Can MRL Mutations be used on Vicki 8?

I am eyeing this product and would love to use it on V8 if it will work.

Does anyone know if it will?

[Edit] I'm assuming that the geoshell would not be backwards compatable for Genesis 2, correct?

I'm going to say Yes. V8 in the left, G8F on the right. Quick render. I did not use the shells or any of the slick MRL functions. Just selected the character and loaded a skin.

Two renders. Render Studio Pro HDRI is the only light source.

Thanks for testing this out for me!  Is it possible if you could try out the shell to see if that works, too?

The geoshell is an instance of its source figure and has the same UV mapping options and material zones.

Yes. That's why it didn't seem necessary to test.

Thanks everyone!

I was fortunate to get in touch with Mihrelle who also confirmed that the shells will work with V8.  The only problems would be the eye mats, and I will need to convert the eye and fingernail morphs.

That's awesome, I have that as well and am thrilled that it will work.

I have been playing around trying to map the eye settings to Genesis 8, but since the eye surfaces are different from G3, the results are different.  I also tried saving out presets for each individual eye surface which made a difference, but not the results I want. 

Any suggestions?
