Bizarre issue
I am using DS 4.7.0.12, 64-bit under Win 7 Pro.
It seemed to start with Luthbelli's new LNA Tokyo outfit but I am not convinced that is 'at fault'. I load a vanilla G2F (so having Bree textures using OmUberSurface shaders). Do a render and it's fine. Load any, or all, of the LNA Tokyo outfit and the G2F renders as looking 9/10ths transparent. Remove the items and G2F renders fine.. Hide them and still renders translucent. Use different textures/shaders on G2F (such as Bryonia, using AoA SSS) and it still happens. I thought I had it pegged, but in a set of test renders I did to show evidence (I put G2F in Intimates Collection shorts and bra for modesty so I could rightly claim identical scene, just with hiding/removal of the 'offending items') the effect carried on after I removed (not just hid) the LNA Tokyo items. It now seems to happen with the shorts and/or bra from the Intimates Collection product by themselves.
Am I going mad (or is Daz Studio?) or has anyone else noted this?

Without seeing examples renders, the behavior you have described sounds like the problem I asked about in this thread, http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/46617/
The response I got went over my head, and it's something I'm still trying to learn about.
Not that issue, sadly. I'll try and throw togther some examples that do not, themselves, contain the problem when undressed! ;)
Ok, here we go - one image showing a newly started session of Daz Studio, base G2F loaded (so using the Bree textures which make use of the OmUberSurface shader) and wearing the shorts and top from the G2F Starter Essentials inside a DAZ primitive cube with one AoA AAL for illumination. Next we have exactly the same scene where the only thing done is to add the shoes from LNA Tokyo.
Just checked,and same thing happens if I load them onto a Genesis figure.
But it doesn't happen on another computer ...? Re-install of DS do you think?
The problem I was having seemed to spread, and I'm almost certain that it caused symptoms that hadn't occurred before. If I went off and worked on other things with DAZ, and then came back to it, some of the symptoms would be gone again, until I started to work with the suspect material. I tried clearing cache files and looking for other temporary files that could be related, and I never found anything to make it go away.
