Rename files and paths - Solved

Dax Avalange

Hello everyone.

A simple question that drive me crazy.

This is the first time I've been involved in sales of Daz characters, so, after several years of using Daz Studio,now there's a question that comes to mind.

I'm starting to produce a new Genesis 8 female character for sale; obviously the procedures are always the same, from modeling or morphing the character up to textures etc.

When the work is done, finally move on to saving character, props and materials. The folders will bring name and path that I chose, at that point I know that names and folders can't longer change. Here rthe question: there's a way (from Daz Studio or an external script) to change the names reassigning them in different paths (for instance if I want to rename the textures) but always keeping the right paths programmed by Daz Studio? (otherwise poor the customer that no find paths, lol)

Good solution is appreciated.

You can edit the presets with a text editor, though bear in mind that some characters - including spaces - need to be repalced with their hex codes in paths (so " " becomes "%20"). You could also, of course, recreate the preset with the new maps (just apply the old one, then change the maps in the Surfaces pane). That's assuming I understand your intent

Ahhhhh! Sure!!! Exactly what I meant! I can recreate a preset changing maps! Simpler than I thought! Wonderful!

Thanks Richard.
