Material Suit Script Error

evilded777

Trying to use the Material Suit Apply H.Preset script and I can't get it to work with any presets I have saved myself.

It always gives this error: Unknown figure in hierarchical material preset: (path to preset). Log is no help.  Just about any other preset works (that I have tried anyway, even ones with custom eyebrow figures and all kinds of stuff).  But nothing I save, even stripped down to the basics will work.

Anyone else run into this and if so how did you solve it.

So, is it the correct figure and are the things you are applying it to parented correctly (usually to the figure).

If I understand the question correctly: Yes. I have tried both G8 and G8.1 males, with either a G8 Male or G8.1 Male Material Suit parented to G9. Like I said, this works fine with virtually any H.Preset except ones I have saved myself.

Does Smart Content, with Filter By Context active, give the expected results with a Genssi 8/8.1 figure selected?

Well, unfortunately the script checks if the path of Asset ID in H.Mat Preset file is under the sub-folder of People/Genesis 8 Female or People/Genesis 8 Male... If it's not, it'll throw you error message, like the path in (ss1)

If you simply change it to the one in (ss2) with Notepad++, it'll work ~~ no matther where the H.Mat Preset really locates.

But the simpler way can be: directly save the H.Mat Preset into the folder of People/Genesis 8 Female or People/Genesis 8 Male in your Daz Library. You can create a sub-folder of Presets there if you'd like.

Edit: I rarely use Material Suit but Cayman Studio's Legacy series. But I think we may ask @RiverSoftArt to improve the script to cancel the path check ~~

How did you catch that? I was going crazy. But it makes perfect sense, since I store all of my characters in a different directory path.

Yeah, performing more experiments can usually help with finding out the culprit ~~
