Neutral Gray skin colour for Genesis 3

John Cox

Hi,

The original Genesis figure had a neutral gray material preset.

Genesis 2 and 3 do not have this.

I have applied the neutral gray material to some Genesis 2 figures successfully but not to any Genesis 3 figures.

Is there a simple way to have my Genesis 2 and 3 figures always load with the neutral gray material as the default skin colour?

There are lots of discussions on getting more and more realistic skin colours but I only want the plain gray for everything as I use DAZ for base figure sculpting 

in ZBrush and not for rendering at all. I have never needed to know anything about all of the skin shaders as I've never used them. I only want neutral gray.

Thanks for any solutions offered.

Select any single surface on gray genesis and then save that as a shader preset. When you save it be sure to uncheck the UV option. Then you can use that preset on any surface including genesis 3 surfaces. Just be sure you have both the object/model selected and the surfaces selected before you apply it.

Thank you both so much for your replies. I have downloaded the gray material from Deviant art and it works a treat. I've also done the surface option and that works a treat too! All in all I feel very fortunate to have two solutions that both work.

Thanks for your help.

I thank you, too! Like another  poster in the thread said, I like to (sometimes) take models into ZBrush, and a gray material is best. I may also use the DAZ people as models in my comics.
