Black Lines on V6 Nails

Chinchbug

In Daz Studio renders, I'm getting these black lines on the very tips of the nails of my Victory 6 figures that I'm not seeing on the base Genesis 2 Female figures. Any ideas what could be causing these?

check you bump and displacement settings in the surfaces of the fingernail and remove the images associated with them, then do a test render. If the black lines go away it's one or both of those images (if not see the 2nd explanation below) you will need to put the images back and then lower the percentage settings if you wish to use them. If for any reason you changed the size scale of the figure from 100% it will sometimes have a drastic effect on the surface maps when bumps and displacements are used and again you will need to turn the values down for scaled down figures and up for scaled up figures.

The black lines can also be seen sometimes when UberLights are used on even when bumps and displacements are not used. Mostly its visible when you change the scale the figure from 100%

Thanks, StratDragon.

I see the effect whenever I create a new figure in DS without any scaling or lighting effects. Just a bare figure.

But I get what mean. If I scale her down, the effect gets worse. And I need to scale her way up to 1000% to completely eliminate the effect. Weird, but I can deal. Thanks again.

If thats the case then the most likely cause would be the displacement settings, try dialing the finger nail displacement setting down to 10% and see if that also removes them.

With the default V6, I didn't see any difference whatsoever.
