Suggestions for Recreating An Alien Horror Scene?

Adrean

I'm trying to recreat a horror scene like in the Alien movie where the xenomorphs were bursting out of human bodies. Then suddenly I realized there is no such a morph to creat a realistically looking open wound/slash/cut on both g8f and g8m. Can anyone make some suggestions as for how to circumvent this situation? Geometry editing? Transparency/material manipulation? Thanks!

A GeoGraft would seem sensible - though it would be a lot of work.

This is a job for Photoshop brushes from Deviney. The catch is knowing how to use them, knowing how to use Photoshop, and having the brushes you need.

lots of blood can obscure most of it 

there are some free splashes on ShareCG by Spacebones you can use a blood shader on

'Alien' freebies exist on Shinteo's Patreon site (7 alien creatures including a facehugger, an egg and Ellen & Amanda Ripley). Having some bits to move around a set may make it easier to  think of what you need and prod the inspiration. Maybe get Ant Farm's Gutz and make up your own opacity map for the stomach, exposing the Gutz. It's possible you could use MsFrankie's freebie 'Hole' from Rendo as a way of creating a stomach aperture to fill up with gore etc.

First, MeshGrabber (https://www.daz3d.com/mesh-grabber-win) to pull the flesh into position.
Second, Geometry Editor to cut 'holes'.
Third, Photoshop to smooth out the cuts and help with the blood splatter.

I never tried it myself but this is how I'd approach it.

There used to be a product in the Daz store called Chester McBusterson. It no longer exists, it seems.

Thanks guys. Guess geometry editor with transparency maps would work to some extent.
