piratess hair trouble

wbrand7

so i just got the piratess hair and the hair part is fine its just the scarf thats the problem when i choose the first three textures for the scarf it works but when i try the other ones this is what i get

Yes, that's right. What's happening is that the scarf is using a custom shader that the Viewport can't show properly. You won't be able to see it until you render. It isn't anything going wrong, it's just a limitation in the way the Viewport works — a lot of custom shaders will look very odd until you render.

FWIW, if you go to the Surfaces tab and click on the various hair materials, you'll see the scarf and other parts have changed their Shader setting (at the top) from "DAZ Studio Default" to "cloth".

i just renderd it nothing the cloth is the same in iray 

but in 3delight it worked

It didn't work in Iray because the custom shaders are for 3Delight. Shaders made for one render engine do not work in another one.

Don't forget, D|S4.8 with the brand shiny new Iray shader has only been out for a couple of months. The Piratess hair has been out for a year — it couldn't have been made to work in Iray, and it won't be unless it gets updated.
