• Product Notes:
  • Please take care to select the right preset depending on the Type of Minotaur 6 HD settings you use:
    • 1. The presets of the main folders will apply the materials on the full version of the minotaur, including Horns, Tails and Minotaur Legs.
    • 2. The Human Presets, in the Human folder, will only apply on the general surface list existing for Genesis 2 Figures. If for instance you add later on Horns or Tails, you can apply the same presets on these parts using the shader version included in the product. For each material presets, you will find the corresponding shader preset.
    • 3. The Shader Presets can be applied not only on the minotaur parts, but on any surface you own : props, outfits, other figures (including older Generations). For this, you have first to select all the surfaces you want to apply the smart shaders on, and then apply the skin shader you want. The result color also depends on the base color you apply it on.

• Owners of “Amazing Skins for Genesis 2 Male(s)” can use all the additional sub-properties presets included in “Amazing Skins For Genesis 2 Male(s)” on the Human Version of the Minotaur 6 HD only.

• If you want to customize manually your skin, you can refer to the following documentation :
  • 1. Video documentation playlist
  • 2. 20912_amazing-skins-for-the-minotaur-6-hd.pdf

• The only difference regarding this documentation is that you will also have to select the additional surfaces of the minotaur (Tails, Horns, Legs, Hooves…).
