Raakel HD for Genesis 8 Female - Missing file and transparent eye corner

Soul

Hi all,

I'm quite new to DAZ and just started to do some basic renders, also apologies in advance if I'm missleading but I'm not a native speaker.
I recently purchased this character https://www.daz3d.com/raakel-hd-for-genesis-8-female

When trying to load the character I always get a message that a file is missing "/textures/Emrys/Raakel/RaakelEyesB_1006.jpg" but the file is where it should be in my content library.
Also, and I don't know if the missing file is the cause of this, as you can see in the attached image, the eye corners are transparent and therefore it shows the red inside of the head.

If someone could help me with this, i would be very happy.

This is a formatting issue that was not causing issues but now is - note that the path is /textures/Emrys/Raakel/RaakelEyesB_1006.jpg instead of the correct /Runtime/textures/Emrys/Raakel/RaakelEyesB_1006.jpg. The problem is that there is a double / in front of the textures at the beginning of the path, cuasing the updated parser to skip it. you can edit the .duf file for yourself, replacing

//Runtime

with

/Runtime

(you may well need to uncompress the file first, using the Batch Convert pane or an archive tool such as 7Zip) but affected products should be getting updates.

Thank you very much, i already had a look at de .duf file, but did'nt recognize the double //.
The character is now loading without any problems, but unfortunately the eyes are still the same.

This is actually a problem with the materials. Load another character's eye materials that you like onto Raakel and the problem will disappear. Richard is right about the path data becoming an issue in 4.20+ but that's not what's causing this.
