Blackeye anyone?
in The Commons
I've been trying to give a character a blackeye, you know, the one from a fistfight not from demonic possession.
Not looking too good. I ended up creating it in photoshop but it didn't look too convincing. Is there a way or a resource to start dotting some eyes? Swollen shut, blackn blue, painful looking. Any experienced Daz boxers out there have a secret?

For the texture side, you can try something called Wound Makeup Artist. You can find them in SimonWM's store, depending on which generaiton you need: https://www.daz3d.com/simonwm
No idea what might be available for the "swelled shut" side, though. That seems like it would need to be a morph of some sort, but I don't know where you can find it.
Thanks vwrangler, I have been trying with the Wound Makeup artist as directed but it's looking more like a car accident right now, lol. I was hoping maybe there was a ready made "I got busted in the eye" add on. Oh well, soldier on right.
My Pete character has a black eye....but also may be a bit more beaten up than you are looking for

Looks like there's a puffy blackeye in the secondskin wounds pack, https://www.daz3d.com/wound-makeup-artist-iray-for-genesis-3-female-s
You may want to try some eye morphs to make the upper and lower lids puffy and perhaps a little squinting.
I bought SF-Design character Peter at Rend. - it came with a black eye that works with g3m.
Thanks allot for all the help, great ideas and excellent leads. I ended up using the "Wound Makeup Artist" from Simon since I have had a lot of luck with his products. Very easy to use, great creator.
I did manage to get a really good "swollen" effect by using a deformer but it wanted to only move the eyelids and not the eye socket too much no matter how much I worked with the weight map. It came out pretty good anyways but for some reason that character can no longer be dressed??? Any and every piece of clothing I tried to fit to it wouldn't work, lol. I guess I screwed up the file somehow. So here is version 2 with a top on and a little post work. Not as swelled up but still a pretty good blackeye I believe.
Thanks again for the assistance, now back down the rabbit hole for me!
Ps~I will be buying Pete as soon as the wife releases more funds. He looks like a bat got broke across his face, can't wait to meet him, Oh, and Biggun, how did I miss that guy????
highly recommended, whether I use him or not, I almost always end up using something from the the bruises, teeth, face morphs with child characters- one of the best purchases i have ever made.
