    Needs updated:

    Fair and Beautiful for Pure Hair Nightlife.

    It is tagged as having Metadata, but when Pure Hair Nightlife is selected in the scene, the materials form Fair and Beautiful do not show in the Smart Content window pane.

    Although I don't have either product, I can give you the work flow to fix the Hair->Materials linking in Smart Content.

    Sure I would love for you to let me know how to make it work correctly.

    See if you can follow this.. if not, just holler..


    IF the hair materials that came with the PURE HAIR NIGHLIFE hair model is working in Smart Content, then check
    the metadata setup for the Fair and Beautiful Material add-on product. I will assume that
    the Fair and Beautiful add-on product has metadata and you see "materials" flag on each preset icon.

    1. Go to the content folder for Fair and Beautiful add-on product.

    2. On the "Active Pane Options" menu, launch the Content DB Editor

    3. The top pane will display the hair materials in the folder.

    Does each of them have an X in the Compat folder? IF NO, go to step 4.

    a. Click on one of the hair materials in the upper pane.
    b. It will display in the lower pane, select the Compatibility tab
    It will display a pointer to Pure Hair Nightlife model on the second line.
    (this is what links materials to figures/props/etc.)

    .duf
    /Pure Hair Nightlife/PH Nightlife

    c. If it's not listed, go to Step 4.

    4. If a Compatibility setting for PH Nightlife hair is missing:
    a. Select all of the hair materials in the upper pane so they display on the lower pane.
    b. With the Compatibility tab selected, Select/drag so all of the hair material
    files are selected.

    5. Right click and select "Add Compatibilities To Selected File(s)"

    6. On the Select a "Compatibility Base" window, scroll down to you see Pure Hair Nightlife.

    7. There should be a sub-category PH Nightlife. Select it and click Accept.

    To test:

    1. Load Pure Hair Nightlife into the scene and select it.
    2. Go to the Smart Content tab and you should see either

    Product Tab: Fair and Beautiful for Pure Hair Nightlife icon
    Files Tab: Individual hair material files icons from Fair and Beautiful add-on pack.


    If things get goofed up, you can always re-import the metadata to get it back to the original settings.
    If you don't see anything wrong, I can post steps to check the Pure Hair Nightlife hair model metadata settings.

    Glad the instructions worked out for you..
    What was the issue with the hair materials metadata?

    DAZ changed the name of the product from "Pure Hair Nightlife" to "Pure Hair Nightlife for Genesis".
    The materials was looking for the original name and not the new name.

    Needs an update:

    "Gregoria Hair" has a Gen4 and Gen5 installer, but they both install the same items, which are for Genesis.
    Both installers install 2 Hair figures, one blonde and one brunette and both are for Genesis. Plus the materials do not show when either hair is selected in the scene.
