character layered body/face hair option for "non-fibermesh"

Ellessarr

ok, probably peoples will come and say "no" we don't care fibermesh is awesome and don't waste your time and bla bla bla, but i really want to ask for that:

 

currently with the new systems and dforce cloths and fibermesh system, is become more complicated for peoples like me which must be a "small minority" and "don't matter" group but with the current increase of "use fibermesh and in future i can see it become "mandatory and all characters will have it, but for peoples with not strong machines or peoples which want use daz for games or videos, that things are too much "resource hoger" specially using outside daz like in unreal (even for make cinematics), this can make daz less and less desirable to use for game develop, at last it's characters.

 

I would love to future characters come with a "option" where the PA or DAZ, instead of use only fibermesh and leave a "empty base texture", a option for a LIE eyebrow and even maybe small beards, mustaches, like victoria 8, she come with 3 options, a meseh with a painted eyebrow, a mesh full clean and a "LIE eyebrow (layered) which you can use to add to any other DAZ G8 character, that would be really good if at last instead of the 3 options at last we have 2, the base texture come without the eyebrow and face hairy then a "layered option to add both eyebrows and face haris without need a "fibermesh then for peoples which love fibermesh and have the "strong machines" they can have they fibermesh and for peoples like me we can have our characters to work on ours games or cinematics with a much more "doable work.

 

I really don't understand why they don't stick with what they did with victoria 8, if they had followed that pattern to have a fibermesh and a non fibermesh  layered face hairs it could be really awesome, because it could help better customization not only for "fibermesh users but also for "non users(which can't use or just don't like it), i know it can means "more work" but i really don't believe which it could be "that much extra work"/time to not be viable.

 

Please remember while the majority probably don't care over it and will buy anything you still have a "small minority which still care and would love to also keep buying things otherwise i can see my self stop to buying things here as soons as i finally have bought all the products i need and don't want to buy new things because they become too troublesome for me to work.

 

For me is good to remember to keep "some balance" and try to keep giving peoples some "options" and not just go full change, for the sake of "change".

In the meantime, here are a couple products that can help you out--
Wow Brow https://www.daz3d.com/wow-brow - originally for G3, since G3 and G8 have the same UV, you can use it on there as well. Great little system for painted brows.

Skin Builder 8 for Genesis 8 Female - https://www.daz3d.com/skin-builder-8-for-genesis-8-females has both brows and anatomical hairs for G8F.

Jepe's Bodyhair Project 78 - https://www.daz3d.com/jepes-bodyhair-project-78 body hair for G8M by Jepe. It's geoshells, but you could use the masks to make your own LIE presets. He does great bodyhair work.

As for beard hair, I don't recall any here that are painted as opposed to fibermesh. But hopefully these can help do what you need :D

yeah i know and as we see they are "few now" and the problem is which with the new fibermesh, some PA will start to drop even more painted brow to use fibermesh without a proper "secondary option, leaving less and less options and that is wha i would like to have "some options" that is why would be good if the DAZ and PA works while shifting to "fibermesh" leave at last the layered old painted eyebrow it could help to keep the "customization option and don't need to have multiple of the same base skin because of painted or no painted, just have the blank base skin plus a fibermesh and a LIE option for peoples choose which ones they would like to use.
