Daz Studio Content Library

Daz Studio can read your new shape and color controls from any of your content directories.

If for some reason you want to use a different directory, first add it as a content directory in Daz Studio (Edit → Preferences → Content → Content Directory Manager → Daz Studio Formats → Add), then re-start FaceGen Artist and it will appear on the list.

Genesis 9 -> Shape

Two files are created for each shape slider, in order that it affect both the head and the mouth parts.

Genesis 9 -> Color

Color maps are created for both the diffuse and sub-surface scattering (SSS) lighting components. They are both necessary for iRay rendering. The SSS map is just a copy of the diffuse map but can be modified.
