Hi Snarly,

It's cool that you added the option to change the material color in the skin tab, but it appears the option to check "use_material_color" is missing or at least I don't see it. If you want to use one of the built in skin tones you should have to check the use material box I think.

Also I think the % of SSS quality seem to have a large effect but can be modulated by using more scatter and less quality. I don't know which is better but I'll have to experiment.

 

Thanks for a fabulous tool and let me know what you think.

The skin tone tab does retain the original material map in use, it only modifies the individual node values on the new arrangement.  Actual skin color/tone is governed by the HSV control, color chip.  Everything else tweaks the settings.

I've just been talking about this, actually, in this thread (see the last few posts):

Have a look and let me know what you think? I'm happy to make changes to EZSkin if there 's a clear benefit to doing so and an agreed way forward.

Unless I've missed something (and as a Mod I can do things that regular members can't do) this falls onto the same list with the "ignore button."

The closest yopu can do to bookmarking a post is to bookmark the page on which the post resides and then say it is 1/4 of the way from the bottom or whatever.

Search for the post you want and then copy the link from the results page to the link box?

OK i missed that post. I also wouldn't use it that much, but since the option is in there, I thought there should at least be a choice.

 

BTW, I use an old skin shader in Poser 8 to create freckles, but if I use ezskin in Poser 9 it wipes out the freckles. Anyway around this?

It may need to be written as a special effect.

Great idea but I have to figure out how to do that. Can I copy the nodes and  then use them as a special effect?

Please ignore this post. I'm just testing something relating to linking specific posts.

zzxxww

It's a lot of messing around, but this seems to work.

Start with this template:

https://market.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=$&page=$#message_$

Open the relevant thread. Replace  the first '$' in the template with the first (id) number from the address bar of your browser.

Find the relevant post, and replace the second '$' in the template with the number of the page you are on.

Click the 'quote' button at the bottom of the post, then copy the last number from your address bar and replace the last '$' in the template with that number.

So for example, the template:
https://market.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=$&page=$#message_$

Becomes:
https://market.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2856202&page=1#message_3984554

The above is the URL for your post with the question.

Ah, that's a pretty good easy way to get the message id... thanks Les

Certainly quicker than doing a forum search, which was the only way I could think.

(Other option is do do an inspect element or equivalent in the browser and faff about looking for the name of the anchor tag - but that's maybe getting a little advanced!)

Oh, by the way, I think you can omit the &page argument from the url, by the looks of it.

So linking to your post above there would just be:

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2856202#message_3985235

Thanks guys, that works and will be very useful.

I've made a note of this so that I should be able to use your technique in future.

Well done!

I think that fails if the post is not on the first page. But I'm not certain, and will stand to be corrected.

No, you're right Les, it will fail actually, sorry... the #message_$ part is just an html anchor tag, so it needs a thread page number too, if the thread runs beyond a page...

...I should have twigged that when I posted the aside about looking up the anchor in inspect element... doh!

Thanks
