Questions About Boris HD for Genesis 2 Males
inquire
Posts: 2,249
I'm asking these questions because I'm considering buying the product. I'm not complaining.
In describing the product, it says "textures not included" under "characters preset." Later over on the far right, it says "textures include: 3 bump, Displacement and Transparency Maps." So, are the skin textures shown in the illustrations of the character not included? If so, what skin textures are those? The product page does not make mention of other products used.
I like the big, thick eyebrows used in the Boris HD illustrations, so if I bought the character, I would want to also buy those skin textures.
Also, in describing the product, it says "Fine details that don't rely on image maps and work across UV sets." So, does this mean that the HD Details Morph could be used with any Genesis 2 Male? Or, are there limitations?

You can use any skin on him, I do not know about the bump and displacement maps but presume can be added to any skin like aged, muscle ones etc possibly for those not wishing to use the HD morphs and get same look like Carrara users that HD does not work in, I have not checked them out.
I am guessing he was made in Zbrush with both options, the displacement maps exported from unsubdivided mesh to use the sculpts but do not take this as gospel as I honestly do not know, never seen the maps but will seek them out if they exist later today when on my computer.
Thank you very much for answering, wendy_catz. Yes, please do let me know what you find out when you look for the maps.
I understand that I may use any skin on him, but does he come with any skin textures? If not, do you know what skin textures are used in those promo images? Or, how can I find out what those skin textures are?
The maps it lists are for the boxers it comes with.
Ah that explains it, nevermind any of my explainations they were pure speculation having never seen any maps.
Morris makes some really nice hairy skins and Phoenix and Jepes
No, Boris does not come with any skin texture.
Moved to The Commons. Please remember that the DAZ PA Commercial Products forum is for the PAs to announce their products and interact with customers. If they have a commercial thread, you can ask questions in it. If you're starting one, for lack of such a thread, then you can start it in The Commons (as an example, depending on the nature of the questions). Thank you.
OK, thank you Cris Palomino. I didn't understand how to do that.
OK, but this still leaves me wondering what skin texture is used in the promo images for the product. https://www.daz3d.com/boris-hd-for-genesis-2-male-s
If I bought the product, I would want to use that skin texture, among others, because I think the big, bushy eyebrows go perfectly with the character preset. I don't think DAZ permits messages to the artists. Is there any way to get such information?
Oftentimes, there will be a note on the product page, saying "Other products used in the Images," or something like that, but, no, I can't find anything like this on the Boris HD page.

It looks like he used the M6 and Genesis 2 Male textures for the promos.
OK, I own the M6 pro bundle. The eyebrows on M6 still look too small for Boris, unless they are enlarged a bit by the Boris HD character preset. I don't know what you mean by the "Genesis 2 Male textures." Is there a product by that name?
It's just the base textures that come with Genesis 2 Male. They're based on the M5 character Phillip, but altered to the Base Male UVs for Genesis 2.
The easiest way is to ask the PA He has a thread about Boris here http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/38392/
and he does say in this post http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/38392/P15/#565364
I didn't realize there was a thread here. Thank you very much for the links.
