Viz Artist Folders

This section details the location of the Viz Artist default installation and data folders.

Installation Folders

The default installation folder for Viz Artist is C:\Program Files\Vizrt\VizArtist\.

In this User Guide, any reference to the Viz Artist installation folder is replaced with the text <viz install folder>.

Note: Viz configuration files that already exist from a previous installation are automatically copied on install time if the installation folder did not change. If Viz Artist is installed in a different installation folder then Viz configuration files must be manually copied from the old installation folder to <viz data folder>.

Data Folders

Files which are created or modified by Viz Artist are located in %ProgramData%\Vizrt\VizArtist. By default, this is C:\ProgramData\Vizrt\VizArtist. This folder is referenced as <viz data folder> throughout this User Guide. The folder contents include:

  • Viz configuration files,

  • Script plug-ins,

  • Crash dump files.

Script plug-ins are located in the <viz data folder>\ScriptPlugins subdirectory.

Note: Script plug-in files that already exist from a previous installation are automatically copied on install time if the installation folder did not change. If Viz Artist is installed in a different installation folder, then Script plug-in files must be manually copied from the old installation folder to <viz data folder>\ScriptPlugins.
