Material for selected figure will not apply

KaysiRyder

Using Hudson figure, Hudson selected in scene, went to Materials>Iray, options all appear for facial hair. Double click and nothing happens. It did before, suddenly now it doesn't.

I double check that "Hudson" is selected in the scene. Clothing applied as expected, eyebrows applied as expected, The beard is just non responsive

Any help is appreciated

According to the file list in the readme there's a "Hudson Apply Beard" preset which I suppose should be used first. Is that the one you have problems with?

KaysiRyder

Yes. Steps as follows:

I load the Hudson 8 figure,

- Make sure "Hudson" is selected in the scene panel
- Go to Materials Drop down
-Select "Iray"
All of the Hudson available presets appear in the panel. MAny diiferent beard colors
-I double click one - and nothing happens

No issue with clothing or the eyebrows

Is Hudson slected in surfaces tab?

KaysiRyder

I just checked, it wasn't. I checked it, then again double clicked the beard. The bame "Hudson flickers in the scene, but nothing is applied or added to the scene tree

This window (attached) popped up when I tried one of the beards (not all of them, most do nothing)

Do I need to redownload and install something? It worked just fine earlier

Did you use the “apply beard” preset first or just one of the beard colors? The color presets can’t work if the beard isn’t loaded.

@KaysiRyder, To expand on what Leana is saying, the Hudson Beard is a separate object.

If your scene shows Hudson without a beard, you will need to locate the preset, Hudson Apply Beard, and double-click. Once the beard is showing, with Hudson selected, double-clicking on the material presets should change the color of the beard.

If your scene shows Hudson with a beard and material presets are not applying with Hudson selected, or with Hudson selected, the Hudson Apply Beard preset is giving you the error in your attached image two posts back, there is probably something else going on. If so, my first recommendation would be to save the scene, exit Daz Studio, and reboot your computer. (I used to work in tech support for a local internet service provider, and it was amazing how many problems could be solved by just rebooting the computer!)
