? Genesis 2 Character UV Matching Guide ?

Genesis 2 characters do not all use the same UVs.  Has someone compiled a guide for which character texture maps sold in the Daz store match which UV sets?  

It would be very helpful to know which ones match the base G2F and base G2M sets, and which ones don't.

    Generally under What's Included towards the end, it will list what UV map the textures are for. If the character is on a base figure (like Aiko or Victoria) that has a special UV, that is the UV most likely used on the character.

    I compiled this list for Genesis 2 Female a while back which you might find useful:

    its the ones with their own UV's that annoy me, that generation was plagued with that practice 

    the backlash ensured it was not repeated later, short of using map transfer or repaint some skins only fit one character's UV so could not be used on genesis or your geofraft product in DAZ studio either or easily mixed with others in layers or using different bump maps like I often do

    Thank you, @CaymanStudios.  That is very helpful.  Saves me a lot of time.

    @Wendy_Carrara -agree.  I do get why having dedicated uvmaps is better under some circumstances, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages

    They can be converted to Base Female (or Male); I do this before transfering those I need to G8.

    I think DAZ once had some kind of UV chart on their site, but I can't find it.
