Cutout Opacity mask for Genesis 9 male gens?

Has anyone created or know a source for a Cutout Opacity mask for the Genesis 9 male gens?

All previous versions of DAZ characters have opacity masks but not G9.  I'd rather not spend hours custom painting an opacity mask if one already exists.

    Because material on Gen of G9 is with PBRSkin shader in which there's no Cutout Opacity slot on the Surface. PBRSkin shader is 'mixed' for human skin specifically so the layers / slots are different from Iray Uber Shader.. The only way might be that you apply Iray Uber Shader on all the surfaces and tweak the params...

    What do you need a cutout oppacity mask for? The gens is a geograf.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I only use 3Delight and Iray materials for all figures.  All G9 materials are converted to Iray for rendering.  The Cutout Opacity masks are used for "feathered" blending.  Also, I don't usually geograft gens, but float them into place with feathering and blending.  So many of the skin materials are delivered with unsightly seams and blending errors.  Almost every character I buy requires extensive re-work of the material files.

    Personally, I find PBR top-heavy, problematic and resource-intensive.  In other words, not worth the trouble for my non-animation still renders.
