dForce Winter Trendy problem- Solved! =)

Apologies if this is the wrong place:  there doesn't seem to be any thread regarding this product.

The Winter Trendy outfit loads fine (and renders well, too) with the default textures.  But when I select an item and try to change the textures to one of the Winter Trendy Add-On I get the following error message:

Am using Daz Studio 4.12.0.86, Windows 7 Ultimate and haven't had this problem before either with Daz content, or content from other sites.  

While I can manually change the maps it something I would rather not have to do.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction and hoping everyone is staying safe and healthy in this time of pandemic.

    Here is the error from the log file (tried changing the textures for the leggings than the boots). Also did a fresh download of the Winter Trendy outfit sad

  • That bit about "preset_hierarchical_material" means that you can only change the material if the clothing is fitted to G8F. It's dumb, but not a bug or glitch. The clothes just have to be on a figure before you chan change the material with those presets.

    Wow!  Thanks muchly @zombietaggerung!  I actually did put the clothes on a custom G3F and encountered the problem when trying to change the textures.  That's when I tried it with the clothes themselves, as seen above blush

    I loaded the clothes onto G8F and was able to change the textures with no problem at all.  I still wasn't able to change the textures when G3F was wearing Winter Trendy, but saving a material preset from the outfit when worn by G8F did the trick smiley  yes

    Thanks for pointing me in the right  direction; you're a lifesaver angelyesyes
