Difficulty downloading Tonysculptor's shaders from Live DB

Mon Oct 28, 2013 6:09 pm

Has anyone had any success in downloading and applying any of Tonysculptor's hair or skin shaders from the Live materials DB? I have tries multiple times and all I get is a warning that it was unable to be downloaded.

I was hoping to play around with this, but I'm not sure why this preset is being reluctant. I don't have issues with other materials in the Live DB. Currently on Daz Studio 4.6.1.17 and Daz Octane plugin 1.0.113.2313. Running Octane Beta 1.0 R1.11.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Nope, doesn't work. I had to use standalone and copy all the settings across by hand.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try.

Yeah...no joy. Every time I try accessing the material in the standalone, Octane crashes.

Really? Both versions still work fine for me.

Which standalone version are you using?

Daz plugin crashes for me too. Standalone can load it, but it starts to fill up with tiny white dots in the preview?!
Edit: White dots probelm was me not understanding which kernel to use for SSS shaders, so ignore that.

Same issue here on a number of materials. I haven't spent the time trying to figure out the commonality between those that crash, and perhaps it is for different reasons.

Does the developer want crash logs posted here?? I'd like to get this resolved as using the LiveDB is like Russian roulette right now.
