Gore FX - Wounds and Blood for Genesis 9 and Genesis 8

26 stackable horror SFX wound and blood layers + 13 one-click looks for the face and neck of Genesis 9, Genesis 8 / 8.1 Female and Genesis 8 / 8.1 Male (Iray)
orror special-effects makeup for the face and neck: a slit throat, a zombie bite, a stab wound, strangulation and rope marks, bullet holes, gashes and slashes, claw marks, torn skin, burns, stitches and staples, a black eye, a broken nose, zombie decay and scabs - and the blood that goes with them: runs from every wound traced down the real face and neck, splatter, arterial spray, smears, a bloody hand drag, mouth blood and blood tears.

Every effect is its own paint layer ON TOP of your character's skin - the skin, maps and shader are never changed. Stack as many layers as you like, remove them one by one, or start from one of 13 one-click looks.

Wounds with depth: dark recessed interiors, raw wet tissue, swollen raised edges and bruised halos in colour, normal and wet-gloss maps. The blood is an Iray overlay with thickness shading, so one click switches it between Fresh (wet, bright), Drying (tacky), Dry (dark, matte) and Coagulated (thick, dark, glossy) - for every layer or only the ones you select.

Designed on the face and neck in 3D and baked into each figure's own UV layout - Genesis 9, Genesis 8 Female, Genesis 8.1 Female, Genesis 8 Male and Genesis 8.1 Male - so every wound lands on the same features of every figure.

HOW TO USE
1. Select your character.
2. 01 Looks: double-click a one-click look (a look replaces all Gore FX layers of that character).
3. 02 Wounds, 03 Skin Damage, 04 Blood: double-click single layers - they stack.
4. 05 Blood State: Fresh, Drying, Dry or Coagulated - for every layer, or only the layers you selected in the Scene pane.
5. 06 Remove: Remove Everything, Remove Selected Layers, or single layers by name.

TIPS
- A soft key light from the front-side shows the depth of the wounds best; fresh blood sparkles with a light near the camera.
- Each layer has its own material ('Gore - …' in the Scene pane): lower Cutout Opacity for a fainter bruise, or change the Diffuse Overlay Color for a different blood colour.
- Long hair covers neck wounds - a ponytail or updo shows them best.
- Combine with our Halloween FX Makeup - both are paint layers and stack.

NOT INCLUDED
- The characters, hair and clothing shown in the promo images.
