ISO tail for any figure

I am trying to do a character render but currently using G3M but I need a tail for him.  The texture set I want to use for the character uses G3M maps.  if there was a good tail for G8M so I can use the G3M textures on G8M that would be great too.

    The only working tail beyond Genesis that I know of is the G8F one that came with LLF's anthrokitty she relased last week (I forget her name, forgive me). Is it possible to fit that, maybe?

    That tail is great!  When the funds come in I will get that.  Are there any free tails similar to that one in the mean time?

    Not that I know of.  These were the ones I thought of since I'd tested them at another store.

  • Doesn't look like they are geograph on, it sits on top so not that realistic !

    This is the character I want to make with G3M or G8M? I am still working out the details but a basic idea of him.

    What is the difference between them?  They look smart proper so I guess it can work for any figure.

    My guess it is a geocraft and not a prop - and that is why there is both a male and a female version.

    I have the female version and it is a prop. The difference between the two will be that there are Iray material presets for the tail to match various DAZ release female skins Aiko 7, Arabella 7 etc, the male version has corresponding male materials.

    OkayI I got the tail, but how do I get the tail to match the figure texture.  I am using G8M with the G3M tail and SY blue people (G3M).  How do I make sure the tail is the right shade of blue?

    The quick&dirty method I'd use, would be making sure the figure and the tail have the same shader types (so probably both iRay, otherwise, apply the iRay uber Base to the tail). Next right click on the materials for a part of the figure (an arm or the legs probably give best results), select copy, then go to the materials pane for the tail, and paste. Maybe stretch the textures a little bit, but it should work.

    With photoshop, you could probably take the various materials textures for the body, make copies, and turn each into a single homogenous texture without any definition for specific limbs or edges or anything, then apply those as materials for the tail. Sickleyield would probably have a better idea how to do it though, or may even have something laying around at Deviant, you could always ask there. https://www.deviantart.com/sickleyield

    Here is a render of the G3M Easy Pose Tail

    It is a smart prop, and of course clothes don't have holes for it. But it looks ok if you adjust it.. I moved it a bit so the tail appears to come through the underwear and not the waistband.  It's got some morphs for up/down, in/out, side/side, rotate.  The tail is easy pose so it's quick and easy to pose (duh). It is 3dl, but so is G3M, so you'd have to convert to Iray if that's what you want.  I only had time to do the base mat, but it it matches.  I seem to remember it might not have quite matched other skins when I tested it elsewhere, but it's probably not that hard to fix.

    Quick render....my 3dl light sucks, so....
