Now before every veteran Blender user finds something about this to complain about, keep in mind three things:

- I only used Blender for about a month.
- I made this only to help other users coming from DAZ Studio who may have never used nodes before, and I wanted to keep it simple and fairly easy to understand.
- If you've got a better setup, post links to it. I'm not going to argue with anyone over this, and you'll be helping others anyway.

This was designed with Cycles in mind, but it can be adapted to Eevee of course. I also did not purposely include the actual node setup as a download for two other reasons: the steps to import it can be confusing by itself, and it will help you understand nodes a lot more if you build this tree on your own. Doing this a number of times and adding little improvements each time helped me.

One other thing, if you happen to get the rare high-quality DAZ product that includes both Specular and Roughness maps, just copy the Specular node and plug it into the Roughness dot with the appropriate maps loaded (both set to Non-Color).

I hope it can be helpful, or at least give you a few ideas on building a better tree for your own projects. Thanks for taking a look!
