You can convert M4 to M5 or any uv set loaded on Genesis. Daz has a tool to do this. Its called map transfer.

Just very small seam fixing is required. But most times it does a good job.

Wow! I didnt know that feature even existed LOL! Thanks Zev!!

Spyro I went and bought DT’s Interjection for the SSS maps and I don’t use Transluceny anymore, I just increase the SSS Strength.

Is that item on Daz store ?

yep http://www.daz3d.com/shop/interjection-surface-injections-for-daz-studio

WOW, why have I not got this already haha! Thanks Szark!! This looks great!

My pleasure. But I didn’t buy it for the presets just SSS maps as I feel the settings aren’t quite right for my lighting prefering to set up HSS/UBS/2 from scratch.

You get 3 sets of SSS maps, weak, medium and strong. IMHO there are the best SSS maps I have seen. Even better than the ones that come with VueSkin.

Thanks Szark! - I always use HSS with a formula I’ve refined over quite some time now, so I think I’m in the same boat.

I use UberSurface 2 when I want them to be wet or covered in dirt lol It’s very useful. Good for non humans too!

UberSurface 2 is my favourite tool. I am using it all the time now.

This item looks great. Does it come with a tutorial… Or… Instructions?

SereneNight are you refering to Interjection?

Not that I can see just a readme

But you really ought to know how to ise HSS (human Skin shader) or UberSurface that comes with Daz Studio or UberSurface 2 (a paid for product) so you can adjust as needed.

@Serene

Both HSS an US2 are the best shaders to use on your characters! I have not turned back ever since I first gave them a go! And you can use them on ANYTHING!

I’m getting rather disturbing results here… with the texture conversion…

I dont know what I’m doing wrong??

It’s all smashed up and broken in all textures I did :(

Do it one map at a time..That helped me..I did bump seperate and diffuse seperate for each group…when I did a batch job I got the same problem. Also make sure you follow the tutorial’s settings..when I put in my own I got weird results lol.

Spyro try this vid instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAIoOjSSgjc

Ye try that vid..its easier to understand. Thanks Szark:)

Ah, yes I think I understand now… I should be doing everything one at a time. Makes sense. Thanks for the video. I’m definitely a visual person lol

YEY!!

Zev you were right about one at a time! Works beautifully!! Turns out I did what the video said to do… But DS 4.5 must require you to do it all single file.

Thanks guys for all your help!! This is a great relief for me in Photoshop! I’d be working for hours trying to warp it right LOL

Cheers!

I must admit I have never tried the Map Transfer.
