How does Beautiful Skin Genesis 2 Iray Bundle ( https://www.daz3d.com/beautiful-skin-genesis-2-iray-bundle ) compare with Iray Converter for genesis and Generation 4 Bundle ( https://www.daz3d.com/iray-converter-for-genesis-and-generation-4-bundle ). ?

OK, I know Beautiful Skins is supposed to be for Genesis 2, but the notes say it supports Genesis and V4 UVs. So can I use it on V4 and Gensis figures? If so, what would be the advantage of the Iray Converter?

Also are there any opinions as to which product produces the best result?

Thanks for any help. I haven't used Iray yet but I'm thinking of trying it.

    I don't have the product so I can't try, but my guess would be that it doesn't work: if the material presets are made for G2F they probably use the new surface names, not the legacy ones used by v4 or genesis.

    Beautiful Skin supports the V4 and G1 UVs for Genesis 2 Female and Male.  If you use the V4 and Genesis 1 figures, you want to get the Iray Converter instead.  The Beautiful Skin sets are set up for the new materials setups of the figures for which they're offered.
