I love the texture & character very much and definately am NOT complaining about anything. I'm just wondering how and or if I can remove the advertisement that is over her pubic hair? This may be simple, but I'm a newbie and haven't run into this before. :-)

To remove it from the texture would be tricky (or at least, to put anything usueful in its place), but to remove it from the figure go to Render>Materials..., make sure you have Joelle selected in the top-left drop down, pick Pubic Hair (I can't remember the exact name) in the top-right drop down and set the transparency map option (bottom-right drop down) to None.

At the risk of sounding like a dolt, she has an ad over her pubic hair? I have the new (re-released) version of Joelle for V3, and I just double-checked... mine doesn't have any sort of advertisement visible on the body texture.

Waow! That I had not seen it! You must use the transparency picture of VIcky 3 for the pubic. Sorry :o) Valentin

Yup, that's it, all right. I usually edit MAT files before using them, to change .bum to .jpg etc, and in this case I edited the transparency map reference in the MAT file too, so I didn't run into the problem as you did. There's a couple ways to fix it: 1) As Valentin suggests, use the DAZ V3 transparency map. Open the MAT file .pz2 in a text editor, search for the "PubicHair" section, and change the transparencyMap reference to ":Runtime:textures:DAZ:Characters:MilWom:V3Maps:V3Tr.jpg" (or, if like me, you only own the high-res V3 maps, change it to V3TrHi.jpg instead.) 2) If you bought V3 but not any of her DAZ map packages, you can fix it by either using the material editor to set the Pubic transparency map to "none", as RHaseltine said, or change the map to the joellelashes.jpg that Valentin supplied (it's all black over the pubic area, so it will have the same effect.) However, unless you re-save the MAT or save the changed character to the library, you'll have to do that each time you use the Joelle MAT file. If you don't feel comfortable editing the .pz2 MAT file, let me know and I'll send you an edited version to replace yours. :)

Thank you Fauve. I really don't feel comfortable editing anything yet,as I have never worked with a text editor and am fairly new at this whole thing. I would really appreciate you offer to send me an edited version of the .pz2 to replace mine. Please send to strixowl@rocketmail.com
