I tried to create toon/semitooon universal shader. Universal shader means that different textures give the same style and characters are from the same story. I do not like renders where characters seems to be from diffeent stories.
Moreover I worked with very crappy laptop and had to avoid transluency, subsurface, high roughtness (glossy/specular) etc. I was satisfied with effects - sample below light haur and skin + dark hair and skin:

With better processor I need not to care about transluency and sss and try to obtain more transluent "wax like" shader. I found it much more universal and flexible differnt textures fit each other. Below sample of the same characters with another shader:

While not exactly my thing, I am impressed with what you did here! They do look kewl! Nice job. (y)

What the hell is going on with vaginas? I'm using golden palace and applying material presets but it looks bland as hell.

Try "NGV8" (New Genitalia for Victoria 8). It's much better. That's a strange looking hoo-ha on her! ;)
Never tried it. The model is a G9 though. will it still work? I've only ever used Golden Palace and Dicktator. The results are kinda meh.

Ah, no, won't work with that. I only ever use G8, not a fan of G9.

I like NGV8 for other reasons, when I get another asset (like breastacular's breast shell) with a Geoshell as well, NGV8 just needs to be updated and any problems are fixed.

One of these days I may mess around with G9 again, but I honestly just don't see a good reason to.

Have you added the GP Geoshells?
I go thru the usual process of apply it thru this then I click on the shells in the scene tab to add the relevant minora and majora textures. Something isn't working though. I have it at High Resolution and Level 2 Subd for the viewport. To see if it helped.

The issues with G9 like joints can now be tweaked with but I notice it kinda looks unnatural after a few movements.
Might just be me.
