How to open RDS file?
The main problem with Ray Dream Studio Scene Format is that the RDS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RDS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RDS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install DAZ Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DAZ Studio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DAZ Studio into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RDS.
Programs to open RDS file
Remember to download programs supporting RDS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DAZ Studio with RDS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RDS file to open in the DAZ Studio application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RDS file with the DAZ Studio application.
Step 3. Update DAZ Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DAZ Studio program with the Ray Dream Studio Scene Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the DAZ 3D Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RDS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The RDS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RDS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RDS file. Sometimes virus-infected RDS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RDS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RDS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DAZ Productions, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RDS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RDS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RDS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
