VaM 1.x Cua Lighting Issue

[KaeeKiu]

I export models from DAZ3D to create CUAs, so I can add more people to a scene without causing lag. However, some of these CUAs are affected by scene lights, while others aren't.

and the one affected by the scene light keeps emitting light even without any light source shining on it. I don't know what the reason is. Can anyone help?

Make these changes and use VAM Lights only...see if that gets you what you want.

No, no, I know I can just turn the scene light sliders down to 0 or close to 0 to bypass the issue. But what I really want to know is the root cause. since they are both Cua, why does one change color while the other doesn't?
I have already asked chatgpt, and it insisted that it was an Emission issue from DAZ3D. However, no matter how much I tweaked the Emission settings in DAZ3D, the issue still persists once it's imported into VaM

Without the model its hard to tell. In VAM if you turn down the settings the scene should be completely black. If you see anything then check unity and each texture map that nothing is emissive and no lightmaps are included.

I still don't know what I did wrong, goddammit. I give up. Or if you'd be kind enough to make a full video showing how you turn a model into an assetbundle, I'd be super grateful. Otherwise, I'm completely at a loss. I somehow managed to get it working by accident a few times, but now no matter how hard I try, I just can't replicate it.

Have you tried one of the UnityAssstVamifier plugins? One should be built into the latest version of VaM, original below for reference.

Although i turn it into an assetbundle, it still retains separate layers for the body and clothes. So, I don't think that plugin will solve the issue

But it work with this.

Maybe this version of the plugin below will help if the body and clothes are separate layers or materials.
