I don't seem to be able to get the material to work for the Leather Jacket for Genesis =
It's not under the wordrobe in the smart content section but I can get the Jacket to fit the character from the tree on the left but none of the materials work -
The three downloads were
Leather Jacket for Genesis 16.23 MB download download & install }
Leather Jacket for Genesis Legacy 15.13 MB download download & install }
Leather Jacket for Genesis PoserCF 756.09 KB
and the only one that I've installed is the one for Genesis - ( Default Content Manager )
Am I missing something - Could this be for another Geneis product I don't have - or maybe it's my path but I doubt it -
Character - Genesis - Clothing - Jacket
and then I'm insuring the jackets selected in the scene tree -
Character - Genesis - - Material and when that doesn't work I try the material in the smart content -
Anybody ?

    The materials for the Leather Jacket should be in your library under People/Genesis/Materials/smay/LJacket/
    I have a render going on atm, so can't check in DS wether Smart Content is showing it correctly for me.

    The jacket is in the Content Library pane under

    My DAZ 3D Library > People > Genesis > Clothing > smay

    but the materials for some reason, are under

    My DAZ 3D Library > People > Genesis > Materials > smay

    You wont see most of the colours properly until you render, but they do work.

    Yes - I was using the correct paths and the materials are working in the render but their not active in the viewport - I just now noticed that when I went to check my paths - So the products is working fine - I have a couple of items that do that - Any hoot - I sure am glad it's alright - Awesome jacket - Thanks for your time and comment - : )

    The Leather Jacket Materials call Shader based content, Shaders only appear correct in a full 3Delight render as they use the render engine, the Viewport is a OpenGL window and it does not support displaying all Shaders properly. Some will look okay many will just look very odd until rendered.

    Thanks - That helps in understanding why some content doesn't appear as you might expect it to in the viewport - It's a great Jacket and I think it has some more textures in an additional package - I'm glad I bought it -
    Thanks for all the comments everybody - ^ 5
