.

    when you updated ds version, were there any funky messages?

    when i did mine it gave me popup messages about not being able to copy utilities.

    i did my best to get a clean install.
    used the program uninstall.
    rebooted.
    manually deleted the ds program folder and cms folder
    (didn't touch the content library or app folders)
    then ran the install.
    had to re-drop all the shader utilities that came in the zip files.
    had to re-installed plugins like lamh player,

    it remembered all my customizes so it wasn't all that painful.
    i leave the cms running for carrara but i donn't manually do anything to it.
    don't know how painful it would be for you to delete the cms folder for a clean install.


    i don't use the default install paths.

    Thankyou all sooo much for the help! after redirecting my folders as per what you showed Jaderail, all things are working correctly :D i had to redo the meta data as somehow id managed to stop that working too! haha. Ahh DAZ how far youve come from when i was first using you lol.

    Ms Blue! it is indeed a blast from the past! after a somewhat timely absence of myself and my muse, i have returned to haunt the halls once more! I hope everything is well with yourself :)
