A broken material makes arms and legs white

Well, yeah, this is the problem - limbs render white when with a certain material. It happens even when I use the material without any extras, on an 'empty' G8F character. The viewport shows the entire body fine though, and what's more - this material used to work alright until an unclear point of time. I did a complete reinstallation of the product as well, to no avail. What can be the problem and how to fix it? There seem to be no 'geoshells' in the scene; other products by this creator work fine.

    Check the Base Color slots on surfaces of Arms / Legs to see if the texture maps are really correctly assigned ~~ with the same shader as other surfaces, as well as UV Set correctly defined.

    The UV Set is 'Base Female' for every single surface, the SSS mode is Mono on everything as well. The textures are assigned too, located in the same folder as those of the torso and head. What I see now though, arms and legs are *.tga textures, while the others - *.png or *.jpg. I'll try to convert them now.

    ALRIGHTY PEOPLE.

    Guess I made those working renders on an older version and the new one broke the *.tga functionality. I linked the new *.png textures and it all works fine now, yay!

    Right ~ tga format images are the culprits.

    Seems so odd to remove compatibility with a file format however old it is, especially when there is a legacy use for it.

    I believe this is an Iray issue (as a result of switching image-handling libraries), though I thought it had been added.
