Wet Body Gen 5 seam issues - SOLVED

I recently purchased SimonWM's Wet Body for Gen 5, and it looks very good - except for one thing. there is a gap in the water drops at the joint where the left shoulder and left arm meet, like the UN map doesn't fit right. There is a strip of skin that remains untextured by the water effect. (Meant to post an image, but forgot to upload it, will update when I get home.) This strip appears to encircle the shoulder/arm joint. Has anyone else had this issue? I am using Genesis with various V4 skin maps and the default Genesis female map applied, and the result is the same.

If anyone could help me figure out what I'm missing, I would be ever so grateful! :)

    If it's wet maps for V5 then it will work only with maps that use the V5 mapping, not with V4 maps.

    Ah, I see now - I failed to read the product description in full. I thought the V5/M5 version was for Genesis. Thanks for the clarification. Off to make an exchange...

    Edit: I have submitted a Help Desk ticket for an exchange - the product works great other than being on the wrong figure. ;) All I need is the right one.

    Greetings,
    Fair warning, I had the Wet Body product and there was significant streaking/tearing/stretching under the arm when the arm was lifted up over the head. It was bad enough that I gave up on the render I was doing (trying to match a photo) and held off on getting the Wet Body Gen5 for a long time, until just recently. I haven't had a chance to go back and test if the WBG5 fixes it, but I have to before the 30 days are up.

    Hopefully it works well for you.

    It will, unavoidable, have the same issues with stretching the freckles or other fine details on the texture have - the only fixes would be special UVs or special maps for raised arms, or maybe some clever work adjusting the s and t values in Shader Mixer (which would be a custom shader and therefore not fully compatible with skins using other shaders)

    Don't have this product so don't know if this would work. Create a geometry shell and apply to that as a geometry shell can have different UV set from the its figure.
