Beautiful Skin is back for Genesis 8 Female!

Here are the popular Beautiful Skin Iray shaders updated for Genesis 8 Female and better than ever with all-new sculpted normal maps, translucency maps, and even conforming Eyebrows! This set presents a different shader doctrine than the default Daz character shaders or any other set regarding settings, and as a result it not only looks amazing in a different way, it renders faster than almost any other set on the market.

Here you'll find not only basic presets to apply the shader and normal maps, but detailed presets to apply many tints and shades of skin, whether light or dark or alien. After many customer requests, this set also supports the female genitalia that come with Victoria 8! Even if you want to use the normal and translucency maps a character came with instead, there are mapless presets that only use shader settings, too. Every Genesis 8 Female character can benefit from these settings. It's time for Beautiful Skin!

What are Sculpted Normal Maps?

A sculpted normal map is made by subdividing the base mesh and then sculpting its surface at very high resolution to add tiny wrinkles, imperfections, pores, and other details, then baking those details to a normal map for use on your model. These are the kind of normal maps this product has, sculpted in Zbrush.

Normal maps can also be made automatically from the bump or diffuse maps using a 2D program like PhotoShop, the GIMP, or Shadermap Pro. These normal maps are much faster to make, but they're not sculpted, and they don't add any detail that is not already in the diffuse.

• Product Notes: SF Beautiful Skin Iray Genesis 8 Female

• LIGHTING PRO TIP!
  • Just like in real life photography, in Iray the lighter the skin is, the less intense the lights directly on it need to be to avoid “whiteout” situations.
  • The darker the skin is, the more intense the light needs to be to bring out its specular highlights and prevent the character disappearing into the background.
  • You can apply this with any of your purchased lighting sets, not just the ones in this skin pack!
