I've been so offline and not following the latest "advancements" I don't even know what pbr skin IS. So I looked it up and it's Physically Based Rendering which is more realistic with how light interacts with skin. Okay, so now I'm wondering how to tell if the figure I am rendering is PBR or not? And maybe someone can help gitika1 ? (Sorry, I'm clueless but we'll get you an answer with the other forum surfers. The most knowledgeable folks on the planet IMO.)  @barbult @ladair to mention a few.

Daz introduced the new PBR skin shader with Genesis 8.1. Victoria 8.1 has it, but the Base Genesis 8.1 still uses the Iray Uber shader.  It is just another shader for Iray in Daz Studio, as far as I know.

I can not seem to get any of my old Daz Dynamic clothing or items to load.. can someone please help me with this.

below is a copy of the log file:

Loading default genesis 8 base is relatively quick but for some reason it takes way longer loading in a character preset. Like nearly twice as long for me...

How are you loading just the default base?

When I load it it also loads every morph and character preset I own into the figure, they load at 0%  but are all there and function 

I'd love to be able to load just the base so that I could then load just morphs and or presets that I want.

When I mentioned that in another thread I was screamed at with the comment of Oh God No!!! if you want that go use Poser

By base I mean clicking on the Genesis 8 icon. By character I mean clicking on something like victoria

My experience is worse than that - 2-3 minutes to load the base, 20-30 minutes to load a character preset (which is why I use shaping and materials presets instead).

Those load with every morph and preset that I own

Nothing loads without all of them

That's nice to hear. Well, nice to hear there's a chance that the effort is not entirely wasted!

All your effort will certainly not be wasted!

OMG! As soon as Xue heard from her trainer and coach that the construction of the new running track was really making progress she immediately started warming-up!

@JeniMorris I saw at the beginning of this thread you worked on the textures and think the character looks fantastic, but I'm hoping you can help me here, and I'm sorry if this has been beaten to death elsewhere. I'm just so confused at the shaders for 8 and 8.1 and what to do because I think I recall in one thread you had to do that for the 8.1 base model, but not Victoria 8.1, that she was already set up for it. And so if that's the case, is it that way for all 8.1 characters like the White Priestess? Please note I could be way off about that, there was so much information in those first 8.1 threads being thrown around. So when I load the White Priestess into my scene, do I need to first go and apply the PBR shader to her, or is that already done and I just need to apply whatever eyelashes/eye colors/etcetera to her? Thank you for any and all help! 

If a character uses the PBR shader it will be applied with the character's materials, there's no need to apply it separately.

Awesome, thank you so very much @Leana. I just had to laugh when 8.1 came out because I had literally just started to understand how materials worked. I can sit down and figure out 8.1 stuff but I wasn't sure what the starting point is for bringing in characters. Glad to know I can import the characters in and it's set up with the proper shading.

You may need to make some small adjustments.  Not every figure has the same proportions as Victoria 8.

Hi, I just bought this product, but I didn't understand how to fit the veil to the matched figure.

https://www.daz3d.com/dance-of-the-veils-2-for-victoria-8

Thank you

It is nicely explained in the readme file for the product. Just under "Additional Details", you will find:

• Using “Dance Of The Veils 2” is pretty easy - you will find them in your Content Library under People/Genesis 8 Female/Clothing/Jepe/Dance Of The Veils.

• I suggest to save and to look at the store drape reference images to get a first impression of the pose and matching drape of the veils. Load Victoria 8 figure first, apply the pose, load the according veil, select it and dial in any of the according veil drape morphs you'll find in the Veil / Actor / Morphs section in Parameters Tab - remember to turn the used dial to zero again BEFORE trying another slider!

• To change the appearance of the veil, load one of the 10 different Veil Material Presets or select the Material Zones of the veil in Surfaces Tab and apply a shader to it from the Shader folder. Be aware of that the final outcome is only visible in Iray Preview mode or when rendered in Iray. Set the Cutout Opacity of the shaders to 0.8 or 0.7 to get a more “lighter” look of the veils.

• If you want to move your figure I suggest to parent the veil to Victoria 8 first, simply drag and drop the sheet onto your Victoria figure hierarchy in the Scene Tab, that it will move with the figure to another place in the scene.

 for the complete readme: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/47377/start

Thanks and yes, it works with Daz Studio 4.15 Beta and Unity 2019.4.21f1

Which version of Daz Studio is this? I suspect it's too old to support dForce hair.

That Cubit look happens all the time when textures are missing. the same thing happened with Victoria 8.1 on launch day when DAZ had not rolled out the new starter essential update (unless you happen to use central)

the cape is in the scene the fur colar doesn't have the Material its always possible the version is old but do old versions not load materials and textures even if they can't run D-Force? 

to the OP when you loaded the Cape onto the character did you get a pop up window warning you of missing files? or did it just load to the way you screen shot?

Missing textures won't do that, missing geometry will - if the DS version is too old for dForce hair it won't know what to do with the instructions to draw the strands, which will have the same net result as not being able to find the geometry.
