Download issue

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hello all,

 

I purcchased Simona last night (http://www.daz3d.com/fw-simona-hd-for-genesis-2-female-s) but the download didn't quite go through. The character seems to have downloaded and installed except for two files, warnings for which display whenever I try to load Simona. As a result, I get a big blocky figure, and I mean blocky - literally, she looks like a pile of squares and rectangles. Is there a way to fix this, perhaps to redo the download? 

 

Many thanks,

Bob

    I don't think it has anything to do with the download, it sounds like DAZ Studio cannot find the 'data' folder for this item which it needs.   Your error message should have said something like that.   If you didn;t see an error, you could try the log file, Help > Troubleshooting > View Log File.

    I take it that you donwloaded and installed the Genesis 2 Female Starter Essentials package (free with DAZ Studio)   Your character requires this since it a a morph of G2F.    If you haven't installed the starter essentials package, you must do before the figure will work.

    PS. Yes, I downloaded Daz and everything that came with it, and other Gen 2 characters seem to work.

    She should also be in the Shaping and/or Parameters tab....what happens if you load a 'vanilla' G2F and dial her in, there?

     

  • retiretomauiretiretomaui Posts: 387

    Thanks for the suggestion, I just tried it. However, I just keep getting the same 'ol blocky bunch of squares.

    Before or after you dial her in?

    Did you install her using the DIM or do a manual install?

    It is not finding the base data for Genesis 2 Female - are you sure the other G2F figures/characters load?

  • retiretomauiretiretomaui Posts: 387

    Okay, here's what's odd. According to my purchase history, I do have the Genesis 2 Start Essentials, which would include te stock Gen 2 female. However, it doesn't show up under Smart Content. The other Gen 2 stuff does, like the Gen 2 male, but not the Gen 2 female. I've tried re-downloading it, but Install Manager won't do so.

    Sorry if I was unclear earlier, I'm very new to Daz and rendering and what the processes and vocabulary are.

     

     

    EDIT: I got it to work. Turns out that the full Gen 2 package hadn't installed after all after cecking through Install Manager. so, I uninstalled it and then it reinstalled. Now, she's there! Thanks for yor suggestions!

    Is Genesis 2 Female Starter Essentials listed in the Installed tab of Install Manager? If so try uninstalling and then reinstalling it.
