Comparing wet products

I'm looking at getting a product to make characters have water drops on them.  I'm finding several, but the 3 most relevant look like:

http://www.daz3d.com/drips-and-drops-for-genesis-2-female-s

http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-2-female-s-wet-body-iray

I'm using Iray for my renders.  Anyone have advice on which of these works best?

IMO by far the best one is the one for G3F. http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-female-s-wet-body-iray

Since you're using Iray, the Macro Wet Maps appear to be 3Delight only (at least there is no mention of Iray, and all of the promo renders are marked 3Delight). I do not own any of the products you listed, but I do have the Genesis 3 version of the Wet Body Iray, and I find it quite convincing and well-documented. The Drips and Drops product seems to be for specific effects rather than for general wetness. A product I do own for Genesis 2 (except only with certain textures/skins) is http://www.daz3d.com/wet-sweat-rain-for-genesis-2-female-s, which I find works very well if you put in the work, but I have not tried it in Iray, and it was not available at the time of this product's release. Generally, the promo renders reveal whatever strengths or weaknesses a product like this has. Hope that helps a bit. I wish you well with your work. Cheers

I might point out that the promo renders for the G3F one really don't do it justice. I actually discourage my partner from buying it, but she-who-must-be-obeyed (and who holds the purse strings) was spot on with this one. I looks the best in less starkly (directly) lit environments.
