Talking about figures, my favorite of all time is still Lyra, but in your opinion who makes the most beautiful skins, maybe theres something that I'm missing on
not sure if its #1 but most if it looks nice.
Rank:I agree with Adam, but Iray doesn't do the skin textures any favors and you'll need to enhance them to get a better look. Oh, and mess about with the lighting.
Rank:yeah share some
@Kooroe If youre not comfortable sharing them for free, post a render in the art section. Im sure me and some others would be more than willing to part with some points for great textures. Heck, I pay $$ for characters just to get the texture. Unless its an awesome morph,but normal morphs are a dime a dozen like poor textures.
Most of my characters are NSFW so If you like porn then I don't mind sharing some images but not the textures in their current form maybe I will release them at a later date once I retire a character that is using it.
I think a artistic nude is fine. Pron isnt ok here.
JMHO if you're going to put yourself out there and imply your stuff may be equal or better than whats available, Id have something to back it up.
Then it might be just my fault be reading into your post to much.This is why I don't like talking to you because you imply/read bullshit between the lines. I never said that my skins are better then whats out there. I said I make my own skins period.
I have great discussions and arguments with close friends. no reason I cant have them with others.
We were discussing texture quality between me and other people. You were not part of it until you entered the conversation.
You opened with you modify and make your own. This lead me to believe you were implying that you had good or better quality textures. because the discussion was about good and quality textures. If you make poor textures then why say anything?
Most people take a texture and tweek it to what they think is better. I dont know many people that degrade textures unless they want to increase game speed.
I wrongfully assumed that when you said you modify textures that you personally though your modifications improved the textures you worked on and made them them better. I am sorry I did not and still do not understand why you made the comment or why you would edit textures if not to make them better.
If I take a great texture my goal would be to make it better. I have no need to modify poor textures since there are way to many of them and why try to make a turd into a gold bar when you can start off with a silver bar?
I tend to look at things analytically with common sense factored in. I forget not everyone understands my way of thinking.
aliens, skin patterning, skin colour, skin blemishes, lots of reasons to make or modify your own.
I haven't ever done anything other than a slight shift in skintone on a DAZ model, but I have modified and sometimes outright replaced textures on clothing and props because they were straight up shit; which is probably my biggest bugbear with content from all the vendors, good textures should be a requirement just behind 'actually fits the model') especially on scene sets which seem to universally have awful skins.
While ill agree on mods, the topic is beautiful skin not adding a tattoo. And also states he/she makes a custom texture which IMHO is no small undertaking for a full figure daz/poser character if you want quality.
I have been heavily using shaders for clothing, furniture, walls, floors, ect...
I believe Ive gotten better results in most cases than the stock textures that came with them. I only added the shader I did not create or customize it unless you consider tiles and color shades customizing. I just consider it tweeking settings.I guess venders cant do everything but, it would be nice to have a ready to go lock and load character right out of the box. Some are pretty close.
I think the DAZ HD characters are pretty usable out of the box. They err on the side of caution with the SSS settings but I think that's a reasonable nod to rendering time for end users who don't understand the technicalities (though it'd be nice to see some pre-tweaked shader settings since it is relatively easy to make shader presets in DAZ).
--
I would argue someone who wants to be a vendor _should_ be able to do everything, that's what makes the product good... if you can't do it all yourself, you collaborate. It's not the artists' fault of course, it's the fault of the storefronts who accept the products though obviously they sell, so what do I know.
This still is my favorite and most real life looking without using a skinshader
