Hi I need some help. I downloaded Dicktator followed the instructions and I get this black spot that starts at the base of the shaft and runs up the body a little bit. When I click on the area it goes to the root bone of Dicktator Gen. And thats the area that is black. When I dont show the Dicktator shell it doesnt happen but that looks terrible. I've been over the instructions a few times cant figure this out. 

Any help Please


With shell visible Black area



.With Shell Hidden no black area.

Somethings happened to the graft. It might be Yonni. try loading a basic G8M. Select the G8M in scene panel (top node of character) and then click on 1 Dictator Genitalia 0.3.duf, then Click Mat Copy. See that works. If so then delete the one on Yonni and repeat the same steps exactly.


If the same thing happens on G8M then maybe you installed it wrong, and would suggest reinstalling.

Looks like what happens when a geo shell is too close to the base figure. I'd try adjusting the shell offset setting. Select the shell, then look under parameters tab, under General there should be a Mesh Offset setting, Adjust this in very small increments until the black goes away. This usually occurs due to using a character with greater morph and scaling variance from the base Genesis figure used, the program tries to keep the shell the same distance from the morphed/scaled characters as from G8M but it sometimes fails and you end up with mesh and geo-shell intersecting which usually shows up as a black area on the shell.

I did and the black area showed up in the Render

I did mess around with the Mesh offset and it didnt help much. 

Im going to try to uninstall and reinstall like MidnightWatcher suggested

Thanks for the responses

Just to follow up for anyone having this issue. I got this fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling dicktator like MidnightWatcher said.
I installed it the exact same way I did the first time by loading it into the dsz and zip into the DIM folder and installing it by selecting it in the ready to install tab and clicking install. |
Something must have gotten messed up the first time around.

I got into Daz from Honey Select. I got into Honey Select (yes, I'm that Brimstone Omega) from modding Skyrim and trying to do screenshots there.


All I'm saying is, Between Skyrim and Daz, I'm not sure which one is harder to get everything working right, even if you do the same thing over again. Sometimes weird shit just happens with either of them. Reinstalling things in Daz seams to help a lot of the time. Plus, you have the whole updates breaking everything stuff that happens with both of them. And the ability to take uncounted hours of your life without you even noticing.
