G3F Texture on G8F preview

3dOutlaw

I am working on a G8F version of my G3F character, but when I apply the G3F textures to G8F, I get this glowy cartoony preview, versus the normal preview.

If I copy paste the same texture from G3F it works without this glowy thing going on...but I dont think I can do that with eyes and such, and I want the option to change makeup wihtout having to load G3F every time.

Any thoughts on why that occurs?

Richard, can you move this to the technical help forum?

Done. How are you applying the textures? If the shader is different then Copy/Paste won't update it, just settings with the same name.

Moved the thread - you can do that yourself by editing the first post and clicking the forum name above the title, which will open a drop down list of available forums

OK, thanks I missed that.  

For the process:

1. Find the G3F Mats in the content library and double click them to apply to G8F = Glowy skin on left
   
   versus...
    
2. Find the same G3F Mats in the content library, apply them to G3F, then click G3F Skin, Copy, click G8F, Paste = Skin looks good, like on the right.

I have never had a problem applying G3F mats to G8F, but a lot of G3F figures had both, 3DL and Iray materials and applying one on a surface that's already using the other, doesn't always work the way it should.

OK, I did some testing (tried a lot of shaders) and it seems it was a problem with that shader in particular, and lo and behold, I noticed an "Updated Iray Shaders" folder in there, which then worked as expected.  My bad, seems it was a shader specific problem and a fix already exists.  It was for Fredel's retro heroine btw, in case anyone stumbles across this, or searches for it.  Thanks for the replies!
