Quote - I have Apollo for some time now but I have yet ben able to dress him as part 4 has never been added to the download files and I think that it may have the needed "cr2" files that the clothing is missing. As I use DAZ3&4, Maximus will load just fine if anyone has the part 4 and or the cr2 files for the clothing, please list them here so at long last I can use him and dress him
So if you are correct about this, Part 4 is needed to make the clothing load onto the figure? If this is so, how are the clothes being loaded in the pictures I have looked at that are using the Apollo Maximus figure?
I checked out some of the other websites that have rendered pictures of Apollo Maximus in several of his different clothing styles. So let's hope the Part 4 package is not needed for this. If it is, we need to know where to find it, as there has not been any new uploads to the site for a few years that I know of.
It must not be a neccessary file, because if it was, you would not be able to find new products for the figure. I know that there are several websites that offer products for this figure which have been produced in the last couple of years. This indicates to me that the character base can be dressed, and can be equipped with the many props available for it.
At any rate, I plan to go ahead and install all of the content and then open DAZ Studio and test the products to see if they all work correctly. Once this is done, I will post a message here to let you know either way. If the content is useful, and I can figure it out, I think you and I will need to stay in contact so that we can figure out what you need to do.
This is something that if you are not doing it, you need to: The main readme file suggests that you keep it open as a reference guide until you get the hang of how the Apollo Maximus figure works. In addition to that, I would suggest that you open the other readme files as well and refer to them for added information that could be a help to you. Also, I think there are a few tutorials available that deal with Apollo Maximus. Perhaps you could do a search for them. I know that I will.
One thing I do know is that the readme for a product is usually provided so that the user can find the product and learn how it is used. Products that do not have readme files can be very difficult to work with. It took me six or seven months to find a product in my DAZ Studio content library one time because there was no readme file with it. I found it only by happening upon it during a separate project. So readme files are quite important to me, because they can mean the difference between getting a bad headache or not.
Anyways, try the readme files and see if that helps, then let me know what the verdict is.
Stay awesome!
