These presets were made for Genesis and only work correctly on characters that do not change the base scaling/height when dialed.
These include Genesis (of course), Genesis Male/Female, V3, V4, A4, S5 (Curvy Only), D3, MS Lycan, and the DAZ Horse 2. Also worked on the Gorilla (if you disregard the high spot on its head), AT's Being (High spot too), and Joequick's Mr. Simian freebie. V5 + V5 Model together scale fine. May be others that scale accurately too but these are the ones I tested.
The presets work "well enough" on the following characters (off by 1-6 inches but close enough for most artwork): M3, M4, M5, H3, H4, V5, V5 Model, A3, and Freak 3
Others tested did increase or decrease in size but not as labeled on the preset: F4, Troll, Mr. Hyde, H5, Hitomi, AT Baby and the Genesis Child. (For example, if you use the Max 10' preset on the AT Baby, you get a 7' baby. Impressive but not 10' as labeled. If you use the 3' one, you get a microbaby. lol About 2.5% of Genesis. Apparently, rather than setting the scale to a certain percentage, the preset merely adds or subtracts what it would take to make the Genesis Base a certain height. Thus it subtracts almost 3' from the baby, leaving it just inches tall but takes the Troll down to about 6'.)
Anyway, if you have models that aren't at 100% scale with Genesis, just play around with the presets and see what works for your scene. Or, do a set that works for your favorite oversized or undersized Genesis shape. :)

Have a happy holiday season and a good year!
Do these work in DS4 or is this another item I can't use?
And Poser users, yes, there's the .cr2 calling for the included poser script also.
Yes but isn't that so it can be exported with the new D/S exporter/Converter to Poser9 Tool?
Or is it working as a .Cr2 in Poser 7+ without conversion?
Do these work in DS4 or is this another item I can't use?
Probably not but I don't know for sure. Please test them and see.
I made them in DS 4.5 because they were originally going to be part of a commercial product and I wanted to make them compatible with Poser and DS...but I decided to give them away instead because they didn't belong to just one product IMHO. So I never got to the point of testing them in Poser or DS4.
========
And if they work in Poser, with or without conversion, please let others know. :)
I hope they work for everyone who wants them, but I'm not going to apologize if they don't, 'cause it's a freebie. But I can say my next Xmas gift for this giveaway should work for everyone who uses Genesis in Poser, DS4, or DS 4.5.
Happy Holidays!
PS: If "you" (meaning any one of you) are super unhappy that you can't use them in DS4, contact me via pm and I'll tell you exactly how you can make the legacy files (i.e. the presets).
Thank you! Those are sounding useful!
(Microbabies aren't bad either ;) )
Wendy: I looked - they are in duf format, so it's 4.5. Sorry
You are welcome. Hehehe...
When it happened the first time, when I shrank the baby, I had to laugh picturing all those little wee ones terrorizing some poor house cat, dog, or whatnot. lol
Thank you to Aprilysh for the hair and 3DProclivity for the scale presets.
Cool render. Inspiring. Maybe I will find some use for microbaby afterall.
I thought of half a dozen possible renders....right off, but don't have the time to do any of them, right now (heck, I still don't have all of LAST year's items installed...)

Since it says these presets were made for Genesis I'm guessing it's a pretty safe bet they work in DS4 :)
No they don't work as they are in .duf format that DS4 can't read!
Yes but isn't that so it can be exported with the new D/S exporter/Converter to Poser9 Tool?
Or is it working as a .Cr2 in Poser 7+ without conversion?

The scaling will be very useful. Thank you!
