How do you get the skin to shine like this?

Hi all. This product here pretty much as every image of the character having shinny skin that I can seem to do. I really like how he/she has a nice white shine all over the skin. Does anyone know what the trick is? 

Thank you for any help and I hope everyone has a good day.

    You can try Dual Lobe Specular, when you move the Dual Lobe Specular Weight slider some additional specular controls will show up, play with these:

    Oh my ... that screencast site looks handy. I hope more people here catch on and use that (or similar) to demonstrate techniques.  Thanks.

    You can also set the dual lobe 1 roughness to 0.5/0.6 and set the topcoat to reflect mode (The default) and either set the power to 25 or use a greyscale/spec map in the color setting and set the roughness to 0.1 for a natural wet look!

    This also works for PBR as well!

    That is funny as I was just wondering why they didn't just upload to the post/Daz instead of using an external site that I can't view without enabling some of the scripts i have blocked.

    You get a free 2 GB space / 2 GB bandwidth Screencast account when buying SnagIt.  If you capture a video with Snagit which is very simple you can then upload it automatically from SnagIt to Screencast with two clicks and then just post the link.

    I don't think the DAZ forum supports videos other than on youtube (which I don't use)?

    Though on the free account the vidoes expire after 12 months, you need the paid Pro account which is a bit expensive if you want to get rid of the time limit.

    That's what I thought too. The point I was trying to make is that it is nice to see a screencast rather than a bunch of still captures. If there is a way of uploading (to this forum) OBS screencasts, for example, even better.

    Thanks a lot, @takezo_3001!

    Now there's shiny and wet look covered in this thread, awesome!

    For a wet look there is a thread here, GlennF posted a normal map there for simulating water drops:

    You're basically simulating a coating of oil.

    Top coat should work.
