Skin Shaders
I am lookinfg for content that will allow me to adjust human skin tone. Since all human skin tone derives from the melanin pigment which is brown, one would think that would be easy. But sadly I have not found such a shader. I have seen all manner of alien greens and reds etc but no simple human skin shader. Does anyone know of one?
If not does and one know of a tutorail that deals with adjusting human skin tones in Daz 3D?

Skin Builder for Gen 1 and 2 works pretty well..
It says "female". Does this work with males figures as well?
I got Skin Builder and installed it. It keeps crashing. Just sticks with a "spinning beach ball" on my Mac. And suggestions for getting it to work?
It isn't necessarily crashing - it takes a while for DS to build the textures once the script sends its list of components. How long are you waiting?
I didn't time it but once the Operating Software listed it as "unresponsive". I will try again and wait longer. How long is a reasonable to wait?
Unresponsive means that the process does not process events, which is normal for a DS script as they run in main thread and not in a working thread. Time depends on the speed of your CPU, the complexity of the skin setup and your RAM. On my machine 12 core 2.8GHz Xeon Mac Pro it can take up to 2-3 minutes, depending on the settings, so wait at least 5 minutes. If you have spincontrol (or activity monitor), you can check what DS is doing by samolke it while it runs, there you can see if it's stuck or not. Stuck usually means only one single piece of code is executed, usually spending 100% waiting for a sig or a pthreadmutex.
Then that could be the problem. I will keep working on it.
For me it could take up to half-an-hour as I recall, i7 920 running Windows 7.
For the scripts to run through everything...depending on CPU, load and other factors outside of Studio...five minutes would be the least I'd wait before saying it was stuck/crashed. They can take a bit of time to finish...with a much less complex thing than Skin builder it used to take me up to 15 mins or so.
The skin takes much longer than say the eyes, make up etc. I have waited a good 10 minutes for the skin to load on the new pc and longer on the older laptop.
