Barcode Tattoos

ebonartgallery

There are a couple of older LIE tats that have [Barcode Tattoos] this but nothing recent, I don't think, and besides I need them in various areas that don't normally appear in tat sets. 

Various barcodes and barcode types - like, postal, package, etc etc. Colors or emissions optional but appreciated. 
Maybe four or five varied codes, too. 
Varying places: Back of the neck, forehead, breastbone, throat, upper arm, wrist, back of hand, etc.

There might be a PA who will do some.

But it might be that you would need to make it it yourself.

* Find a suitable image of an barcode (or generate one).

* You probably have to invert it, so you end up with white lines (bars) on black background.

Then you can apply it in two ways:

A) As an LIE mask. Find the relevant UV texture for the bodypart where you want it, and place your black-white barcode image where you want it. Fill the rest with black. You now have a mask you can either add as LIE on the base color, or in Diffuse Overlay (Iray Uber) or Makeup (SkinPBR) channel.

The advantage is the barcode will stay in place when posing.

The challenge is it is difficult if the image passes seams, as they need to ligh up rather precisly. And the barcode can warp as the skin is not totally flat.

B) As a decal. Create a decal on the character, and add the barcode mask in the cutout oppasity channel, and move/scale the decal to fit where you want.

The advantage is you can use your barcode over seams without issue, and it won't distort with skin stretching.

If you then pose the character, the decal might change position. This can be mostly avoided/minimized if you parent the decal to the bone it should follow.
