This one http://www.daz3d.com/wet-body-gen-5 ? If so it comes with the needed overlays you Apply to your Figures Surfaces in the Surfaces Tab using the Drop down Diffuse Channel pick LIE. You then add the proper overlay as a new layer. I've not used it but I have used the Wounds pack and it works very much the same way.

That is the product. I don't mean to be dense, but I've never used anything like this. So, in the surfaces tab I see the part I want to apply (the head) and I see a list (general, diffuse, opacity, etc). I don't know what "LIE" means. I also don't know how to add the overlay as a new layer.

I'll give a semi walk through for you.....
1. In the Surfaces tab Pick a texture and the little Square of the Image in Diffuse then LIE.
2. Zoom out until you see the full texture in the LIE and then click the +
3. Add a new layer, Select the New layer then BROWSE to the one you want to overlay.

Tada, now do this till done with all sections. Is not fun or easy but works. Do Test renders as you go only a full 3Delight render will show the full effects.

OPPS Image 2 and 3 are reversed. So please note that.

Actually, all of the options in that product are presets that activate LIE themselves. You don't have to go into the surfaces channels simply to use them; that's taken care of for you. Unfortunately, I'm not at the computer that has that product and won't be for a while, but the only reason I've had to touch LIE itself for those products is when I've tried to use them on something with the wrong UV set, or when I just wanted to take a look to see what it was really doing. Otherwise, you don't have to work with LIE yourself.

This is correct

If you're using Smart Content make sure you have Genesis selected and then look under Smart Content->Materials->Feminine/Masculine->Wet Body Gen 5.

In Content Library it's Daz Studio Formats->Your Daz Library->People->Materials->Layered Images->Wet Body Gen 5.

Even using the presets it can be a bit confusing so you should also check out the readme file which walks you through the process. It's in YourDazLibrary->ReadMe's->16119_wet-body-gen-5-help.pdf

As a tip if you ever get a product that you're having problems using check that ReadMe's directory and see if there's a documentation file for it. Often there isn't but for many of the more complicated tools I've found that there usually is.

Thanks for the Help folks, I only had the Promos to go by. I was not sure they were auto or not. Not all I have are.

Thanks for your support, the product should come with an illustrated multipage PDF Help Document that explains in detail how to use it.
