FaceGen for Genesis 9 — Report
Genesis 9 Compatibility
: Specifically tuned for the new G9 mesh and rigging.
- Do not use the FaceGen specular map directly. Genesis 9 uses a Glossiness/Roughness workflow. Convert the FaceGen specular map into a Roughness map (Invert it in Photoshop: white becomes matte, black becomes shiny).
- Use the FaceGen Diffuse map as the Base Color.
- Add a Normal Map generated from the FaceGen Bump map. (Use free tools like AwesomeBump or ShaderMap).
- For the eyes, Genesis 9 uses separate surfaces (EyeSclera, EyeCornea). FaceGen does not provide eye textures; you must use generic Genesis 9 eye textures or paint them manually.
- FaceGen (Singular/Artist): A procedural modeling software that creates 3D heads from photos or random sliders. It outputs a specific topology optimized for faces.
- Daz Studio (Genesis 9): A character generation platform. Genesis 9 represents a significant architectural shift from previous generations (Genesis 8/3) by utilizing a single unified mesh for male and female characters.
Genesis 9 is the first "unisex" base from Daz 3D, featuring a unified topology that makes FaceGen more versatile than ever. Whether you are aiming for a stylized look or photorealistic precision, understanding how to harness FaceGen for this specific generation is key to streamlining your workflow.
