I am a long time Poser user and new to Daz. I don't really understand the shader system. Is there an easy way to make skin look wet or sweaty in Iray? Glossy or reflectivity doesn't seem to do it.

That was supposed to be "Wet or Sweaty Skin". Can't find a way to edit the post.

I have sweaty skin overlay I found somewhere, that will work as a bump map, but I can't find a way to give the skin that shiny or glossy wet look. I've tried playing with the glossy and glossy reflectivity settings, but doesn't work.

Try increasing the topcoat and reducing the the glossiness. Cheers

They have a product or two over at DAZ that does that so it is possible. I can't link to them here, but you can take a look over there to see what is possible.
