One of my projects I am busy with is called Vascularity. Basically you will be able to add veins to any displacement/bump map, as well as an underlying vein colour for the skin texture on any V4/M4 set. It is designed to use Daz layered image editor. It will also come with Psd files so you can create your own. They are transparent files so all that is visible are the veins, so intergrating it onto your favourite texture set is easy. It will be for V4 and M4 UV's for now. Most of these current sets that include displacement maps with veins are not 100% accurate. They are just there to add detail. I have mapped the entire human vein system of both male and female on a model in zbrush and will translate that into seperate transparent layers for colour and displacement, which you overlay on your favourite texture sets either in Daz via layered image editor or 2D apps such as photoshop. You can just load the displacement or the colour overlay or both. You will get results like the attached pics below (just a photo example for now), where you see a little displacement and the vein colour. Oh..It will also come with a few body morphs (genesis only) for Extra details in the hand and feet and other parts. I did not make those details for gen4 figures because there are already products available for it. For poser uses, they will have to use transparency masks since poser cannot preserve transparency in image files. Stay Tuned:)
