Applying (G8) Iray materials to a Linday hair prop - you just loaded on a G3 character - fail,
someone know why this is an issue? Same goes for most G8 cloth stuff you load on a G3 character - it return the same message: An error occured while reading the file, see the log for more details. (I read the log, but none of the information gives sense to me))I think I remember (it's been a long time) that some materials won't apply if a hair isn't parented to a character. Or in your case maybe a different character for which it was intended. Just a wild guess.
Materials that don't apply are usually H. Materials (Hierarchical), since they have to be applied in a very precise way and cannot be applied just anywhere.
@Legolas18 Good explanation - but, can't any "script" just be changed - to just apply the value, to what-ever material, "when clicked on" do you know? I can't find out what exactly controls "what" in a script file. If not, Merry Christmas to you - and all. Cheers.
@3dnoob Thank you , I'll try that.

@Frank21 It works on hair made for G8!, but - if the wig is loaded on a G3 character it does not.
That's what I said in my original comment. Load G8 and fit the hair, load the materials, unparent it and deleted G8, and then the load G3 and fit the hair.
But - no. Btw that trick can be used with the brilliant "Nylon Pantyhose" by iWave also for G8.
Sure it is a workaround, now parenting it to a G3 character, but not an optimal solution.Those iray shaders for a hair/prop, gotta work, for the hair it's made for, no matter if it's a hair prop that "sits" on a G3, or G8, (no questions asked IMHO).
There must be a way to make this work.
‐-------------
Click the hair then hold control while clicking the material. A little menu will pop up. Choose "selected". No idea if it works. Read it in a forum.
What prop is this, though? H.material will not apply by just double clicking the icon, you have to use a workaround.

No idea. It Just popped up in a search.
I've had a few encounters with it and if the item doesn't work after a few attempts I delete it.
ATM I've deleted my library and am rebuilding it so I can't do much investigating
