Well I don't even know really what I was going for here...just testing out some morphs and textures on a modified G9 figure. The background is a photoshopped stock image.

She looks great! Do you create your own textures?

My textures are a conglomeration of bought textures and my own elements. I'd say my usual texture is about 60% mix of purchased or licensed textures and about 40% my own material. I never just use an off-the-shelf texture. I've never found one that was perfect in my opinion. I constantly even tweak my own textures as I work. Thanks for compliment!

There are plenty of perfect textures, most of those vendors sell with Daz main website. Mouse is one that comes to mind, their textures are extremely good. I always get perfect renders with them. It really depends on who you get textures from.

Mousso is good but he replicates body/limbs textures. At times the only thing he changes is the face and morphs. So if you're buying for his textures you end up just basically buying a new face. That said he has some really good figure morphs. But that's what I meant by textures...every so often somebody puts out a brand new complete character and texture, but many vendors replicate and reuse. And at $20-30 a pop, it gets expensive for the user. So I find myself a good base texture usually and then make alterations myself in Photoshop. After a while though I end up with such an amalgamated texture that I don't know what part of it is from where. That's why I don't sell my textures - I don't have copyright on them and can't even determine who would have what on them. That's just me being disorganized I guess. Ha, ha. But people ask me all the time what texture I used in an image - and I know it's my texture named "XXXX.jpg" but I never use a texture set right off the shelf. The color or certain elements will also bug me to the point of altering them in Photoshop before use. I find a lot of textures are too red or too yellow most times or just plain over-saturated. This is a result of iRay settings more than the base texture. The creators will adjust the character's iRay settings rather than adjust the actual image (texture) - but if you don't use their specific skin/iRay settings, you'll get a render that has odd skin hues. So when I get a texture, I immediately apply it to my own figure with my own skin material settings and I adjust it from there to look right. By doing that I manage to make all textures look similar using my material iRay base. Vendors really do do things @ss backwards sometimes.
