@corbeau Yes, my first crashes where with a complex figure whith geografts, geoshells and all the bells and whistles; my first reaction was that I was "asking too much", so I made a test with the simplest scene possible before starting this thread. The problem persisted.

I'm sorry you are having the same problem, but, at the same time, knowing that the issue is probably not related with my particular installation comforts me a little. Don't get me wrong and, by the way, Tatoo artist is almost as good and works as expected, even with those complex characters.

Hello, I'll probably give it a try, but I think I'll stick with manual install because I have acquired the habit of changing the original files' folder structure to something that makes more sense to me before installing anything and, after that, it's just copy and paste. When I was a 100% noob (now only 90%) I threw everything wherever any lunatic vendor had decided to place it, and here I am now, tidying up my chaotic runtime for weeks with no end in sight. Not only each vendor does whatever he wants, but also quite a few single vendors vary they criteria back and forth for no apparent reason. It's maddening.

Hello, it seems to be Wyrd: Nova

Which is also part of this bundle:

Death bringer bundle-2

Best regards,

EDIT: There is this item here, but I don't know if it has it, since it is NLA:

Death bringer bundle v4

@sandeep, you were right. Finally, I followed the solution posted all the end of this thread, which worked:

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/622535/

1) Export user data
2) Reset the database
3) Re-Import metadata

Thank you very much for your interest and your help on this subject! Have a small token of gratitude.

Best regards,

Yngvarr, just saw your post after replying Sandeep. I didn't know I could do that. I think I have all my items together under Products--> "LOCAL USER", because the rest of the alphabetical categories are almost empty. I'm scanning "LOCAL USER" right now, but it is taking forever, as one would expect. I'll consider this option too. Thanks a lot!!

EDIT: Just realized you two were talking about the same thing, lol. Thank you very much, both of you.

[Keab]

Sandeep, thank you very much for the trouble of writing such an elaborate answer. I will check the info you've provided but, I swear to you, 100% of my items have been manually installed.

Again, thanks a lot.

I swear to God, I think I have carefully deleted every single installed file, that's why it's been so painful. I guess I'm wrong? I don't know. Surely, creating a new library from scratch following eelgoo's advices would be the way to go, but... good lord, that's a lot of work. I need some break at the very least right now. First, I'll see if I can live with this. Otherwise, I'll try to rescan the directories or something like that and if I break anything... well, back to square one.

Thank you anyway!

Hello, I don´t have a proper answer, but, just in case you haven't done it yet, I'd check SquarePeg's stuff. Maybe you could kitbash something out of it.

Hello everyone. Like pooper says, I do not trust anything web based, especially when dealing with some not-so-legitimately acquired assets. Not even my ISP (but I just can't renounce to one of them). Trustworthyness issues aside, the more we depend on those services, the more power they have over us and, sooner or later, the more everything enshittifies as shareholders keep pushing unrealistically for an ever increasing quarterly bottom line.

Best regards,

@supreme-leech I would just settle with each asset having all its morphs and textures in a single folder. There's a Patreon creator in Pawchive called xXGoonxGoblinXx which puts his models' textures within the asset folder. Morphs, however, still go to the data folder; I suppose it's a technical limitation in DAZ, but to me, overall, this should be the way to go. Currently I'm uninstalling manually a bunch of unused assets and I'm beyond flabbergasted by the subfolder mess even a single vendor is able to create.

Excuse my little rant. Best regards,

[Keab]

Hello. When it was released I was thinking of updating to 4.24, but eventually decided to stick with 4.23 because I read some concerning complaints. So, 4.24.03 has proven to be good, hasn´t it?

Anyway, thanks a lot to pooper and everyone else who shares their installers for old versions !

Best regards,

[Keab]

Hello, Eelgoo's system is very good, it covers a lot of bases. I came up with something similar on my own, although less developed. If only I had read his posts before building my library...

Best regards,

[Keab]

Yeah, I've seen a lot of items tagged as "animals", just because it is the first tag alphabetically and people don't bother choosing the right one. However, I'd really like , for example, being able to do searches like "* hair *genesis 8*" or, at least, being able to search whole words, just not to get hairs mixed with chairs. This issue applies to general search too.

I guess asking for regular expressions would be too much... (just kidding)

Best regards,

[Keab]

I didn´t know her (joined this site too late), but her name is everywhere, so I understand her relevance and your grief. Rest in peace.
