hi Emrys & Sabby

why does your product 'ES3D Elven: Tauriel and Thalius HD Add On' require the Tauriel or Thalius characters ?

i for one already have enough characters but would love to use that add on and textures with the g9 characters i have

i would assume others might like to do the same... would you not sell more if you did not make the product require your characters ?

thanks

The material presets most likely use some textures from the original characters.

yeah.. probably something like that ...

just too bad... it looks like a great add-on... but can only be used with their 2 characters

usually they added upon the original morph of the character that is needed more than using the textures in my experience. You can always purchase something and try it out and see if it works and if not return it no problem

Most of it should work fine without the original characters. I'm not sure if there are eyebrows in the add-on, but the textures are all there (other than the human ones, obviously). The ear morphs apply separately from the base morphs.

I uninstalled the base product just to see because I was curious also.  I mainly only tested the Tauriel material files because i figure its going to be the same with both.  You will get missing file errors but for the most part everything seems to work.  I say this with trepitation because it is possible that not all makeups will work correctly because most are built on top of the head textures so keep that in mind.   For this testing I used bluejauntes Tyler base mats.

Here is what I found:

All morphs (ears, teeth and nails) all work fine.

The 4 all mat colors seem to work fine,  of course the color you get will possibly be affected by the base texture you use.  You do receive missing file errors but as far as I can tell it leaves the ones that are already there.

The eyebrows mats do not work with the default load eyebrows with gen 9 or with alternate eyebrows.  (Gives a missing UV error)

Eyelashes work. Missing textures error.

Eyecolors work.  No error.

Glitters work

Eye makeup works. Missing textures error.

Nails work.

Geoshells work.
