Who makes the best G9 Skin mats?

[ulysses]

I only get characters for their mats (specifically skin). Looking for realism (slight imperfections, freckles, spots, etc). Recommendations

I've messed with several G9 skins and have yet to find one I like as much as G8. I still DL them but I've deleted all G9 content off my main HD.

[eelgoo]

Stick with G8.

🙂

[ulysses]

I don't really care about the figures as much as the skin mats. Surely there are good skin mats out there for G9, no?

@eelgoo, what 8.1 creators do you recommend for skin mats?

[eelgoo]

G9 files get very bloaty.

8.1 is being a bit specific, I'll have to take a mooch around & get back to you.

[eelgoo]

Right.

A Glass Darkly

Carbon Crow

Colm Jackson

Eichhorn Art (Fenrissa)

Ennushka

Saiyaness

Tempesta

Tom Cat Oliver

Of course, it is very subjective.

There are more for G8 that have not ventured to G8.1 characters.

Here is an actual reply to your question:

For freckles/beauty marks:
- MagicMaiden(a bit on the lower res but they look very nice): https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/vendors/MagicMaiden
- Cherubit: Very nice freckles, I use this skin quite a bit!

For a smoother/cleaner (a bit doll like) look:
- ColorGaleria: https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/165872/cgi-seleida-for-genesis-9
- HID3D (some look nice, I just find the translucency to be too high and so I mess with the sliders a bit in the surfaces tab): https://www.daz3d.com/hid3d
- P3Design has got nice looking ones too: https://www.daz3d.com/p3design#filtered=1
Vicey3D: https://hpcl.daz3d.com/vicey3d

Wrinkles:
- Emrys has very detailed ones made for older looking characters: https://www.daz3d.com/e3d-mayra-hd-for-genesis-9

I am probably missing a few, but the Daz Original ones I really don't like besides maybe vicky 9.

[eelgoo]

I don't know if it is the case, but if the Vicey G9 textures follow the pattern of the G8, there will be just one default body texture for all characters.

[ADAM]

I like bluejaunte as well. I default to those skins often.

[ulysses]

Thanks to all for the replies. I shall check them all out.

Thanks Esel. Those are nice. Unfortunately, $45 is too much for a character, much less just the mats, which is all I'm looking for.

[Kelsie332]

This makes me curious.

I also go for character skin and mats, but personally favor DAZ original characters as their skins tends to look the most realistic in my opinion. Am I the only person that thinks this? Or does everyone else do the same?

[eelgoo]

Another alternative is to use resources such as those from 3DSK & craft your own skins.

After having tried almost all PA skins I always revert back to Daz Originals and Bluejaunte.

But I am now just waiting for G9.1 with OmniSkin. OmniSkin is already in Daz but not in use and the playbook will be the same as when G8 transitioned to PBR for 8.1 but G9 kept using PBR. Daz is going to sell skin and mesh upgrades separately.
