Linking to Converted Clothing

{ August 22, 2018 @ 3:02 pm } · { 3D Tutorials }

This is a tip for people who may be using RiverSoftArt’s wonderful Clothing Converter from Genesis 3 Female to Genesis 8 Female for Daz Studio.

If you’re like me and…

1. Don’t use Smart Content, but rather browse the Content Library
2. You followed River’s suggestion and placed your converted clothing somewhere other than your main content library
3. You’re running Windows 7 or later

…I might have a tip for you to make your converted content easier to find.

1. 1. Find the full path to your converted clothing. (e.g. c:\users\jonnyray\documents\DAZ 3D\Studio 4\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing)
   2. Open a command prompt as an administrator
      1. Start -> Run -> cmd.exe
      2. right click and say Run as Administrator
      3. click OK on any security warnings)
   3. Change your command prompt location to the location of your main clothing folder for Genesis 8 Female.
      cd “c:\users\public\documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My DAZ Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing”
   4. Create a symbolic link to the converted clothing path you found in step 1…
      mklink /D “Converted from G3F” “c:\users\jonnyray\documents\DAZ 3D\Studio 4\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing”

 

What this will do is create a “folder” in your Genesis 8 Female\Clothing folder called “Converted from G3F” that will point to the location where the converter is putting your clothes. It won’t show the metadata tags like “Wardrobe” and such, but everything will load just like it loads from the actual location and you don’t have to browse two different content library structures to find your converted clothing.
