No Fingernail Morph for Genesis 9?

Write Idea

Can anyone think of or recommend a morph to remove Genesis 9's fingernails?

I want to do a realistic glove texture, but the nails are a major eyesore. I thought about creating a geograft, but it doesn't work. I'm using HD morphs on Genesis 9 figure, and the mesh doesn't connect properly. @RawArt had a few for the older Genesis figures (No Suit Genesis 8 Male, No Suit Genesis 8 Female, etc...), but none for Genesis 9.

If anyone can think of any, it'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Can't you just set the texture opacity of the nails to 0%? You might need to change the pbrskin texture to something else, probably using Pbrskin Plus or the newer Pro:

There's no surface underneath the nails.

@Write Idea Will this do?  The poles on the nail tips are tricky to remove and this is quick and dirty, but hopefully will help.  

Just download the zip file, unzip to your root folder and you will find the shape presets under People/Genesis 9/Shapes/NewGuy/NG REM FN .  Alternatively the morph is under Actor/Hands/NG RemFN.  

Merry Christmas!  

Edit to add: I'm not sure how the textures will respond to this as the old UVs still apply, might be some distortion.  Let me know how it works out!

@NewGuy, this is beyond perfect. Thank you so much! I'm going to make the textures in Substance Painter, so I should be able to adjust for any disformaties in the maps.

I'm glad I bought so many of your products! I have all of your "Build Your Own" pose sets for G9 (and a few for G8), and "Faces Of" expressions sets. They are a wonderful go-to sets. So easy to use. I'm gonna go pick up your Stool Pose set just for your generosity!

Glad it worked out, and thanks for the plug.  

I am glad you are enjoying the products.  More to come in the new year.  Just working on them now... so keep a lookout!
