i have this question for you

 In this picture you can see on left the original penis skin, and on the right

the skin zone, A and B

Zones B and C would use the same skin map but with different skin effects.

Ideas ?

Many thanks.

use the grouping tool in poser, it might NOT give the results you want

in which case will have to do it in a modeler

cant you just use masks (b&w maps) to drive different effects in  areas???

(too long since I used poser lol )

Thanks.

"cant you just use masks (b&w maps) to drive different effects in  areas???"

I'm not very good at working with masks, the skin nodes are very complex.

if someone wants to help me ....

I can learn

but i think i have to give him the skins and model.

grouping works well

I was able to assign the SAME material with different skin effects

Now the problem is the junction point indicated by the red arrow.

I think I need a mask to blend the wet area between one and the other.

The problem is how to apply it.

The skin material is complex because of the work done by Ezskin to coordinate the colors and "Gamma Correction"

Reflection value has been set to 1 for good see conjunction area

I need help.

Thanks

It's a bit complicated because the ks_microfacet drives both specularity as well as reflection value, so I don't know if I'm actually right, but...

...a specularity map (White =100% specularity, black =0%) plugged between the ks_microfacet node and the Alternate_Specular slot should do the trick.

If that doesn't work, you could create two separate ks_microfacet nodes: One driving reflection value via fresnel blend like before and another one driving specularity directly.

Then plug the specularity map into that ks_microfacet node.

I joined the lip material with the skin material on most of my figures to simplify shader creation.

The example shows how I use a custom made specularity map to add gloss to the lips but not to the rest of the skin.

You can do the same with any material group you want, using any type of specularity node you want.

I made a specularity map for one of my male characters.

I intentionally exaggerated the gloss and tinted it green so you can see the effect better:

The specularity map I made goes into a blinn node and that goes into the alternate_specular slot. The white fades into the black so there is a soft boarder between gloss and not gloss.
