Noob Question - Headshop 14 doesn't work?

Hey all!

As the title suggests, I'm new to Daz.

Let me know if this should go somewhere else since it's mostly about Headshop.

  • I bought a full $109 license to Headshop 14 (mistake?), because I liked the advertised features, however it doesn't seem to work as advertised.
  • I have a default installation of DAZ 3D using the Daz Install Manager (installation directory is C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D) with nothing else added. 
  • I have closely followed the tutorial videos and text multiple times. 
  • I am able to launch DAZ (current standard version 4.15 Pro downloaded straight from website), and I am able to click Edit>Start Headshop 
  • However when I actually attempt to export anything I get the following error from attempting a folder that does not exist on the current installation (Runtime/Faceshop). There is no Faceshop subfolder there:

    I can't help with the Headshop technical problems. I hope you find the help you need, but know that you have 30 days from date of purchase to return the product for a refund, if you are dissatisfied with it. If you decide to go that route, submit a help request to ask for a refund. $109 is way too much to waste on something that doesn't work.

    Yes, and so the solution is to put one there ;-)  EXACT location. Might want to then make a desktop shortcut for it. And after each texture set is made, go there and either slide it into another sub-folder you make there OR transfer them to another folder [i.e. to an external drive] BECAUSE each project will over the previous one if/when using the same figure's textures.

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\FaceShop\fs\SmoothedModelTextures

    Also make sure that the D/S temp folder is the Default one as per image.

  • Throwawaytales has had a skype/screen share session and we were able to find a solution in 5 minutes flat. He also forgot to mention, that he installed HeadShop via DAZ Central and IM - neither of which can be used with HeadShop. As the README clearly states, HeadShop has its own installer that, when used, installs on the correct location.

  • Well that's a major minor detail! Glad to hear that he got it working :-)
