Shaders and Generation 4 Statues help

Hi All,
I just purchased the Generation 4 Statues Product to convert my Victoria 4 and Michael 4 figures to statues. It says in the description of the product that it can make a statue out of any Victoria 4 or Michael 4 figure including hair and clothes. I know that these are shaders and I am able to get my Victoria 4 character to look like a statue but no the clothes or hair. When I try it on a Michael 4 figure or any clothes, hair or (genitals for Michael 4) nothing happens. I even applied the shaders and did a quick render thinking that it might show up their but no luck. I am new to doing the shader and have tried other types and I have no luck with them either. Is there some setting that I need to change to get these to work? Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks
Rich

    With Shaders you generally have to have the item selected in the scene tab as well as the material zone, so you'd need to select the hair as well as the clothing before applying the Shader to them.

    Ok! That is what I was doing wrong. I tried it on several images and that works great. Thanks a million.:)

    I'm afraid this explanation still doesn't help me. Just what is the proper step by step procedure with hair and clothes? I guess my problem is I really don't understand how the shader thing works.

    In the Scene Tab select the Hair by NAME only. In the Surfaces TAB select all the material zones, NOW apply the Statue Shader. Now move on to the clothing, do one peace at a time of clothing ect ect ect..
    Some Items may not work properly if they use lots of transparency maps (many hairs do as well as some clothing).

    Still not working. Where I'm falling apart is the second step with the Surfaces tab because I don't understand the "select all the material zones" point. As my example I've loaded Victoria 4.2 and then selected the Marble statue option. Now I add "Siren Hair" and I have that highlighted on the Scene Tab, but now with materials in the Surface Tab am I supposed to highlight all the choices and then click on the Statue shader?

    Update-Okay, I'm starting to get it. If I have any further trouble I'll chime in again. Thanks.
