The Lost World (Missing Files)

And so, this product is missing files. I have a short list of materials and they have the wacky scroll and tab (that I think indicates Poser files)

I found this list which states The Lost World needs DIM to install.

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/search?Search="The+Lost+World"

I uninstalled and installed it several times using DIM (with Daz closed) and the file system is still sparse. In renders I get the OCean and beach plane, but no shader loads to shade the water or beach.

Arggghhhhh,,,

I tried a manual install and slid the runtime over myself. Still, only three choices.

The product says Several shaders and such, but  how do I get this working?

All help is appreciated.

    Oh, and I did try another install using the Internal Installer and still no additional files.

    It removes the little "install me" icon, but no changes anywhere.

    Update: I swapped shaders and kept it moving.

    Using some sand/rock to replace the beach and the VOID dark matter to replace the water.

    Nothing like losing the few hours you get per day battling a product.

    At least now I have a plan to keep from doing this again.

    The s croll icon indicates a Daz Studio format sidecar file - usually materials, but it can also be a script performing other actions. In this case, I suspect your issue is that there are cistom 3Delight materials and you are rendering in Iray.

    Here's a user guide that will shed light on how to use the product in both Daz Studio and Poser.

    You know, I did read that PDF and it appeared to only explain help for Poser users.

    Doesn't say much more than things I don't have a propblem with - and there's no mention of multiple material files- aside from what it says in the actual product pitch.

    Material Presets:

    • All material poses for all the toolkit props
    • Sea - reflective surface
    • Sea - murky water
    • Sea - complex water shader
    • North Beach - bump map shader
    • South Beach - bump map shader

    "tool kit" And this is what's new and I have never seen such in any other product before.

    You know, when you see something this stunning, one assumes iray. lol

    Apparently, this is OLDER than I thought. I grabbed this - this past July.

    Thanks for the help. I missed the most obvious thing. It's a 3Delight product. Well seen.
