I just bought and installed Bishonen and I'm now wondering about the face texture used in the DAZ product page. I find the MAT file for the body glove, and when I looked in the Texture directory for the files, I only find body glove textures, but my default face texture remains on the figure. I'm really disappointed, becuase it was that lovely face on the ad that I thought I was buying it for, more than the morphs. Anyone know what texture was used on the face? It's not mentioned in the DAZ product page. It would have been nice if the ad had stated that the face texture is not included. Melanie

I went through the same puzzle after I bought Bishonen. There are no skin textures included with him. He does, however, take all of Stephanie's textures. I've done well with both the Taylon textures and the Daz Stephanie textures. You can find Stephanie textures in "free stuf'. I did IM Tiff785 about the textures she used. Here is her reply.( I hope it is ok to post this). From Tiff785 To answer, your questions, I believe I used the face "Bishonen Evil 06" and "Bishonen Body 02" for Moonlight Miscreant. I also used "Bishonen Light 04". The texture I used was a combination of Visual Silence's Angelus and My Little Angel as well as Stormi's Rumor from 24U. What I did was this: I opened Angelus in PhotoShop and got rid of the wrinkles around his eyes. I then opened MLAngel and dragged it over as a new layer. I lowered the opacity of this layer to 50% and fixed any little oddities/flaws. Finally, I opened Rumor and dragged it over as a new layer and lowered the opacity to 50%. Same for the body. If you don't want to do this, Rumor (for Steph) looks fantastic on Mike. The only modifications it needs is on the nipples and eyelash transmap (easier to use a Mike transmap). Though, be sure to use the Rumor head with the least amount of makeup!

I've just used Bishop texture and the Brad texture on Bishonen, and IMO they both look good. I don't get the point in using a female texture oon him. He IS a guy not a gal, even if he is better looking than the usual Mike :o) The Digiman texture is also a good choice, very fair skinned. It is here in Free Stuff.

A lot of the Stephaie textures make Mike look younger, but still give a masculine feel. So long as you adjust for the highlights on the breast, Mike'll look fine. It helps in anime type projects because there are less facial shadows, and the textures convert more easily when you do a cartoon-like render/postwork. Combining two textures in Photoshop or other good 2D paint program is sort of fun. Some of my favorite faces are for smooth bodied characters. If I want that face on a more hairy character, I merge the two textures and get a pretty good effect. I love the body hair on Paco, but the face Victor. They merge with a little tweeking perfectly.

I used Syyd Raven's Adam Texture and it looked great!!

Thanks for all the tips. I haven't thought of trying Steph textures. I have Stephanie and many of her textures, so I'll give that a try. I have Paco saved as my default texture on Michael, because I use it the most, but I wanted a younger look for Bishonen. Thanks again for the help. Everyone here is so great! Melanie
