Discover new skin realism possibilities with Genesis 8.1 Skin Detail maps. There are 16 tiling micro skin textures with material poses to apply to genesis 8.1 Female. They are seamlessly tiling; each one has a pattern, normal and roughness version. Made to help you work with the Genesis 8.1 “Detail Normal Map” and “Detail Specular Roughness Mult” channels. The effect is an all over soft, beautiful skin halo that reacts to your lighting.

New in this collection you also get 47 alphas for various special skin details like knees, nipples, knuckle, leg, buttock and chest skin plus many more.

Alphas can be used in other programs like Zbrush for sculpting and with texture fill brushes in PaintShop Pro or PhotoShop for bump map creation. Two versions of each alpha are included, one with a black background and one with a 50% grey. One version or the other will work with most programs. Processed in such a way that they can be sized up or down quite a bit without loss or distortion.

Merchant Resource for character creation, if you combine them onto a single UV bump or skin detail map use as many as you like, if redistributing a tiling map and mat pose for Genesis 8.1 Female, please limit to one per character.

Compatible with Zbrush, Substance Painter, Quixel and any program capable of using Alphas with a black or 50% grey background. The version with a grey background and the tiling skins can be used with texture function and apply with a brush in Paint Shop Pro, Photo Shop and any program that has a texture fill brush capability.

Shown as bump and displacement in Daz Studio on fairly low res props subdivided. Results in Zbrush or similar on higher resolution mesh may be better.

• To use as Zbrush Alpha:
• Select standard brush, load a mesh, select Dynamesh base mesh generation tool, or otherwise increase the sub d resolution.
• The higher the better it will look (open the Geometry tool palette and click on the Dynamesh option)
• Next choose the rectangular selection type,
• Find and select the alpha wherever you keep those, use the version with black edges
• Click drag out the shape onto the mesh surface to the desired size
• If you need to, adjust the intensity and re apply until it looks good.
• You can also adjust the contrast of the alpha itself to change the look it gives you.

• There are good video tutorials on youtube, type “using alphas in Zbrush”.

• In Paint programs, as brushes:

• To use as texture fill brush in PSP, PhotShop etc.
  • To use as brushes on a bump texture map, choose the version with grey borders, your bump map should have 50% grey as the neutral color (meaning flat, no bump applied. Lighter is higher, black is lower) put the alpha texture in patterns folder or wherever you keep your brush texture fill patterns.

• You may need to re-save in another format, if all your texture fill files are .bmp for instance just re-save it in that format or if it needs to have the colors reduced .tif is the highest quality starting format, when re-saving or changing formats keep compression least to avoid artifacts (especially avoid .tif .lzw compression altogether).

• Select your brush shape and size, select texture fill or your program's equivalent (pattern fill etc. In PSP it's styles which are selected in the color palette box area in the upper left, the choices are solid color, gradient or pattern fill) select pattern fill with the alpha you want open as well along with your brush type and the brush should apply the pattern from the center outwards with whatever soft or other kind of edges your brush has. You can usually select a percentage here as well to scale the pattern, in PSP you can rotate the pattern. If you drag the brush you may get funky results and depending on how you have brush “step” set it can look jittery. It's mainly meant to be applied in a single click but experiment and have fun!

• I tend to apply brushes like this onto their own layer so I can make adjustments to the brightness to get the best blend with the rest of my map, apply more blur, erase bits etc. Some blurs will give you a glowing white edge but Gaussian blur has worked well in all programs I have tried.
