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):

I don't have Breastacular yet, so unless I'm missing something, I think a variant of Meipe's steps so you don't have to save presets for each character:
- Select the Breastacular surfaces on Breast Utilities 2 and apply the Uber Detail Shader in Shader Presets / Soto /Iray / Iray Uber Detail (you might want to save it as a custom action if you plan to use it often)
- Copy the Body/Torso material of Breast Utilities 2 and paste it to the Breastacular surfaces of Breast Utilities 2
Of course, the included material presets won't recognize the Breastacular surfaces. So you have to adjust material settings yourself in the surfaces panel.  DAZ STUDIO USER SINCE 2006

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. Edited by user Sunday, January 2, 2022 2:19:49 PM(UTC)

As you can see, this is a problem.

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. Edited by user Sunday, January 2, 2022 4:41:05 PM(UTC)

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.

Let me get Breastacular and see how I can help you better.  DAZ STUDIO USER SINCE 2006

BTW, that sounds as if you hid the Breastacular geometry by mistake and Breast Utilities 2's opacity transition has nothing beneath it.  DAZ STUDIO USER SINCE 2006

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.

If you accidently had the graft selected instead of the shell, when you ran the shell fix script it will make the graft disappear.

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.
