Hey gang. I've been working on this issue all friggin day, searched forums, and no one else seems to be having this problem. I'd put a ticket in to daz but they still haven't got back to me on my dsa3/4 confliction issue from I don't even remember how long ago.

I finally got the hang uberEnviroment2 and now I need pretty textures :-) I purchased the one in the subject line, installed as I have the bazillion other doodads in my runtime, but I kid you not, her texture MAT won't load as other than a white body, ie a plain bump map. 

Had I any hair, I'd rip out whatever might be left...

I'm using DSA3 on win7 64bit, never had any other unusual problems like a texture issue. I've tried manually loading to no avail.

 

Thank you up front for any input!!

Did you install Elite Human Surface Shader?  On the Surfaces tab, does it show that EHSS is the shader being used?

I do have EHSS on. Actually, I've had both EHSS and UE2 on my hard drive for as long as I've had DAZ, just never learned to use it correctly until now!

Still no dice. I have EHSS on for the large bald fellow in the back (Sam) also but not the shorter guy. Think that makes a difference? I did a render of the two of them for a composite that came out fine.

Add: Screwy thing, its just this elite texture that won't load. The default, an S4 mat, and a the DMR Ella mat I replaced it with all work fine. As soon as I tried reloading EHSS, it kicked off all the textures on the model, skin-wise. I'd revert to kicking and screaming but I usually hurt myself whilst doing so. Time to hide the 12 gauge!

Thanks for your input as well. I'm determined to get this working. Stupid OCD!

If you want to load EHSS without replacing the textures, hol down Ctrl while double-clicking on it, and you'll get a dialog where you can choose to Ignore textures rather than replace them.

I'll see if I can find out anything about problems with Ariana.

You are using the file at top-left, Ariana Elite map All, and not one of the bump setting mats (which simple adjust the strength of the bump maps)?

Yup. The mouse happened to be there when I did the screeny.

I finally sorted this out. Ended up redownloading the EHSS and the Stephanie model it came with, new install of both and voila!

Now to finish that model for the composite. Thanks for the replies guys and gals. Its good to know that somebody will take time out to help fellow rendeonauts!

As thanks, you both get to see the Family Portrait first :-)Just finished as of this typing, not post.

 

Not sure why Mike's texture has the plague, but its on the list of fixes. That revolver texture looks like garbage too. Ehh... the project continues!
