Saving Character Preset: Eyelashes Problem...

TomCatOliver

I've created a custom character - morph and textures - and now I'm trying to save it as a character preset, but it loads up with the default G8F lashes texture instead of the lashes that I'm saving it with.

I'm doing: Save As > Character Preset, then in the pop up dialogue "shape settings" and "material settings" are ticked. "Post Load" is ticked and the script path is correct, but while it loads complete with the eyelashes geograft, the lashes texture map is just the default G8, not the one that is loaded on the figure when I'm saving it.

Other characters that I've bought load with their own lashes texture when they're loaded from the character preset, so I'm obviously doing something wrong here. But what exactly?

Are you certain about this? I have quite a number of characters for G8F from a variety of vendors, and none of them load the lashes and materials for them from the character preset. Loading their lashes requires selecting the G8F lashes and then applying a separate material preset for that character. I don't know of any builtin option in Studio that would save the materials for the lashes along with those for the character and the morphs/shape. For the lashes you too would need to save them as a material preset that could be applied separately. If, indeed, you do have a character from the store that loads everything, I would be interested in which one since, as I said, all of those I have do not.

I just tried loading a few characters at random from their Actor presets, and most of them loaded the lashes texture, although a few didn't.

Characters that loaded with their custom lashes texture:

Victoria 8, RY Caprice, Mousso Albany, Syble HD.

Characters that loaded with the default G8 lashes texture:

BJ Amira, BJ Lyra

So it's certainly possible to save an Actor preset that'll load the correct lashes, but I've no idea how.

I have now. Thanks. I'll try that out tomorrow.
