Brow Colors Won't Apply on Tess for G8F

dawnblade

I have the latest update for Tess for G8F, but I can't get any of the hierarchical brow color materials to apply. I first use the actor character preset, then with Tess selected I apply either the "Tess 01 Brows Mat" preset or the "Tess 03 Freckles Brows Mat" preset in Tess Materials. Those work fine.

Then I tried all of the hierarchical brow colors in Tess Eyebrows, but none of them work. There is no error in the log file, and if I hover over Undo, it doesn't show that they applied. I'm in NVidia Iray mode, not Texture Shaded. The other presets work fine, such as eye colors, lips, and makeup (although they are not hierarchical).

I'm accessing the presets through Content Library not Smart Content. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Just a note that there is no separate brow object in the scene tab.

Have you loaded the bow figure?

The materials under Tess Materials were all I could find that related to brows. They either hide/show the brows, freckles etc. I did not see a separate brow accessory, either there or in Smart Content. Do you know if there is one and where it is located? I'm away from my PC right now. Thanks Richard.

I don't have Tess but the product page lists fibremesh brows. If you open the product in Smart Content they may be under Anatomy, Facial Hair, or Hair - unfortunately this isn't consistent between products, even from the same vendor.

I checked Anatomy but didn't see it. Will check the other areas you mentioned. I should have looked at the Readme file. Will do that when I get home. Thanks again, Richard.

Found the eyebrows attachment in Anatomy under Tess. However, only 3 of the 4 brow colors are working: blonde doesn't change either the base color or the glossy color, which is the dark brown material. Sigh. 

Ticket submitted.

Thank you Daz for fixing Tess' blonde eyebrow material!

Anyone know why I'm getting black dots across her face? I checked this post but changing skin surfaces SS Type from Chromatic to Mono made it much worse--there were dark areas like she had a beard along with transparent areas in her skin.

I'm using Boss lights, scene only setting. Firefly filter is on by default. Mitchell at 1. I rendered this for 15,000 iterations. Latest DS build 4.10.0.123 Pro 64 bit, Win10 Pro.

The black dots seem to be an issue with her and BOSS Lights. I switched to Pro Studio and the black dots are gone. Not sure why I can't use BOSS Lights with this character, but at least I have a workaround.
