New product. Looks kinda crazy

http://www.daz3d.com/ultimate-blood-n-dirt-for-genesis-3-female-s

Obvious question:

What happens if I use this on a male Gen 3 figure?

Last time this came up, I was able to use an armour outfit, but what about this and the UV caution thingie?

    The UVs wouldn't match and you'd get gaps?

    Awww damn...I've looked at his catalogue. It seems only women get bloody in battle.

    That makes no sense to make this only for female characters....

    And not to be sexist (either way) but isn't it supposed to be mostly men as the warmongering savages?

    And if we go feminist the other way, bloody globs aren't sexy so I can't see the link to the 3-D-high-heel-buy-anything-sexy crowd.

    WHY?!

    looks like purchase averted.

    OH wait one gosh-damn minute.

    I just noticed, the blood doesn't go on the clothes, it's only on the figure.

    Now I ahve to search for a blood system that adds the blood to the outside of whatever.

    I'm really confused by this product now.

    This utility occassionally goes on sale. Good for placing G3F textures on G3M and vice versa.

    So let me understand this...

    I could have gotten this product for women....

    And used the above product to use it with a male figure as opposed to ever needing the male version, which is here?

    Or am I reading too far into the capabilities? Cause it would seem Daz needs to make this a feature and reduce the workload on the vendors and u$.

    I think it's the deal as with clothing. Autofit lets you put G3M clothes on G3F and vice versa. However, sometimes stretching occurs because autofit isn't perfect. Same with UV swap.

    Clothing and products designed specifically for a figure/gender will fit better.

    I've tried uv swap with skins and it looked good to me. I haven't tested with geometry shells...which seems to be what the hp-prototype uses, so I cannot speak to its usefulness there.

    Theoretically geometry shells can work this way... However you still have to factor in UVs. You cant use XT4s armor on YC7 and vice versa, but some items that dont take seams into consideration can be used interchangably. 

    Now if you don't mind photoshopping seams in post work, thats a different story.

    Haven't tried, but I'd happily give a prototype to someone to test it out.

    Decals are what you seek. The recent decal product can add blood stains and other effects to anything, and cross over clothes and skin. No auto fit, no geoshells or any of that stuff.

    You create a decal box and parent it to what you want to cover. Then you move the box into place and apply the effect. It works sort of like a shrink wrap and fits to your figure and clothes. You rotate and move it around as well, it has a lot of freedom. The only drawback is that this method is only visible with Iray Preview mode, so if you have a weak machine, that could be a hassel.

    I have uv swap, so I'll happily test it out for a prototype.
