So I mentioned before kinda screwing up using Content Gatherer. But it did have one amazing use. It kept a list of all the files used in a scene. So it made it easier to relocate which files I used or had to relocate again. I've probably spent about 150 dollar re-acquiring some old files. Luckily I'm a Daz, Renderosity, and Renderotica prime member, so I got a tonne of savings and freebies during the holidays.

What I did learn though is that when using older models to create new ones, you'd get files you never intended to use or had forgotten you used in them.
So now with Content gather having saved the DUF files. I install the files to daz, then double click the Duf. It loads all the available files, and I can see which files are sill missing. Giving me the option to go forward or try to locate them again.

What I've decided to do now is recreate several characters from scratch, including Psylocke, Mindseye, Jarine, and The Woman in Red. Those 4 will be my main focus.
While a newer created character Whiteout will still use a lot of the V4 files. 

I spent a lot of January just recovering old files, and some are gone forever. I even tried some torrent sites for those ultra rare files. 
I think I've come to the conclusion that starting over won't be so bad.
I still have the mats for Psylocke and Mindseye, those skins. But with IRAY, I'll have to reskin them or create new overlays.

Hopefully by mid-February things will be going again. I'll start posting some in progress pictures soon, once I finish Whiteouts comic.

You've really been hard at work!  It's definitely unfortunate when you have to start over, but sometimes you discover new ways of doing something that end up working really well!

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing your new works once you're all set up!
