Where to find the normal maps of the Daz characters?

Hey,

I bought this character.

In the description it says "Normal Maps On/Off Presets" + 27 Texture, Bump, Normal and Specular Maps (4096 x 4096), but I cannot find these textures.I went to Textures/Daz/Characters/Genesis3/Sunny and I see all kind of textures, but they don't have normal maps. I check my other character Lilith7 and the normal maps for her where there, Olympia7 also has them.

Sunny 7 textures folder

    Try using the Normal Maps On option, then check the surfaces tab for the normal maps and see if it has added them and fromm that you can browse to find where they loaded from.

    EDIT : I don't have that option in Materials when I select Sunny 7. I do have it for the other characters though...

    I am home now and I have the product, so let me see what I have ...

    It is wrong to say that there is a normal map on/off preset - I will report this.

    It's best if they provide the normal maps in the package, since all of the other characters have them included and I am buying them for the exact same price (except Olympia which is pro bundle).

    Ok, loaded up G3F and tracked down the Sunny product - there's an 'apply all maps' option, 2 settings (for translucnecy), and apart from other basdic stuff (makeup, eyes, etc.) nothing else. Which tends to suggest the product page is wrong.  And no normalmap in the products texture location, either - the desciption is correct, nmerically, there are 47 texture files, just no normals.

    Is there a way to report that, so they add the normal maps?

    Through the bug reporting mechanism

    They may also correct the product page so it doesn't claim non-existent normal maps, unless they were omitted in error. As noted above, I have reported this issue.

    Keep me updated if they send you a mail with a response.

    I just bought Mika 7 and she does not have normal maps as well...

    Description:

    38 Texture, Bump, Normal and Specular Maps (4096 x 4096)

    OK, added Mika 7 to the report - thank you.

    The product pages should have been corrected to reflect that lack of normal maps - if those were crucial for you you should open a support tcket to request a refund.

    No, I was hoping they will add the normal maps to the package, but in that case I will have to use the characters without normal maps.

    Im having exactly the same issue with Floyd 8 - it says loads of maps are included, but I can't find them, nor do they export

    Maps or materials? How did you install? Is this still the FBX issue? If so, please keep using the original thread on that.
