Manual Download/Install Question

dash2128

I'm trying to install a product manually, and...to make it work correctly, so I can bribng it up in 4.9, I am not sure what path and file to place it in.

Does it need extracting?

Do I just drag and drop it into a file, along a certain path?

(I included an attachment, which shows the product and where it's downloaded to.)

What kind of files are in the zip file?  Is it set up for Studio or is it an object file?

Try here if this is not just an obj-File, but follows Poser or DAZ structures: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/927004/#Comment_927004

Also, please note that the content will most likely not show up in Smart Content, as you need a database entry for that.

It doesn't specify. It supposed to be for daz 4.9 compat.

2 sip files that I have not extracted yet.

If the file is successfully placed (but is not in Smart Content), how would I bring it up in Viewport, then?

(Thank you for the instructions! I will examine them this evening.)

Went to Rendo and searched the store. They have this link to the REadme file. https://bw-1651cf0d2f737d7adeab84d339dbabd3-bcs.s3.amazonaws.com/products/product_121918/Help121918.txt

In it, you have the files and file structure.

As it is, you can use the link I gave you in my previous post.

Yes with those files you should be able to follow the direction in the link to drag and drop your files into the right folders. 

BeeMKay

As for 'Bringing them up in the viewport', you will have to go through the content Library tab.

Thanks!  That worked!

I don't think I followed the instructions precisely, but it worked just the same.
