This just started today for me but, the shaders and displacement are not applying to the shell. I did download the update today also.

I have tried this on several other characters, including G8M base character with the same results. The materials and displacement will not load onto the shell. There are no other shells loaded onto the characters I have tried.
I have also tried restarting Daz Studio several times and restarting my computer. I also checked to see if there was an update for Daz.
Please help! I am in the middle of a series and can't go any further until this is fixed :(

I've installed the update, I have pumping pole pallette, texture wizard, all of that, and they apply to the shell just fine. What's you're install method? Are you getting any errors when you try to load a preset? What does the log file say? Something got installed wrong, I'm sure of it.

I have extracted from the zip like I always do. I had it working fine the other day and now all of a sudden it is doing this.
I'm not getting any errors.
This is what it looks like:

I can't figure out how to insert the image here.
Found this in the log file:

There is a WHOLE list of these warnings. I even uninstalled Daz and reinstalled.

I doubt it's your install of Daz that's the problem, LOL. Have you seen my stickied thread in the Tutorials subforum? Maybe take a look at that and compare it to your method. I'm sure something got placed where it shouldn't be, and that's why you're having troubles.

So I read your tutorial. That is exactly how I install things all the time. I do have multiple runtimes but not all under 1 folder. I have to do it that way as I have a small hard drive and split things up onto external hard drives.
I made sure there were now extra folders in any of them.
I just can't get it to work.

Maybe Meipe will chime in. I had no change after the update, everything still works just like it did, so something is weird with yours. I still think it's an install error, because if everything was where Studio is going to look for it, it would work.

I even followed the tutorial to install through DIM and it still isn't working. Plus I am getting these warnings in the log:

The files are there, I have checked multiple times.

On the image, the shell isn't right. It's missing all the Dicktator_Genetalia_G8M parts. So unless you fixed your issue already, this could probably be the reason.

Yes, some tools unparent the grafts, so the shell has no longer matching surfaces... Meipe attached the following image(s):

Hi,
I am a newbie and experiencing this issue and unclear how to fix. I accidentally parented the shell under the hair node. When I moved the shell the dicktator surfaces remained with the hair node. How do I move these surfaces back to the shell node?
Thank you,

Thank you,
Delete the shell, select the main figure, and reapply the shell. That may not move the surfaces from the hair, but I doubt that it will affect anything.
