This was an issue coming from the way the Daz Connect Package was created. It should be solved now.

Hi V3Digitimes, I just got the Fantasy Skins product (great stuff btw, I'd highly recommend to anyone on the fence about buying it) and I was trying to tinker with a way to make silver bodypaint.  Something similar to https://www.daz3d.com/silver-textures-for-v4. There isn't a white or grey SSS Preset, and the Flakes Effects just kind of give it a white sheen.  I tried putting a desaturated base map on but it it didn't really work right.  Can you recommend a good way to go about this?

Thank you Banpei :)

I would try to do that by using white flakes (or greyish) on one of the black skin preset, then play with the intensity of flakes to see how it goes. I would then add some top coat, trying different color and different presets until it fits my needs.

I would have gladely given it a try but i'm currently struggling with my machine who dropped both of my GPUs so until i fix everything, i can't render for the life of me :/

When i fix it, i will give it a try if you haven't found yourself :)
