The Tooth Problem

So I have a weird problem. The teeth on this one subject have some weird discoloration. Changed the lighting, the various lights around it, etc etc, and checked the surfaces.

Any idea what causes this?

iRay render stopped at 2 hours.

    Looks like you need to see a dentist. All joking aside >>>To help we need to know if you are on pc or mac what version of OS you are in what your hardware is and what version of daz studio you are using and what 3D model this is.

    PC, 32 gb memory, Windows 10 home 10.0.14393, Nvidia geforce GTX 960

    After seeing one other thread that happened to mention the same problem on another model I just did some basic comparisons and discovered it might just be the model - Oscar for Lucian 7. Straight out of the box, basic lighting and a smile.. and his teeth are all pixeliated regardless of what I do. So I just replaced his tooth shaders and all is right with the world. Is there just something wrong with the basic model, then?

    Are you using a gen3 figure here? I have had teeth problems too. The reason are a default mouth HD morph. Yes, it's at 1 by default. If your creating custom morphs, the HD morph is baked into your custom morph, even if your working with the base resolution figure. Allways make sure, that all unwanted morphs set to zero. For myself, I've saved a base resolution all morphs zero by default Genesis3 character, to create new morphs from.

    EDIT:

    A fix is to export the base figure with the mouth HD morph set to -1 as an *.obj. Then use it as a Teeth-Fix morph with morph loader.

    sounds like there may be some metal flake on the shader.... that would give off a pixelated look.

    That's really interesting. I have problems with teeth often after attempting too many morphs or expressions and I know it's not the texture, the texture was fine before all the morphs and some characters, it seems, are just not made for open mouth morphs, they look terrible no matter what. I would like to try that teeth fix trick but I haven't figured out how to use morph loader yet... Hoping to find some info how to use it.
