Issue with ink-layers and Saved Ffile.

[Gunnar_Forsberg]

I have a problem with ink-layers - I think.
When I do MakeUp, it will make .json and a .png that to me looks fine.
When I apply it to a character created from scratch, it looks fine.
When I apply it to a character from Save File, the lips are not included.
For example: If I use a completely red .png and use face_solid, the whole face, except the lips (mouth) will be red.
If I use lips_solid, I will get a thin red line around the mouth.

Thanks. The MakeUp tool really needs some testing, so this kind of feedback is very valuable.

Can you post a screenshot of the shader editor with the body mesh selected?

Nevermind, I see what happens. You have been bitten by a bug, no fault of yours.

The problem is that material instances get created when loading a character from a save file, even if the material model is MakeSkin. I've created a bug report for this at https://github.com/makehumancommunity/mpfb2/issues/244

The somewhat clunky workaround is to delete all material instances except the ".body" one. Alternatively, you can use the "multilayered" skin material model, in which case material instances will not be created. You can select this as an override in the create from save file panel.

I'll see to fixing the bug, but it'll be a few days.

Many thanks.

I have now posted a new version to the extensions platform.

The release notes are here: https://static.makehumancommunity.org/m ... e_209.html

If you find the time, it would be helpful if you test this and confirm if it solves the problem for you.

HI,
Many thanks.
It works fine when I select "Don't create" or "If enhanced" (which it isn't).
"If enhanced or makeskin' it is like before, but I assume that is correct (it is "makeskin").

In the process I also learned the importance of keeping track of your user data files. i keep them 'handy'. But the update moved the pointer back to default, not to where I keep them. Took a good two minutes to fix.

Again many thanks.
