Renderotica

Most of my work is either gay men or femdom. Becuase of this, a lot of the morphs and add ons that are used for G8F I actually need for G8M. I know that purchasing them, I can fiddle around with them and dicern how I could fit them on a man, like headlights by Meipe. I had to figure out a long work around to use it on a G8M, but it works for what I need it to. Although, there are some other products that I need/have that I need to apply to a G8M. They are as follows -

All the cum shots by DragiHadzitosic (I'd hope that they're actually just props and that I can manipulate them independent of the G8F, but we'll find out later)

Anatomy Enhancement For Genesis 8 And 3 Females by Eroticalist

Three Tits for G8F by powerage

The list could go one for days.

The point is that when I purchase these items, I'm afraid that I'll only be able to use them for the listed model, which is kind of what they're meant for, I know. But my art is very unique and I want to make the best of it considering how much money, time and dedication I'm willing to pour into this. 

What I am in need of are more ways to coherently use various product such as the ones listed on their G8M counterparts. 

Lastly, I'm just going to post things in this thread considering that I'm always asking about this kind of stuff. Just makes more sense to use one post for it. 

I don´t think there is a way to convert GeoGrafts from one figure to another, but I'd like to know. Vertices on the edge must match the original figure to attach, and even if you could attach them, it would look weird.

How good are you with Blender? That's probably going to be the main determining factor. You don't have to be a guru at it, but there's definitely a learning curve. I started off using Hexagon, and now I'm trying to learn Blender. For me the hardest part of Blender is learning the interface. Once I figure out where to find what I'm looking for, it's not so bad.

It looks like most of what's on your list is doable, but it'll take some work. There are a few tutorials on geografts, so that helps. I'm pretty sure there aren't any tutorials on exactly what you're trying to do, so it'll take some creativity on your part, but that's part of the fun.  :)

If you're just learning Blender, I'd start with the Donut Tutorial 3.0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIoXOplUvAw by Blender Guru. He goes through all the basics of the program, and it's made specifically for Blender 3.0 which is more focused on the Node Editor.

I think Hellboy's right, geografts won't transfer directly, not without a lot of visual problems. You'll probably have to export from one, then adapt it to the other figure as a new geograft. Then you'll have to transfer the morphs over in a similar manner. The good thing is by the time you learn all that, you'll pretty much be able to make your own assets.

Just did the first 2 videos in the series and my pastry is looking great, lol

Thank you for point out Zev0! I completely forgot that he had a store over on Daz. I got that one in my wishlist to buy at somepoint. 

It's funny that I've heard of all three of those guys, and I've seen some of all of their videos. I'm currently starting with Blender Guru and it's going well. I've hit a snag in step 8/video 8. He's painting in texture mode and he's able to pain directly onto the donut. However, when I attempt to click on the donut on the right hand side to pain on it like he does, it's for some reason posting to the underside of the donut like it's upside down or something? I'll see it come up on the map and it's really weird. I did back track to try and figure out what I did wrong, but I can't find it and I'd like to be able to follow the tutorial as closely as possible. The first picture is what he did and the second one is what I'm getting, so not too sure where I gumped it up, lol. I'll figure it out at some point.

Good looking donut so far! I did BG's donut tutorial for Blender 2.8 a while ago, so I need to redo it for 3.0. The frustrating thing about Blender is that they keep adding new features faster than I can learn the old ones, so technically that means I'm getting dumber at it.  :(

I was skimming through the 3.0 tutorial, and it doesn't look like he covers texture unwrapping. But, he's not done with the series, so I guess he may cover it in the future. If not, the 2.8 tutorial definitely has it.

Yes, kind of like taking the peel off an orange and trying to lay it out flat. But you usually do it when you make the object, before you apply a texture.

I think the old (2.8) tutorials will work. The biggest problem is trying to use tutorials before 2.8 because the interface was so different and they used right-click to select. I'll never understand that.

Looks good! I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

rjsquirrel - I'm not sure what this product is, but thank you for the tip! But to clear up what I'm trying to do a little more - I want to be able to take add ons that are meant for female characters and place them on a male figure. Cause you're right, there are props out there that would allow me to make a female character look like a G8M, but most of those only work to make the female look like the base G8M. I want male characters of all kinds to be able to have nice nips and big clits and stuff like that. But I know that not everyone is into that kind of thing, so it makes sense that things like that wouldn't sell that well. It also makes sense cause it would take a lot more time on the part of the content creator to make something like that compatible with both characters.
