Mr. Bennet Material

vonHobo

I am trying to apply the Mr. Bennet material to another G8Male character, but keep getting an error - see log file.

Log file loading error:

C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library/people/genesis 8 male/characters/matari3d/mrbennet/materials/m3dbennet !fullmaterial.duf

Operation failed

So I checked the actual file path name and they seem to match except for the upper/lower case difference.

Actual file directory and name:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\People\Genesis 8

Male\Characters\Matari3D\MrBennet\Materials\M3DBennet !FullMaterial.duf

Is there anyone who knows why this is occuring?

Mr. Bennet Character, Outfit, Moustache, and Accessories for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Males | Daz 3D

P.S. The material is not in the materials folder. I found it in "All Files". Not sure if that has anything to do with it not loading.

The problem might be, that Mr. Bennet is a G8.1 Male figure and You tried to apply his materials to a G8 Male figure... the "old" G8M figures can't take materials of G8.1M due to different material zones.

And even though the product is named Mr.Bennet Character, Outfit, Moustache and Accessoires For G8 and G8.1 Males, a closer look at the "What's included" shows that the character and it's materials are G8.1M only, while the outfit, moustache and acessoires can also be used for G8M figures...

(dunno why the censors published my post twice instead of not publishing as usual...)

Thanks! You are right about that. It applies to 8.1 figure just fine. I mostly wanted the arm tattoos for a G8 figure, but they apply weird with strange zones. So giving up! LOL

You can do a share/texture material tranfer in DAZ Studio but off the top of my head I don't remember how. The instructions are in another existing thread in this forum though.
