if there is anyway you can get breastacular to work WITH breast utilities 2, your a life saver.  dude having both a geo that does collision and a geo/shell that gives VERY REALISTIC textures, would be a game changer here.  only problem is, they dont work well with each other atm cause it JUST came out.  is there anyway you can get a hotfix for your breastacular that it can work with it.  thanks.

Ok, figured it out (with G8F, GF 8.1 should be similar with the "Body" vs "Torso" surface).

1-First load BU2 shell on G8F, select its torso surface, and save it as a shader preset.

2-Then, load Breastacular on G8F, and run the mat copy script.

3-Last, select the two Breastacular surfaces on BU2's shell, and load on them the shader preset you saved at step 1.

Meipe attached the following image(s):

ok so what you guys said worked, HOWEVER, slight problem. the texturing dont match with the rest of the body ie skin color. like im having a weird WHITE coloration where the breasts connect to the torso.

Edit:  If there is a way I dont have to fuss around a WHOLE lot to get the textures to match back up, i be most grateful.

Excuse me for asking but what is "Breast Utilities 2"? I've never heard of it.

Thanks.

Scratch that - I just found it at that other store whose name begins with a D. I've avoided browsing there lately because of all the Non Fungible Ponzi Scheme stuff that they're pushing. Thanks anyway.

Its a new thing soto made on daz store. its for more realistic texturing around the breast area. like the nipples and areolas look WAY more realistic in texturing.

You could just ignore the NFT button, it's completely separate from the rest of the site. I am not interested in NFT, but my experience has not changed one bit.

OK, I bought Breastacular, but I have no issues. I did what I told you in my first post and it all works as intended. Judging by your image, the white part is the Breastacular geometry. I think somehow you erased its materials or lowered its opacity, so the transition opacity of Breast Utilities 2 is showing either white or nothing under it.

As a tip to choose between the included nipples types and skin types easier, apply a preset, and copy the Body/Torso material of Breast Utilities 2 and paste it to the Breastacular surfaces of Breast Utilities 2.

My advice is to always make sure Breastacular has the character textures applied and looks correctly if you hide Breast Utilities 2.

I got it to work and omfg does it look glorious in the final renders. Both you meipe and hellboy are a god send for people who make good geografts/shells. Thank you both.

Hello everyone, point 3 I don't know where it has to be loaded, can someone help me please, I'm a newbie in daz Studio. Thanks!

Really this is the hard part to help with since where users are saving can vary by so much, however from the video it looks like you saved it to Documents/Daz 3D/Studio/My Library/Presets/Shaders (Which i believe is the current Default for personal saves and presets in Daz Studio)

So it should show up under the My Library folder under Daz Studio Formats.
