I saw this dress and thought I would try it out...no matter what I did I could change the color...couldn't add a material tile...well yeah I could add it...but nothing happened...so just quickly finished rendering it as I am over it now!

I found some clothing meshes like that. They were not UV mapped, and could not take textures. Tried using a shader on it, and all it did was change the color. There was no way for the pattern in the shader to take hold.

You are lucky it changed colour Agent...I couldn't even get that lol


As for the pose...I would still not be able to walk 

[DanaTA]

You are on a roll Agent...though if my leg went like that I would never walk again lol

Might take another look at it then...if it's not UV mapped then I could perhaps take it into hexagon or blender and map it...I will have to see...I am busy trying to install all my freebie downloads lol

Oh by the way...the character I used is a 2 part freebie from Rendo...it's for G8F...see I used the shoes from G2F on her

I noticed that. They are very nice shoes. Good to know they can be fitted to Genesis 8 Females.
If the dress is for G8F, there may be a different reason for the trouble. G8 has more Iray material types than 3Delight ones. I mean some products might only have Iray materials, so if you are trying to texture it with 3Delight materials or shaders, they will not work. If you are trying to put Iray shaders on a product optimized for 3Delight, that won't work either. With the optimization of products to the different render engines, you need to make sure that all of what you are doing is set for that render engine alone. I learned this the hard way, when a file in my Smart Content automatically set the render engine as Iray. Several things were not working at all. As my computer cannot handle Iray, I have to make sure I am set for 3Delight only, all the time.

Which dress is that? Maybe I have that, too, and can try to texture it when I come home from work.

it's made by Yukatanhouse and it's called Mini Long Dress.

Sanbie,I tried to extract a template for the dress: it was a real mess, lots of layers.Then I loaded G8F, loaded the dress, posed G8F, ran the simulation.After that I loaded a clothing item which I made textures for. From this Item, I chose a material zone, copied it and pasted it to the material zones of the mini dress. Then I chose a texture tile and applied it to the different material zones. That's what you see in the picture below.I also tried to apply a premade shader preset, but it did not take any colour.As you can see, I was not very successful with the simulation.

At least you got colour onto it Erika...I couldn't even do that...and I think the dress looks pretty
