Materials won't apply - L4N4 HD Morph for Genesis 8 Females

vonHobo

Once again I am experiencing errors on figures, this time with the materials for this figure:

https://www.daz3d.com/l4n4-hd-morph-for-genesis-8-females

No matter which I select, the figure itself, the skin shell, the metal shell, or any of the surface nodes for any of those items, I get the following error when I try to apply any of the Metal + Skin Shells:

2021-08-07 20:54:02.887 Invalid hierarchy for selected node(s) and "preset_hierarchical_material" type; no root(s) found.
2021-08-07 20:54:02.887 Error reading file, see log for more details.

Nothing seems to work.

Is it supposed to be this difficult anymore?

Do you have the character parented to another node, like a Group or Null? That usually throws off hierarchical presets. Perhaps a screenshot of the Scene tab might help to diagnose.

Character is not parented to another node.

If you use one of the "shell" wardrobe items on another DAZ figure, you can then apply the materials to the shell.

But if you use the figure that came with the product, which loads the shells automatically, none of the materials work.

Is it possible that the character that comes with the product is loaded and parented to a "null"? How would I check?

As I said, it works on other DAZ figures with the wardrobe item shells for metal and skin applied, just not the figure included with the product.

There were a few discussions about it a couple of months ago. I do not know if a solution was provided, but you can inform yourself. The "L4N4" string is pretty unique and searching the forums turns up only the relevant threads without a lot of chaff.

Thanks! Sounds like they never fixed it. Because I just bought the product two days ago. Never updated I suppose. Oh well. 

At least it has the "wardrobe" shells that can be applied to other figures, otherwise I'd say that the product is pretty useless due to the errors.

The materials for this product point to "/data/cloud/1_81533/people/genesis 8 female/character/l4n4/materials" a folder which is impossible to access. I put in a ticket some weeks ago and no fix has been submitted. You can reach the textures by going to the surfaces tab and selecting them from people/genesis 8 female/character/L4N4 folder and applying. This does not fix the entire morph not working properly including the glass head insert not loading.
