(I hear that it will work if you buy & install all 3, dicktator, futalicious and texture wizard products but, I'm not paying him three times to end up with 2 things that work)
His reputation is shot with me. $14.90 down the drain. Whoever comes up with a similar product that works will get that money
I'm going to be blunt, but polite. You are WRONG. Texture Wizard works just fine. I use it regularly, and I get good results.
Neither of you can expect that the look is going to be perfect right out of the box, unless you are using a texture that is designed for the figure that you're using. If it's a figure that a texture doesn't exist for, you're going to have to adjust things, using the translucency setting. You just have to. Too dark? Dial it down. Too light, dial it up, or try a texture that's a little darker. The product works, if you use it correctly.
Look at the PDF that comes with the product, and FOLLOW it. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, that Meipe makes is a ripoff. It all works, but it's not so simple as 'click, make art'. Read the instructions.
I've been playing with this stuff for 20 years. It really wears me out to read a post from a user with only a few entries saying that a vendor is crap. No. Just no. Experiment! Read the instructions, and please understand that this hobby takes time and patience. Take the time to learn the software. Take the time to learn how a product works. Studio has limitations, and the vendors have to work within those parameters.
Plain and simple, Meipe's products work, but you have to read the instructions, and follow them.
