2. You can find the desired content from the sorted folders, or activate the Show Subfolder Items checkbox at the lower-left corner to view all items in subfolders.
   
   * The Item View displays all available items from the embedded contents, free resource packs, or the packs you purchased, in the All filter by default.
3. Select the Actor and Character category nodes in the tree-view, or quickly switch to the category by clicking the Category Buttons at the top.
   
4. Apply the desired character using either one of the following methods:
   • Double-click on the item thumbnail.
     
   • Select the item and click the Apply button on the bottom left.
     
   • Drag the item to the viewport.
     
     Note:

     There are different applications for drag-and-droping image-based media content, such as 2D Background (.jpg), Texture (.png) and Video (.wmv, .popVideo). Please refer to the Drag-and-Drop to Preview Window section for more information.

5. Make sure the character is selected. Switch to the Cloth category and then its sub-nodes: Shirts, Pants, and Shoes to apply a new clothes for the character with any of the methods described in the previous step.
   
   * You can activate the Filter by Base Type checkbox to only show compatible items for the current character.

   When applying a Material Plus content created by Reallusion, its base mesh (Actor, Hair, Cloth, Accessory or Prop content) will be applied together in order to fully demonstrate the Material Plus content.
   
   The base mesh are downloaded and installed along with the Material Plus content you obtained. You can right-click on the content and execute the View Related command to find out its relative content.
   

7. If the current clothing is not replaced and is stacked together instead, then pick the unwanted clothing and press the Delete key to remove it from the character.
   
   Note:

   Sometimes, you may find it's hard to pick the desired object as there are multiple objects overlaid in the viewport. In this case, you can also select the target object in the Scene Manager.
   

8. Repeat the above steps to apply an item from the Accessory category, and a body pose from the Animation category. Now your character will be dressed with items of different categories and different packs.
