Importing OBJ / FBX character models and using in DAZ (Solved)

Hi All.

I've bought a few character/model packs from RenderHub. I have managed to import either the OBJ or FBX models into DAZ and applied each one's textures to the characters. It is a laborous project so i would like to do this and then somehow bake or combine or whatever the terminology would be to "mesh" together the model ot its texture.

Image attached you can see how it looks. My issue is. I save each model as a Subset scene and then just pop into whatever scene i need the subset to be in and save the overall scene. Then i moved that over from my "Work-PC" to my "Render-PC" to do the rendering. Of course now the Render-PC complains and says the textures are missing and i end up rending just a pink or white object and i have to Spot fix each rendered images afterwards. 

Surely the texture can be meshed with the Subset somehow so that i dont have to redo this.
Just for info the subset scene and textures / assets are all located on my NAS device to both PC's have access to them.

Thx.

    You should save your textures in a Daz Studio content library under Runtime/Textures/...

    Then Daz Studio will use a relative path. If not stored in a DS library it will use an absolute path.

    Hi Felis.

    Thank you for answering. Currently i have Runtime/BG People folder. If this doesnt work then I'll do as you suggest.  Runtime/Textures/...

     

    EDIT: Actually i see what you mean. Let me move it to location you suggesting.

    If going for cross-PC rendering, better store tex. maps to your Daz Library / runtime folder on NAS first, then assign them to the surfaces of the figure... otherwise you have to assign them again...
