I realized my characters nails and toenails come out grey. I dug all over the place but cant find any textures for any normal looking nails. When I search I either get female nails or feminine nails for males when its not what I want at all.

    I am not sure what you consider natural nails. Can you give a photo reference?

    You already did. I just want normal human fingernails. No long ones, no feminine ones. Just the normal short pink and white fingernails for men.

    If you have a character, with long nails or similar, click on parameter 'currently used'. It is likely that there is applied a morph to the nails.

    I think most PAs apply nail lenght as a seperate morph.

    Alternatively search in Parameters > Actor for nails and see if you can find something to help it out.

    Moved to Technical Help as it is not a Daz Studio application question but sounds like an issue with a morph loading with a non-zero default value (which will mean it won't show in Currently Used). One option is

    1. Edit>Figure>Zero>Zero Figure Shape (and confirm that Zero is what you want)
    2. Edit>Memorise>Memorise Figure Shape
    3. File>Save As>Support Assets>Save Modified Assets (do not click Accept in this dialogue)
    4. Go through the list in the Save Modified dialogue making a note, taking a screenshot etc.
    5. Cancel the dialogue
    6. Reload the figure
    7. Go through the properties listed in step 4, trying to zero them until you find which one removes the unwanted nail shaping. That is the problem product.

    Are morphs textures? Cause I dont care about the morph, I want color. The nails come up black

    What do you see in the surfaces tab for that character's fingernail surface? Is this happening for all characters or just one? More data would help us to help you.

    The culprit could be either texture maps or the settings related to Sub-Surface Scattering, check 'n try tweaking Translucency / Tansmission related settings.

    Better post a screenshot with the settings in Surfaces pane.

    it's empty, just solid colors. No texture is being used on it. It has color and none of them are grey and black

    And SSS related settings ?

    I dont know. it's just no nail textures. I just want textures that look like our nails in real life instead of black. Nails arent supposed to be all black.
