Daz Central is definitely deprecated in favor of DIM, possibly already discontinued.
As I understand it the DAZ store is linked to your account so you should have the same library from any PC you connect from. Unless I misunderstand what you're asking for.
yes I just wanted daz central so I can quickly browse throguh and see images which makes tings go so much quicker
so nobody knows of a link to download daz central anymore?
No, though we understand that adding a "grid view" (like Daz Central) to Install Manager is being looked at.
yo k thanks
Moved to Technical Help as it is not a Daz Studio topic.
I honestly don't understand how anyone can use Daz 3D without Daz Central. Literally every time I create a scene, I go into Daz Central, click Daz Studio Assets, switch the view to the big picture view and either scroll down or type roughly what I'm looking for. How anyone can just remember all their products is beyond me. How do people browse through all of their products without Daz Central?
Manual install and installing into categories. Also, Daz Central doesn't show content from outside vendors as far as I know.
The Products tab of Smart Content is also quite an effective way of finding things, especially with Filter By Context checked if you are wanting items made for the current figure.
I never used Daz Central so perhaps I just don't know what I missed but presumably it's using the same metadata that exists in the database which also powers Smart Content? If so, then for me, it likely would not have helped me much since there just isn't enough data/tags/keywords etc. My usual go-to is to do a google search for the thing I want - since that incorporates a lot more data (like the product description and forum posts etc). Then I go through the results until I find a match to a product that I own (and sometimes wishlist the ones I don't).
but smart content doesnt show half the things I have I thought
central was easy if you were thinking of something but didnt know the name
Well, in theory, Smart Content SHOULD show all items that were installed by any of the three Daz installers which contain front-facing assets (which I think all Daz store Products do). Many may not be correctly categorised and will show up in lost+found instead of the correct categories but still there regardless.
Smart Content should broadly show anything that Connect shows, though neither will show any (Connect) or most (Smart Content) products from other sites. If you are missing a lot of content that was isntalled through Connect that may be instalaltion issues - if you close DS and immediately start Central or Install manager the database may not be running to receive details of the installed products - reimporting metadata should fix that.
I installed everyting with DIM , only g8f is in SContent, v3 is not there under figures
I don't have Victoria 3 purchased so can't check that on my machine. It is an old Poser product so the metadata may not be perfect tho - try searching for her in "All Products".
