in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I try to use https://www.daz3d.com/fpe-enchanted-hands-for-genesis-9 on a g8m, but can't make the goeshell textures works correctly using the geoshell from pft magic shaders. Is it possible, and how ?

Thanks for reading

    The surfaces on G9 are different to those on a G8M, so you won't make this work out of the box.

    You might make it work if you bought https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-9-uvs-for-genesis-8-and-81-male and used it to give your G8M a G9 UV. A geoshell based on that figure ought to work with enchanted hands.

    Alt: You don't need to buy any other products. Instead, simply rig a G9 Base with G8M clone dialed to a G8M Base figure, hide the rigged G9, load the geoshell as well as the Material Presets on G9 from FPE Enchanted Hands for Genesis 9 :

    1) Load a G8M Base and a G9 Base. Dial Genesis 8 Male's Clone on G9,  then G8M's Left Thigh Bend > Side-Side to -6, Right Thigh Bend > Side-Side to 6 (screenshot 1)
    2) Rig G9 to G8M with Transfer Utility (Edit > Figure > Transfer Utiliy) (screenshot 2)
    3) Hide G9. Load a geoshell from FPE product to G9, and a Material Preset you'd like (screenshot 3)

    Then customize you G8M with any Character Preset that you want ~

    Thanks for your answer ! I'm afraid using g9 UV doesn't let me using g8 skin, unless I can use UV on geoshell only ? (sorry, I don't even know if it's possible). I need to try the g9 riging methods, at least for learning purpose :)

    Yes, with CaymanStudio's UV product, you can use them at the same time...  The purpose is to adopt UV Set of G9 on the geoshell, so just set G9 UV on the geoshell while still using G8 UV + skin textures on G8 figure.

    Rigging method is a way of utilizing the assets on hand, at most ~~ smiley
