Content Advisory! This message contains nudity

I was doing a test with replication on a figure with sub-surface scattering, and found that I couldn't get the SSS to apply to the replicated figures, only the original. I remember checking a box in the replicator properties that was something like "use object shader", but this didn't help. Here's an image showing the resulting render-

Any ideas? The only other thing I can think of would be to create instances.

I did a simple test here and the same thing happens! Lets wait some time until someone answer, after this I will report as a bug to Daz. You can turn all replicators as a copy and the error still there. No doubt that is a bug.

It happened to me too.  I reported the bug to DAZ just now.  I'm glad you found it.

Bug reports get answered?

The programmers for Hexagon and Carrara do answer back.

With ONE exception, that has not been my experience.

I think SSS needs real geometry to calculate and the replicator is a ray traced effect. There is a button in the replicator that will create real instances. Use that, remove the original replicator, and that should give you SSS on the instances.

Good luck,

DAZ just asked me for a sample CAR file that illustrates the problem.  I uploaded one to them.

DAZ just emailed me that they confirmed the bug.  This was actually one of their fastest responses back to me.

Nice. Now marks one month since I submitted mine. To their credit, the big one I submitted, they SHOULD already know about. Still would make for a little peace of mind if they'd update the public tracker.

The same happens when you replicate a light with an effect applied. The light replicates, but not the effects. I wonder if this would be considered the same "bug"?
