Using Michael 4 Textures with Genesis and M5

Hi guys,

Just a quick one I hope.

Am I right in thinking that my M4 textures will work with Genesis and Michael 5? And do they need any kind of tweaking within DS? The reason I ask is because when I use any of the M4 textures I have, they look like they don't fit properly.

Oddly, the V4 textures seem to work fine with V5!

    That's because V4 is the default Genesis map.

    M4 textures work fine on M5 but you have to select M4 mapping under the surfaces tab. Just apply your M4 map, select Genesis with the surface tool, go to the surfaces tab, click the UV dropdown and select M4. You map will instantly fit.

    Can't believe I didn't already know that, but never mind.

    Arrr that explians it. Throughout the betas I was always having to reset the UVmaps on Genesis when the Gen 4 skin sets was used. Haven't tested the latest release yet.

    pity it is not so simple in Carrara 8.5!
    you need to load the figure with the correct uv maps
    (I cannot do K4 but now I have DS4.5 installed I must save a. duf so I can).
