Nice Work!! Watching now. You really need Fenrics "Change Bone Visibility" plugin. Hides the Skeleton and makes for a cleaner view.

Thanks, Misty,for the expanded videos and for so many of them! It was really good to look at the whole process again... and the last two were particularly helpful with converting clothes and hair in DS. Easy peasy!

One thing I do differently from you is that... as your base figures have no textures, I do not append them to my Carraractor until he or she is open and morphed in Carrara. Then I choose the compatible UV texture from Runtime/Texture. Often there are other options from perhaps a texture purchased here or from elsewhere. Or create my own skins and eyes.

I often create Normals with CrazyBump for my Carrara bumps and don't bother with displacement, etc. Once my skins/eyes shaders are customised in PS, applied in the shading tree, they are then saved to the Carrara Shaders library under a new folder called CARRACTORS, with each G3 character having a unique name and I also rename the textures as well so if I have more than one figure in the scene, they do not share shader names. Been there, done that mistake many times in the past. Nightmare!

Hope to make some renders soon... trying to get family off on their Easter holiday breaks... next week all is quiet here!

Thank you again for a job well done and for keeping up with all the questions and comments! Have a good Easter! Silene

seems like the majority of the character textures are using the base uvs.

Seen a few Michael 7s uvs textures out there. I only bought those cause it looked like Geralt

I think I mentioned that I have a G3 skin resource from Forbidden Whispers but haven't finished a set with it yet.

fw makes nice resources

there a few here at rmp also

this is link to the playlist, there are 7 videos to the tutorial.

janette and johnathon require the 2 files of Genesis 3 Starter Essentials be installed.

after you "purchase" daz studio, all the genesis starter essential files are available in your productlibrary downloads. inclufing genesis 8 female

the video tutorial shows how to add a daz library content folder to carrara. and how to delete.

cheers

tips for the dsf not found messages:

3 things to try troubleshooting:

• the content library is added to carrara, select the **parent **folder of the data folder.
• check genesis 3 starter essentials are installed, there are 2 zip files, male & female
• possibly files in the data folder may have been damaged, a fresh install may fix it. (i'm not sure dim will write over the files, if it doesnt seem to fix the issue, try manually reinstalling the zip files.

there are no data files with janette and johnathon presets. recommend dropping them in the same library where your essentials files were installed.

cheers
