see, i am getting this warning...but the files are in the folder
Huh, that is very weird. Maybe Daz cannot find it? Would concatenating the /Scripts... with Content Directory Manager (F2->Content Tab->Content Directory Manager... button) Daz Studio Formats . work?
\What about these questions?
Do you have any of the other character converter products? Do they work? Are they installed manually? Connect? DIM?
i checked the directory as you suggested and it is set right
...and no, i only have that one product..i never needed to go up to Genesis 8
I am baffled because DS says it doesn't exist. In my experience, that means that it cannot find a directory in Content Manager (or subdirectories of those directories) that it can append "/Scripts/RiverSoft Art/Character Converter/Character Converter G8F to G3F.dse" and find the actual file. I am at a loss. I can understand if you don't want to give full directories on the forums. Could you PM me the paths in Content Manager? Plus the full path where Character Converter.dse resides?
I recently tried to use Zev0's XTransfer script to transfer over Darius 7 (as I haven't gotten good results with the Character Transfer script). However, I'm still getting the broken wobbly irises with the XTransfer script. After checking with Zev0, the consensus is that there must be something left over from your Character Converter script. I believe I deleted all the files that were generated when I transfered the base Darius 7 with your script...is there any place specific I need to double-check? I already deleted any Darius 7 reference in the "Converted Characters" output folder.
my library for Daz studio is H:\3d\PoserFiles\Daz Studio
here you go
The morphs for Darius would be under My Library (or whatever the first directory in your Daz Studio Formats of the Content Directory Manager)/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Males/Morphs/VENDOR/PRODUCT
Ok, your Daz Studio Formats is empty. That might be the problem. Try to right click and Add Base Directory and give the directory which could be appended to the script path. For example, if Character Converter G8F to G3F.dse is in H:/3d/PoserFiles/Daz Studio/Scripts/RiverSoft Art/Character Converter/Character Converter G8F to G3F.dse, put the base directory as H:\3d\PoserFiles\Daz Studio. If it is in H:/3d/PoserFiles/Daz Studio/My Library/Scripts/RiverSoft Art/Character Converter/Character Converter G8F to G3F.dse, make it H:/3d/PoserFiles/Daz Studio/My Library/
Thanks!
i don't know how that happened, but it is there
maybe i accidentally removed it... just before i took the screenshot
and since i didn't save it, it reverted back
but as you can see, it is there
So is H:/3d/PoserFiles/Daz Studio/Scripts/RiverSoft Art/Character Converter/Character Converter G8F to G3F.dse where the file is? And it still doesn't work?
see for your self
Well then, sorry, I do not know why DS cannot find the script.
i am at a loss myself ...what a way to get back into 3d graphics, after many years lmao
I am very sorry for your troubles. If it was the script, I could help you. But, obviously, I am not having much luck helping you with DS
i understand...maybe it will fix itself in the next update
RiverSoftArt...i got it working! lmao
i made a new folder, and named it after the DSE...."Character Converter G8F to G3F."
and placed all the files in it...hit refresh in Daz Studio, and it worked
That is weird! That is not the path! I have no idea why it worked, but I am happy for you that it did.
IDK how that happened
now...more trouble lol when i add a directory it will only take eyelashes..and when i unchecked "check content type"
now i get a "verbose" iray warning
i read in the info that not all will convert...is there a way to know which ones?
You want to convert the ones with "Character" content type, not preset_shape or ones like that.
i keep getting "genesis 3 could not be found in a mapped content directory"
Can you load the characters yourself (i.e., not the script) It sounds like you might have the same problems with DS finding the characters as with the script.
oh yes, i can load characters..without the script...and using the convert scene, where you have to load the character and Genesis 3...gives no problems
Ok, that helps. What is the exact error? I think you are getting a Genesis *8* Male not found. At a certain point in the conversion process, the script tries to load the generic Genesis 8 Basic Male.duf, which it thinks is at "People/Genesis 8 Male/Genesis 8 Basic Male.duf". Luckily, I think we can get around whatever gremlins are on your system for this one.
the exact line reads "genesis 3 could not be found in a mapped content directory"
Sigh. I think that means that the loading the character is failing. If you check the DAZ log (not the one in the dialog), you should see:
Apply Preset: FILENAME
Can I see that part of the log?
sorry to be a pain in the butt

Could I have more of the log please when the script is running?
the script log says
the error dialog is in the attachment
Ok, we are in the "Character Converter from Genesis 3 Male to Genesis 8 Male" thread, but I think you are running "Character Converter from Genesis 8 Female to Genesis 3 Female"? Then your error makes more sense about Genesis 3 not loading. Adapting the instructions from before:
