*Solved* Dark Elves for Genesis- seams with LtPink mat.

I'm getting a pretty bad seam issue with the !Skin-LtPink preset. The rest are completely fine and seam free indicating that it's not my render settings, so I'm not sure what to check. Not shown in the image, but they show up on the thigh seams as well. I know they weren't always there as I've rendered with this preset before without issue. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
The square off to the left is a spot render showing that it's in render also.

Hiya!
Not sure whats going on there, but it doesn't render like that at all. Could it be render settings are too low?
Shouldn't be. Wouldn't the issue persist on the other mats as well if it were my settings?
I'll uninstall and reinstall the set. Maybe I managed to bork a setting on the preset somewhere, which I wouldn't doubt. lol
Hm... yeah, it definitely would. Thats bizarre lol Does the map itself look normal?
K I just grabbed the zip from my acct, and the map looks normal here. Could be a corrupted zip or file... or maybe DS being dumb. Have you tried reopening it?
Have you got the UV map set to the correct figure.
I've both closed and re-opened DS, as well as completely uninstalling/deleting the product and redownloading. I'm still getting the issue.
Here's a side by side render with the LtBlue and the LtPink. I can't figure out what is causing it. Turned off Per Pixel Shading to see if it was causing wonkiness (as it can with some skydomes), but nope, that didn't help.
/edit
Scorpio, yep. It loads in already set to V4 (which the Genesis version uses).
The MAT itself should set the proper uv's. But just to be sure, I checked the mat file, and its loading the right uv's (V4)
You might try going to surfaces and clicking the little menu and refreshing the textures (just coz if something was wrong, sometimes it likes to cache the old textures)
Ok, I just found something strange. For some reason the preset is loading from textures on my E: drive, yet my libraries are on my F: drive. I have no libraries mapped in DIM or DS on my E: drive whatsoever.
Somehow I have an E:\Runtime\textures with folders for this, Aged for V4, and Tansy by FW. o_O
Hm maybe its a DIM hiccup. The zip folders don't lead to any particular drive, nor does the manifest code that controls the DIM installation.
Maybe try installing it manually and see how that goes?
I deleted whatever rogue folder that was, and the textures seem to be working properly now.
That was really weird. I've never had rogue runtimes show up before.
Thanks for the help. :)
lol yah DS just loves to keep folks on their toes. Ive never had it do that either (yet) But I just install everything manually most of the time.
But yay! Glad you got it working
And yw... anytime :)
I might go back to manual on some runtimes and just use DIM as a quick downloader.
