Best Skin Shader for G3/IRAY

Obsidianpoet

Again, I know I'm late to the IRAY game, but up until a few weeks ago I couldn't get IRAY to work.  Now, I rather like it.  I am looking for suggestions for good skin shaders to put onto the skin AFTER I set up my character.  You know how some characters come with those little presets like that and you click on them and it does the IRAY, or 3Delight, or SSS etc?  FWSA Piper I think is one I have with this little thing you click on to get the shaders on after you finish applying all options. 

I have a bunch of these scripts saved for 3Delight in my script menu when I use IRAY only characters and am rendering in 3Delight.  In fact, that is how I was able to buy IRAY only material characters and still use them up until I started with IRAY.   

Now, I guess I want to go in the other direction for some.  Basically, I have some V4 skins I used Texture Transformer to get onto G3.  So, they have no IRAY shaders or anything fancy.  They were quality V4 skins, but I don't know how well those translate onces you have transformed them.  I generally apply the 3Delight shader to my character after set up.  I'd like something like that for IRAY that gives decent results for us novice folks.  I have one or two quick IRAY ones that came with characters, but I want something made for not just a certain character.  Something hopefully made for somebody like me LOL.  

I've looked at a lot of products and am so confused.  Suggestions of things to get would be appreciated.  I mostly use HDRI skies and G3 characters.  I'm not terribly savvy at all these settings/conversions so something easy to use with OK results is good.  

Thanks!

The "normal" models have skins that, at least in my opinion, dont need to be replaced. Especially Lilith7 skin looks fantastic and can be used ony any other g3. 

But if it is a must for you to play arround with skin replacemend, there is only one valid solution... at least for me.

Why do you think that the base skins for each character need replacing? Perhaps you should consider just learning to tweak them if you want changes to skin tone etc. It won't be harder than learning a skin replacer.
