I think it's a broken frammitz here on the site and not a problem in my browser.  Images included below...

Edit:  Windows 8.1, Firefox.  All other stuff is working correctly.

I have many characters for earlier Daz characters such as M4, Genesis and G2M.  Some of them are quite distinct and I've spent time tweaking the textures with custom tattoo, scars and other features.  I know I'm not alone in this.  So, my question is:  Are there any products (or plans for products) that will allow us to use our older textures on Genesis 3 Male?  A set of UVs like we had with Michael 4 for Genesis 2 Male?

Thanks for any info.

Update:

Thanks to Sorel and Leana for the quick and concise replies!  Turns out there is no easy way.  I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.  Backwards compatability only lasts so long.  Still there are some tutorials starting with the one Leana listed below.  j cade, who wrote the tutorial below, also mentioned a second tutorial for those of us who are unfamilar with Blender.  I'm going to list them below for the next noob who wonders the same thing as I did.  If anyone has any futher information, send me a message and I'll update the post.

UPDATE (07Feb2016)

For those reading this for the first time, this is a quick rehash of a post below.  There's a 3D paint program called BlackSmith 3D which can include a Texture Transformer utility.  It does a good job of transfering M4 (not Genesis or G2M) to G3M.

Any suggestions?

What I've noticed, over the last 6 months or so, is clearly Unity and Daz are working toward partnering, as evidenced by Morph3d system and such, I even see Daz Products for Unity in the Unity Store. For a while I thought this was just a obvious partnership... However, with the Launch of 4.9, and Daz Connect, I can't help notice how similar Daz Connect is to Unity's Asset Store in both function, use, and encryption. It might just be that Daz thinks Unity's format is a good idea (I personally hate the lack of a native library in unity, and that unity is the only way to download the Assets from their store)

I have to wonder if there is a Merger or Acquisition in the works? (not that any "official" response confirming or denying this can be forthcoming, having been through a couple corporate mergers, at least until the deal is done.)  I think as a whole, the combination of Unity and Daz would be a good thing.

I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question, but perhaps it bears asking:

As much as I love Alyson 2-based characters Anastasia and Aspasia, who were the only reason I began using Poser (in addition to DAZ) about a month ago, I find Poser to be such a clumsy, unintuitive, regressive monstrosity compared to DAZ that it's incredibly difficult to get anything accomplished. Poser has some nice features, but generally, I find DAZ to be an exponentially superior application, especially from a useability standpoint.

That said, I'm wondering if anyone has ever developed a way to use Alyson 2-based characters in DAZ, perhaps as a clone or facsimile of some sort. It seems a pity that such remarkable characters are sacrificed to an Edsel of an application such as Poser.

Thank you for any input.

whats up with all this property options under parameter ?

are there any new tuts ?

property cloner...

property mover...

edit mode...

conforming property converter....

how does erc freeze work with this ?

I can now use the internet while I render. I'm sure it sacrifices some render performance, but at least it's togglable!

I have just bought Dynamic Loincloths, Togas and Skirts for Genesis and Genesis 2 Male(s)

and I have to say it doesn`t worth the price and it it causes crashes on DS4.8 so I want to give it back.

Best could be cheapest, most features and controls or most reliable (fewest crashes).

Thanks in advance for any and all recommendations.

Is this the result of working online and some files in my runtime just got updated and Studio went into a flurry to update them no matter what it was I was doing at the time? I can only imagine what my response would be if I was rendering an image that was taking *hours* and this happened in the middle of it. 

Will work offline stop this behavior? 

No links, plenty to google.

A way to differentiate between different types of Shaders while within DS. What I mean is being able to easily see which Shaders are Iray, which are 3Delight, etc. etc. Right now it seems like it is left to the discretion of the vendor if they state Iray somewhere in the interface.

I've looked in Smart Content, Content Library, and Render Settings but don't see any way to tell which is which.

I don't even need it added to DS. Just having a tag in DIM that would allow me to install those Shaders to different directories would be helpful.

I am using Genesis 2 Female, and Poser, so it'd have to work with both of those things.

She wears a varying degree of different makeup almost every episode so it's kind of hard to find one specific kind of makeup but I would do with something similar. I will add a variety of pics so it will be easier.

Yes, I have read the FAQ but can't find these answers.

I'm wondering in a Physics based  renderer like iray or lux, is it possible to just fill a room with "dust" and have the light naturally create beams as it would do? or is faking it still the best way to go?

Things I liked

1. Icons are bigger and easier to read.  This is a big plus I can easily see exactly what each item is.

2. Dim still works exactly as it did

3. My custom categories work perfectly (after 2 weeks). I do NOT move my files I just create custom categories) My smart content tab pulls up my custom categories unless I use the default tab or all tab

4. Connect was easy to use and downloading the encrypted freebies I used for the test pretty much went off without a hitch

5. It was relatively easy to figure out how to get the encrypted items into my custom categories, I believe it was just one extra step right click and select show in content category. It automatically goes to the category and from there you can put it in your custom categories as usual. (I know a couple of people who have had their custom categories disappear though so please, back them up first)

6. Iray hasn't crashed yet

7. I still have 3 choices as to what style I want to use Darkside, Main Street and Highway

Things I don't like

1. DRM products.  I won't buy them have had bad experiences in the past.  I will use the freebies as the only thing I would lose is the use of something I didn't pay for.  The stuff I do pay for....isn't going

to be DRM if I can help it. (personal preference, please don't debate this here)

2.  It takes a while for the smart content tab to load and it took longer to download via connect than DIM does. (Roadrunner High Speed Business Class) I know other people have the opposite experience

3. I don't have any desire to shop while I am working and doubt that I will ever use the store tab.  However, its unoptrusive and easily ignored.

4.  I dislike that if I have a system change or get a new computer I have to reverify.  Yes I know its only once each time but there are a ton of variables with internet usage.  We camp.  A lot.  If something happened and we don't have internet I would be out of luck until back in the real world. That would make me very very unhappy.

5.  The new items I have purchased and downloaded are no longer highlighted.  This is actually a big deal.  I have a TON of stuff and having to wade through it all and remember the 15 items I just downloaded and then find them is sincerely slowing me down.

6.  I still don't like Smart Content.  I dislike it slightly less but its still a jumbled mess. I will stick to my custom categories because they work for me. I will be trying different ways of searching just to see if it improves using different  search terms. I had a very hard time finding Lynsey to download through connect in the smart content pane.  Took me about 5 minutes.  and yes, I did type in Lynsey.

7. I don't know how well Garibaldi Hair script or Look at My hair (full version) work in 4.9 as I am not loading those to this computer. The Skin Builder script works just fine

So, overall, for my purposes I will probably move to 4.9 in the near future (I have a backed up version of 4.8, just in case). I will probably do the pc first and see how that is for the next couple of weeks.  If all goes well again, I will load the laptop. I won't be purchasing the DRM products on prinicipal however my biggest issues, which were being able to continue using my custom categories is resolved in a favorable manner.  I realize that this does not help people who move actual files or people who need to get into those files for one reason or another but for those people who don't do those things but are undecided I hope this was a little bit helpful.
