ID's Giada for Victoria 4.2

RSand55

Hi Folks:
I'm new to 3D but not PC's.
I'm using the current release of DAZ3D V4.7 with Victoria 4.2 Pro Bundle installed.
I have bought Giada and another from Illusions but cannot for the life of me get this
properly installed.
The products at this site look spectacular but my 3D ignorance is apparent.
Does any of Giada's files (listed below) have to be converted to a DAZ format? If someone could show me the correct path to install
these files, it would be appreciated.
I did change the default installer path to My 3D Library but to no avail as within DAZ, I am able to find the folders
but not any content. If posting the files is forbidden in this forum, I apologize.
I'm finding Daz very addicting so if you could help, you indeed have my gratitude.
Thank you very much.

The Runtime folder from the zip should be merged with the Runtime folder in your \My DAZ 3D Library - assuming that's the location to which you installed Victoria 4 base and morphs. The files will then be in the Content Library pane (not Smart Content) under Poser Formats>Pose>!MAT-Giada IDV4. However, since they aren't DAZ Studio materials you are going to have to do a bit of work to convert them after applying - one option would be to fine a character that looks good to you under DAZ Studio formats and hold the ctrl(Windows)/cmd(Mac) key down while double-clicking its icon, then in the dialogue that opens choose Ignore for maps - that will give DS settings with the Glada textures, though given that the set has only diffuse (plain colour) and bump maps you may need to try several possibilities before you find one that looks good.

Thanks for getting back so quickly.
The Victoria 4.2 Bundle was installed by the Daz Install Manager so I guess it's all in the correct place.
I had a feeling this would be a lot of work as it's not in Daz format but I will try my best.
Thank you.

I just did it and it worked like a charm! Thank you!!!
