G3M gen mats missing

Hi everyone,
Can't seem to get the Genesis 3M gen mats to work. I purchased the pro edition of M7, but the base Genesis3M doesn't seem to have a gen mat of his own to match the skin he comes with.
Is it deliberately missing? Bugged? Anyone else having this issue? I have the Michael 7, Gregori, Dash, and Aiden, and none of the mats provided match the skin from Genesis 3. Any advice, help, info appreciated!

He probably does not have one, since you have to get a pro bundle to get the genitals... AND since the texture maps are different they had to create a new set for G3Male rather than re-purpose and older texture set as they have in the past. Frankly, I hand't noticed yet. But... you are stating two different things here: 1: it doesn't work, 2: it doesn't exist.
I think its more likely that it doesn't exist.
Linton, the textures are there. The first thing that you do is go into figures in smart content and double click on Michael 7 he appers with Iray skin by default. Now you install the genitals by making sure the M7 is selected and then load genital prop. By default the texture is 3delight version. Go back to Michael 7 base menu in default >figures>people>male find Michael 7 the first gential map is 3delight version second set is Iray they are just not marked or labeled. Hope this helps
Loading the M7, yes, they are there, in 3Delight and in iRay. However, the base Genesis3M does not have them. If I load the G3M itself, it comes with a base skin of its own. That skin, does not seem to have gen mats (despite me having purchased the Pro bundle). The M7 gen mats don't match the Gen3M figure's skin, and I don't want to apply M7's skin to G3M, because it makes him look different.
Yeh I though it was a lot to pay for partial functionality; one of the reasons I returned.
I'll await third party products for the times I need something less emasculated.
That is something I recognized, too.
G2M Genitalia comes with textures for base texture G2M and M6.
But G3M Genitalia comes without textures..... :(
I would also like to know if this is an error or planed so.....
You attach the genitals on M7 and reapply the skin and it works. There is no specific genital texture.
As was explained elsewhere, G2M base just came with the textures that M5 Philip was supplied with, which did have a gen texture anyway, so DAZ had not gone out of its way to create one. G3M can not use Genesis 2 maps, so new ones were created, and I guess they decided the gens were not needed as the base model does not have them.
M7 has a different shape to G3M, so moving the skins back and forth does not solve the issue of missing G3M gen mats. And, to be honest, did anyone actually read what i said in my opening post? G3M is missing Gen mats, M7 mats DON'T match the skin types. G3M and M7 are DIFFERENT, in appearances, AND skin textures.
Paying for Pro versions in the past has always provided Gen mats for the base models, so why are they not there for G3M? And they are not anywhere in the downloads either, despite the Michael 7 Pro Bundle stating Gen mats are provided (which they are, two sets, circumcised and uncircumscised, but nothing for the Genesis 3 Base model, like G1 and G2 had.
I didn't ask about G2M mats being used on G3, instead, I asked why G3M was missing the base ones. The M7 ones don't match, they don't look the same in skin texture or colour.
One of the main reasons I buy Pro versions is to utilise full body materials, ones that cover the entire character without unsightly seams, mismatched skin, or discolouration between attempts to merge the two, and also to save time in postwork by having them match up properly in render is an invaluable tool.
I read your post. And I answered your question and even explained why.
