Basic G2M Gens MAT related

Hi guys, I (still) had problem with Basic G2M Genital MAT, what kind of product which has it? Michael 6 has it, Gianni 6 has it, even Ryze has it, but how come Basic G2M doesn't? Or is there any tips to "create" it? I prefer to use the Basic G2M because it's easier to render compare to others G2M characters.

Thank you for your answers & reply. I really appreciate it.

The base G2M doesn't include the genitals, so there's no map for them. How do you mean that the base maps are easier to render - less taxing on your system, or easier to light, or something else?

I see. So, DAZ doesn't create any genital MAT for Basic G2M. Due to limited VGA & PC ability, Basic G2F & G2M are easier to render. But is it possible to create our own G2M genital MAT?

Thnx

If you aren't using the HD morphs for the named characters then the difference is either the shader used or the size of the textures. You can resize the textures in an image editor, save them with sm added to the name, and swap them out with the Surfaces pane (then save a Materials preset from File >Save as so you don't have to do it again). Changing the shader will be a bit fiddlier, at least to get good results.

I think the base G2M is actually a version of the old Michael 5 skin. If you have michael 5, you can use that skin instead of G2M and it comes with Gens maps.
