With your chosen model loaded, open the Octane Settings window, and select the materials tab. Some 3d modeling packages have a native hair system that understands things like gravity/collisions and can be used to create a groom and then bake the groom into polygons and transparancy maps that could then be imported into DAZ Studio.

For best results try and use a model that has a diffuse map that is photo-referenced, and not hand painted – Mei Lin 7, Olympia 7, Michael 7 and Michael 6 are good examples. Note that the available surfaces will be different for earlier generation models, but the same principles will apply – e.g.

Now import a model – I have used Genesis 3 model (Mei Lin 7) in this example but you can use any model you have.

If you open the render viewport the sphere will be rendered, but will be quite dark and not look very much like skin at the moment. You should find a simple scene with a Sphere primitive.

Ive been editing skin mats for 4 years now I know I shouldnt have to ask how to create bump maps by now but Im a hands on learner and never popped. Simply gray scaling a skin creates all sorts of anatomically incorrect problems.

Unzip and open the SkinShader.duf file you just downloaded. pubic and facial hair, and nipples need to be inverted.The left icon is for the Main Octane Settings, the middle opens the render viewport.

Make sure the icon on the right is set to ‘Duf’ (click on it to cycle through the options) – this setting will make sure that all Octane settings and materials from the Duf file are loaded (Manual loads no Octane settings, Auto will try and build materials based on the settings within Daz).One of the first challenges Ive had is how to import a Daz3D model into Unreal. If the plugin is installed correctly, you should have the following icons in your toolbar And Ive mentioned before, Im also using Daz3D to create characters.
