Any lip colors out there for G3M?

Hi. I'm working on a Joker character, just for giggles, but I'm thinking it would be a lot easier if there were any G3M textures with red lips on the market. Granted, I don't know why there would be, but you never know 'til you ask, right? I've got something passable mostly worked out, except the lips aren't lining up right. That's because it's a G3F texture on the G3M mesh... Would I have better luck with a G2M texture? I think there were some clown sets for that...

Thanks!

    i believe it's possible if you have either photoshop or gimp, import the face texture into either program create a transparent layer paint the color you want around the outline where you want the color and use the layer setting to get something close to what you want used the same thing with gimp using a layer style of grain merge depends on the color as to what layer mode you would use have to play with them to get what you want, not sure about ps since never tried that program

    Hi. ermullins. Yes, that's possible and almost exactly what I've done so far. The trouble is, my skill set won't allow for more than a sort of monochormatic "fill" of the area... I'm going to have better luck if I start with a more realistic piece of artwork and layer that onto my texture. That's what I'd been thinking to try when I posted the question, but then it occurred to me that I could just use mine for the Face surface and the other for the Lips surface. I don't know if that makes any sense. It's late...  :)

    outoftouch does have some lip gloss settings at rendo iray lipgloss  that from the look of it uses the layered image editor but are for the g3f but only applies it's self to the lip surface node don't know if seen those as to whether they would work on males dont know since i don't have any male characters to try it on if it did you more than likely have to apply it manually in the editor

    They will apply but because they are made for the Genesis 3 Female UV the texture does not line up correctly on the Genesis 3 Male lips.  You might be able to slide and scale the lips texture in the LIE editor but it would probably be easier just to make one from scratch using the Genesis 3 Male lips in an image editor program.

    I guess you don't have this? http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-uv-swap-male-and-female-base

    You can put any G3F lip material setting for characters that use the G3F Base UVs (a lot of them) onto G3M - here's Corbin borrowing Nathalie for Olympia 7's red lipstick.

    Wow. Nope... I didn't know about a lot of these ideas. Scorpio's would work, and so would JUJU's and Melanie's. Thanks, everybody!  :)

    I'm still figuring out the Iray shader, so I'm not sure how well this would work, but what about just changing the base color of the lips on the surfaces tab?  I know that's a viable option (although it doesn't look quite as natural - which sometimes you want) in 3DL.
