So Glad I Bought All Those VICTORIA 3 Characters!

With the conversion products coming out now - I can use Victoria 3 characters and skins and clothes on Genesis 3 Female. When the Victoria 3 products started to disappear from the stores after V4 came out I bought everything I could for V3. I prefer the V3 faces to anything created with any other figure - the V3 body was terrible, but the faces were beautiful. And the skins - which were probably all made for some old versions of Poser - work perfectly in the latest DAZ Studio - in fact - they work better in DStudio than they did years ago in Poser.

The DAZ V3 Makeup textures are the best I have ever seen. They work beatifully in IRay. Can't wait for the "V3 to G8 Legacy UVs" to come out.
I feel sad that V3 was before my time. I've actually seen some really great V4 textures and wonder why some of the newer textures lack that level of detail. I feel that some of the newer texture artists (not all of course, but some) are relying too much on Iray to make things pretty - some of the newer textures are really kind of flat and lacking the great skin texture detailing that some of the older textures had.
I grab all the ones I can find that are still available and look halfway decent. Danae's in particular are incredible. I've been doing the same with V4 characters. I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon, but I make sure to pick up my favorites just in case. This is doubly true for M4 characters. I've seen a few on clearance at Rendo and make a point to grab them before they're retired.
