I asked about this in the DAZ forums but nobody seems to know how to do this, if it's a bug, or if I'm just doing something wrong.  I hope someone here can help!


Here's what I'm doing, step by step:

  1. I created a folder for my hair and added it to the Objects tab of my Browser.

  2. I select the hair, go to the Texture room and make my changes to the shader. Basically, I just changed the root and tip color, shininess and highlight.

  3. I then go back to the Assemble room, go to the Objects tab (on the right) and drag my hair into the new folder I just added, and save it.

  4. I delete my hair from the scene, then click and drag my newly saved hair back onto the figure...and the shader I made is gone! It's reverted back to the default shader.

What is going on???? There has got to be a way to save hair with a shader.
