Problem with Mercy HD (Colm Jackson)
Wonderland
Posts: 7,027
Does anyone else have this problem with Mercy HD https://www.daz3d.com/mercy-hd-for-genesis-8-female-and-genesis-81-female ? When I click on the eye glitter, it removes the shaders from the face. Also none of the eye glitter colors did anything. This is on the 8.1 version. I didn't try the 8 version. Also the nipples which you have to add on separetly have no color or texture and are the same color as the skin. I can't post that image obviously.Also it's supposed to come with expressions which are not dials but full poses and there's no way of knowing which is for G8 or G8.1, no labels to show which is which.

Looks like you have applied the G8 material to G8.1
There only is one icon for glitter.
I have a few Colm Jackson characters and like them, Mercy is one I don't have; looking at the Promos, there aren't even any hints at there being an issue.
With regards to the expressions, I have some for G8 that work with 8.1
Of course the promos don’t show the issue. But when I apply the glitter eye shadow setting, that’s what happens. And the lack of texture on the nipples obviously can’t be shown in promos. And I know G8 expressions work on on G8.1 but there are two versions supplied but without labels. I discovered they are just poses using the DAZ dialed expressions anyway, no new morphs. I have several of his characters and never had problems with them. This product has three issues however.
This is why I don't use 'Smart' content. In the Content Library there are seperate folders for the G8F and G8.1F Expressions and Materials. No guesswork/confusion. Glitter options under makeup in each seperate section, guess there is overlap when Smart Content is picking it up.
There is only one material option for both G8.1 and G8. It’s the expressions that have two versions. It takes me too long to find things in the content library.
Same. I see to many forum posts here smart content isn't being smart at all.
I have a couple of makeup sets that do the same thing as you posted and still haven't found a solution to it.
I reapplied the full texture then plugged in the opacity map for the eyeshadow in the metallic flakes channel, then added my own metallic flakes and color. Seemed to be the only way to do it. I still don’t know why the nipples have no nipple texture but just regular chest skin texture though.
It sounds like the product doesn't work, and it has nothing to do with Smart Content.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this character. The problem is the way Smart Content is showing you it and I can't see how its doing that as I'm another 100% manual install person. There *are* different makeup materials for G8 and G8.1 and you have applied the wrong one. Simple as that! There are different nail materials, base materials, everything.
The nipples 'issue' is, again, not really an issue. The base material does not provide a texture as I suspect CJ imagined and modelled the character as a younger girl, not an adult (that's certainly I how see her). Some artists prefer to drop elements of anatomical realism for underage characters and that seems perfectly reasonable to me. What it does come with is a morph that alters the body geometry for use under clothing, should you so wish.
Your problem here then is Smart Content and not the character.
I've just opened up the manifest file and, assuming you used DIM, you'll find all of the the materials and more in your installation under People -> Genesis 8 Female -> Characters -> Mercy HD -> Materials -> Iray -> Genesis 8.1 Female.
Another vote here for installing everything manually and creating your own structure...
