    Tattered Kiplenut for Genesis 8 Male   I typed it in DIM, no luck, it didn't do anything. So I restarted DIM. Nothing. Did a Genesis 8 Male list. Not there. Did the search then alphabetically. Not installed, not ready to download. Hidden items were shown. 

    sku::73945  showed up when I went to Product Library and did the install option for DIM. THE STUPID THING IS SCARECROW FOR GENESIS 8 MALE. MAKE A NOTE OF IT!

    Already did :)   Thanks though!

    BTW if you folks want a scarecrow to use with those clothes, I am SO proud of myself for somehow remembering this- I wanted a ragman type dude, knew it was target practice and medieval, and found it!  I am going to try the Medieval Training dude as the scarecrow.

    I wonder if it was submitted to Daz as Scarecrow, but was forced to change the name because of RawArts' Scarecrow for G8M.

    I'm sure having a night. Now I can't get CC Rafael Skull Face to apply. Anyone have him who can try it? It's CC Rafael  and the skull face mats are in the Materials-Iray part of the character.  I do have Diego 8 loaded, but that shouldn't be required.

    Novica, I just loaded him up and applied the makeup, and although it does not showup, if you use the spot renderer, it does. So it is another of those makeups that only show in the render.

    Okay, what is the spot renderer? Is that the same as the Iray preview in the viewport? (and thanks for testing.)  I'm tired and probably should have thought of that, it's going on 5:30am and I haven't gone to bed yet because I'm testing things out and only installing what I want to possibly use. They have marked the waterlines, gaslines, cable lines on our entire street and I called the 811 number (Call before you dig) and they told me it was the cable company and they were going to be digging. Don't know when, and I can just see them disrupting the internet. NOT what I need!

    That little camera tool at the top?

    The companies did it all around my complex last fall. Laid in 5G lines and stuff. Last week AT&T upgraded my service to 5G at no charge. The guys worked through/around blizzards and heatwaves.

    Ah, okay. Didn't realize that's what it was called. I often forget it's there (palm to forehead.)  My computer is fast and I usually just click and do a fast test render.

    Also, I have found a number of items that have had their names changed, sometimes radically. What I have done is clicked on the thumbnail and gone to product support to find the new name, or you could use the promo pages if you have them, and click them, and open them up, unless they go to an 'OOPs' page. But I had to do that a lot when I was clearing out my Daz Connect installed mess on both computers. Still have to clean-up the Daz Connect metadata updates.

    I was using the ReadMes for the file names and of course many of those are a mess. Daz sure didn't have a plan at all when they started and allowed vendors to go willy-nilly. For example, that scarecrow mentioned in the other post looks NOTHING like a scarecrow in my opinion. Names should match the product. Going to the product library and selecting the DIM install gave me the product sku and it loaded automatically when I picked that option, so I'll have to remember to do that. :)

    In DIM it is called Scarecrow for Genesis 8 Male. I found it by filtering on the SKU (SKU::73945).

    Thanks, already did that. It came later in the thread :)  At least that one looks like a scarecrow!

    Moderators- here's another one with the Required Product missing. It's in the description, but even that isn't lining up properly. The Ghost Ship  requires Medusa.  So it really should have been named Ghost Ship Medusa.

    Medusa     Ghost Ship 

    Take note so you don't waste YOUR time due to no ReadMes.  Medusa, the ship required for Ghost Ship, is in Poser. Although if you download the files it says Characters and there isn't any, it's FIGURES in Poser. Also in Props.  (Then which file to use? Here's the answer by Chohole and fixmypcmike but I stated it below. )

    Then, to use Ghost Ship, go to Poser- Props-Raw- Ghostship and USE THE PP ONE. 
    Hope this helps.  I linked them so if anyone does a forum/web search bada bing bada boom there's where you find them.

    Here's the thread where I read Medusa was required, it's not listed as the required product and the description is a bit wonky. But a nice thread on pirate stuff! 

    Edit- you won't find the body of the ship in the Props section for Ghost Ship, it will have all the flags and sails. YOU MUST GO TO POSER-MATERIALS to get the tattered body of the ship.

    I bought dForce Soft Breast for Genesis 8 Females a few weeks ago and it doesn't work. When I select the G8F and start the script, it throws an error. CS confirmed that the error is reproducible. I waited three weeks for tech support to get back to me (after promising I would wait two), and they didn't even grace me with a hello. So now I'm asking for a refund. The good news is that tech support does (or should) know. The bad news is that I am not sure when they will get around to fixing it, and I won't be able to report when that happens, because I will no longer own the item. So if you own it and it currently works, don't redownload it right now! But be on the lookout for an update and please let us know. I might buy it again in the future if they get this sorted.

    Which version of Studio were you trying it on? I have 4.12 and get the same error. The encrypted scripts can be finicky about running on earlier versions.

    Flash sale going on until 5pm if anyone is interested.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,887

    Yep, was just coming to post it :)   I have been waiting on this cute suspender outfit to go on sale, so with four things it was 70 percent off. It's got not only a hat, but a garland for the hair. Can use it with other faerie type renders.

    Just an interesting heads up for when you do Halloween renders- or bird renders- Albert Mansion has crows. I was looking at Noggins and Predatron's LoRez one, (which I don't own) then did a forum search and found a thread where crows were mentioned in that mansion. Yes!  Two kinds, one with wings outstretched.

    Great building, a shame that there only is this "abandoned" version, otherwise I'd have bought it (not a fan of Halloween and other scary/ugly stuff).
