Hello everyone,
i just recently downloaded
Sweet Night Lingerie Set for Genesis 8 Femalesfrom herehttps://zonegfx.com/sweet-night-lingerie-for-g8f/.And while the objects in itself work just fine(Dress, panty and necklace), for some reason, whenever i am trying to apply and use any of the appropriate texture that come with this asset on their objet, Daz is popping me an error. And do not apply any of the texture.
In the log file, it is written:
Invalid hierarchy for selected node(s) and "preset_hierarchical_material" type; no root(s) found.So i'm asking, does anyone else here who downloaded this asset here got this kind of error ? Was the file badly "Bundled up" ? Are some files missing ?
If anyone more knowledgable in Daz Studio file managing can look it up and explain what to do, i would be very thankful.Note: I manualy installed this asset. I always manualy install my asset all the same way and it's the first time ever that i got this error.
you can try to change material in the surface tab select the panty for example then expand all select all and click on the material / color you want to change.
Good luck
Yes, of course. I know that. (that's what i ended up doing as a temporary solution.)
But doing that it is still not like using the preset texture made orginaly for this asset. With all it's different change in parameter, which i don't know all of them.And doing that is still not really fixing the error that is happening about this asset that shouldn't be happening if the product was functioning right like all the others Daz Studio asset.
Hey,
That bit about "preset_hierarchical_material" means that you can only change the material if the clothing is fitted to G8F. It's dumb, but not a bug or glitch. The clothes just have to be on a G8F figure before you chan change the material with those presets.
So if you have fitted them on a G2F or G3F or even just on their own in a scene and NOT fitted to a G8F, it won't work.
BTW, there is a missing texture - p3d_sweetnight_babydoll_notr.jpg - which is used to remove the lace but that in it's self wouldn't cause this error.
Oh!!!
Whhaat! I didn't know that was a thing!
Yes, i am currently using that piece of asset on a G2F character. (I first converted the asset to G3F, and then auto-fitted it to my G2F character.)
Thinking something was weird, i also just spawned the asset alone in a scene and tried changing it's texture.....Just like you said....Well that blow me away....and that's such a bummer!!!
I never use G8F characters. And seldomly use sometime a piece of clothing or hair from Genesis 8. The fews one i used previously didn't had that problem. So i didn't know that.Well thank a lot Amberleaf for the information. I learned something new today!!
Hey,
No problem anytime.
if this is an item you really really want to use on a GF2 and don't mind waiting until the weekend, I can get the textures redone and working for GF2.
Just let me know.
🙂Nah, i'm good. Like i said previously, i somewhat tinkered manualy a texture that was fitting my need in the meantime.
Unless someone pop up in the meantime here and say yes they are interested in such a thing for this asset.
I'm just more than gratefull on the other hand for the explanation and knowledge you gave up. At least i know now that this asset is working "as intented". And now know what to expect.
Still...i can't believe Daz (or maybe it's the doing of some assets's creator) pulled such a low move like that. Why change the rules and something that was working fine since....years! Geesh!
Guess it's their "subtle" sneaky way of telling people to stop using old genesis figure and push them slowly on using/buying new genesis characters. -_-
