I've been experimenting with hair styles and colors for a character I created.





The woman the character is based on for the story is someone who changes her hair style and color a few times a year.
Personally, the first style is the right style for this girl that checks her personality point.

From my upcoming first game, "A Date With Emily" :D Making pretty good progress currently, the game will be ready before the end of the month. I'm excited to get my first project out into the world, it feels good to create something and complete it, even if it's a fairly short game. But creating it gives me experience that will be needed to make something bigger in the future :)

The DIM installer also imports the metadata for smart content (if the asset has metadata) to work properly. Another reason to use DIM rather than manually unzipping files. Note that Renderosity and Renderotica files mostly do not contain the Smart Content data, so it really doesn't matter how you install packages from those marketplaces.

Forgot to quote who I was responding to.
i guess that was me ;) But as i said: trouble starts when i open the installer Maybe i am too stupid to figure out how to tell this app where to search for the new content. (looked through the menues but i am obviously blind... )

is there any benefit using the installer compared to accessing the content via contentlibrary?

Yeah it was you, DIM installs a directory structure that looks like this,
Install Manager
Packages
Thumbnails
ManifestFiles
I have never seen anything in Thumbnails and ManifestFiles is basically a log of everything you installed and when. If you pull a file from here or other sites, take the .rar file and open it with either WinRAR or 7Zip then drag and drop the internal .zip file into the Packages subdirectory. DIM only works with .zip files with an internal file structure that is similar to your DAZ library. Everything originating from the DAZ store is in this format. Almost everything originating from Renderosity is also in this format. Almost nothing originally from Renderotica is in this format and is better installed manually.

If you buy something from the DAZ store, it can automagically add the file to the Ready to Download tab in DIM and it is easy from there.

So basically DIM does not 'search' for files to install in your DAZ library, it only looks in the specific Packages location. If it isn't there DIM doesn't know about it.
