Is it possible to rearange the staples on this genesis 9 M3D Lysandra HD for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D in a different order/layout? Those staples look amazing but they dont match the layout of the cuts i have. I bought all the Esid FenixPhoenix wounds for the face & body, but i really need staples. I'm hoping its possible to rearange, but if not, does anyone know where i could get staples like THAT (they look so good) that i could rearange? Also, is it possible to make the Esid FenixPhoenix cuts any deeper or bigger? Thankz

They appear to be textures (using displacement etc.) which would not be separate bits that could be rearranged.
Thank you Richard Haseltine Thats whay i was afraid of :(
If you know Blender (or Substance Painter), you can carefully cut out the staple textures from the maps of diffuse by using an image editor like Ps or Affinity (free), then paint the texture as a stitch wherever you want onto the figure in Blender, then bake the maps. This way is optimal as the textures can be painted across UV seams.
Or, directly use a Decal Node to project the textures (a cutout opacity map has to be made...) or use Layered Image Editor to stack the texture maps onto the figure ~
Thank you so much crosswind <3 Unfortunatley it doesnt seem like i can use blender. I have an external harddrive & have not been able to get blender to work for me. I WISH i could figure out the blender issue. I'll look into the decal node/opacity map/layered image. Fingers crossed it works! Thank you!!!
No problem and good luck !
You can always take off the limits of the morphs (go to the wound dial, then use the little gear icon in the corner to open the parameter settings). Then uncheck "Use Limits". That will allow you to dial the wound past its limit. That's useful when you are also using the wound on an extreme morph.
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FenixPhoenix!!! I want those cuts deeper, longer, etc. I think this will really help me! I've been having the worst luck finding the wounds i need for gen 9.
Taking the limits off may not help with length, only with depth (just be sure to have your character at 4SubD for best results). Unfortunately, we didn't continue creating the wounds pack for Genesis 9 because they did quite poorly, unlike when we did them for Genesis 8.1. :(
FenixPhoenix WHAT?!? Youre not continuing with the wounds? I'm DEVASTATED to hear that (I feel woosey, i might faint lol JK) I check your page everytime i get on here to see if you have any new wounds. WOW, I am soooooooooo surprised they did poorly! I really appreciate them! I think I have them all. I couldnt find the cuts for the limbs, only the scars. Does that mean you wont be making staples like M3D Lysandra HD for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D for your cuts? I just posted in the product suggestion section about your HD Bite Marks Bundle for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Female | Daz 3D and whether they will fit/work for G9.
Yeah, the wounds did so poorly that we didn't continue, but the plan was to apply all the scar packs to the wounds. I might have to take a look to see if they did well in the long run and whether it would be worth doing. Will let you know if we do.
As to the bites, Esid already finished the morphs, and I just need to finish a couple of other products before tackling them. We are including vampire bites this time around as well! So they should be coming to the store soon. Same with the bullet wounds as well.
YOU'RE DOING THE BITES FOR G9?!? Yooooooooo this is the best news ever! I need big deep, gory bites (animal attack bites) YES PLEASSSSSSSSSSSE let me know if you make the staples too! My character needs them badly! I've been doing a little resarch and i found (although i could be dead wrong) that alot of people are still using G8 becasue there is so much stuff. Theres not as much for G9. Maybe thats why theyre selling poorly, maybe once G9 gets more stuff out more people will use it. IDK. What i do know is, finding good wounds, Gore, etc for G9 has been a serious strugggle for me! You & your Bro (i think thats what i read while researching) have been my saving grace thus far!
Animal Bites is in our list, but it will depend how the human and vampire bites do.
The thing is that other G9 products have sold very very well, like our fantasy skins. So we're really not sure why the scars, burns, wounds, etc. have done so poorly in comparison.
As to the stitches, we did a set for G8 and it did extremely poorly so we just crossed that off of our list entirely. I feel like there was a product of stitches for G9 done, though? Maybe try ForbiddenWhisper's store?
I'm hoping that they do well! I really want the large animal bites & i have not been able to find what i need anywhere. I absolutely love ForbiddenWhisper!!! Their work is phenomenal! I have their zipper, their monster maker (i have soooooooo much of their stuff) but unfortuntaley those staples/stitches didnt line up with the cuts on my characters face & body :( I'll have to go back and recheck, maybe i missed it.FINGERS CROSSED
Since Forbidden Whispers' products are mostly texture-based rather than with morphs, you can potentially grab one of the textures, isolate it, and place it where you want it to be.
