Saving LIE Presets

ebergerly

How do you save an LIE preset? For example, if you've added a skin tattoo layer to a couple of channels in your skin shader (like Base and Translucency), and you've placed the tattoo layer in the right spot, and want to save JUST the tattoo settings as a preset so you can use it with other characters with different skins, and apply the layer to both channels, what's the magic formula?

Thanks.

There are two options. First, you can use a plugin to bake the textures

• https://www.daz3d.com/lie-baker
• also includes LIE-Baking: https://www.daz3d.com/scene-optimizer

Or, you'll go to your DS TEMP folder, and find the combined map that DS creates from the LIE settings, and copy that to a different location (probably rename it, too). You can then manually replace the LIE map with this map, and save the entire thing as a material preset, for example.
