How To Correctly Setup DAZ/Poser Character Eye Textures And anyway to fix Clothes?

Thank you. :slight_smile: I only have a small number of characters on screen at once, and I do PC games only so I can afford to have less decimation going on. These particular characters are around 25k, plus the additional overhead for clothing. I’m using a 4096 atlas for diffusion, another one for specularity, and another one for translucency, all in a Marmoset Skyshop skin shader. I use Megafiers from @SpookyCat for morphing (close to 80 custom channels per character) and clothing wrapping (with the wrap system in Megafiers). Even with all of that and with SSAO Pro, camera DOF, bloom, and other effects on I can still get 60+ FPS even on older systems. Mobile I don’t mess with, so of course as you say it has to be a lot less render-heavy.

I very occasionally show screen shots here because I generally try to keep the games I make separate from my developer profiles. It helps in a lot of ways, especially when people in my game’s communities go Googling, they might find me in here complaining about them (haha!), or discussing how to do things in my games, and I just don’t want to deal with that so I don’t say what games I work on. I’ll be happy to show some other shots of specific areas of the models if you’re interested in anything like that, though.

Yup, that whole post answers what dullman was asking. That’s pretty much it in a nutshell.

@drewradley pretty much covered that.

I don’t know if they would work because I made my own, but I assume Real Eyes would do the trick. There are some other eye assets in there, too. Do a search and you’ll see.

I had the same problem. What I did was:
Make the EyeReflection material all transparent.
Set eye ball with the Eye material
Made my own texture for the Cornea material, like the one I have included here.

Hi, im trying to drive DAZ3D char into Unity 5, i have problem with EyeSlashes. How to setup, what shader, i tried a lot of options and the eyeslash.

** @Ony **, pls can you share your workflow ? I loved the Skin shader that you are using, can you describe? And the lips how did you do that ?!?!?!?!

To correct the EYE, i do the folling procedure, maybe this can help others:

  • Change the settings for Cornea Material and EyeReflection Material only, put the eye on both texture and set shader to standard, transparent and with tilling and offset values as below:

CORNEA MESH:

EyeReflection MESH:

There should be a material and texture called “lash” or something close. Make the texture transparent (alpha from greyscale and alpha is transparent is good enough usually) and make the material transparent ( and make sure that it is using the transparent texture). Then just make sure that you are actually using that material on the figure where the lash material is and it should be fine.

Thank you Drewradley ! Next step is make the Hair works like a cloth with Wind physics.

I will follow this tutorial with Marmoset Skybox shaders.

Thanks. :slight_smile: I’m using one of the Marmoset Skyshop skin shader on these models. The lips are custom Photoshop textures for diffuse, bump, and specularity.

I also use SSAO Pro, Amplify Color, SE Natural Bloom and Dirty Lens, and Cinema Themes, along with extra some color curves and what not. So that’s what you’re seeing in that shot. Glad you like it. :slight_smile:

Thanks Ony ! I think you like the work that guys from SALSA3D are doing with my suggestion to use DAZ3D characters. A new plugin for DAZ3D with full lipsync with audio is comming !

In marmoset im doing this:

Wow, fixed, i do what the @drewradley do ! Thanks man ! I used IrfanView tool, save as .png with transparent as alpha ! works !

For Genesis 3 model, I changed the Eye Moisture and the Eye Map to Standard (Specular Setup) and render to transparent and my eyes appear just fine.

I found what I think is the easiest solution: find the eye material and change the rendering mode to “cutout”. I used this for my player models and each time it worked.

I think you should use Fade for proper AA. Also, I think only G2F eye lashes work. I haven’t found a way to create a good G2M eye lashes material.

@Ony Could you share eye lashes material? It looks amazing. This is not standard, right?

Edit: @Ony Ok, nevermind. Thanks for your attention.
