Yes...it's me.

Can someone tell me what is happening here? This is what I seem to get when I try to import the Zyra "Actor" into an empty scene using 4.6 Pro. Afaik I have the updated G2 female head morphers, I also have Giselle 6.

It's fine to roll your eyes at me, one day I hope Zyra will too. :]

    It looks as if the maps are not applying correctly. Silver usually uses the base G2F UV set (or V5, I can't recall - but in any event the textures would be expected to work with the base figure). That is Genesis 2 Female? Does it work if you close and restart DAZ Studio, then immediately load G2F and apply the character?

    As below, if I open Giselle into a fresh scene, she is fine. If I open my G2F base, she renders as on the right, perhaps something has gone wrong with my G2F base. :[

    Below is a cap of the result of me opening my G2F Base, with no characters or anything else applied.

    I've removed your image as it shows a nude, textured figure.

    It does look as if something has gone very wrong with the basic G2F UV sets. Could you load the messed-up figure, or apply Zyra, and then immediately go to Help>Troubleshooting>View Log, scroll down to the end and see if there are any errors after the line telling you that Zyra or Genesis 2 female is loading.

    Ah, apologies and noted for future.

    There were no errors after opening the G2F base, even though the result was the same as in the previous screen cap, so I tried Zyra and this appears twice;

    *edited by OP to remove code that was breaking forum frame.*

    Hmm, OK - switch to the Surface Selection tool (in the Tools menu) and open the Surfaces pane (Window>PAnes(Tabs)>Surfaces if it isn't already open). Now click on one of the bad areas of skin - such as the upper torso of the figure with Zyra applied. In the Surfaces pane find the Diffuse colour slider and hover your mouse over the little square to the left of it - a preview of an image should pop up, what is its file name shown as?

    C:/Users/MyName/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/Runtime/textures/SilverCountess/Zyra/ZyraHead.jpg

    I've checked that location and all the image files are present.

    You may want to check if tiling is set (a value of more than 1) for any of the areas.

    Thankyou for your responses!

    I'm not really sure what went wrong, but a complete reinstall of Daz and all content has also fixed all the issues. =)
