Can I install V4 into DS3Advance and DS4.5.

I have V4 installed into DS3Advance and have imported her into DS4.5 but it is so slow. Can I actually install her into DS4.5 as well as DS3A

    No need just point DS4.5 to your DS3A content folders as outlined here http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/11176/#160953

    Thanks for responding so quickly.

    When I said I had imported V4 into DS4.5, I actually asked DS4.5 to import my mapped directories. Isn't that the same as just pointing the Content Manager to the DS3A Directory?

    Yes that is correct.

    As for how slow it loads I can't help sorry. For me it takes a little quicker to load a fresh V/M/K4 in DS4.5.1.56 than it did in DS3A and I have a very low spec machine.

    Hopefully others might have other options to try.

    If I unmap my DS3A directories in DS4.5, and install V4 straight into DS4.5, along with Morphs ++, will it will cause any problems having her installed twice on my computer? albiet in different programmes.

    I say this, as I have the core programmes on my 'C' Drive, along with V4,M4 and Genesis, but I have various runtimes that I just point to when I want to use them, on a separate external hard drive.

    As long as each app only sees it once it won't cause problems -- just be careful to install any morph packs to both.

    Thanks.

    When you say be careful to install morph packs to both programmes, do you mean I MUST install morph packs to BOTH programmes?

    You don't have to, but since each application is looking in a different location, if you don't install morph packs to both locations, you'll have different morph available in each. If you save a .daz scene or a .dsa preset in one which uses morphs that aren't in the other, then if you try to use it in the other app it won't match.
