Daz [Solved] How to create a character in DAZ

[RuskinSalmon]

Hello, I downloaded a character from here and extracted it to the `\DAZ 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\My DAZ 3D Library\`. But I can't create a character in DAZ using the downloaded files. It seems that the "Figure" or something is missing.
What should I do? Download a character with "Figure" and replace the body or something? Thank you for your help!

Most of the time, you need to load a genesis 8 female base figure (or whatever gen, in your screenshot it's 8) and have it targeted when applying heads and bodies.

Characters are mostly morphs to an existing figure.

Thank you very much, I've successfully created the character.
But I realized that it seems to contain only the body and facial features, but not the hair, clothes, movement, etc. It doesn't look like the promotional image. Is this normal？Or am I missing or doing something wrong?

It's normal. All those things are assets you add to your character. Some things are often included such as skin and makeup (you still have to apply them).

Stuff like hairs and clothes are almost never included unless it's a bundle.

Poses and expressions are also sold (or pirated ...) separately most of the time.

Then there's lighting and such things. You have a long journey ahead of you.

You have to buy every single thing you see in promotional pictures separately (what comes in package is character, lips color/s and few things like that you see on the character), that includes also searching for them on daz store or internet.

Emm...what does "* Preset Characters " mean？
I thought it would be a complete character or something like that, but I can't find it in the DAZ library

Emm...what does "* Preset Characters " mean？

Basically speaking, it's the shape of the character.

More in depth, it's the morph to apply to the base character (Usually the Genesis model for the correct generation, a bit less frequently the Victoria/Michael model, rarely another model) in order to reach the shape for this character.

Imagine you have a character creation in a game. Where one slider is 0-100 and 0 means basic and 100 means completely different character but you still have to setup hairs and so in different tab. That is a preset where basic female genesis is 0 and a full character is 100.
At daz store, for 99% you are buying it with skin and things like that that character needs like
Face Options LIE Options Eyes Colors Lips Colors Eyelashes Map Fingernails Colors Toenails Colors and more.
As post up says, looks what you are buying, the more you will work with daz the more you will know and it will be you daily thing and you will not even look at these things and will automaticly doing these things.

Easire said = What you buy in 97% cases is character with skin without hair and clothes or just the preset without anything just with the slider/morph that will morph your basic gen8/9 to that character look/preset.
