Using older models in D4?

wolf-2597660

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my 2009 foray into learning 3d modeling and animation was stopped cold, and now I can finally get back into it.

I had downloaded DAZStudio_2.3.3.138 (so maybe it was earlier than 2009?) as well as purchasing Bryce6, Carrara7, several plugins for each, as well as several models and plugins(?) for the models.

I have Michaeal4, Victoria3 and 4, TheGirl4, MillenniumCatLE, MillenniumBigCatLE, MilleniumHorseLE, MillenniumPuppyLE, SeaDragon, SeaScapeLatRock, as well as morphs, clothing, poses and more for the models.

What are my options for using the 2009 models, poses, morphs, etc. in Daz 4?

I did experiment by installing the V4 base model as well as V4 clothing to a separate directory, and was able to import the V4 base model into D4, and then manually pose and apply poses to the V4 base; however, no such luck with the clothing and other items (hair, skin, etc.)

A Google/Yahoo/Bing search (yes, I search on all three since their spiders work differently and do give different results) didn't provide any hits.

I'd like to be able to use all of the items I purchased back in 2009 in Daz 4. I am not certain that installing Daz 2.3 can export or transfer all of the 2009 purchases to Daz 4.

Thanks in advance for any help, pointers, etc.

You should have no problems in using all your older content in DS 4.6.

You should find it under Poser formats, if you installed it as advised to your DS 4.6

Of course the best way to do it would be to redownload it all, using DIM and then allow DIM to install it for you, to make sure that everything goes where it should.

Edited to add You will find documentation here for DS 4.6

and here http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/start

and docs here for the DIM http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/install_manager/start

I have no problems using generation 3 or generation 4 content directly in DAZ Studio 4.6. Just point DS directory to your Poser runtime and it should all show up, and clothing and hair will conform as well.
