Fellow renderosity community!

I have purchased several 3d assets from Renderosity. I tried installing them myself (by putting the .zip package into the My Library folder and unpacking it into it's folders (the folder paths inside the zip matched with my folder), but I couldn't find my assets.

Then I have bought Daz Auto Installer and had it install the asset zips, however I still can't find them. They neither appear in Smart Content nor in the Content Library pane (maybe I search in the wrong places of these panes?).

Restarting Daz Studio did not help either.

Can somebody help me?

Best regards

I'm sorry, if this is the wrong location for this post...I couldn't find a better one...

Which assets did you purchase?  If everything was installed exactly as the zip package was set up then it should appear in the proper category.  Maybe take a screencap of your library set up in both your browser and DS.  Maybe we're missing something obvious that wasn't explained in detail.

That's the zip folder:

Nothing will appear under Products or Categories without metadata, and without the emtadata being inserted or imported. Look under Daz Studio Formats>Content directory used (e.g. My Library)

That one zip file you posted only contains texture files that are associated with the actual product.  The product contains 6 zip files.  In the image below, this is where you should be looking in turns of your own library.  I have highlighted where to begin.

You're not going to find manually installed content from Renderosity in your Smart Content, just a fyi. Smart Content, by default, gets installed in My Daz 3D Library(typically found in C: > Users > Public > Public Documents on your system) and should show up in both your Smart Content tab within Daz Studio and in your Products folder that will have subfolders 0-1 & A-Z when you expand it. Renderosity content installed from the zip files need to be going in My Library, located by default in C: Users > MyUserName > Documents(or "My Documents") > Daz3D > Studio > .

To find this content in Daz Studio, you need to look for it in Daz Studio Formats > My Library.

Another thing to make sure is that you're downloading & installing ALL of the necessary zip files for the product. Some products have required multiple zip files while others have optional ones. I'm not sure about the OBJ -only zips, but the zip files labled "Templates" or that only contain templates are not necessary unless you plan on making your own custom texture sets for the given product.

Showing in Smart Content or not (or in Products or categories in the Content Library, or in the presets tabs in Property panes) has no connection with the file location or how they were installed. In order for files and/or products to show in one of those views they have to have database entries (created from the supplied metadata - manually isntalled content with metadata requires a manual import of the metadata) and, for Smart Content and the presets, that must include compatibility settings.
