Ok, I wanted to share some technical info about the 'shell fix' script and the white shell bug...


When you load a new geometry shell on DS (create->New GeometryShell), by default its surfaces get 3dl shaders with half transparency. Your figure looks white.


The ones I include in my packages already have most surfaces disabled. The material presets will then only color the surfaces in front of the graft (breasts, genitalia, etc).


Probem is when you have more grafts loaded on one figure, or geometry shells provided by other content creators. DS will create new shell surfaces in front of the unsupported grafts, and their shader is... 3dl with half transparency. Your graft looks white.


I aready incuded a 'cleaning' script in many of my packages: the shell fix script. It looks for 3dl surfaces and set them as transparent.


Now if you load an iray shader on the shell, DS will convert ALL the surfaces to IRAY, so the script won't work anymore; the script cleans the shell BEFORE any material injection. I'll reease an updated version of the script to solve this limitation.


Happy rendering!

I will appreciate any help you can give Meipe... Your packages work well together to eliminate the white half texture... The trouble is with other content providers not working with yours... looking forward to your fix work around

@silverwolvie,


 


The updated scripts are in the latest version of Golden Palace, make sure you have installed the latest version and it's on the main loading screen where the golden palace prop and the shell are located.


 


@PrinzEugen,


His packages do work with other shells, I use them all the time, it just takes a certain install sequence, for me anyway.


I load the other shells first, then once you install the Meipe products they turn white when I install the Meipe shell.


All you have to do is run the shell script on all the Meipe stuff, everything, so if you have say a G8 female with Golden Palace and Breatacular (or Headlights) then after you load all of them run the scrip on the Golden Palace Shell and the Labia Shell if you have it, then again for Breastacular, all whiteness should be removed.


 


I hope this helps
