The Iray color of AprilYSH's Eilis hair does not react to change its color - solved

Erik Heyninck

Hello all,

I have purchased the Eilis hair  by ApriYSH

https://www.daz3d.com/eilis-hair-for-genesis-3--8-females

and I like it a lot.

But I do have a problem: I cannot seem to change the hair color (IRay) .
When I click the icon that is provided to change the color, I get no reaction. It stays the platinum blonde.

Because this is a polygon-based hair, I may skip something...???

anyone an idea?

thanks for reading and, evt for helping me out!

I suppose you are using the incorrect material preset. Unfortunately, the preset thumbnails for Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 look the same. If you apply a G3 preset on a G8 hair, nothing changes. I have the same hair, and it does work as expected.

Thanks, but nope. It clearly says Eilis Hair G8F.

I'm experimenting, but perhaps someone knows ...

Okay, found it!

Perhaps this is because it is a polygon-based hair, but I have to select it before I can change the hair color or the presets that come with it.
It's a mesh. So of course, for as long as the character itself is selected, textures or tweaks are not executed.
