Applying material makes my figure go transparent

Hi all

I'm very new to this, so this is probably just a beginner's failure, but heck I don't know how to solve it.

So I have this nice material pack which adds paint to my figure, but whenever I apply one of the available options, my figure goes haywire - as in transparent.

First pic shows my figure before applying the material, second pic shows the figure after applying one of the materials.

I have a feeling why this happens but I'm not able to solve it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This by  the way is the starter genesis 8 female figure and according to the material description it should be compatible with the paint material.

Would be happy if this can be solved, so thanks in advance.

    I suspect it's to be applied to a Geometry Shell - try Create>New Geometry Shell, then select that and apply the preset.

    Thanks a bunch! Not 100% there but this helped a lot :)

    This is a slightly tricky product to figure out, no instructions, from what I worked out you apply the Geometry shell from the folder with the Attachements in it, the attachments are the geometry shells set up for use with the paints there are 5 layers availble, then apply the paints to the shell.

    There are also presets that apply the shell and the paints for you, except for one of the set I have that just kicks up and error.

    Thanks S.! Will try this. Indeed a bit tricky, some sort of instruction coming with the product would have helped. Wouldn't have been able to figure this out without the help of both of you.
