A few renders from a project that I'm (slowly) working on. Lemme know what you think.

You're clearly putting a ton of time and effort into each frame/capture.

-The first shot I was thinking, "He's going berserk with all that and he'll never get past go."

-The second shot I like immediately. Every extra effort spent there was worth it. And in particular - an area I am mostly annoyed by being overlooked - the Expressions tell us plenty and the surroundings match the thought. I love it.

-The third shot also nails the effort spent on expression. It's not cheap, you did the lighting, etc to maximize a real moment there.


Keep on keepin on, bro!! Enjoy the getting there.

Maybe this is a bit off topic, but does anyone know of a good walkthrough for reinstalling Daz on a different drive? I had it installed on my C drive, but the size was becoming a bit of a problem. I would like to install it on my D drive, but even with the walkthroughs I've found it's still a mess. Files aren't loading properly, and I can't figure out exactly where I'm going wrong. I'm sure someone here has had the pleasure of trying to install on a different drive, so I'd love to hear how you got it to work.
It's been long enough that I cannot remember the Installation method (or options). But I DID foresee that problem. Installed DAZ on my SSD for speed - and all the addons to my partition/non SSD. I've begun throwing a ton of addons in there these last few months and I'm surprised how well and quickly it appears to retrieve that. Can't qualify any loss I might be seeing as a result of that HD/storage differential.

I basically set up a "mirror" folder for the "MY LIBRARY" on the HD with lots more space. And throw everything in there (spent a fair amount of time determining the file structure and encountered LOTS of issues there with some early/shitty addons/products). But now it's just simple cut and paste and it all loads quite effectively.

-To SUM UP: I did install DAZ on my SSD. All the "products" are thrown in another HD/partition. And there IS A WAY To tell DAZ how to point at that "outside access" storage but I do not remember how to go about that.

I can only tell you: it's definitely worth figuring out, cuz yeah - keep all that crap off your SSD!

Good luck.

This is the way it worked for me, but Daz is a fickle little bitch sometimes:

Copy your current My Daz 3D Library folder to wherever you want it.
In the Daz Content Library pane, right click the old My Daz 3D Library folder and click "remove base directory." That won't delete the folder, just removes it from Daz.
Right click Daz Studio Formats, choose "add a base directory" and point it to wherever you put the My Daz 3D Library folder.
That should be about it for getting Daz to see all your stuff.
You'll probably get prompted to manually find the files if you're trying to load old scenes though.

If you use Daz Install Manager, you can add the new folder under Advanced Settings -> Installation.
Click the plus icon in the bottom left and point it to where you moved your Library folder.
Then click the Content Path Shortcuts dropdown and choose the new path so it will install anything new to there.

I think that's it? If you Smart Content, I have no idea tbh. I gave up on trying to get that to work a while ago lol.
