I believe this has since been resolved by manual installation of the assets.
There are many tutorials available for Daz, including some as linked in my sig, however you are best to pretty much just jump in with both feet. As very high level tips:
- Download Daz 4.11 from the Daz site.
- Get some basic assets such as Victoria 8, Michael 8. Basically pick any male or female asset you like.
- Also make sure you get the basic morph assets as below:
- Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs
- Genesis 8 Female Head Morphs
- Genesis 8 Male Body Morphs
- Genesis 8 Male Head Morphs
When first starting to render I would suggest that you use a HDRI that will provide the lighting and background. It's easy to get fairly good results using a HDRI and it's also converges quickly. The assets as mentioned above should be available on this site, however if you end up getting further into Daz, procuring from the Daz site will support the artists that produce the asset content.
