Is Ophelia 7's textures compatible with Genesis 8?

  Ophelia 7 has custom UVs, which G8F doesn't support by default.
  However the shape is not particularly extreme so they may not be that different from the base UVs.

  You can get this to use all Daz O G7 skins on G8 https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-character-uvs-for-genesis-8-female

  You can also convert them using the Map Transfer on the surfaces Tab - right click it; it takes a little time, so the few dollars is worth it, I'd just converted all I had by the time it came out.

  I opened both UV maps in photoshop and there's barely any difference.

  I don't see any seams in my renders. I'm rendering from all angles between the torso, arms, face and legs, but I don't see any seams.

  The Ophelia 7 maps seem to work perfectly with Genesis 8 despite the 0.03% difference in UV map edges in some areas.

  EDIT: I was wrong. There are definitely seams, but they're subtle.  If you try to use Ophelia 7 maps with Genesis 8 Female, you'll get seams.  If you want to fix those seams in photoshop, then do this: Overlay Ophelia 7 texture over the Genesis 8 texture (whether it's bump, sss, or whatever), then use the clone brush to draw over the visible seams, you'll see them, look along the outer edges. This might still cause seams if you're not careful, so try to use the very edge when using the clone brush. Don't try to clone an area where the coloring is vastly different.
