In general I think there's just a big confusing mess of releases and no good documentation regarding which version of what is for which version of what else. I didn't have any luck with any combination of things *I* have downloaded, but I do think it's most likely a version mismatch issue. I am glad you got it working for you, though!
Thanks giang, to be clear I *completely removed* every bit of data in c:\programdata\reallusion before installing any version of CC, and i didn't have any versions previously installed before attempting to install 4.3 or 4.33 - so my process the first time was just to install 4.3.1815.1, then try to install headshot and skingen, and it didn't work. That was where I was at when I made this post. On subsequent attempts, I deleted the entire folder in C:\ProgramData\, removed the registry keys it created, removed all the metadata using the metadata removal tool, etc. None of these attempts were ever made with a previous version of the program installed. Thank you for the links, though, I will try these
ty giang. i have completely removed every bit of the program (in program files, c:\programdata\reallusion\, and c:\users\public\public documents\reallusion\) each time, tried this with both available 4.3x versions i could find (4.3.1815.1, 4.33.2302.1), and got the same error no matter what regarding the program not being found while trying to install the plugins. i DID discover that if the setup files include the .cab files (data1.cab, data2.cab) you can use a program called
UniExtract to actually extract the files that are packaged with the setup program and copy them manually into your various Reallusion directories in the same way we do with DAZ stuff. This worked for skingen - this only partially worked for either 2.00 or 2.01 of headshot, as the plugin shows up in the program but doesn't function. So, that's where I'm at with it.unfortunately, no combination of CC4 version and install location (whether on the c drive or other drives) makes any of this work for me. it's possible it's a windows 11 thing? no clue, but it's endlessly frustrating
which version of CC? i have tried headshot 2.00 and 2.01 with 4.3.1815.1, as well as two different versions of skingen, both released before cc 4.4
The rest is probably confusion on the vendor’s part, thinking you were making kiddie pr0n when in reality you were pointing out that his texture job needs work.
The irony is that he knows exactly what people use these models for by and large and the mf pasted genitals onto the torso map; the (mostly) hilarious part about all of it is exactly the sentiment that mxypztlk expressed - just own your shit man. RenderHub told me themselves that the only time there's even an issue regarding indecency is when the assets used to present items in the store itself contain poses or content which can be considered questionable specifically in how the vendor is marketing the item. I don't hate a pirate, and I don't even need their assistance in fixing shit, I just tend to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to feeling any sense of responsibility regarding the quality of their own work. Shrug.
Thanks for the info re: better rips. The primary and basically only reason I ever get DAZ rips for anything is it saves me time in making textures or porting assets (clothes, jewelry, etc), but even in this case I made my own head morph and had already modified the textures. It's always an attempt to save time, because like many of us I could do the entire process myself. I think it's just that after all of these years I still have some belief that people are engaged with the process of creation beyond a cash-out because of my own sense of pride in my own work, even when it's for money. Oh well!
Yeah absolutely. And for sure I made sure to look through this board and kinda got a feel for the sentiment regarding them. I will just make my own texture for the character, it's whatever. Learned my lesson
Update: RenderHub has just decided to refund the money and responded with this:
Greetings. The vendor did contact us, but they didn't "report" you.
The vendor may have overreacted, because we do have this in our Terms of Use:"You agree not to post Content which depicts, or could reasonably be construed as depicting, minor individuals posed, with or without clothing, in obscene, morally questionable and/or pornographic configurations or situations."
It sounded like they wanted to make sure we knew ahead of time that they weren't encouraging that kind of thing.
I have issued you a refund back to your PayPal.
I apologize if the vendor's response made you feel uncomfortable.
I hope your experience is better with other vendors here at RenderHub. We actually do have some very friendly and helpful vendors.Please let me know if you ever need assistance in the future.
Have a great day!Shrug. The vendor makes them money so I get it, but it does seem that they understand it was not a pleasant experience.
The ironic thing is that even as a professional artist who has lost money to stolen content and very similar things, I will buy shit if I like it and I don't have some intrinsic issue with people making money off of cheap conversions - people *want* them. In a sense I am kind of impressed with this vendor's recklessness as well as how easy it is to just go do these things on a site like renderhub. I just found it kind of ridiculous to respond to strongly in reference to elements which they put on the damn thing themselves. I would say it's too much to ask for pirates to be gracious but I know better, this site is full of some of the nicest people I have interacted with on the internet. It's just a shame.
