Halloween FX Makeup 2 Brand: audrey-studio Version: 1.1 Ten original Halloween makeup looks and eight optional blood/contact patterns. Each blood pattern has independent left and right placements. Complete looks and adjustments create figure-specific geometry-shell layers above the original skin. Skin, eye and eyelash materials remain unchanged. WHAT'S NEW IN 1.1 - Fixed: applying the left and then the right side of a blood pattern (or any two placements) no longer hides the first one in Iray. Every blood placement now has its own layer spacing, so all 16 placements stack, and each Remove preset removes only its own placement. Scenes saved with 1.0 are corrected the next time any preset of this product is applied to that figure. - Renamed: "05 Layer Offset" (Low / Normal / High) is now "05 Layer Spacing" with two clear choices - see LAYER SPACING below. - New: "07 Value Pack" - 12 blood colours (4 of them glowing), 7 paint colours, paint glow on / off and two reset presets (88 presets per figure folder). - New: layers never cover a geograft that is added to the figure later (click any preset of this product again after adding one). - Improved: the cutout maps are padded past the UV seams, so fully painted areas show no thin see-through line along a seam. REQUIREMENTS DAZ Studio 6 or DAZ Studio 4.24 with Iray and the default Iray Uber shader content. The corresponding Genesis 9, Genesis 8 Female/Male or Genesis 8.1 Female/Male Starter Essentials figure is required. Render characters, clothing, hair, poses and lighting are separate scene assets. INSTALL Extract this ZIP into a mapped DAZ content library. Merge the People, Runtime and Documentation folders with the folders at the library root. Keep their internal paths. Refresh the Content Library if the new material folders are not visible. Updating from 1.0: delete the old "05 Layer Offset" folder in each Halloween FX Makeup 2 material folder (or install through your store's manager, which replaces the whole product). WHERE TO FIND People / Genesis 9 / Materials / audrey-studio / Halloween FX Makeup 2 People / Genesis 8 Female / Materials / audrey-studio / Halloween FX Makeup 2 People / Genesis 8 Male / Materials / audrey-studio / Halloween FX Makeup 2 Genesis 8.1 Female and Male use the matching Genesis 8 material folder; the scripts detect the exact figure and set its base UV layout. QUICK START 1. Select a supported figure or one of its layers. 2. Double-click a preset in 01 Makeup Looks. 3. Add any optional left/right patterns in 02 Blood - Add - left and right, and any number of placements, stack. 4. Select the figure to change all its V2 blood, or select a V2 blood layer to change only that layer's state or colour. 5. Use 04 Paint Controls to switch eye paint, lip paint and face details, adjust coverage, choose a finish and switch metallic accents. 6. Use 07 Value Pack to recolour the blood or the paint, or to make them glow. 7. Use 06 Remove for individual blood patterns, all blood, makeup or everything from this product. Each complete makeup look replaces the previous V2 look and restores the complete paint defaults (the layer spacing is kept). Reapplying a blood placement updates its existing layer. A new blood placement takes the wet state, colour and spacing of the blood already on the figure. Saved scenes retain the chosen paint parts, coverage, finish, metallic setting, colours, glow, blood state and spacing. WHAT EACH PRESET FOLDER DOES - 01 Makeup Looks: applies one complete face-paint look (replaces the previous look). - 02 Blood - Add: adds one blood pattern on one side; every placement is its own layer and they all stack. - 03 Blood State: Fresh / Drying / Dry wetness and colour for the selected V2 blood layer, or all of them. - 04 Paint Controls: eye / lip / detail parts on or off, coverage, finish and metallic accents of the current look. - 05 Layer Spacing: how far all of this product's layers sit above the skin - a fix tool, not a visual effect (see below). - 06 Remove: removes one blood placement (only that one), all blood, the makeup, or everything from this product. - 07 Value Pack / Blood Colours: recolours the selected V2 blood layer, or all of them; the "Glow" colours also emit light; Reset returns to the normal blood colour of the current state. - 07 Value Pack / Paint Colours: tints the current look (light paint takes the colour fully, dark lines stay dark); Reset returns to the designed colours. - 07 Value Pack / Paint Glow: makes the current look's paint emit light in its own colours (best in dark scenes); Off switches it back. LAYER SPACING Standard Spacing (default) keeps the paint about 0.2 mm and the blood 0.2 - 0.4 mm above the skin. Raised Spacing lifts every layer of this product by about 0.2 mm. There is no visible change on a normal character - use Raised only if skin pokes through the paint on a strongly morphed character, or a layer of another product shows through.

WHAT IS INCLUDED 88 choices per figure folder: 10 complete looks; 16 blood placements; 3 blood states; 7 paint-part controls; 3 coverage levels; 3 finishes; 2 metallic-accent controls; 2 layer spacings; 16 individual blood removers and 3 global removers; Value Pack: 12 blood colours + reset, 7 paint colours + reset, paint glow on / off. The three folders contain 264 scripts with matching thumbnails and tips. Five separate figure/UV layouts are supported. Optional 4K UV art guides are supplied in a separate ZIP. TIPS Metallic accents follow each design's metallic mask. Looks without metallic accents retain their normal paint appearance. Eye/lip/detail switches use the design's region masks. Painted outlines adapt to the figure's face; the Masquerade nose point can appear as a small separate black-and-gold accent below the nose on Genesis 8 shapes. Separate eyebrow cards or hair can cover full-face paint; hide those scene items when a cleaner painted face is wanted. The presets preserve those original scene items. Added another geograft after this pack? Click any of its presets again. This product's layers stack with the first Halloween FX Makeup and the other audrey-studio skin-layer products. This is a surface-effects pack for Iray rendering. VALIDATION The exact runtime and textures were checked in DAZ Studio 6 and 4.24: every preset applied, all blood placements stacked left + right, every remover, saved-scene behaviour, and coexistence with the first Halloween FX Makeup.
