Genx2 question

Ok, so I have GenX2 with G2F/M addon. When I load it up, I can get Genesis, G2M, and G2F as source...
But, from what I understand, the basic GenX2 was supposed to have V4 and M4 and a few other things... ... soooo... how do I DO that??

Comments
I have a "Load Figure" button just below "Source" - click it and navigate to where the V4 or M4 .cr2 file is, then load that.
Alternatively if you load V4 or M4 into the viewport, you can drag and drop it into the GenX window I think (haven't done it for a while).
From memory there's a 'load figure' button about 1/4 of the way down on the left side that lets you select the source figure.
Aaaaah. Well, poo, I don't think I have a M4 figure, which is going to make THAT harder.
If you do not have M4, do you have any morphs or characters for him? (which would be odd if you do not have M4). If not, then there is no reason to use GenX to transfer the morphs. Back in August the M4 pro model suite was being given away for free, which included M4 and a bunch of content for him. I am assuming you missed out on that.
Duh x9000. Apparently I DO have it. How'd I overlook that... neeeeevermind.
(And as for 'odd to have morphs for a figure you don't have,' well, there's freebie stuff out there... which is what I want to use)
What, you missed the FREE pro hero versions Daz has offered of both V4 and M4?!! You've not been paying attention!
Anywho, hopefully they'll repeat this terrific sale again sometime in the near future. I already had the pro versions of both, but it was nice seeing these sets offered.
Just so it's clear, GenX can't create a morph unless you have it. It won't generate arbitrary V4/M4 morphs for conversion, if that's what you were after.
For Freak 3 you will also need this

I picked up all the base figures for free, I think it was 3-4 years ago when they were giving them away. Some are pretty dated by now, but with tools like GenX and autofit, then the newer models can use their shapes, morphs and clothing. Given the amount of free (and very cheap) content around for these older figures, I am glad I got all the base figures.
Yeah, I'm contemplating whether spending another $20 is worth having access to a few amusing freebie morphs. ;)
