Legacy UVs for Genesis 8: Victoria 4 - Prepare doesn't work right?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Workflow:

Open Daz 4.12 on Mac (Mojave)

Load G8F Developer load

Verify that I have selected G8F

Run the Legacy UVs Prepare script from the tool bar.  

I get an incomplete character (see attached)

When I apply a texture the missing items don't get skinned.  

Any thoughts on what I've done/not done?

    That's what the character will look like once "prepared". You then need to apply a V4 material to G8. Note that the V4 material preset must be in .duf format, and none of the originals are in that format, so you must convert them, or load V4 and save out a new material preset as .duf.

    Ah, a fine point is to make sure the G8 Female, the Eyelashes and the Geografts are all selected before applying the material preset to get them all done at once. If you forget, you can always apply it separately.

    This is what I thought. I then applied a converted V4 .duf which worked...except for the shaded areas shown.  

    I did see that the eyelashes were a bit of a ruin. I'll need to monkey with those per your comment. Alas, the bigger issue remains.  

    I appreciate your help! Could you please look at my workflow. What step am I missing. 

    I select the top of the tree in the Scene (the character).

    When you run the Prepare script, it should leave the Genesis 8 Female, the Genesis 8 Female Eyelashes and the Legacy UVs Geografts selected. You need to have all three selected, not just the character.

    Ahha!  

    I was attempting to brain when in this case I needed to not brain...

    Workflow:

    1. Load G8F

    2. Select G8F

    3. Run prepare script

    4. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING....(I was reselecting the whole character)

    5. Apply prepared skin.

    6. Rejoice! It worked! Thanks!!!
