Just curious, do you have G8F selected in the scene tab when you apply the Futalicious genital?

The genital graft isn't parented to the figure itself, it's parented to that SPO Geoshell.

The shells have an offset from the body of the character, pretty sure that's where you're running into the issue. Select the Genesis 8 character itself and then go though the process of adding the Futalicious prop, then the material copy script, then the Futalicious shell, then select the Futashell and apply the color presets to the that shell.

Here's a few pics;

Character Selected in Scene tab, double click the prop

Character still selected, now run the material copy script

Character still selected, add the shell

Shell selected, now add the iRay materials

Profit!!!

You DO select the shell for the materials. Brimstone said 'Shell selected', and that's what the image reflects as well. If you try to add it to the figure you'll get either nothing or an error script.

It's easier to think about as it not being a part of the character's body, because it's not really. Think of it as a prop, or clothes or whatever. There are two props; the Futalicious genitals, and the Shell. They are separate items in and of themselves, the shell just follows the dick, like the dick follows the character, kind of like a shirt or a pair of shoes you put on the character. Now shirts and shoes have different materials, yeah? Like a blue shirt or a red one. Now since Meipe doesn't know what character you are going to use, or hell, even what characters may exist in the future, he/she made an excellent script that takes the texture from the character's body and puts it over the genital prop. That's how you end up with no texture seams where the prop meets the body. But there isn't a way to do that for the dick itself, because the textures for that aren't built into the body(...usually, but never mind that). That's where the iRay and 3DLight materials come in. Those are like the red or blue shirt, only there are not for the Futalicious prop, because the script already found those textures, they are for the Futalisous Shell prop, the "shirt" that goes over the genital prop. This way you can use the script to have no seams on the body, and the shell to have a dick texture.

Remember the original problem you had? How the dick was floating a bit before the body? That's because you put it on a geoshell. A geoshell is like a full body covering that you can add things or textures to. Like a shirt. A shirt isn't part of your body, and if you slapped a dick on it the dick wouldn't be on your body, it would be on the shirt. Only this shirt is invisible. And covers everything. Even the inside of your mouth. It's a shell covering the GEOmetry of the character.

Hope that makes sense, I remember being new to all this and there is a lot to take in.

Thank you BrimstoneOmega, for explaining this in terms I could understand. I had the exact same issue as gribbley and I was feeling stuck until I found your post. Now everything works just fine.
