I'm trying to put together good ethnic variety in my library and to that effect I need some very good African characters, for both sexes.

I need something I can use in Daz Studio as my Poser is limited to Poser 7 Windows, and I'm mostly a Mac person now (I went PC for about 6 years last decade, and that happens to be when Poser 7 came out, and for once they required me to choose which platform). It'll be a little bit till I can upgrade Poser and get it again in Mac.

So...

For both male and female I need something with fairly dark and even skin. I really liked Adanna by Tempesta3d but she's for the Poser only figure. But that or darker is about the skin tone I'm seeking. Also no major skin blemishes. I'm not sure why, but I notice in a lot of African characters there's often a 'scar' or welt of some kind on the face or hands.

I also need it not to have baked on hair (no baked on pubic or armpits for either gender - if it exists, not baked on eyebrows either), or at least an option that is not baked in, so that I can work with it in a variety of ways.

I need the texture more than the character morph, but ideally both - I have some good character morphs and even a set that is specifically for African features.

Also at least one option in the mat files that is no makeup, no tattoos.

For the male, no baked in 'super muscles', unless its an option in addition to normal. :)

(and I can live with light body hair baked onto the male, since I've never seen the ability to add that seperately).

 

 

Doesn't matter to me if its sold here or somewhere else or if its a freebie (but obviously it has to be legal). Though I've not found African characters on Daz3d that had textures I liked, and none at all on Runtime, so I'm kind of assuming I'll find it here.

I have searched Marketplace - and I do see a number that look interesting to me. BUT what I don't know for some of them is if the public hair has been painted on...

Thank you. I was unsure where to post exactly since I'm seeking 'advice / suggestion' from people on what I should get... Kind of a "WTB some reviews folks." :)
