Got a question about Sachra's tail.

TSasha Smith

I got a question about Sachra's tail from the Victoria 7's Sachra HD.  https://www.daz3d.com/tara-sachra-hd-for-victoria-7

Sachra has a nifty looking tail.  My question is how is the tail made?  Geograft or conforming?  Why I ask is that I was wondering if her tail can be used on other figures?

Says its a geograft in the details.

In the part I forgot to read of course.  Now for a hopefully stupid question, will G8F work in the same scene as Victoria 7's Sachra? Basically can I use two different generations of Victoria in the same scene?

The geograft should work fine on any G3F. If you deviate from that, to G3M or G8F etc, then the base geometry won't match up at the graft points and it won't graft properly (you'll see the edges).

And yes, you can render a Vicky 7 and a Vicky 8 within the same scene without problem. It's just the Sachra tail will fit perfectly to the Vicky 7, no idea whether it's even possible to use a G3 geograft on a G8 character on the other hand. The UVs are nearly identical, but that's the problem, that the word "nearly" is still there.

Let me rephrase my question, could G8F and G3F look fine in the scenes together?  Or would they be like real actresses who fight. 0.o I mean would the technological differences be obvious if G8F is in the same scene as G3F, or it is no big deal?

 

I know the difference will not be like Victoria 1/2 with G8F, but still.

Silas3D was kind enough to demonstrate how to use the Laguna Mermaid Tail on G8 in this thread; no reason to think it wouldn't work on the tail in question here.

I'll have to try this because I've been trying to transfer Twi'lek for G3F to G8F and was sad that the lekku graft didn't work right. Not Lekkulion...this one is from another place that was only put out for G3F.

Should answer your question...G8F on the left, G3F on the right...both same character (G3F was the original) - 

The biggest difference between G8F and G3F is that G8 has much more (and better) facial emoting capabilities. Everything else is pretty much the same considering you can get nice bend morphs for both, so even that difference can be rendered moot. If it wasn't for the superior emoting, I wouldn't have felt the need to transfer all my G3 characters to G8.
