Is there a way to get the skin texture, bump map, etc of Genesis 3 characters and open them in Photoshop? Also where can I get the vein maps? Is it also already included in the characters?

In the Surfaces pane's Editor tab click the mini-thumbnail to the left of the colour bar/strength slider for the property and either hold down cmd(Mac)/ctrl(Win) as you click Browse... to open a file browser to the texture location or just click Browse normally and then right-click on the map to open it in another application, then cancel the file loader (or use it to load your modified textures). Do note that you should not save a modified version over the top of the original as that will be replaced by the enxt update to the item, and that you should not save to the \Data\Cloud\1_# folder for items installed via Connect.
When you install products there is a texture folder for each product, usually in this place Studio - content - runtime - textures - whatever artist it is. You can them open them in any image editing program and alter for personal use only.
characters don't usually come with vein maps. You;ll have to purchase an addon for these.
The texture maps for all the Genesis 3 characters, from the base figures through to the individual character products will be found under Runtime\Textures in your content library. The individual texture maps for a given character will be found in various subfolders specific to each - impossible to be more specific about that. For example the texture maps for the base G3F figure can be found under Runtime\Textures\Raiya\Jeane\. Victoria 7's texture maps are found under Runtime\Textures\DAZ\Characters\Genesis3\Victoria7\. A lot of the maps for character morphs can be found in the Textures folder under subfolders bearing the vendors name. If you have the .zip archives you can peruse them to find the file paths and folder names to help you locate the maps.
Where can I purchase the vein maps?
Depends on how the veins are being generated. If they are bump or displacement maps they can found like any other texture map. If they are HD morphs you would need to be able to 'bake' them to a map (or maps).
