FSD[ ddImages ]

• Automate image changes using custom data fields, datasets and asset lists.
• ddImages changes will automatically update live in an OBS scene

Important

The primary directory ddImages cannot be renamed. ddImages does not use Apache and therefore has no hierarchical method to manage data paths. The directory named ddImages is used for relative pathing.
