Hi,
I have emailed Rendererotica about this and they have redirected me here.
So here I am. and here is a copy of what I have sent them:

Hi,
I just purchased Lickalicious for G8F and for G8M.
I followed the instructions, but I'm not getting the expected results.
I would join images to show what is going on, but I see that this system does not provide a way to do that. So I can only say that the tongue graft is working but not the material presets. I tried many, but the tongue stays white (or extremely light pink). So did I miss something? Is there something to do to correct the problem?
What I did:
Step one: Selecting the G8F figure.
Step two: Loading "1-Lickalicious_Full Setup" (Or loading "1-Lickalicious_Tongue" followed by selecting the Lickalicious tongue and loading the "2-Lickalicious_Root Blend") (I tried it both ways)
Step 3: Load the "Mat Copy" script with the G8F selected, I get a message that confirms that the materials have successfully been copied.
Step 4: Loading a texture (I tried many) Same procedure for the G8M figure. Same results for both, tongue are still white or almost so on NVIDIA Iray in the viewport and in rendering.

The problem of not being able to join images does not apply here... so:
Lickalicious tongues with only Mat Copy.
Lickalicious tongues with texture applied (Strawberry)
Tongues with original Daz materials and original Daz morphs capabilities (Pose limits pushed at 400%)
BTW, I have the same problem with Fender Blender materials but not with Dicktator v3 or Golden Palace for G8F v2 or DB-XXY male genitalia for G8F.
In those, the material copy utilities work just fine.
So I don't know if that rules out any problem on my side? Just thought the information could be helpful.

With Lickalicious you got a file called "Shell Fix 1" and "Shell Fix 2", it's in the same folder as the mat copy. You need to use that on all the other geographts or shells on the character. So say you have Golden Palace and Lickalicious on a character. Set everything up like normal, and once it's all on the character, select the "Golden Palace Shell" and then double click on the "Shell Fix 1" file. Should take care of the white tongue issue you have. Same goes for the Fender Bender grapht.

Thanks for that, I used the Shell Fix scripts already, but only on the tongues, I had no idea that other components that appeared to be working fine could have a negative effect on that one.
I'll try it as soon as the render I'm running now is finished. (It could take some time)

Well, sorry to say that it didn't work.
As soon as I try to use more that one shell, one or the other looses it's materials.
I tried the Shell Fix. At one point it didn't do a thing, and later on it after i tried removing some of the shells and reapplying them in a different order, it made a hole in the pelvis in the triangular shape of the pubis.
I guess I'll come back to this some other time, but I'll leave it alone for a while.

I'll make a video. You're not the only one that has this issue pop up from time to time.
Give me a little bit of time.

Thanks again, I guess that it's a good thing... not to be the only one, I mean.

Little quote from Bob Dylan ;)
Fine video!
Clear and very instructive.
I unfortunately don't have the time to test it right now. But I'll come back to it shortly. Edited by user Monday, December 28, 2020 10:51:21 PM(UTC)

I have had that issue when using other products alongside Golden Palace too, having forgotten how those shells tend to make it all... interesting. Once you remember to "fix" the shells, it's a breeze :) "That was fun. Let's do it again."

Wow, this is incredible.
Thanks guys, BrimstoneOmega for his video in particular.
I just ran into exact this problem today and this instantly fixed it. Knowledge is power.
My G8F Golden Palace was working just fine, until I added the Lickalicious tongue and suddenly had the exact same texture issue the OP had.
The Golden palace shell had screwed up the tongue and it took me ages to figure out what went wrong.
Same thing happened with the Wet geometry shell again, but now I knew where to look for.
Thanks again!

Glad it helped!

As the last guy said, "Knowledge is power". Really wish there was a manual that came with Daz Studio, lol, there's so much that can go wrong, but nowhere is there any self-contained repository of how to work with issues. And from what I've learned over the years is there is always a way to fix this things when they pop up. Finding out how though.... that's another sotry.
