Dreamlight Eternal Romance for Village Courtyard Question

ravvenkitsune

I'm unable to load the main lights for this scene and I was hoping that someone would be able to help. I install everything through DIM and this one seemed to install correctly, but the main lights might be missing, or the path is incorrect? Everything else loads. I would give anything for basic documentation on this type of product! :)

Thank you.

If it helps, this is from the log file:

Those are presumably primitve planes with an emissive shader applied - unfortuantely that means you can't recreate them, unless you havea  copy of DS 3 (and even then, I'm not sure how easy it would be to guess the needed settings). please report this to Technical Support https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I wish they'd say on the product page that it will only work in an older version of the software. :( Thank you very much for responding though, I appreciate it.

All Dreamlight items which say they use "Light Dome Pro" tech and don't list DS 4.x as compatible software but only "DAZ Studio" are likely to have problems in DS4 as Light Dome Pro was never updated past DS3 (Dreamlight created "Light Dome Pro - R" for DS4 but it's quite different from the original LDP)

Ah, so not just primitives. Thanks, Leana.

Ah, I'll have to remember that, thank you! :)

I didn't have any issues loading this Dreamlight product by loading the !all_lights_cameras.daz preset.

I install all of my DAZ content via Daz Connect. The pic shows the Data folder contents and the pPlane(11cg000)1 with it's associated files is at the top of the list. If you installed with DIM, have DIM show you the installed files and see if that folder was installed.

I've attached a pic of the files DAZ Connect installed showing it's data folder contents and a picture generated with Cam 3

Thank you, Lindsey, I appreciate that. I can browse to it from DIM, and see the files associated with MainLights which I think are in the right place - not sure why it gives me this error message, though. Shame, love the image that you attached!
