Soft Skin Transitions 2 for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Females consists of a set of more pronounced opacity masks (with twice the variation) meant to be applied to a Geoshell to, quickly and easily, create transitions between two skins applied to a single character from within the comfort of DAZ Studio.

This pack is intended as an extension (containing twice the presets) of the first pack of Soft Skin Transitions. So now you can mix and match the LIE Masks between the packs to increase the combinations between almost any skins* in your arsenal to create a brand-new look.

This is perfect for showing a character that may have been experimented on. Or perhaps she's the product of two races coming together and producing an entirely new way of life. What type of meaning you'll give the resulting skin is up to you!

Soft Skin Transitions 2 includes 3 Wearable Presets, 106 LIE Mask Presets, and 18 Visibility Presets. The product should work with both Genesis 8 and 8.1 Females. And since Genesis 3 uses the same UVs as Genesis 8, the presets should be compatible to work with the previous generation so long as the skin applied to the Transitional Geoshell (with Genesis 8 UVs) Wearable uses the Base Genesis 3 Female UVs.

While this was created to blend two skins together, you can push the product further by blending in other types of materials/shaders. To that end, we included an Iray Charcoal Skin Material Presets with eight color variations to blend into the underlying skin. It's important to note that this material is set to work with Genesis 8 Base Female UVs only. This is to ensure compatibility with both Genesis 8 and 8.1.

Of course, remember that when using shaders, there are limitations, which are explained in detail in the included PDF Instruction Manual. In short, you'll need to set the tiling to 1 and use the Base Female UVs for the masks to look as intended. This will most certainly result in seams across the surfaces (which can be hidden by applying masks that do not cross those seams) if the materials in question were not made specifically for the Base UVs.

*Important: Only skins using "DAZ Iray Uber Base Shader" can be applied to the Geoshell, as the cutout opacity channel is required to build the blending transitions. That said, your character CAN use the new PBR Skin Shader (as the underlying skin). It's just the Geoshell that's not compatible with the PBR Skin Shader.

As previously mentioned, a detailed PDF Guide has been included to guide you through the process of using this product. From its installation to its limitations and workarounds.
