Real Skin for GreyAlien requires which Alien?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

This product: https://www.daz3d.com/real-skin-for-greyalien lists https://www.daz3d.com/grey-alien-genesis as the pre-requisite, but then in the product description it says that the required product is not sold at Daz. "Please note: requires Grey Alien (not sold on DAZ 3D.)"

Can someone tell me if in fact it is the Genesis Alien or something else which is required to use these MATs?

    The description appears to be wrong as the link under required items does link to the Alien which is, indeed, sold at Daz. The wording has been reported. Thank you.

    Thanks, looks like they update it!

    pmd would suggest it is Poser only

  • FrankTheTankFrankTheTank Posts: 1,224

    Hmm, well that sucks if true. I don't use Poser. I really only want it for the shape. Its got the traditional "grey alien" look that I want.

    not the alien that's genesis but the skin says pmd

    The character morph for the "Real Skin for GreyAlien" add-on will not work in DS as DS can't use pmd injection.

    As for the skins, the materials are mc6 which means poser materials. They won't give you the same result in DS as Poser material system is very different, and you would need to load some of the maps manually (like displacement maps) and probably adjust a lot of settings.

    I had a look and the skin uses texture maps that you can use with Iray. Also there is a .duf file for both the morph and the materials.

    As long as I can make this shape below I'll be happy. Can you tell me if its a slider morph and is it for the head and body combined, or are there separate morphs for head and body?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I had it I was looking at the store where I got that information.

    I don't see any DUF mentioned for Real Skin, and the readme file for Real Skin does not exist. Where did you see mention of of a duf file for the morph?

  • FishtalesFishtales Posts: 6,162

    The DUF files come with the Alien the skin is just textures.

    This is from the store page for the Alien.

    Yes, but that only gives the basic shape. The Real Skin shape is what I want. As Wendy said, per its description it says:

    "Worry no more! Real Skin for Grey Alien is a PMD Injection to add a new over all body shape to the grey to look a little more "classic" grey alien..."

    That is the shape I want. I was only going to by the Grey Alien for Genesis if I can get the Real Skin shape injection/morph to work in Daz. If I can't use the Real Skin shape then I'm not going to buy either one.

    I don't own it either only going by what is printed 

    maybe put in a ticket to the support Zendesk asking for more information 

  • FrankTheTankFrankTheTank Posts: 1,224

    Yeah, I'll have to do that. I was hoping that someone that owned it would see the thread and chime in.
