Heeey how is everyone? I need help Daz fam. I need a deep chest wound for my g9. I have bought every wound, scar, injury pack i could find, spent big cash & I still havent found what i'm looking for (yes i sang that last part U2 style ;) At this point i guess i'm going to have to do it myself. Does anyone know any good tutorials or advice, tips, etc on how to make my own wounds? Also if anyone knows any good wounds, horror, scary, bloody, gore stuff, i would truly appreciate it! 

EDIT: Not sure if this is in the right spot. Let me know if theres a better area fr this question <3

    How deep? A really deep hole, or a right through the body hole, would probably best be handled with a Geometry Graft - essentially take the figure into a modeller, at base resolution and with no morphs or posing applied, then delete everything but the polygons around the area(s) to be effected. Don't touvh the edges or  vertices around the area, but you can do what you like within to do the base shape of the hole (don't go mad on detail at this stage) - the main issue will be that you will probably need to do fresh UVs for the new area. Once done you import that into DS, use the Transfer Utility to rig it, refine that as needed (with luck it will be OK as is), fit it to the base figure, then select the base figure and use the Geometry Editor to select the area of the figure that is to be replaced with the graft (everything you kept to being the modelling) then right-click>Geometry Assignment>Set AutoHide Faces for Grafts. When you switch to a regular posing tool the skin over the hole should vanish as long as the graft is fitted, you then have the little issue of texturing it. Not a trivial task, and possibly not a New User task depending on your basic skillset, but it is doable.

    Thank you sooo much for your help, it means a lot to me!!! i've had the hardest time trying to get this chest wound right. I'm new-again. I used Poser years ago. I mainly worked with v4, m4. I was able to do all kinds of stuff with them, they were easier to manipulate. I was gone for a while. Now, I'm back to work on a new project, i'm using daz3d and decided to go with g9. Whole different ballgame lol much harder to manipulate.
