Hi Gang,

I just got around to trying EZSkin-what a great utility!!  

However, I applied it to a V4 figure with red fingernails, and they render white. The diffuse colour is still set as red, and they are red in the preview.  The tonails, which were left natural, render fine.  I'm not sure which node to add the nail colour to to fix the fingernails.

Thanx in advance.  😄

You could set alt_diffuse to red in the meantime.  I am not at my own computer to analyse the node structure at the moment.

I grabbed a screencap; I presume I'd put it into one of the Blender nodes hooked into alt diffuse?

HSV node, change the white chip to red.

I had tried that, but it didn't look good.  I think it needs to be somewhere else as well...

The only other place would be around the reflection node.

Use my car paint shader on the nails. Painted nails are not a variation on skin. It's a completely different substance.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

I have the same problem with nails and some of my glossy lips.

After I apply EZ-Skin, I simply reapply nails and lips mats.

I was going to reply to that fact, BB.  Unfortunately, it was time to jump into the car and head home.

DOH!!  :blushing:  I'd wondered about removing the skin map, but presumed that it was there for some improtant reason.  The car shader was easy, as there is a car in the scene.  I'm still not sure why the nails ended up white... 

Thanx, All. 😄

In most cases, nails are colored procedurally through the Mat Room.  The EZShaper script does not take that into account, so it will ignore original setups and replace it with it's new set.  And the EZShader set only uses clear nail polish settings.  If you are using the XML to define which shaders to apply, then you can set ignore for the nails within the file for your particular character, and just use whatever other node structure relevant for your needs.
