And the make matters worse... Say you DO get the skin to look good after 4 hours of messing with it... You change the lighting, or move them into another scene or load a different HDRI and the skin reacts to light SO vastly different that you again, are forced to reconstruct every surfaces for another 4 hours... This is a totally absolutely mind blowingly MASSIVE time hog... What needs to happen is DAZ needs to make a scpecial lighting room for vendors to do their skins in. So that Vendors are not all using wildy different lighting to surface their skins. And THEN Skin needs to have its very own base mixing called Skin so that we can put a stop to this generic Translucecy and Generic, make shift SSS and plasticy gloss and all these generic sliders that are ment for tables, cups, clothing, and swords to fake what should be a real setting... Like skin oil level slider bars and skin roughness, and skin velvet and skin translucency ect...

Let me just put it this way... I've never been able to see my own refection in someone els's skin because they were "wet" or oily... I understand there is roughness too, but its NOT fragmented When you apply gloss to these figures. No matter how good your spec map is. the fact of the matter is, you're polishing your character with an absolute surface, not a fragmented one. The glossy roughness is a way to FAKE fragmentation... Which works fine on floors, tables, cups, and household items. but on skin, it makes them look like plastic. Because you're applying the same stratigy and concept and rendering rules as plastic, to skin. When you do this. What ends up happening is where the gloss is on your character, the bump map is canceled out. Unless you APM up the bump maps, which in that case makes the non-shiny parts look dry and rough and jagged. Because your trying to fake fragmentation with bump maps. Until Skin has its own special sliders... There is no way to win.

If there is one thing we ALL know. It is that SKIN behaves in a very unique way, and PEOPLE is of the utmost importance in 3D, and therefore skin deserves own specialized sliders... Because as of right now. iRay skin  either looks like a plastic doll, or the other extreame of a ceramic figurine. This is the best I've ever gotten skin to look and that's largly do to postwork http://www.daz3d.com/galleryimage/image/182786/iranian-beauty_full.png

So the issue is,iray skin has no volume... Its super super flat. Top that gloss fakery, and generic SSS and there is only two possible outcomes. Flat and shiny, or volumetic, but looking like stone.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Looks a little similar to Moon Dress by Cute3D, but not 100%

(Also, as an aside, the Star 2.0 link on the Jazz Hair page is broken :) )

I was curious if anyone could help me figure out the model/skin/clothing that was used for this image, I would totally contact the artist but it seems that functionality isn't available on this site haha. (the second linked image is the one I am talking about)

The most important thing to me however is the body shape, I really love the muscle definition in the stomach and waist. 

Thanks in advance for the help!

If not, can you guys give some suggestions on other shops/sellers that sells a huge variety of footwear for Genesis 3?

Any help will be appreciated!

The cloak can be longer. What I'm mostly interested in is that the cloak is pinned at the shoulder and the front cloth covers his chest, leaving one arm open and free.

Is there a similar cloak on Daz that I don't know about yet? I tried searching, and nothing came up so far. 

A real pain when you are both dyslexic and have serious arthiritis in the hands.

Can you export height maps, and other options from terrains bullt with it?

The promo renders look gorgeous! Has anyone gotten this kit yet? I'm really loving the look of it but wonder how it renders - is it super hard on the computer? 

If anyone gets this and could leave some feedback on how "heavy" it is/how hard it is on the computer, it would be much appreciated! :) It looks CRAZY detailed, which makes me worried about how tough it might be on my vid card. 

I'm really clueless when it comes to animation so what I usally do was that I drag the Timeline bar thingy all the way to the righjt while the model is in T-Pose, and then start posing. I usually do this so that I can export as .dae  to Marvelous Designer. Then I replace the static T-Pose figure with the animated one I made, and hit simulate.

But this time I tried that (this is the first time I tried with limits off, I think), the pose looks slightly different. The arm was less rotated as if it was affected by the limits options (I'm not completely sure about it). I tried various different options.

I usually checked the "Animation" checkbox and the two below it ("Include transformations" and "Include morphs"). So I tried again with only the "Animation" checkbox, but it didn't have the animation when it was exported leaving me with only the static posed figure

I'm so frustrated and can't figure out any solution. Can anyone point out what in the hell did I do wrong?

For example, when I moved the upper arm just a bit close to the torso, it quickly overlapped. Is there any way to solve this?

Any help will be appreciated
