I'm experiencing the same problem.

Has this skin texture been deleted from the live database? I can only find one titled "D.Ordiales - Skin V6" not "D.Ordiales - Skin V6 II" as in your screenshots.

Thanks so much for the info. I'd been importing as centimeters and it was throwing everything off. If I used enough light to get good results on the skin everything else in the scene would be washed out.

Kudos to you for your efforts and kind replies!

Can you share your settings for daz export and octane import scaling? I still get a very dark skin tone and I think it has to do with the scale settings I'm using for both export and import.

Is this a bug?

File > Preferences > Geometry Import

Tick box "Edit settings for new geometry"

Right click in node graph, > Geometry > Mesh

Select obj file in OS dialog

It just imports the file without opening the Geometry dialog.

I think I might have found my problem. When plugging an rgb image into the texture node it defaults to having a gamma value of 2.2. Setting it to 1 helps a lot. I'm still getting tons of bright red hotpixels though, so I think I might be also having problems with my imported mesh scaling.

Thanks ...

Can you give us a clue as to your lighting set up? When I use your skin, it always comes out very dark and reddish, no matter what image I place in the color node. So I was thinking it might be the kind or intensity of light I'm using.

It has smoothing turned off by default.

This is a complex material (4 layered materials) so I would expect it to be slow. On my next project I will work on a simpler, more performance friendly version. Below are my render settings...

Thanks for that :D

By the way, have I mentioned you're a material rockstar! This has to be one of the ...

Is there any chance we might get a listing or screenshot of your preview kernel settings? I think I might be doing something wrong, but using this material more than doubles my render times. I'm getting about .31 Ms/Sec.
