As voted on by patrons in the July 2024 monthly ZSE pack poll. Thanks for your support! But our princess is in another...

Sorry, I had to. Now let's talk about the model a bit. 

This is in fact the Genesis 8 mesh we're working with here, not a prop head on a G8 body. If you're not aware, an extremely cartoonish, non-photorealistic face shape like this can really deform the eyes and facial features which makes it really hard/annoying to pose in Daz Studio.

On top of the new textures and shader settings for the G8F eyes, I've added a pose + shaping preset which puts them into as close to a neutral, workable position as I could get them. I'd recommend manual face bone posing over expression sliders/morphs as much as possible and generally sticking to expressions that Peach makes in the games so you're not constantly fighting deformation and other jank.

With that out of the way, here's a couple last things to note.

• The earring preset is a shader preset which means you can add it to any object. Including replacement earrings, which you'll probably want to do with sphere primitives parented to her ears to replace the wonky, polygonal earrings that she comes with. If you don't know how to make primitives, check this out really quick.

• The skin is also just Iray Uber since Peach doesn't really need PBRSkin's details. If anyone out there wants a PBRSkin conversion, though, I can prepare that. Just shoot me a message to make your interest known.

If you have any issues with the included resources, please let me know. Thanks!
