prop not accepting texture

I purchased "Cork Wedge for Genesis 3 Female" ( http://www.daz3d.com/cork-wedge-for-genesis-3-female ) and I can't get the strap to change colors. What am I doing wrong? I select the shoe and double click shader and nothing happens. No error. Just nothing happens and it renders with the default black straps.

To apply a shader preset (as opposed to a material preset), you have to select the object in the Scene pane and then select the surface you want to apply the shader preset to in the Surfaces pane. You can use the surface select tool to select both at once by using the tool to click on the strap surface in the viewport.

Ok. Thank you. I'm going to try that.

FWIW, the difference is that materials presets are made for particular items with named surfaces in them; these same named surfaces are specified in the preset, so D|S knows which parameters settings to apply to which surface. Shader presets don't have surface names, so they can be applied to any surface on any item, so you must select both the item and the surface before D|S has enough information to apply the preset.

Yes. It worked. Thank you.
