Morph transfer V4 to GF8.1 (NSFW)

[Anonymous]

She looks great! Can't wait to see her in the blog, really beautiful!

Thanks!

I'm hoping to get some maps done and tidied up then onto more conversions over the next few days. Studio is abusing me in the rendering department so it's going to take longer than I had hoped 🙁

So I did all the texture maps for Iray and it went well apart from the body bump map which needs tweaking, I missed and it's lighter than the other bump maps. Now she has veins and all the rest, looks great. I wanted Uber skin but she also looks great with PBR skin, perhaps even better.

I would post an image but I'm having DS problems with the lighting and rendering so it's on hold until I can fix the issue 🙁

The vast majority of the time I prefer the Uber skins.

Very occasionally a PBR skin can excel under appropriate lighting, but usually I find them too glossy / plastic looking when compared to an uber.

I agree about the PBR plastic look, but as I found out it depends on the lighting. (Which I'm having trouble with) But have no fears I'll keep them Uber 🙂

The same Danae London V4 skin but this time completely overhauled.
I've looked at vendors maps and they vary from light to dark bumps among other maps depending on the look they want when creating their characters.

Below are Iray UBER and PBR skins. The PBR skin looked flat while the UBER skin had a lot more detail.

UBER Skin

PBR Skin

The image below was the original converted to Iray UBER with some new maps created. For some reason or the other the back of the head and torso had a flat shine. After converting the maps to PBR the problem went away.

[eelgoo]

So converting to PBR dealt with the gloss issue.

Did you convert back to uber after that?

@eelgoo

Correct. I did convert back to uber but the problem remained.
I'm going to fix the issue because I'm not the one who gives up easy 🙂

About the Danae morphs. It's a 100% No I'm afraid.
They are dial spun and you have to apply around 30 different dials after porting them to G3/G8. They just wont port as a single morph 🙁

I'd like to do both UBER and PBR skins but it's the translucency on the PBR that is the biggest hurdle. I will mess with the maps more and see what gives because the London skin has great realistic detail and it would be a shame to discard it at this point.

Maybe this could help. He takes a V4 character with multiple morphs, export it as obj and load it as a single morph. Then convert to G2 and so on.

@billyhill

I applaud your tenacity! 😉

I was thinking along similar lines to what @Trader suggested

That sounds like a decent work around. 🙂

Worst case at least we will have decent texture ports.

Thanks! Could you please up that to Mega or another file sharing site because I don't have a DA account. The A-holes won't even let me create one :/

@eelgoo

Thanks mate. I'm a native Vray user so this Iray mapping although similar is a small learning curve for me, it's all good fun. I'll try the offering from @trader and see if it does what it says 🙂

[Anonymous]

Sure, here you go. @billyhill

Thanks!

Success!

Danae's London converted from V4 to Genesis 8.1 Female. The whiter UBER skin tone is before she was remapped. The remapped version was better in the light and shows much more detail even in a low res render. The lower eyelids might need a tweak in Zbrush, they looked odd when I tested and applied some expressions. Skin still needs some fixing and Beta testing before release on the blog.

Original Converted Skin.

Improved Skin 🙂

[eelgoo]

Pretty good for a WIP 😉

The second shows a much warmer skin tone.
Really nice!

🙂
