drawOverlay having no effect [resolved]

Hello everyone; having some trouble using drawOverlay(...).

During the character creation steps of my game I wish to apply tattoos/markings based on user-input. Here is the code as it looks now:

Code:

void RenderAvatar()

{

    switch(Renderer())

    {

        case RM_PREPARE:

        {

            // Code removed for brevity

            if(mesh)

            {

                Matrix& mat = Matrix(MatrixIdentity);

                mesh->draw(mat);

            }

            // Code removed for brevity            

            break;

        }

        case RM_OVERLAY:

        {

            // Code removed for brevity

            if(tattoo && definition.breed == BREED_HUMAN)

            {

                MeshLod &lod = mesh->getDrawLod(MatrixIdentity);

                REPA(lod) 

                {

                    if(Str(lod.parts[i].name) == "Human_Male_Torso")

                    {

                        lod.parts[i].drawOverlay(*tattoo);

                        break;

                    }

                }

            }

            // Code removed for brevity

            break;

        }

}

In-game, this code works, but I thought that was because of me calling cskel.setMatrix() to get the desired lod level which I can't do during character creation since I am only using a MeshPtr nothing more.

I have tried applying the tattoo to all LODs (looping through all i-th levels of LOD and calling drawOverlay(...)) and still no sign of it. I have done all the basic checks to ensure the resource is usable (can apply it in-game using almost identical code to the tutorial) and that RM_OVERLAY is called as is drawOverlay(...) and it is all fine up to that point.

Any ideas?

Not sure but try,

PHP Code:

case RM_OVERLAY:
{
     SetMatrix();

...rest of code...
