The instructions say "Go to the Grafts folder". What does this mean? Where is the grafts folder?

    Per http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/90928/start

    • You can find new icons for loading this product in the following DAZ Studio Folders:

      • “People:Genesis 9:Anatomy:RawArt:Severed Man”

      • “People:Genesis 9:Anatomy:RawArt:Severed Man:01 Grafts”

      • “People:Genesis 9:Anatomy:RawArt:Severed Man:02 End Cap Shells”

    • You can find new icons for this product in the following DAZ Studio Categories:

      • “Anatomy:External”

      • “Documents”

      • “Utilities:Scripts”

      • “Web Links”

    so the Grafts folder (strictly "01 Grafts") is a folder in the Content Library pane under Daz Studio formats. The files are also available through category views, but with a structured product like this it is usually simpler to keep track of things by using a view that shows the folder structure on disc (which the creator didn't have for reference when writing the docs).

    I found it. And it doesn't do anything. When I run the copy g9 materials script. Nothing happens. When I disconnect the head from the body. All I get is an end cap that floats away.

    You need to select the figure rather than the geo-grafts before running the script of Copy material....

    I did select the figure first. It tells you to do that. I ran the script in the script console and it said it ran in 0.658 seconds. Nothing seems to have happened though. And you can see the end cap floating by itself in the image I first posted.

    This. This doesn't happen. I never get a "Genesis 9 - Head" object with the severed head inside. The script doesn't make that happen. It doesn't do anything.

    Is this normal? I created a clean G9 figure and went to the Severed Man folder.

    A) Start state.

    B) Merged the severed head graft (No idea where the figure went)

    C) Ran the script. No extra content was added to the scene.

    The result is normal and correct which is in line with the thumbnail preview. After loading the severed head, the geo-graft uses Auto-Hide method to hide the body. The the script also successfully copied the material from G9 to the lonely head... The scrip will bring nothing to the scene but just copy the material ~~

    So how do I end up with the original figure and the head?

    Am I supposed to duplicate the figure first if I want a head and headless body?

    Yes, otherwise you can't move them independently (which I wpuld assume you need to do or why split them).

  • jmucchiellojmucchiello Posts: 143

    Yeah, I figured it out eventually. Thanks a whole lot for your help Richard.

    See what I mean about Jeffery Dahmer?

  • jmucchiellojmucchiello Posts: 143

    Should I revive this or post a new item?

    Next question. Is there any way to edit the white end cap to be something else (and not a bloody stump)?

    In he attached image, I've recolored the severed head texture to purple. In the bottom half of the screen, we can see the purple in the texture shaded viewport. But, in the top half, we still just see white in the Iray viewport. Why doesn't the IRAY pick up the color?

    Or, where is that "white" coming from in the render?

    RE: the bloody stump. It also doesn't render in IRAY or when I do a full render. I only get the white end cap.

    It looks like there are a geoshell. Have you checked the settings on that?

    Because it's covered by the geo-shell of Pearl Stockings ~~ Do the same to Severe Neck geo-graft surface on Pearl Stockings geo-shell...by copy/paste surface,  or just simply hide the surface by setting Opacity to 0, and Lock the slot.

    Refer to screenshot 3 in https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9002771/#Comment_9002771

    I didn't think about the stockings being a geoshell. They rarely play well together when there's more than one.
