The red glow (actually I'd prefer orange) of Holm HD for Genesis 8.1 Male [ https://www.daz3d.com/holm-hd-for-genesis-81-male ] is EXACTLY what I've been wanting for G8F & G3F! Any chance of that happening?
Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top

I would assume it's texture related, have you tried transferring materials/settings to see if you can get the effect working?
I have no idea but if someone talks me through it, I can give it a try. Basically the character has an internal glow in various parts of the body. I need that for my G8F & G3F characters.
I don't have that product, but I would try saving it as a material preset and then applying that to GF8 just as a proof of concept (UVs won't line up). If the effect shows, then it is texture/material/shader related and with one of the gender swap products you could probably get it working
Maybe this would help? https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-uv-swap-male-and-female-base
I love Holm, btw. Lots of character.
Probably not. G8 and G8.1 don't have the same UV's and the product doesn't indicate that it has been updated for G8.1. Be nice if I was wrong, though.
What UV does Holm use? It doesn't say on the Product Description. If it is the original Base G8M UV, the UV Swap product will work. OP would just need to apply it to G8F, by copypasting the surfaces from G8M to G8F.
If he uses the G8.1M UV that would require the textures to be changed to G8M or G8F UVs with Map Transfer, but also edited with a photo editor because of the head/torso materials. It is a lot more work.
According to his file list, he has Face, Head, and Body textures, and not Head and Torso, so he uses G8.1M UV
I was really torn when I saw Holm. At first I was seriously tempted just by the normal map detail then the uncanny feeling that I'd 'met' him before struck me: he looks like a character from Fallout NV. The oversized eyes (easily fixable) and bland human skin... which is unfortunate because, again, the normal map detail looks fantastic. Sadly I'm still using G8 UVs because I've yet to find a G8.1 UV male character whose skin really inspired me.
