Artisan Mask Shika for Genesis 8, 8.1, and 9 is the second expansion to our Artisan Festival Masks. The Shika mask, which merges traditional Japanese and Venice Festival masks, represents a deer, a symbol of gentleness, power, and authority.

This time around, we wanted to help your storytelling even more by providing a way to show the struggle the Shika wearer may be going through in the form of a broken mask that can be shattered by manually manipulating the nine individual pieces. As such, the Shika Mask comes in two versions: complete and broken.

Additionally, rather than doing an add-on, we included two looks and four base materials: Traditional Paper Pulp, Leather, Wood, and lacquered Wood. By building the design around the Iray 4-Layer Uber PBR Shader, we have ensured 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 sets use the same color scheme, which shows that the color combinations are endless through 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 to use with other Generations by 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 as they should.
