I tried that but the pose was too feminine with how the model was standing, I could straighten it up but was hoping since there was one for woman, there was something for posing males who are holding a book.
appears am going have to spend ages setting up my own poses with males and books, kinda sucks but is what it is.

Hey all,
I'm currently trying to learn as much as possible about adding eyebrows in DAZ 3D.
For me the best way to learn is working with the generic genesis characters. However the female G8 skin for example comes with eyebrows painted directly on it. I need a generic skin without eyebrows to test these eyebrow packs.
Would anyone know where to find the basic G8 skin texture (not any of the Victoria, etc variants), but without eyebrows? Would I need to paint them off myself manually in photoshop? That would mean doing it on the four different layers (base, bump, translucency, top coat) with a final result I am not sure of.
The reason is that personalised skin textures such as Victoria's are incompatible with features such as Ultimate Make-up.
I don't understand why there is no variant without eyebrows. But perhaps there is? If so, I'd be really grateful if anyone would tell me where to find it!

That one doesn't seem to have been updated for G8 characters. You could buy the updated version I suppose.
Otherwise photoshop (or Gimp, but not sure if it has the same option) is your friend. Content aware brush removes them easily withing a couple seconds.
It works, just use the additional mask. Adjust it if you really need but mostly you don't have to.

Brilliant, thanks a lot to both no__name and Synx. In fact FYI the Genesis 3F mask does work on Genesis 8...beats me why, but heck, as long as it works!
For noobies like me: make sure to save the changes as materials preset. If not, it breaks your whole face texture once you close and reopen your character file.

They share the same UV maps. You can apply G3 skin materials on G8 and vice et versa.

thanks, that might do it, will have to see if I can find it tomorrow before I go back to working on the scene, appreciate the link.

I've loaded the female genitalia for genesis 8. Can't remember, but I believe this add-on is part of the Victoria bundle.
After googling around, am I right saying that there is no simple skin texture add-on for the genitalia (which appears as grey-metallic), which preserves the basic G8 skin texture?
In which case, I can only load a skin texture from a G8 made character (eg Victoria's), or use scripts such as Beautiful skin?

Yes, if the skin material of the character you use doesn't contain genital texture, you will have that grey-metallic aspect.
Easy path, you install New Gens for Victoria 8 (or Golden Palace) which can be used on any skins, or a little less easier, you create your own texture for it.

Great thanks for these, Golden palace looks very good and has a how to use pdf I'm working with right now. Cheers.
Daz3D will drop to CPU rendering whenever the full scene can't be fitted into the video card VRAM. With your GTX1650 (4GB VRAM?) this will happen whenever you have more than 1 character in the scene or have a complicated background. The later versions of Daz seem to be consuming more VRAM than earlier versions.
To have the scene use less VRAM you need to hide items not in the field of view or simplify the texture maps in the scene. The easiest way to simplify texture maps is via the use of Scene Optimizer.

A script that you can run that can lower the resolution of texture files. You can use this on things that won't be visable in the render, or even on models if they're not up close to the camera. I usually have 3 aspects of my characters. Full textures (for up close scenes), 1/2 reduction in textures (for regular distance from camera) and 1times reduction in textures (for greater distance) I do this because it makes the renders quicker, and you don't need all that crisp detail when the distance isn't going to show it anyways.
