Freckles on Brienn Fi

Mari-Anne

I bought Fabiana's Brienn Fi some time ago, but I use Daz Studio (4.6 Pro) rather than Poser. I know Fabiana specifically states the character is not designed for D|S but rather for Poser, however, she looks very nice in Daz Studio. I cannot get the freckles to show up, however. Has anyone successfully produced the freckles on this character in Daz Studio and can share the steps necessary?

It all depends on how familiar you are with the shader room. Fabi uses the spot node to get her freckles, as a matter of fact, she does some incredible work in the material room, but not all can be translated to Daz (at least as far as my knowledge goes.) I have had better luck using an image map similar to what one would use for sparkles.

I found I still had to go into the shader room though as I needed to subtract rather than add for the freckles. When you start adding the makeup, that definitely would need to be worked on in the shader room also.

Bea and I have converted a few of her characters, but unfortunately Brienn Fi was not one of them.

If you'ld like to pm me, maybe I can help you out.

Fabi is using the spot node to create the freckles:

DS Shader Mixer does have a spots brick and a noise brick - here it is used as a displacement:

Wow! Thank you both for your answers. Sounds a bit above my head but I'll put both answers on the back burner for now.
