Ten ready-to-render Halloween FX makeup looks and eight layers of realistic liquid blood for Genesis 9, Genesis 8 Female and Genesis 8.1 Female. One click on your character: the makeup is painted on its own paint layer ON TOP of her skin, so it works with any character - her skin textures, her shader and her custom UV set stay untouched, and you can remove everything again with one click.
Makeup looks: Skull Face, Sugar Skull (Dia de los Muertos style), Glam Skeleton, Vampire Bite, Zombie Rot, Stitched Smile, Gothic Clown, Demon Black Tears, Cat, Bleeding Eyes. Every look is real face paint, not a tattoo: its own colour, cutout, roughness and paint-relief normal maps - matte greasepaint, glossy lips, raised stitches with thread holes, cracked zombie skin with wet open wounds, shimmering metallic accents and dome rhinestones - painted in 3D around the eyes, nose and lips of each figure and baked into its own UV layout, so the designs line up on Genesis 9 and Genesis 8 / 8.1.
Blood: Mouth, Nose, Eye Tears, Neck Bite, Hands, Face Splatter, Body Splatter, Face Splatter Heavy - running rivulets with pause bulges and hanging drops, spray splatter with satellites, soaked palms and dipped fingertips. Every layer is its own liquid shell with a glossy wet-blood Iray shader (WetFX liquid model: thin translucent film, meniscus edges, thickness-dependent colour) and three states: Fresh (wet, glossy), Drying (tacky) and Dry (dark, matte). Stack any layers, set the state of all of them or only the ones you select, remove them one by one.
Perfect with Halloween costumes: vampire, zombie nurse, gothic clown, skeleton, devil, witch.

HOW TO USE
1. Select your character (Genesis 9, Genesis 8 Female or Genesis 8.1 Female).
2. 01 Makeup Looks: double-click a look. A new look replaces the previous one.
3. 02 Blood - Add: double-click any blood layers - they stack.
4. 03 Blood State: Fresh, Drying or Dry - for all blood layers of the selected character, or only for the blood layers you selected in the Scene pane.
5. 04 Remove: the makeup, one blood layer, all blood, or everything. The layers are normal scene items under her ('Halloween FX Makeup - ', 'Blood - ()'): hide or delete them in the Scene pane any time. Render in Iray.
TIPS
- Faces read best with a soft key light from the front-side and a little rim light; the wet blood shows through highlights - a light near the camera makes the fresh blood sparkle.
- The makeup sits on its own layer: change its colours in the Surfaces pane (select 'Halloween FX Makeup - …', Base Color) without touching her skin.
- Hair covers the top of the forehead paint like real face paint - that is intended.
- Lighter or 'washed off' makeup: select the makeup layer, Surfaces pane, lower Cutout Opacity (e.g. 0.6).
- Full-face looks (Skull, Sugar Skull, Clown): if your character has separate eyebrow / eyelash geometry, hide the eyebrows in the Scene pane for a fully painted brow area.
NOTES
- Iray materials only (not made for 3Delight / Filament).
- Genesis 9, Genesis 8 Female and Genesis 8.1 Female only - not Genesis 8 Male / Genesis 3.
- Blood rivulets are baked for an upright head, like any texture-based blood.
- All promo images were rendered in Daz Studio with Iray. The character, hair, clothing, lights and environment are not included.
