Ok.  I have a problem.  I don’t even have an Anatomy folder and I just installed V5.  I also have the required genesis morph pack and nothing is showing up via both methods discussed.

Help please.

The genitals are a separate installer.

The basic Victoria 5 package does not include genitals. You need the pro version for that. There are morphs available for V5 which will accommodate you for simpler renders though.

Thanks for the responses.  I didn’t realize that it was not included in the base package.  I thought I was doing something wrong.

Cheers,

I have both M5 & V5 Pro and installed the genital packs.  Only the male genitals show up in Smart Content.  It doesn’t matter what I apply I can’t get the genitals to take on skin colour.  No genital skin presets show up either.  I’m starting to wonder if this is my lack of experience using DAZ or some kind of censorship arrangement so as not to offend parents whose teens use DAZ Studio. 

I wish there were proper genital presets and the genitals moved in a lifelike way with the figures.  I’m trying to create lifelike scenes that include nudity but DAZ seems a bit prudish about this which I think is odd considering all the beef/cheesecake figures available in the shop.  I’m not creating sexual scenes (I’ve no objection to people using genitals how they wish though) but for a media project for college that contains partial nudity.

PS I don’t know how I got the “Superdog” screen name but it does sound a bit sleazy unfortunately. :(

Most of the M4 gens texture should work fine with the genesis ones. As for V5 you can easily just apply the same ‘Hip’ material as V5 herself to the genitals. As long as you’ve set the UV set to the same, it will look just fine. If you need a more, ahem, ‘detailed interior’, then I’m out of ideas. Though Renderotica probably has a few things to accommodate even the most drastic situations you might need genitals for.

As for hair, this is the same problem as for V4, hard to avoid as you both want shaved or hair in her color. If you have an intime hair figure for V4 try to fit it.
Another option is to make an hair layer.
Renderotica has an set with detailed morphs for the genitals.

Ok, thanks, I’ll try that.  I just need genitals that look as natural as the Genesis models do so that there’s a semblance of reality in the project I’m working on.  I’m not aiming for close ups or functioning genitals apart from their natural movement (in M5 anyway) when animated.  I can’t seem to get the textures to apply themselves to the genitals which remain a grey colour whatever I seem to do.  I’ll keep experimenting until something works.

Wait ... are you trying to apply M5 genital textures to the Genesis Male Genitalia (GMG), or M4 textures?

All M5 sets I’ve seen where they have genital textures also have presets to apply them that work; you select the genital figure, then double-click the preset, and voila! dingus! (That said, I’m working with Studio, not Poser via DSON, so I don’t know what the differences there might be.)

If you’re using the DAZ-supplied GMG figure, M4 textures absolutely will not work with the new genital figure. The UVs and texture shapes are too different. For that, you would need either to use the M4 figure, parented to the pelvis, or CauriB’s male genitalia figure, which requires you to have a purchased copy of the DAZ gens (which you do). Even then, the textures need to be applied manually, although you can then save them off as a materials preset.

use the Karina prop from ShareCG for fem-gens ... Make your own Genesis morph for fit .... has all the morphs you’ll ever need. Just reparent it to the Pelvis rather than the Hip, then move it into place using the morph dials ... Try it with the Wet Skin shader from there ......have fun!!

Thanks!  I’ve finally worked out how to apply materials to the genital region by following your advice.  They look very natural on the M5 figure.  I bought some new genial textures (jpgs) for different skin colours which I’ve put in the runtime folder (DAZ Studio 4.5) but DAZ doesn’t seem to see them so I don’t know how to apply these.  I can’t seem to find them in any part of the content library at all.  Maybe I need to import them somehow?

If they are just jpg images, you need to apply them to the Diffuse under the Surfaces pane…then you can save out a preset for them.

Yep. The Karina MK II is a great piece, and the V4 body morphs needed to use it can easily be transferred to Genesis using Gen X, so they don’t have to be made from scratch.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the textures and Genitalia prop for V5.

Whenever I apply the textures and maps the Genitalia there always is a small gap which is not textured. I tried this with 10 different skin sets, and the gap is always there.

Does anyone here have a clue on how to fix this issue??

EDIT: I fixed it: The Problem if anyone else is having this issue is to set the UV Set to Victoria 5 on the “Skinhip” surface properties

There is another option:

This morph set includes a genital morph for the Genesis female, and it is excellent.  That and you also get a set of excellent morphs.
