It took me a while of digging to find all the surface settings you mentioned in this tutorial, but I found them (using 4.15 after MANY MANY years of not touching DAZ.) It is very much appreciated that you did this.

But after working fine for a while, suddenly for no reason it’s not working.
Character body only turns red.

The solution I found is to increase Mesh Offset distance to 0.003 (or higher)
Hope that helps others. I found no solution that worked for me on google.

THANKS> Just figured it out. I had Skin selected but did not have “All”at the very top of the Editor menu. Thanks for being so considerate and responding, and providing the link.

Last point, in case this is helpful: on another tutorial, the Surfaces tab is titled “Surfaces (Color)” – mine is just Surfaces.

Yup, I’ve done that, though I’m using V6 HD. Could that be an issue?

I did a screen shot of all of the parameters available under V6>Surfaces>Skin but no way to include one here. There are approx 60 parameters. I did a search, and have scrolled carefully through the entire list, but Glossy Layered Weight, Glossy Reflectivity, Glossy Roughness and Top Coat Layering appear nowhere.

Should I be looking at a different advanced palette?
It starts with:
Tags
Ambient Color
Ambient SSS Contribution
Ambient Strength
Bump Noise Strength
…. and ends with …
UV Set
Angle
SmoothOnline ID Color
Online Depth.

Thanks very much for your help.

Hmmm, do you have Victoria 6 selected? If so, there should be a Victoria 6 button in surfaces > editor? Open that up and click on skin.

Oh I just thought of another thing, V6 comes with 3Delight shaders, so we also need to convert the shaders to Iray. I have more on that here –
http://thinkdrawart.com/daz-studio-iray-tutorial-for-beginners#shader

There are also more complex vendor solutions for converting old skin to Iray skin, but the tut above is a starting point.

I realize this about a year and a half after you posted this, and I apologize if my question seems incredibly amateur, but I’m not an advanced user) but my question is:

In ‘2. Making the skin properly shiny’ you write:
“Glossy Layered Weight set to 1.0.
Glossy Reflectivity set to 0.9.
Glossy Roughness set to 0.4. This can be set lower if we want to increase the wet effect on skin. Setting it too low though, will make the skin look unrealistically shiny. Therefore, tweak it according to personal taste.
Top Coat Layering Mode set to Fresnel. Top Coat IOR set to 1.49 and Top Coat Thin Film IOR set to 1.4. Again, Top Coat Roughness can be adjusted according to taste. A lower Roughness value will increase shininess and a higher Roughness value will decrease shininess.”

But nowhere can I find any of these parameters within Surfaces>Editor. I’m using Victoria 6 on Daz3D 4.9, with Iray. Clearly I’m looking in the wrong place? Do you have any guidance?

thanks so much,
Howard
