Continuing in the original TGX tailored flavour, we bring to you a dedicated shader suite customized to work with any character based on Genesis 2 Males (Michael 6, Lee 6, Gianni 6 etc.)

After almost one year, we wanted to tweak our original concept of achieving a photorealistic human skin shader for DAZ3D figures - and today we're proud to say, that our months of research and labor finally distilled into one powerful, yet hyperrealistic human skin shader.
Not only were we able to increase texture detail preservation and specular as well as bump shading, but we also managed to reduce rendering times by 30 - 40 % in comparison to the original TGX shaders.

The shader contains full support for the Poser 2.21 and DAZ Studio plug-in 2.1 pre-release 5
There are 30 materials in total (genitalia supported as well)

You can check out our web-page and previous shader works at our official homepage: http://redspec-sss.com/ and also on our deviantArt group page http://redspecsss.deviantart.com/
If we got you interested we'd like to invite you to join our deviantArt group, discuss our products in our official forums and see how much more creative you can get, when our shader is taking care of the realism.

A bundle with the Genesis 2 Female shaders is available as well.

Thanks for your time

I'm really pleased about this release as I use a lot of male characters in my work. As soon as we have an animation stable release of the plugin I'll buy the male/female bundle.

Glad that you like it

I dont know if it has been mentioned but the lips part of the shader loads with the limbs sss map. Easy enough to replace but don't know if anyone else has seen it. Also are the maps somehow universal. I figured they were based off the genesis 2 male uv but I used it on the Gianni texture and didn't really notice anything out of place.

They've not based on the Genesis 2 Male UV but on the Genesis UV which is more universal to use.
Hence it will look great on Gianni

PS: Not entirely sure what is causing the limbs sss map to load on the lips for you, but I've just tested it with Gianni 6 and it doesn't load the limbs but the face sss map - as it is supposed to. Did you change anything to the node structure after loading the shaders, maybe?

Ah ok that makes sense. And nope I just load the file and it shows up like that. I'm really enjoying these shaders though.
