Made something hotter than before. Sage morph is completely mine, but I used Gen 8.

I'm about to post a Sage pic myself, and I noticed this shit too. It's her ass cheeks on the texture itself. I took it into Photoshop and clone brushed over it.

It's where the skin texture wraps around the figure and joins up. If it is taken from a scan it quite often is screwed up at the edges and their very visible. Photoshop (or GIMP if you're cheap like me) will take that out
Not very good, but only took 3 minutes

see that was my first thought too. "must be where the seam is".
So I unwrapped her, and nope. the seam is lower... this seems to just be a crease made on purpose, in the normal map. to get some ambient occlusion, that only works when the model is standing, and lit a certain way...
And when you think people sell those for money...
Anyway, Photoshop it is.
thx everyone for you help

I have the same thing with her ass (by the way you forgot to add the genitals) the same "scars". It was in my last art, cured through the healing brush tool in Ps.

Good to know. I've seen so many bad seam transitions that was my first thought. I wonder if it was a scanned texture and the shadow of the buttocks didn't make the transition well. Nice thing about that is, if you fix the main material file it will be good to go from now on

see, I'm not sure how to go about that part (I'm quite okay in Blender, but still figuring my way around Daz).if you fix the main material file it will be good to go from now on
I've had a look through the files in my Library, but haven't found any of the maps for the skin materials, or how to directly edit them. I could do this in Blender, but since I like making a basic outfit and a pose in Daz, to then rework them in Blender, it means I would have to edit every map in Blender every time I make a new Sage scene.
So my idea was just to edit it in PS in post production. but if you have any pointers as to where to find the maps to edit them in Daz (so I can do it once and for all) I'll happily take it.
thanks very much for your help thus far anyway bud

Great work man. I've been wanting to do something with that exact pose, but never quite found the right idea!
really like what you've done there.
If I may, I would have lit her upper body a bit more, maybe focusing on her face. Unless your goal was to attract vision to a more central part, if so then great job
and also... 16/9 guys, cmon! How do I steal your art for my wallpaper collection then, huh?

Lord, that image is disturbing. It looks like something you'd see hanging on the wall at Jeffrey Dahmer's house.

Then in the surfaces tab expand the character/surfaces and select torso.
Hovering the mouse over the base color selection box, will give you the path to that texture, clicking on it and selecting browse
usually takes you directly to that folder, but not always.

open that skin texture file in Photoshop or GIMP and do your editing directly on it, then save it back to the original location. Make a copy of the file first in case you screw up! Every time after that the new skinsee, I'm not sure how to go about that part (I'm quite okay in Blender, but still figuring my way around Daz).

Nice. Yeah, with GIMP, there's a ton of tutorials for using it on Youtube as well for anyone new.

Never knew that runtime folder had all the textures. I feel dumb! this is an actual game changer.
sorry for being such a noob, thanks for your help guys!

Very good art, good job. Now do us a favor, for the sake of skyrim fans, create DIK skyrim
