 I'm having a bit of confusion concerning the Apollo Maximus figure and the supporting products for it. I recently downloaded all the required files and a few extra files for use in DAZ Studio 4. I did this because my collection of male figures is light, and the ones I have are scarce on clothing options. Michael 4 is the only fully male figure I have for DS, and the Genesis figure has limited male clothing options unless you pay an arm and a leg for the Genesis Super Suit, or buy the other male clothing for Genesis at the DAZ 3D store. There is clothing for sale for the M4 figure as well; however, I am very limited on funds for such things. This is why I decided to go for the Apollo Maximus figure, which has a large selection of clothing in all styles available.

After downloading the files I extracted them all before doing any installations, and as is my routine and habit, I explored the different folders to see what was in them. To my disappointment I found that there is no actual base figure that I can recognize as such. If one exists among these files, it is not readily obvious, and is listed with a nondescriptive name, (it does not have a name that indicates that this is the base figure). So I have morphs, materials, textures, UV maps, and clothing for the figure; yet as far as I can tell, no figure to apply them to. For this reason I have not installed anything yet, nor will I until I am sure that I have the base figure I need for all the other stuff.

If anybody knows about this figure and its supporting products, I would greatly appreciate any information concerning this matter. Someone that has the figure and uses it, or has done so in the past, would definitely be a plus for what I wish to know. If it turns out that the base figure is no longer available, I'll just have to delete all files associated with it and chalk it up to a great deal of time and effort wasted. Hopefully, that will not be neccessary. I plan to revisit the website right after I post this message to see if there is something I missed. If I cannot find a missed product, I will be referring back here to see what is being contributed to this thread.

Stay awesome!
