Masculine feet & hands for Genesis 2 male?

PA_ThePhilosopher

Hey guys,

So working with Genesis 2 male, I have noticed that the feet and hands are somewhat un-male like; pudgy, undefined and emasculated. I was wondering if anyone knows how to obtain more masculine looking feet and hands (e.g., more definition, less opulent, etc.), as in the picture below;

Only way is via displacement, or HD morphs (only for PA's). Alternatively I did make this http://www.daz3d.com/vascularity-hd-for-genesis-2-female-s-and-genesis-2-male-s It's just vein detail, but maybe it can help. Also to add, the base figure eg Genesis 2 Male is not meant to have these fine details in. Most can be found on supported shapes or products. The aim of the base is to provide a blank canvas for developers to work with.

I've been using Vascularity from Skin Overlay, but I find it helps create that 'firm body' style you might be looking for.

Such as: http://willbear.deviantart.com/art/Delver-Dennis-566822262

Still thin and wiry, but the arm veins really make him look athletic.

But you onlly have a limited number of polygons to work with, right?... In other words, how can one create ore detail in the hands and feet, if the Genesis 2 is ~70,000 polygons or something? 

I have zBrush and can modify Genesis 2 to my own custom morphs. But I never figured out how to increase the density of the polygons of Genesis 2 and it still be recognized by DAZ3D as a Genesis 2 figure.

Thanks for the help by the way.

The hands can look kind of sausagey to me.

Correct, you have to work at base resolution and have to try and squeeze detail out of there. The only way to work at a higher Sub-level is via the HD tool which is only given to PA's.

You could port these to G2M:
