how are you creating the skin? I would love to learn how to create my own
I created a G3F layer (arm,face,legs,torso,etc...), with 50% trans. for a model.
I download a brush for photoshop (Skin and pores for knees and others).
At first I used the mixer brush tool with a brush skin, then the corrector to homogenize everything. The hardest part was the pores to make it take the desired shape on daz.
Oh yeah, I also used a lot of filters for the brushs, so that the color wouldn't be the same everywhere.
It would be too long to explain step by step. It was the feeling all along.
For the nipples I just made a copy/past of the Adaline skin, and a corrector to match the colors around the nipples.

thanks I do a lot of fantasy characters (obviously if you seen my work on here) and I can never find the right Flawless skin for elves. I tried Skinbuilder but i came to realize they look the same

Good luck it's hard to start from scratch, the easiest way would be to retouch a skin directly.
I tried to make a skin like a Miki3dx, I love these renderings too much. (Very colourful)

Skin shader presets such as Anagenesis don't necessarily make the character skin look better. They are merely changing the skin settings, which is something you can do manually yourself. If the skin shader doesn't improve the look, then simply don't use it with the active skin. Given you are using Victoria 8 skin, I would suggest Altern 8 if you have it, as it has a customised set of shader settings specifically for that model skin. Essentially the people that created Altern 8 played with the skin settings until they achieved something that they liked and then saved those setting for use by others.

PS: Victoria 8 HD addon is a figure geometry tweak and does not change the skin at all.
Thanks for your time. I will continue testing with the different shaders. I have seen that you have a post of Daz tutorials, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
