Alternate Textures for Oso Newt

This product shows these textures applied to various characters, but it does not work for me. The only character that these textures work on for me is Oso Newt.

I would like to try this on Mr. Woo for Genesis 8 Male (on Genesis 8.1) as shown in the first product promo image attached.

But I'm not sure how to accomplish this (see the second image, where I applied the texture to Mr. Woo).

How do I apply the texture to Mr. Woo ("on Genesis 8.1") ??? This is what I don't understand because Mr. Woo is a Genesis 8 Male figure.

Do I need to do something special to get these textures to work on other characters besides the Newt?

You need to dial Mr. Woo in to an 8.1 figure, because 8.1 has a different UV set than 8. You can use 8 textures on 8.1, but not 8.1 on 8.

Thank you! Mission accomplished!

Exactly as @Gordig said! These will only work on Generation 8.1. Thanks for purchasing, @von Hobo!

I'm happy you like them! They actually did incredibly well, so we'll probably continue to do packs like this in the future :)!

I remember getting incredibly enthusiastic about your Bulwark and Sobek's alternate skins (and buying on day one your Drago and Gargoyle skins as a matter of course) so I was over the moon when I saw that you actively worked to facilitate using the newt textures on non-newt morphs and even provided a tail-less version. Really, thank you. You are outdoing yourself with every product.

I actually remember you mentioning that you wished Sobek's alternate skins had a patch where the tail was. So I made a mental note of that! So it's actually because of your comment that we decided to include the extra torso maps! Thank you for helping us improve our products! We'll try to include this flexibility for alternate textures going forward (though there is one product that DAZ bought from us a while back that doesn't include these extra textures. I wanted to mentioned it in case it one day hits the store). :)

Glad to hear my big mouth was useful for once! I will keep looking forward to your next creation, which will most likely end up in the cart or the wishlist as soon as it hits the store (like the rest of your catalog).

I am very happy that this product exists as the default materials for both amphibian G8M cannot be applied to other characts due to the tail.

However, the promos of Newt's skins are still not slippery and slimey enough for me. Maybe it's the promo's lighting and surface setting? I am looking for a translucent body (especially on extremities like fingers and toes) as well as a wet and slimey skin that is closer to a eel than a land dwelling amphbian/lizard. Option of bioluminence would be great.

Edit: the closest I've seen is the materisl for Oso ammonoids but never seen it on G8 https://www.daz3d.com/oso-ammonoids

Sorry for bumping an old thread.

But do I need Oso's Newt, in order to be able to use these textures?

No, you don't. But as Gordig stated above: "You need to dial Mr. Woo in to an 8.1 figure, because 8.1 has a different UV set than 8. You can use 8 textures on 8.1, but not 8.1 on 8."

If you are using a different figure that is G8 and not G8.1 then just substitute that figure in the above line.

If you are using G8.1 then it should work just fine.

No, each skin has two presets. One to use with Newt (or if you were to use Newt's tail) and another for humans (where basically the tail is patch in the torso map). So Newt is only required and the human version of the skins can be used on any character so long as they are dialed in the Genesis 8.1 Male Base (meaning that they need Genesis 8.1 UVs). So if you want to apply them to a Genesis 8 character, you'll need to load Genesis 8.1 then apply the Genesis 8 shape and then use the skins. :)

Apologies, I didn't see this post before today. You can always dial down the roughness and dial up the reflectivity and glossy dials to get a slimy look.
