Hmmm, good idea, trying that now but when i select the faces in GE and click assign it does nothing. I created a "Hidden" group and selected it but it does nothing. The faces or surfaces just stayin in their groups. If i unassign the faces they go <default> but still the same result, i cant assign them to a new group. Am I missing something?

My guess is you would need to use breast gone morphs to get rid of the upper breasts. Getting rid of the geometry of the graft won't work because how Daz Studio handles grafts (Making the mesh under the graft disappear, and keeping the mesh invisible until the graft is deleted, so if you delete the graft areas with the breasts the underlying mesh is still kept invisible when you disable the geometry editor and the graft becomes reactivated.) Also it would likely need a morph set up at the G8F level to flatten the breasts as the morphs in the underlying figure carry over to the graft ( a huge reason I wish more vendors would keep Nipples and genital crease morphs as a separate morph from their characters FBMs) Also just wanting the udder, would probably require either special cow skin textures without upper nipples that the normal textures have, or a shell set up to mask/cover the upper nipples on the normal texture maps.

1- Make a backup of and open \data\Meipex\CreamQueen\CreamQueen_G8F\CreamQueen_FIX5.VR_7161.dsf with notepad++
2- Search for "hidden_polys"
3- Delete the polys ref and save

Thank you for your help. This works. but I get the black streaks from the translucency. I am using Cutout Opacity on the CreamQueen Torso surfaces. Should I be doing something else?

Can't find them in the parameter setting under G8F actor or anything. Completely stumped. The tab doesn't have a node selector option. Did I screw up the install somehow or am I just blind? I am a bit new at this so maybe I'm just misunderstanding something.

do you not have the breast flatteners underneath Cream Queen-> 4-Shape Presets-> Breasts flatten?

You may have installed wrong. I never use the installers i just copy to my daz directory and say "yes" to overwriting the old files.

I forget which is which, but try clicking them with Gen 8 selected and also try with CreamQueen selected, not the shell.

Yes, but the flattener itself doesn't seem to be working. I've not morphed the breasts at all. Merely applied the cream queen graft, shell, and material. I got to the flattener panel, click on any of the buttons with G8F selected and nothing. A eyeblink of a dialogue box that's up and gone too quickly for me to read appears but besides that the model is uneffected. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, redownloaded, and uninstalled again. Everytime everything but the flattening tool works. I've installed clusterbomb too just in case I needed it as well. Don't think I can use the flattener on it though if I just wanted four breasts but no udder, but that's not this problem. Also according to the instructions PDF there are supposed to be flattening parameters under Genesis 8 Female/Actor/Chest/Cluster Bomb. None of those are there either.

At this point, I'm just irritated I can't figure out what's not working.

Though I'll admit when I was playing with it the other night I don't recall any boxes appearing, even after I had Natural 9 breast applied, and I pressed the preset and it didn't work because the breast morph had been applied. It just didn't apply the flatten preset to get rid of the center breasts, but no dialog box appeared.

This is getting frustrating. Can you remove breasts in clusterbomb? I couldn't find that function in it anywhere. I just thougth it was 6 breasts or normal.

That option isn't displaying.
