    Sorry I find it hard to search for a good answer to this in Google... but suppose I have created a G8F and want to export it to a package so that I can share (actually right now I only want to share it to another computer I just bought at this moment so no copyright issues I think.)

    How to create a Daz3d G8F package that is also DIM installable (so that I can share)? I found it very messy to link the textures to the person in another computer if I just copy and paste the directories! Always missing something when I load it into Daz studio on another computer! I have to learn this from beginning...

    I usually work offline so I prefer exporting it to a zip and copy it to another computer I have by SD card and install it there with DIM

    I believe there should be a smart build-in or plug-in or add-on that helps with this with one click as long as I have a scene and choose an object. If so, please let me know.

    Please also let me know where I can find a clear tutorial for this! Thanks!

    Best is here:

    Content Package Assist

    Of course, before using the "Content package assist" or the "Ghaterer", you need to have the textures and elements inside the typical structure, without absolute paths: For example, it is NOT the same as "D:\Projects\My project xx\Textures&Material\face.jpg" than "Runtime\Textures\CreatorX\CharacterX\face.jpg". Everything in its place (duf, dfs, png's...)
    With the Gatherer you avoid this of looking for the absolute paths, since it makes them relative within the zip, but once the zip is done, you decompress it and use the "Package assist". The latter automatically generates the support dsx for you to install/uninstall and for the CMS database...
