The return of Genesis 1?

@wolf359 They do export, but they don't export fine since they lose the triax deformations that are replaced by standard weightmaps thus producing the usual deflate effect when bending arms and legs or whatever.

As par for course FBX transfer requiring corrective measures in your importing app........which is why I use.obj/mdd.

@wolf359 Then mdd is for a different purpose. You don't export the character but the animation. That's entirely fine if you don't need to export the character. One way to export G1 G2 fine is to first convert them to G3 G8 then export to blender or maya via the daz plugins. That's because G3 G8 jcms are exported fine, while G1 G2 triax isn't.

Genesis 1, had it's issues, but the gender neutral base is compelling.

Non predominantly male or femaleMonsters, mixing male and female characters morphs, and I find Genesis base child morphs often better than G2, G3 or even G8 most the time.

...one of the main races in my Sci-Fi story is fairly androgynous which works well with G1. The females do not have extended expanded mammaries and trying to get a clean flat chest on G2/G3 without distortion (even using the Breasts Gone morph) is rather difficult because of the chest mesh is designed to accommodate human breasts. 

Granted I don't have to be concerned with transferring between different software, so the Tri-Ax weight mapping is not an issue.

Late to the party, but I do want to mention a couple things about Genesis 1, which I still use most of the time (when I don't use Genesis 1 it's usually because I don't feel like transferring a Mil4 or even Mil3 character.  I rarely use G2 or G3, and I was surprised recently to see how much content I had for them.)

The major races in my stories have much less sexual dimorphism than humans.  When you''re working with a female character that is 6 foot, 250 pounds, with the same muscle mass as a male, male poses often work better than female ones.

When Genesis came out I thought I was going to stick with V4 and M4, but I discovered that just with free morphs that were available in the first few months of Genesis' debut I could easily create realistic 250 pound muscular females that looked better with half an hour of work than I'd ever gotten with months of work using practically every V4 morph pack available.

Genesis 1 males have a lot more clothing options than most male figures get, and Genesis 1 females have a much higher percentage of non-skimpy clothing than most female figures.

I really hated Victoria 6.  Most of the G2F figures seemed so intent on showing off the great body details they had that they looked anorexic to me.  It wasn't until Olympia 6 that I started buying some G2F items.
