Shader Question

Cricket

Is there a way to add a shader to an item, like a shirt, without losing the texture already applied in DazStudio? I tried pressing "Ctrl" when I applied the shader, and selecting "ignore" from the dropdown, but that doesn't really do what I thought it would.

Ignore will preserve maps as long as the property names match - if they don't, possibly with a certain amount of wiggle room, or if there simply isn't a corresponding property then the maps will be dropped. Ctrl also doesn't, or at least didn't, work with Shader Mixer shaders - if your presets are .dsa, .dsfb or .dse and are applying a Shader Mixer shader I suspect they may always lose the maps.
