Hi! I want to purchase a new skin texture and was wondering if anybody had any opinion on what the most realistic texture is for the various mil women. also how about great lights for D|S? any opinions? thx!

Take a look at www.zs3d.com . Nausica and Suelma are very realistic.

Go to the DAZ Studio forum on www.daz3d.com and do a search for light sets. Several folks have posted free light sets for D|S. Poser light sets won't produce exactly the same effect in D|S that they do in Poser, so I'd hold off buying any. Runtime DNA has some free light sets, too, and I've had some nice effects using them.

Have a look at Nikita on http://www.mec4d.com/ (a horrible web site, I'm afraid, with huge flash, unnecessary sound etc).

Check out the gallery of LiquidRust, here, at Rendo (in the link), you will find awesome tips on how to make very realistic skin in D|S. LiquidRust also has free light sets for DS here, in the freebies:

SnowSultan also made some light set. Read the message 24 just below yours here at renderosity. Questor that is well known at Daz also gave some lights set but I do not know if they are still available. You should ask him on the Daz forum. Link below.

Lets make an important distinction here: a great skin texture has two components.

  1. The texture set itself.

For V3, I swear by Jokasta and Kimshara, both available here at Renderosity.

  1. The Shader Settings.

To date, figures have been designed for Poser. DAZ Studio has better lighting and surface control, and all figures require tweaking to render to best advantage in DS. People are just beginning to swap shader presets, I'm hoping this will become more and more common. (You don't swap copyright texture maps, just the shader settings to display them to best advantage.)

I'm hoping swapping shaders for existing figures and scenes become more common as more folk convert to DS, and if, frr instance Renderosity creates a DS freebies area. (hint. :)).

For starters, check out Questor's site at

http://questor.oldwolves.co.uk

and his extremely helpful postings on the DAZ forums.

And if people know more DS shader sites, please share!

thanks so much. i always see these incredible renders that look photo real and i covet... i dont come from a stricter 3d background so really nice lighting comes as a bit confusing to me! im going to go check all these out now!

I just bought "Mara for Victoria 3" from http://www.illusions-designs.net/ and I'm very impressed. Very good value for money and a lovely model. Not quite as life-like as Nikita, but well worth a look.

Usually, the first tweak I do is change the "Lighting Model" attribute for each of the skin surfaces from the default "plastic" to "skin". The improvement is fairly dramatic, even with just the default light. (The Lighting Model is way down at the bottom of the Advanced tab in the Surfaces palette.)
