Alpha/Occluder Error in PBR Material

Hey people,

I noticed a strange problem. I made a new PBR Mat for faking glossy Lips. I am running in two problems:

1) I cannot use blend modes like Hard light or overlay or screen - if I do the whole Texturesheet will show as a black mask over the face. Any technical explanations for that? I used already everything from opacity mask to ColorMasking RGB and A channel on top of the dialogue...to no avail.

2) so I apply the glossyLips Mat as "normal" but I notice an occluding effect on particles that lay in hirarchy above the lips and thus should actually be rendered "after" the facemask. I checked the renderorder. Only if I drag the particles above the lips (in my project window) they render properly on top of the face.

See my screenshot for details:

    Hey el Be,

    To fix your problem create an opacity mask to only cover the lips and hide the other. In that way you can fix the black part problem.

     

    Best,

    Hey Amir,

    unfortunatly that didn´t solve my problem... 

    Could it be that some materials don´t take certain blend modes?

    Make sure to update to the latest release of the Lens Studio.

    Hey el Be.

    Thanks for reporting the problem. We're working on it right now to fix the problem. In mean time you can use one of the blend modes in the material to apply the effects.

    Best,
