    did you try to copy the hips texture and paste it like I mentioned above?  Did you try restarting DAZ Studio?  Do you have Skype?  If so, maybe you can share your screen with me and I can watch what you are doing

    I can copy the diffuse texture from G2M to the seam cover in the Surfaces tab.

    Yes I have Skype - I'll PM you.

    ok, so at least we know it's not something wrong with the uvs on the seam cover or anything like that

    So if I want to save a pz2 file as a duf file, which ?catagory? am I suppose to choose when I save it? It's currently a pose file, but would the duf file be a material or a pose or something else. The file that I am trying to save is a skin texture for M4  that I want to apply to genesis 2.

    Textures always need to be saved as material presets when going from .pz2 to .duf.  The "pose" in that case is actually a material or MAT pose.

    Just wanted to thank you for your help Byrdie!

  • I am haviing trouble getting M4 morphes and genitila to work? I have both the basics and the morphs. What am I doing wrong?

    Just curious, does this work for smart props too or only cloths?

    The autofit clone only works for conforming items.

    Does Michael 4 not work with Genesis 2 male?  I haven't used DAz in a while.  Not since 4.5.  Now I just installed 4.9   I have the Gen 2 male.  I installed the M4 from DIM.. I want to load M4 and use a Gen 2 Centry outfit on him but it's not working.  I know it has something to do with the M4 being a Poser format file. I don't remember it ever being like that.  What can I do?

    Genesis 2 Male products are not natively compatible with Michael 4 products

    The Gen 2 Male with Bodybuilder turned up, is not big enough for what I want to do.  I want the Freak..  Is there no Freak for Gen 2?

    I want to put that Centry outfit on the Freak.  Isn't the Freak a M4 character?   The Gen 2 Bodybuilder isn't big enough and I'm not going for the Minataur look.  Is there a way to get that outfit to fit the Freak?

    Autofit won't put Gen 2 Male clothes on Freak 4. 
     

    Here are some options to get a bigger body for Genesis 2 Male:


    https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-generation-x2 (To transfer, F4 shape over to Genesis 2 Male.)

    https://www.daz3d.com/generation-4-legacy-shapes-for-genesis-2-male (The F4 legacy shape is bigger than the F4 Massive morph that is part of F4...can scale down to 100%...it comes in at 141% scale same with the gen 5 legacy shape Freak shape below.)

    I don't have the swole or massive shapes but I do have the Genesis 4 and Genesis 5 Legacy shapes so thought I'd post a comparison of their shapes. I placed Genesis 2 Male with just body builder shape applied in the middle with each marked above. (Note: The legacy shapes scale up to 141% when the shape is applied via shape tab with slider set at 100%.)  I have scaled them down to 100% using genesis 2 size scale in parameters tab after appling each shape preset at 100% to give you move of an apples to apples comparison with the body builder shape.

    Keep in mind with the legacy shapes you could even mix them with other things...even freak 4 and freak 5...heads can be dialed separate so you could even use body of one and head of the other. :)

    For use Genesis 2 cloth with M4 there are 3 ways

    1.- Buy SY clone to autofit G2M cloth to G1. Save as G1 asset.

    2.- Use Evilinnocense XD4 to tranfer cloth from G1 to M4. A 10$ license for M4 conversion is needed.

    3.- Making  your own autofit form G2M to M4. See Katey thread.

    1 y 2, pay in dollars.

    3, pay in pain
