I know you can use a program like photoshop or gimp to remove them and add your own

But I was talking to someone on Rendo, to see if they knew a way to do it (since they sell hand painted photoshop eyebrow brushes)

She said V4 has the thing for eyebrows, where you get add your own and even change the color of them

But she said the flaw to that was, when V4 head shape changed, that eyebrow section wouldn't work anymore

Is there a way to make the eyebrows easily exchangeable without painting them on every skin?

    If you're by chance using Genesis, take a look at my signature for a conversion process to use V4's brow prop on Genesis.

    As far as using the prop on extreme morphs (whether V4, M4, or Genesis), I've never given extreme beasts and creatures realistic human eyebrows anyways.

    Well, I would like a process that'll work for maybe more then Daz figures

    Because I do know the V4 brows where...I think they were UV mapped, correct?

    She does the seam guides, and I was showed a picture of the eyebrow prop with the seam guide attached to it

    Yes, the brows are UV mapped, so you'd need the texture w/ the brow on it, and a transmap to block out the surrounding area.

    As far as other figures, the only thing I can think of is by altering a face map for said figure if necessary (some come w/ browless faces already). If the figure doesn't have a brow prop like the Gen4 characters did, then you'd have to put the new brows on the browless face texture and save it as a new texture.

    There are ways of say multiplying textures with others in Poser using color math or blender nodes, and I can't speak to the quality/accuracy of the result as I've only messed with it a small handful of times, but I'm not sure if you can do that in DS.

    I know with the Genesis Eyebrow pack I bough ton the daz store, if the brows were white (I used the alpha map or whatever), you simply changed the diffuse color

    I liked that set-up, but I had an issue of trying to apply my own eyebrows to that package

    I don't have that package since I transferred V4's brow prop. I couldn't help with adding your own to the other product since I don't know if it works the same as V4's.

    In SnowSultan's V4 seam guides, there is a v4_1face4-1.gif that has the eyebrow overlay area.
