Anyone know what character this is in the Goth Dolls for Aiko 3 promos? Looks like she's in several of Ryverthorn's Aiko 3 product promos.

If its the same as the others then its Sylfie - https://www.daz3d.com/sylfie
It is a Thorne & Sarsa doll though. They were the most popular Aiko3 characters.
Thank you, Matty. It's really hard to tell from the Sylfie promos. I'm finding a lot of these older products have little to no information at all and few pictures. Very hard to tell what's in the products. It's been kind of a neat surprise to actually see newer renders of many of them. Some of them are hidden treasures, and I really do with they would get some updated promo pics, even if they are older items.
One of the good things about the Generation 3 figures (Victoria 3, Michael 3, Aiko e, ect... ) is that they could share character maps so its harder to identify older characters when they are "out of character". And having updated my own promos in the past, I cannot say they were of any bennefit. Though I can tell you that Sylfie renders well in Iray out of the box - https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/275881/
I feel just the opposite. I have a pretty large collection of older generation 3 content and have tried revisiting them in Reality, Octane and Iray and as figures go, they really show their age IMO. new shaders and heavy SubD do help, but the mesh just isn't up to pare.
Luckily older textures can be used on genesis 3 female thanks to Cayman Studios. This thread reminded me I have Sylfie and used to love her years ago, so I had to re-d/l her and give her textures a try on G3F, not too shabby
When I used A3 in december, it was the tech and mesh that made me cringe. I enjoyed using A3 for a good 9 years but I was also very happy to move on to Genesis 2 and now 3 as well.
Once I got the legacy shapes, I transfered a lot of different A3 character morphs over to Genesis with GenX. Can't use the maps, but there are a lot of nice maps available.
I've bought quite a few V4 and alternatives when they are cheap, and have been very pleased with the textures; I tend to keep to at least 3k. They convsion to G3 using jpg is better with higher resolution textures.
I'd be interested in how these convert, but I use a Rendo product; I'm not yet taken the 'plunge' with Cayman Studios.
The Cayman products don't convert textures, they remap the figure to take the new/old UV mapping which is why I use that method over the blacksmith method since converting textures "can" warp or degrade the textures, that and the cost, LOL. I have the V3 to GF3, GF3 to GF2, V4 to GF3, and the M4 to GM3 products and have had no issues with them other than making sure I select all surfaces when changing settings, but that is more of a DS issue than the product. With the added geografts, it can get a little tedious if you plan to edit skin settings often, so I make sure the settings are correct when saving the material preset in the first place.
Oh, wow! Sylfie looks great in these images! I do like how some of them render in Iray. Others look really bad but from what I'm learning, can be tweaked quite a bit. It really is amazing what you can do with them.
@mattymanx - Thanks for the info on the maps. More options is always good.
As for using older skins on the newer figures- I don't have Blacksmith for texture conversion but have had a lot of success with using Anagenessis on the old skins, saving as material presets and then using with Cayman's products. I've had better luck with Gen 4 than Gen 3 with Anagenessis so far, but am working my way through it. My notes are on page 15 of my art thread.
