Changing Color Texture of Hands and adding poses to my work

zodiacking2009

Hello there. Listen, can anyone help me? I'm new at Daz3d and I need help with my poses and hand textures. I need to change the color of my model's hands to white and when I'm doing a salute pose, the model just moved like a bird. Can anyone help me? Also my model is a Genesis 8 Female.

What do you mean when you say the model moved like a bird? What tool(s) are you trying to use?

If you directly drag figure's hand to pose it, the figure will move holistically... maybe like flying up (like a bird ?) If so, you need to Pin an upper joint like Chest Upper (select Chest Upper bone, press Spacebar to Pin), then drag the hand.

As for changing the color of hands, you only want the hands to be white or the whole arms to be white ?

Well, when I do the salute pose, it moves when using the universal tool.

Also I only want the hands to be white and can you show me how to do the pin?

To do a Pin, as I said above, you select an upper joint of the hand, for instance, Chest Upper, then prese Spacebar to Pin it. Then drag the hand, now the figure will not move.

As for make white hands, since there's no separate Surface for hands, you can either modify the texture map of Arms to make the hands white

or use Diffuse Overlay Weight slot (if with Iray Uber shader) with a Mask to make hands white,

or use Layered Image Editor to add a white texture map with alpha channel on Arms surface to make hands white,

or use a geoshell to make it.

These 're commonly-used ways for such a case ~~

Really? Wow. Thanks.

They're pretty fundamental... You may learn from Parmy's tutorials:

Boy, you ain't kidding.

Check this out!

And since that's for Generation 4 (M4/V4, etc.,) get this:

I collect these animations for all kinds of things and I use them on all generations from generation 4 to present, so I got the Bundle
