When a man is coming or about to come, the testicles pull up tight against the bottom of the pelvis, maintaining their mass in the process, before relaxing again once the orgasm is over. It's a small but crucial detail that really adds to the realism of an image, and one I'd love to have proper tools for. Is there any possibility of getting something like that for both G3M and G8M? Thanks...
Maybe try to use the "Scrotum Contraction Base" morph, possibly setting its limits off...

Their purpose is for collision, either with dForce or the smoothing modifier. They have no dForce weight, they are static surfaces.

Select Dicktator, in the parameters tab filter the results typing "cc" and you'll find the right/left testicle scale parameters (and many other posing/shaping parameters for the testicles).

Select the scrotum/balls and you can pose them in the "Posing" tab and mix the result with the morphs in the "Parameters" tab.

Using the smoothing modifier (that handles traditional collisions) with dforce may create an edge around the CC graft. So I recommend using the dynamic smoothing with dforce instead.

Only if the balls poke through the mesh, the idea is to hide them in ths case. It did not happen to me, but just in case...

Ignore those two lines, I forgot to delete them ;) I moved all parameters on Dicktator.

If you are using dforce, do not bother... The scrotum will collide with the internal legs, hands, shaft and testicles by default. [when rendering you may need to hide the colliders if they create artifacts. I could not hide them, otherwise dforce would ignore them]
If you are using the old smoothing modifier (3a) you'll need to choose either the hands+legs OR the testicles OR the shaft (if flacid). I could not group all colliders one one mesh, as they are parented to different figures, and the smoothing modifier allows to collide only wth one object.

Hello Meipe,
I just tried and still doesn't work. It poke through, I tried "hide balls" and they are still showing up.
Maybe I do something wrong? Edited by user Tuesday, March 29, 2022 1:59:51 PM(UTC)

The malls can be manually hidden in the scene tab.
If you tell about the workflow you are following, I may be able to help you Meipe attached the following image(s):

has anyone managed to get the materials to look like the promos? I have only tried on G8M so far but, the materials don't work well on the balls for me. I've even bought Texture Wizard and Pumping Pole to see if that makes a difference but it doesn't really. I end up with a line on the displacement/normal maps and no nice veiny textures. The best shaft materials are with Dicktator but the balls are terrible, they're just plastic looking with that. Seems a pity to have nice detailed mesh and no maps to go with it especially when the promos look so good. You would expect to be able to replicate the results from the promos.
Thanks

The promos are mostly made with Pumping Pole Palette's 'Desire' preset, with zero post-production, and the default DAZ lightset, just adding a few spotlighs here and there. In order to avoid issues, you must use the material presets from the "Dicktator v3\9b-Cocky Clackers\1-Material Presets\4-Pumping Pole Palette" folder, not the presets from the "Dicktator v3/4-Pumping Pole Palette" folder (PPP is an earlier product).

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, that's the one I've used, no veins in the texture though and if I just load the Dicktator using the CC smart load then go straight to the 9b/4ppp/Desire folder and load veins nothing happens. No displacement no veins in the materials, it's just accessing Dicktator materials. I can see in the Rectum materials it's accessing Desire but if I manually copy that I do get the veins but then the whole Dicktator looks purple and I'm not getting any veiny displacement on the shaft like it implies on the preset preview.
(The instructions pdf wasn't easy to understand. When I read instructions I want to be able to follow a step by step method, especially when I'm wanting to get the job done I felt I had to read a lot of information and and let it digest before I could even start. My brain just doesn't work like that. I run a small online business and my customers complain if I don't give them a simple 1, 2, 3.... type instructions. Then I give a more in depth explanation if they want to read that later. I know you've got a lot of variables to deal with but, you could do a for Cocky with Dictator only ins, with ppp, ins, with ....)
Thanks.

To be clear what I've tried, Everything downloaded and stalled fresh today to make sure it's up to date.
1, Select G8M.
2. Hit CC 2a, smart.
3. Hit CC 3a material
4. Go toCC/4-PPP
5. Hit Desire
6 Hit Veins option.
I tried missing out step 5 but, same result.
Go to Surfaces Tab with Shell selected. The only surfaces with Desire showing in Base Colour are Torso options and Rectum. If i manually copy those I do get the veins in the materials show but, it's a very odd colour and still no displacement.
Thanks

This product is AMAZING! Thanks Meipe!
Is there any chance we can get some wet or reflectivity options? USM and the older dicktator reflectivity options didn't seem to work.

Most of the material presets report errors (though appear to work) if you do not have Cover-Up. Is this expected? I can not find it documented anywhere, and there does not appear to be a separate set of presets for those without. Am I missing something?

yeah, I'm not an 'expert' on scripting in DAZ in fact I'm only assuming it's similar to scripting in anything else but, he'd need to write in some if, and, or, not lines to avoid that. Or he could have created different buttons if you don't have the Coverup. I agree it is annoying.

Well Cocky Clackers does show dicktator, cover up, and pumping pole pallette as required products so it makes sense that it is not going to load right without them or include calls to the textures the products contain..

Even with the store page saying that, the dependencies in the files are there for Pumping Pole Palette and Cover Up, so while they may not be "Required" (even though just below that it shows all three being required and has the links to the products) with how the files are set up without owning all three products, it isn't going to load for you without missing file messages because the references for all three products are there, so if you don't have them installed it is going to point out that the files it is looking for are not on your computer.

Yes, it's because the material presets include UV map info about all the grafts, and DS consider the lack of such UV file on your computer as worth of warning, even if it's harmless.
I'll post a patch Tomorrow.

Ths should fix most of the "Missng Files" warning if you don't have Cover Up installed: https://www.dropbox.com/...rs_DCK_FIX_NoCU.zip?dl=0

Thanks for your quick response, my concern was that it was not documented and therefor unexpected.

Meipe; the hardest working creator in the naughty bits 3d world. Just gotta say again, love your dedication and customer service. A lot of places could learn a thing or two about standing behind a product from you.

Hi,
When I do the manual setup, the sack is empty and it just simulates skin. Is there anything I'm forgetting or missing?

The internal testicles are a separate object. You'll find it in the "Testicle Coliider" sub-folder.
