Need help with glasses

EJWorks

I bought this bundle while it was on sale https://www.daz3d.com/raine-bundle In the promo pictures they can be shades or eye glasses. But when I render pictures using these they always darken like shades and the eyes of the character are no longer visible. When I try to go into surfec shader to try and make it transluscent there's no option for that. When I look at the options for the glasses mat they have "Transparent high resolution" and "transparent low resolution." but applying them doesn't change any thing. Has anyone used this product and had this problem? Should I delete it from my run time and reload? Or is there something else I should do that I haven't figured out yet?

 

Thanks

Are you rendering in Iray or 3dl?

if you are rendering in Iray, I would personally go to the Iray shaders that come with DS and apply the Iray glass shader to the lens.

Or you could lower the Opacity/Cut out opacity.

There are two different ways of changing the colours of an object; Material presets and Shader presets. Materials define the name of each surface in the object, and how the surface parameters should be set up. Just select the object, and click on the Material preset. Note that Materials only work on the object they've been made for, because only that object has the correct surface names.

Shaders are general-purpose; they can be applied to any surface with any name — and it looks like this is what the Raine glasses have. There's an extra step needed to use a shader; you have to select the object, and also select which surface on the object, then click on the Shader preset. If you don't select a surface, then (as you've found out) nothing happens when you click on the preset.

You can either select the Surfaces tool and click on the glasses lens to select both at once, or you can select the object then select the surface from the Surfaces Pane.

I'm having the same problem here with the SPEX For Genesis and none of the solutions mentioned above worked..

SPEX for Genesis only come with 3DL materials.  You need to apply Iray shaders to them.
