Re: Using Legacy Genesis 2 UV for Genesis 8.
Verdict:Total horror show.
Goal: Determine if the script is available on a single click option.

Full Stop: Age of Armor's Advanced Lights do not function in 4.10 at all. Such a critical component of my tools I will not work without.
Thank you, all, for the help and advice.
They do! Re install the AoA stuff;)
I still bounce between Genesis generations regularly. While I do prefer the additonal posing nodes in Genesis 3 and 8 (thinking torso and neck here), the one thing I never did understand is why we have arm/thigh bend and arm/high twist as separate nodes. As far as I can tell, they both do exactly the same thing/both have bend, twist, and side to side sliders. I guess I could understand if one twists from the 'top' of the bone and the other twisted from the bottom, but I'm not seeing any difference. This seems like extra nodes for no gain to me.
I will say that working with V3/V4 era figures seems harder than working with Genesis era figures, so I tend to use pre-Genesis figures sparingly. For celeb lookalikes, etc. and new Poser figures, yeah I'm still buying V4 figures every now and then.
From the screenshot it looks like you have applied the UVs without first running the Prepare script which loads the geografts and recalibrates the surfaces, among other things. A one-click solution is not possible, I'm afraid.
It was, when using legacy uv with genesis/G2 I do not recall using a script, just altering the surface options. I posted as I was getting ready to leave and had to stop playing in DAZ.
Will do. I saw yoor helpful post in Nuts/Bolts thread as well (which I opened since I figured that was a tech matter for DAZ studio and not Genesis 8 related at all).
Thank you very much.
Short answer:
Due to the change made in G3 and G8 it's not possible anymore to just provide alternante UVs like for G1 or G2.
Long answer:
Genesis and G2 had the same material zones as V4 and used the same number of texture files, with "texture change" roughly at the same place. G3 and G8 don't, they use UDIM mapping, have very different material zones, and the mesh is quite different too.
To use previous generation textures in G3 you would need alternate UVs for G3 mesh, of course, but that would not be enough: due to how the texture are split, if you just did that you would end up with a few material zones where you would need to use parts of 2 texture files to cover the zone, which wouldn't work. So you also need to redefine material zones so each zone uses only one texture file.
Problem is, G3 mesh doesn't have edge loops at the right place for that. That's why Cayman Studio's products include geografts: they add the needed polygons and material boundaries, and alternate UVs for "G3 meshh with geografts" to use the textures.
Genesis 8 is terrible, in terms of parity. Its not worth investing in, if you do mainly stylized art. Unless you do almost nothing but females.
I beg to differ.

Noob question -- I tried to put genesis clothing and a toon clothing item on genesis 8, it did not fit and did not follow the pose. is there a workaround/? I was under the impression that gen 8 could accomodate all previous clothes and props... doesn't seem to be true
I have not moved to G8 yet. I still work with G2 with gene pools from Generation3 and Genesis 3. I can tell you, I will eventually move to G8. The commecial products I've seen with G8 are a huge improvement in the facial features over previous generations. However, the move is just not feasible for me money wise at this time..
I agree that there are some high quality characters coming out for G8 and I only wish it were possible to transfer some of those characteristics between generations. However, even if the process discussed in threads in this forum for transferring morphs between G3 and G8 (and vice-versa) is effective, I believe that the high quality comes, in part, from the HD sculpting on these new models and that HD is not transferrable. At least that is my understanding, please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
It overwrites old beta versions; beta and release run side by side.
I concur.

Hello Can You Tell Me Which assets you are using in order to work in 3delight egine i am new to daz and started with 3delight due to lack of nvidia gpu,
Since you are experienced in 3delight , it will be helpful if you can guide me I want to create some comic with some realistic feellings bit like iray.
I have created some renders while learning. Thses two are my latest renders .
In First Lips Color are not expected and second
, I am not able to get sperm color as expected ( its looking like white spots )
I am using Genesis 8 models .
