How do i get daz3d content for free, i know there is the weekly free stuff but that is manly random things i believe are not selling. I've noticed daz3d stuff can get pricey real fast and i dont have the money for that.

So is there a way to get free content and put it into daz3d? ive tried something like this in the past but when i imported the items it had a hard time reading them, so it dident work.

it's simpler. You just need to create a CONTENT folder anywhere on your pc or external drive. for example: mine is at Z:\MyDazLibrary\Content, for the sake of disk-space and backups.

Then for your downloaded stuff, you don't even need to extract the downloaded stuff. just open the zip (7zip) and drag the Content folder to your "created" content folder. (saves some clicks when you got a ton to install).

Then in Daz, right click the Content Library tab and choose Content Directory Manger, look for DAZ Studio Formats, then add the path to your newly created Content folder there. This way you have separate libraries with the stuff you purchased and the ones you downloaded.

Then you just need to go to the Content Database Maintenance and Process Metadata Queue, so the stuff will appear in your Smart Content.
