"stain" mark on forhead of some characters

Zoolman

Hello, I've reinstalled Daz Studio and tried a basic render with "Leony" character. 

I have a stain like mark on the forehead of the character. I used to have this issue with other characters but never figured it out and just ended up using other assets.

Can someone point me to a reason? I'll attach a picture of the render.

 

Thank you.

That's often due to the skullcap of the hair intersecting with the forehead. Making the skullcap a bit larger usually fixes it.

Select the Hair in your scene tab, go to:

Parameters Pane -> Actor -> Adjusting

and find something along the lines of "Adjust Forehead Depth", "Adjust Forehead Height"... etc. either of these to around 5% and you should be fine :) If the stains appear on the side of the head, just look for a slider "Cheek right" or "Head right" or something like that.

Most hair models have these correction morphs.

The way I deal with this and  minor poke-through on clothes

Create a jpeg 50% grey

Use it as a displacement map on hair cap texture of the clothes texture for minor poke through.

Set minimum displacement at 0

Set maximum at .1 and work up till problem or poke through is gone

Usually about .2 or .3 does the trick
