Attached Link: EZSkin 1.7.0

v1.7.0 has been uploaded

It now includes an option to override the bump value used by EZSkin with one of your own choosing. Useful for those occasional cases when EZSkin produces an exaggerated bump.

My thanks as well. I'll try to figure this out and hope to use it often.

You can use this with Poser 7. Only Poser 9/2012 Pro. Just makin sure ya know ;).

Ah...ok, Laurie...my thanks. One of these days I'll win a lottery and upgrade.

The only equivalent, which is actually what EZSkin is based on, is Bagginsbill's VSSProp 3 or 4. Those contain templates which do not rely on SSS and need to be applied differently the Snarly's script.

early morning question, can you use any skin from your mats library and apply easy skin to it?, i've read the pdf which has a great working description and how the various parameters affect renders, any chance of a dummies guide to ez skin?

Yes, you can. EZSkin will analyse the skin shader that you have chosen and use the bits it needs from it.

As far the dummy's guide, I think the best thing to do is to post questions here in the forum. That way you're bound to get lots of help because there are lots of EZSkin users here, and I try to watch out for questions too.

On the other hand, if anyone did want to make a dummy's guide I'd be only too happy to see one made! Just don't have the time to make one myself.

You can generally ignore the ezskin.xml file altogether - it's there as an example for those brave souls who want to add support for new figures to EZSkin. EZSkin already supports most figures though.

No, the figure_mats.py script is there to help people who want to edit the XML file. You don't really need that one either. The only thing you need is the EZSkin script itself. It already knows how to add SSS to V4, in all her incarnations.

Free stuff @ https://poser.cobrablade.net/

I have no idea what an eejit is but:

If you change the figures xml then yes it is going to affect how the script is run on the figure (and if not done right will make it not work). V4 should already be included with EZSkin. If you have a figure that's not supported (ie, doesn't have an xml file) then when you try to run the script a window will pop up and say that it's an unsupported figure.

You can of course create your own xml for the figure you want. The easiest way is just to copy one of those that are included, paste it and then change all the material zones to those of the figure you want and assign the skin type.

ok so let me see if i've got this right now, lets assume i DONT want to tinker with the xml for now, i select my eg v4wm figure and apply a mat to it for example the wm sss shader, i open the python, choose the additional options if i choose to and hit calculate and voila?

To save you the aggravation, there is already an EZShader XML thread listing many character scripts. A simple cut and paste for your fave will get you on your way.

another question plz, any tips for render settings, i'm noticing using ezskin even on preview settings is increasing the time of rendering by average 800%....

The primary reason for increased rendering times is the use of fresnel reflection on the ski. Disabling this will save a lot of time. If you don't want to disable it, consider reducing the reflection quality to save some time.

Eye reflections can also be time-consuming - using the original texture's eye reflection maps (if it has them) will save rendering time.

Of course all these time saving techniques will compromise the quality of the end result, but often the reduction in quality is minimal and the time savings considerable.

Free stuff @ https://poser.cobrablade.net/

Is the increased time apparent around the eyes? Transparencies and reflections, will indeed increase render time. But 800%?

thanks snarly

I definitely think the render time is skin and eye related HBorre, I am going to run 2 renders of the same scene, one with my current settings and one with Snarlys' tips and see how the two compare in time and quality......

Wow, apparently you've never used Luxrender. Skin in Lux is an all-nighter (and most likely all day too) ;).

I have noticed somewhat longer render times in Poser with the SSS, but they're still a lot faster than other render engines by far...

Laurie

i've just redownloaded lux for poser, maybe i'll have more luck than i did on my stoneage system lol, i'm desperate to try all the new things available, but maybe i need a lottery win for the supersystem upgrade lol

Hi guys, I'm still finding my feet again after a long time away from Poser and having found this tool I absolutely love it. So first of all Snarlygribbly, many many thanks sir :o)

Secondly, is there a way to tone down the skin imperfections that become most apparent on SSS setting above 1. By that I mean the spots and blotches etc

I have tried turning SSS down but then that negatively affects the quality of the render.

I've looked in the material room for some sort of map I can remove/edit/lower settings on but not really sure which is the relevant one LOL.

Thanks

Marv

It might be an imperfect texture map to begin, or light/render settings might not be optimal. Some screencaps of both light and render settings will help and one for the problem. Perhaps creating a new thread will keep this one clear for update development.

Will do.
