I'm looking for a new highly detailed M3 texture, so I wanted to get your input on which one you liked best?

Thanks for your input,

Jose by Shahara. I like him because the texture is so incredibly realistic. Incredible! It also works well on the Freak.

Tiff785's M3 and M2 Bishounen (because I do mostly those).

For a hairy hairy guy there is King by 3Dream he's fantastic!

For realistic there is The boy next door by Dalinise

When it comes to pay-for textures, I own only one set, but absolutely adore it. It's Althon Gothic by geometrya (available at 3DC store and here at RMP). Freckled male textures are nor really popular, but this one looks surprisingly good. The only flaw is that body texture is rather blurry around the genital area, and the set does not include genital texture (as it's meant for Hiro who's been neutered by DAZ) but it's fairly cheap anyway and should look good on M3 as well :)

I also like Jose by Shahara I use this alot.

since you didn't say what type of texture (hair/no hair, age, race, realistic/imaginative), here are my current faves: adro by 3dream fintan by fenrissa jose by shahara mandingo by lluque shane by a_ zeb by quim2001 i suspect gothieboy and anu by samildanach are right out, heh. thanks, vilian, for the tip about althon gothic -- what gorgeous freckles!

Is it just my imaginationor does M3 have a serious deficiency in Free Skin textures? Of course, it hasn't been that long ago that my main figure was the Dork and he's got about 10 in my runtime, but that's Dork. :m_laugh:

Jose by Shahara, no question!

zulu9812: That render looked really cool, reminds me of a dwarf.

Thank you everybody for your input!

Nope. Very few out there.  I've managed to find some free morphs, mostly face, but some face and body ones too, but textures are rare.

I've been told that V3 textures can work on M3, but what good that is I have no idea.  Most V3 textures come complete with makeup and unless M3 is a transvestite, I don't think he would appreciate wearing a V3 face texture, and then there is the part of his male bits being left out.

that's 'cos it is a dwarf!

allready mentioned, but worth another post: Russel by Nouschka is great! I don't have much M3 textures...but after buying this one...I won't need much more :)

Iago, by SteffyZZ.

I'll be giving all of these a look at. Thanks for your input & help.

I have lots and lots of M3 textures. It depends on what kind of look you want as to what texture will work best for you. I create Bishie type characters so I tend to use textures that have smooth skin and little hair. I'm not above using a child texture on M3 either, but it will need to be retouched. My favorite textures for M3 Bishies are: 1) Daz: David. The best male overall male texture for M3 and D3, imho. Every detail from bumps to transmaps are of the highest quality. You can use David textures on M3 without needing to convert them. Peachy skintone. Soft Autumn. 2) Tiff: Sledmasters. This is the best very pale texture for M3, imho. A combination photo-realism and hand painting. Yellowy skintone. Deep Winter. 3) Thorne: Pook PanPan and Poppy. Textures will need to be converted to M3. A combination photo-realism and hand painting. PanPan is a Deep Autumn with a tan skintone, Poppy is a Deep Winter with rosy skintone. 4) Shahara: Jose. The best photo-realistic nonDaz texture you can get for M3. Very manly and natural with b ody hair. Skintone is rosy. Deep Winter. 5) Rene by L75. Rosy blush to cheeks and rosy lips are a nice touch you won't see on any other male texture. Skintone is pale and rosy. Deep Winter. Other good textures not already mentioned above are: Anything by DAZ. DAZ M3, DAZ Freak, DAZ Luke, DAZ Matt (may need to be UTCed) Morris Joshua and Hunter (nice photo-realistic textures) L75 Trey (nice photo-realistic texture) DKDW Elf and Human (nice textures and LOTRish) jlneveloff Sweet Braeden (I like his face and coloring) P.S. Unless I'm mistaken, SteffyZ has not done a M3 texture. Iago is M2. bB
