All the Daz Original Genesis 8 Male figures come with genital mats, but not Underbelly.
What's up with that?

nothing is up
He's got nothing under-his-belly?
Shame, no sale for me then. It's easier for the female G8 with 3rd party gens, but a royal pain with the male 3rd party gens.
Are we sure he's over 18?
I can confirm no gens. Hopefully he will get an expansion with all the much needed items, like no tats, gens and all the things he didn't get in round 1.
ROFL I just about choked on my coffee!
There's always the Torso UV for the Gens (free on another site), plus a product that uses a shell to apply color to the gens.
It's something that isn't that hard to get around, although one would have hoped that he came "intact".
Well, at least he seems to have nipple textures unlike some teen figures one might buy... ^^
I'm on the fence. It's easily one of the best Genesis males but I do prefer my guys more or less fully equipped.
Has anyone tried rendering with HD morphs disabled? Are detailed normal maps included?
I’m kind of surprised by how many people demand characters come with mats for the Daz gens. I spent very little time messing with those before I went third-party.
Took too long to decide whether he wanted to be a show-er or a grow-er so God forgot about him and went on to the next guy.
Embarrased by his lack equipment he went on to overcompensate in other areas.
Not everyone likes the third party male gens. To me they look awkward and texture wise they can be problematic I'd rather that male figures be intact.
The original character he was converted from most probably didn't have genital maps.
No need just wear clothes
!
RawArt human characters never have gen mats. (Edit: Totally wrong.)
His Cromwell release today lists them. Whether he's fully human is debatable though, I suppose.
80% of my renders include some sort of nudity, so that really isn't an option
I rarely purchase from RawArt, but didn't know that, thanks for the HU.
Maybe any G8 mats could match, just adjust the Translucency Color
I can't help but think of another breast related word when I read "underbelly"...
Guess he wears lots of crop tops...
They don't. I spent a few hours and made some along with new arms/hands without the tats. I can't release them as freebies because they incorporate small bits of his original textures for blending/matching purposes as well as a slightly modified torso texture to accept the gens seamlessly.
Well seeing as you've PA status, perhaps sell it as a new product for the folks who want it?
I "think" at least one 3rd party male anatomical elements st has an addon to use the original - DAZ - textures instead of building something out of the torso textures. So even 3rd party stuff users might want the figure to have the textures...
Actually, most of his fully human characters have gen mats. There were some early ones he did for Genesis before M5 was released that didn't have them. Those and the David 5 bundle taught me to double check all characters before I buy them.
@Phoenix1966
And replace the whole skin by Vladimir 8 ?
Excuse me??
Most of my character have mats for gens!
Unless there is some aspect of the design that will not allow them to match properly I always make sure I do have them.
I was going to say.... I know rawArt includes gen mats. I know cause I use them. Monsters shouldn't be Barbie.
Can't for the same reason Pheonix can't distribute it as a freebie-- it includes part of the original.
Not all Daz O's do. All adult male 8 figures do. This is a Daz O, but not an 8-line figure.
just because you are a PA doesn't mean you can edit and include bits from other PAs work in a seperate product. I also doubt DAZ would go for a product that is just gens textures
@RawArt
Sorry I didn't know it was already included in the H. Mat. preset. For the majority of the characters it's a seperate mat preset.
Thank you for your help !
Nope...HMats have been DAZ's preferred way of handling them for a long time.
