Texture from V4.2 to G3M

abiflash

Can someone please explain to me how I can apply a V4.2 face texture to a G3M character?

There is this product for G3F, but don't know of one for V4 to GM3

This would do the trick: https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-uv-swap-male-and-female-base

Even if you use the product that changes the UVs to V4?

I'm trying it now, and maybe not. I have the V4/G2 to G8 versions, and the step that would need to happen in order for it to work across genders is map transferring to the standard G8 (or, in the OP's case, G3) UV, and I don't know how to do that with the geografts.

Use map tranfer to convert V4 to M4. Then you can use Legacy UV M4 product for G3M

I'd use Blacksmith Pro or Texture Transformer from rendo to transfer to G3F; you could then use UV swap to get from G3F to G3M. I transfer all my textures that way, with the exception of UV swap, which I've never done.

No, it wouldn't. The legacy UVs product doesn't transform a V4 texture into a G3F one, it modifies G3F so she can wear V4 textures.

At Rendo there's a wonderful Prae clown outfit: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/prae-clown-costume-for-g3m/123378/ and as a face texture is used in a G3M character a texture of another wonderful product of Maddelirium: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/mdd-my-little-dolly-for-v4-2/107159/

My question is: how do you do that? Thank you all for your answers, but I'm still not clear on how it's done. I've contacted Prae via Rendo, but I still don't have an answer.

Here are 2 rather simple options:

• Use Map Transfer in DS to transform the V4 texture into a M4 one (use G1 as the transfer figure, it has both M4 and V4 UVs), then use the "M4 legacy UVs for G3M" product to use the M4 version on G3M
• Use Texture Transformer (sold at Rendo) to transform the V4 texture into a G3F one, then use the UVs swap product to use the G3F texture on G3M.

Thank you, Leana! I want to try the first option. I just need to know what steps to take to use Map Transfer from V4 to M4.

There's a tutorial about using map transfer here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/184696/tutorial-from-map-transfer-to-material-presets/p1

It was made for a transfer between various G3F UVs, but it should be roughly the same with the following differences:

• Use Genesis 1 as the transfer figure as it has both V4 and M4 UVs
• You will need a template for each of the texture files the figure uses, so for V4/M4 you have one for the face, one for the torso and one for the limbs, not a different one for arms and legs

There was a product doing V4 to M4 transfer more easy, but it is not active just now in the store:
