"Artisan Mask Tanuki" for Genesis 8, 8.1, and 9 is the third expansion to our Artisan Festival Masks. The Tanuki mask, the result of merging Japanese traditional masks and Venice Festival Masks, represents a raccoon, a symbol of cleverness, adaptability, curiosity, and mischief.
Rather than doing an add-on, we included two looks and four material options for the Tanuki Mask: Traditional Paper Pulp, Leather, Wood, and Lacquered Wood. By building the design around the Iray 4-Layer Uber PBR Shader, we created a highly customizable design right from the comfort of the DAZ Studio Interface.
For those less familiar with the Surface Pane Interface, we have provided a collection of colorful Designs as Iray Material Presets: 16 Traditional, 12 Leather, 11 Wood, and 9 Lacquered Wood to get you started. The designer reuses the same textures with different colour schemes, demonstrating endless combinations made possible by masks.
Important: The mask will be parented to the head via the wearable presets. So, to change the materials, remember to select the mask or the strap! We also included Prop versions of the masks for use with other Generations, manually positioning them and parenting them to the head.
Also, the materials for the masks (decoration and colors) will not be visible in the viewport, but they will render correctly.
