Hello,
I hope this is the right Corner.
I want to use the material for the Face but I can not see the Makeuo (red Lips) in the viewport.
If I render it with iray, I can see the Makeup.
What do i wrong?
Thanks so much.
Michael

This is expected behaviour with make ups that use Diffuse Overlay, the Texture Sahded preview does not show that channel in the shader. If the make up swaps out the base colour map, which many older sets do, or uses a Layered Image overlay to combine the make up with the base colour then it will show in preview - however both have disadvanatges, using a swapped base colour is less flexible as it isn't possible to mix different make up (blush and eye shadow for example) while Layered Images are often very slow on load.
Is the behaviour new with 8.1 because I never saw it with Gen 3 or gen 8?
Is there a way to use the new diffuse Overlay with the octane Plugin?
It's certainly not very new - as I recall it came in with Genesis 8. The overlays are just that, you could use them with LIE (and indeed if there is a 3Delight version of the caharacter it probably does). I thought Octane could handle Diffuse Overlay, though.
Yeah, even with Genesis 3. I have a couple characters whose faces are totally black in the Viewport/ Texture Shaded.
