Aiko 4 stuff

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hi! I just got V4 starter bundle if I'm not wrong and A4 pro bundle, so I'm not used with this generation.

So I have a few questions...

1) where can I find the items from them easily in my DS? I noticed, for example, this hair does not show up when I click Aiko 4. http://www.daz3d.com/diahme-hair It does, however, show me the textures in the content library.

2) How do I apply this character for A4 (head and body)? http://www.daz3d.com/luna

3) When I apply her textures, where are her eyebrows? http://www.daz3d.com/ami-for-a4

4) Where do I find everything else? (clothes and the stuff in the bundle that do not show up in smart content when I click V4 or A4)

5) and when I try to render with Iray, the eyes always look creepy... Like this: (how to fix it?)

    Most of the old Generation 4 stuff does NOT have proper metadata for DS, so it won't show up in Smart Content.  You'll have to actually go looking through the Content.  Often easiest to just look in the Products list, and find it by name, or do a search (but NOT in smart content.)

    IF everything is installed properly, you should just have to load A4 up, select her, then double click the character presets (Head INJ, Body INJ, Full MAT.)

    According to the product page, there is an 'eyebrow on/off' option.  Probably a texture preset, should be somewhere in with the rest of the texture (i.e., makeup and such) presets.

    Nope, a lot of them are Poser content, and don't HAVE any metadata for Smart Content to use.  You just have to find them directly in the Poser Content, Products, or Search in the same areas.  Smart content is NOT going to work (at least not until you find them normally, and then create your own DUF presets, save them, and then Categorize them.....

    Those are the 'liquid' eye surface.....and the Poser/3Delight textures don't convert well to Iray, and lose the transparency.  Select the correct surface (use the Surface Selection Tool) and the apply something like an Iray water shader to them.
