Hello,

I just purchased the Pumps 4 for Genesis 8 Female(s) and while they load into the scene properly from the Smart Content tab, whenever I try to apply a material color I get this error:

"An error occurred while reading the file, see the log file for more details."

This is the relevant portion of the log file:

Can anyone help me interpret how to fix this?

 

THANKS

    No, I have the shoes (Pumps 4) selected when I load the materials.

    Try selecting Genesis 8 - it sounds as if it is using a Hierarchical Materials preset, which affects  items in a tree - the shoes will also, if that is the case, need to be parented to Genesis 8.

    Well, tan my hide. That works. Thanks so much, mate! Really appreciate when people take time to help others here. Brilliant!

    So what is that DOESN'T work and you still are getting the same error?

    So what happens if you've fitted this to a G3 figure? I'll tell you. It will never recognize it, to you'll never be able to pose or apply textures. Way to go.

    The way round that is, frustratingly, to load G8, fit the shoes to G8, load the material. Then select the shoes, save the shoe texture as material preset for the shoe only. Do the same for every mat preset. Finally fit the shoes to G3, delete G8. That way you only ever need to do it once. 

    Regards,

    Richard
