Preprocess Character Textures file will not run -- Error

Excerpt from log file: Loading script: C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library/People/Genesis 9/Anatomy/HD Nipples for Genesis 9/01 - Preprocess Character Textures.dse

Hope this helps.

I have NGG9 which has been installed and loaded to my character but keep getting the error "You need to install New Genitalia for G9 (NGG9) first to continue running this script. Any ideas?

Have been using Julia 9 HD with no success...

Weird...I reinstalled it...overwrote the files and it now works...

btw @3feetwolf - once I got the colours right they look AMAZING - very happy with this purchase.  Well done.

Thank you for your product. I am running into a little dilemma here because I prefer the shape of your HD Nipples (as it basically matches the shape of the genesis 9 body) but I like the textures of breastacular better. I imagine it is possible that others feel the same, so I would like to humbly ask if you can create a few additional UV sets.

First, a UV set that basically matches exactly the base UV set of Genesis 9. I see that the "chest" surface basically has that except that the inside parts are cut out. If you could provide a UV set that keeps those inside parts in that, that would help. One reason I would like this is because I tried transferring the 8k detail maps from genesis 9 to HD Nipples by putting it as the diffuse map on gen 9 body surface before using the "preprocess character textures" on hd nipples. It did transfer the maps but I wasn't personally satisfied with the results - very blurry. 

Secondly, I would like a UV set that can use breastacular's textures. Then, I can make a geoshell that uses the UV set. 

I think if this can be achieved users can make the best of both worlds and will also make your product more attractive. Thank you.

Hi, plese try this: 
Download the G9 UVs file of HD Nipples and copy it to
\data\3feetwolf\HD Nipples for Genesis 9\HD Nipples for Genesis 9\UV Sets\3feetwolf\Base
When you apply the geo shell props to the character + HD Nipples, you can switch the uv set of the shell node's surfaces related to the HD Nipples to G9 UVs. In this
way, the textures of the geo shell will be displayed correctly.

I hate to say this as it may likely just come off as sounding like an ass, but if you adjust the lighting are the problem areas still there. On Prisha especially to me it looks like a bad highlight placement. Just moving Dome rotation 5-10 degrees might fix it. I mean both are likely highlight, specular, glossiness, or other surface setting issues, or like I said previously even the lighting hitting in a bad spot to make the line appear. Also not sure why it is showing mainly on darker skins, other than just greater contrast between skin tone and highlights.

But I'm not sure right off on Eliandra, as the why it is creating a triangular area that is shades lighter than the skin highlight, I just don't know what setting would cause that.

I can guarantee it isn't a join issue (As the seams on the body of Genesis 9 run along the back and join along the spine) but there is definitely something off there. There are occasionally painted on shading and highlights added to the under breast line by the vendors that can make the breast area look off, but I don't think that is what you're dealing with here.
