  • After the Face Preset Modkit Guide was released on YouTube, I decided to give custom face presets a try. Unfortunately, while the presets do appear correctly inside Create A Zoi, I keep running into some issues:

    • The head appears slightly separated from the body

    • There is a noticeable shine/gloss around the eyelids that cannot be removed

    • Sliders can’t be used in the moded head preset

    • Eyebrows and eyelashes do not seem to function properly with these custom presets [They do not appear or apply]

    Things I have already tried:

    • Carefully following the MetaHuman tutorial (Facial Modification Part 01 | inZOI ModKit Tutorial)

    • Carefully following the Custom preset tutorial (Face Mod Part 02 | inZOI ModKit Tutorial)

    • Creating the project entirely from scratch without using the Wizard

    • Assigning a body manually inside the Data Editor both with the Wizard Project and from scratch

    Despite trying all of the above, I still end up with the same eyelid shine and head/body separation issue [the shine seems to be an issue inside the official tutorial as well]

If anyone has experienced something similar or found a solution, I would really appreciate the help.

Thank you!
