Has anyone ever considered creating a Skin Builder that would address this issue? Maybe a product that would be a one size fits all?
Another option is to integrate the Genitalia that comes with the figure into the Skin Builder product.
Anytime you launch Skin builder you must have the Daz gens loaded onto your character, then setup your skin as you normally would and when you are ready simply go to the UTILITIES tab and then SAVE SKIN AND MATERIAL PRESETS.
From there as long as the daz gens are loaded onto the model clicking on the "Anatomy Material Preset Name" it will output the Daz genitals textures and a preset file.
HOWEVER, it appears this does not always work if you did not run the "Build Skin" from the main part of the script first, it's kind of a head scratcher though as the ONLY time genital textures are even created / appear in the temp directory is ONLY when you click on the thing in utilities.
SO if you're building a new skin it should work everytime, but if your loading a skin in later to add fine details or skin overlays it doesn't seem to work then (which is a pain sadly)
Also since we're talking Skin Builder here are a few other helpful tips ;)
1: Skin Builder does NOT optimize images when saving them, you can run all outputted images through PhotoShop (or any other image editor) to cut their file sizes up to 70% before any loss of quality happens.
2: Unless I missed an update, the script seems to truncate -'s so raw image filenames SHOULD be renamed just to clean them up a bit IF you're looking at commercial use, however leaving it alone is totally your choice.
3: for experienced users only! did you know you can add your own stuff to SB?? simply goto \Runtime\Textures\SkinBuilderG8FMR and find the proper folder and either replace files with your own or add your own (Always make backups before you start messing around though ;) )
For example, I've straight up replaced the included lashes with my own lashes along with tweaks I've made to the stuff in "skin overlays" There's also ways to just add new stuff into the script and have it show up in the script UI but I'd have to hunt it back down as I've NOT done it to version 8 yet and it's been some years since I hacked up Skin Builder 3 lol
