Renderotica

To me it looks like Octane is not applying transparency to the shells where Daz Studio does, I'm not sure if there is an easy solution as I've never touched Octane, but it looks like an instance where Octane handles transparency/opacity differently than Iray or 3Delight even, so when the textures are auto-converted to Octane it is not getting the information that the black parts on the opacity map are supposed to be invisible. Like I said I don't use Octane so I don't know if it uses different settings for opacity or not, but the issue is it is not reading the opacity maps for the shells like it should, so the black areas (which in Daz Studio a black area on trans map/opacity map are seen as invisible) are showing in the render.

Thanks for the information. its been fruitful. I have found a solution. By applying the ready made skins that come with Daz Studio Octane kit to the shell, the black area is gone. New problem. The nipples look a little weird. Doesnt matter. I'l find a way.

Maybe far too late but i had the exact same problem with NGV8, the genital area would have small black shapes, to fix this i did the following;

Go to octane materials tab, look for the genitalia colour layer inside that there will be 2 genital materials, 1 for anus and 1 for genital, select the genital and then on the right where all the settings are scroll right down to the bottom (at least it was for me) and there should be a section called "UV Transform / 2D Transformation" - change the "Level of Detail" from 1024x1024 to anything above that (i set mine to 4k)

I'm not sure how it would be done with GP as i don't use it but i'm sure it will work the same for any colour layered shells
