Love your products. I'm newish to DAZ3D and have this issue. WIth Dicktator, everything works fine except the texture materials (bump, veins, testical wrinkles). ALl the other materials go right on. I'm just applying them to G9 base to get it to work. Any advice is appreciated.

Also, when I put on the shell, it doesn't apply the body material from the G9 model. The only material on the shell is the one that is there when the shell is added. I can change the cutout opacity to show the underlying material through, but can't apply material to the shell. And oddly, some of the materials do work , just not the textures or copying the body mat. If I turn off the shell, the body mat does copy, but still not the textures. Thanks in advance.

With Meipe you tend to find a 'Click Here first' that tells you where to put them.
So, use the 0-G9 Selector and the 1-Dicktator_Smart
Then use the 2-Dicktator_Material Copy
In the 01-Material Presets folder apply the nearest preset to your character skin
Then apply the Bump, Veins and Testical Wrinkles
All of this is done with the Genesis 9 figure selected
THEN, and I think this might be the crucial bit, Render
The Veins etc are displacements and only show upon rendering

So that was the answer to the bumps and wrinkles (big thanks_). But with the shell, I still can't get it to copy the body material. It does fine w/o the shell. I ran the shell fix script. Not sure what I'm missing.

Maybe if you post some screenshots it may help to understand the reason of the issue 😉

With the shell, I can't get the body material to copy. Without the shell it does. I've tried many times using the MAT COPY script in different orders. I can affix the materials you provide to the shell. Just not copy to match the body.

For some more detail, if I just do a straight Genesis 9 model, then apply a skin material, then Dicktator following each of your steps, this is what happens, so I don't have other things competing with it. It just doesn't seem to want to copy over to the shell. Again, it copies fine without the shell, but then the shell covers it up with this material and I can't seem to change it, except for the materials you provided (like that pink head one).

Checking again; what am I missing? I get materials on Golden Palace and Breastacular just fine.
