Questions for Lyoness and DestinysGarden, if you're still reading this thread:

@Lyoness - I'd be very interested in a cute G3 version similar to LY Jolie or LY Dominique . Any plans for something like this? Also, I really like LY Kassandra and will definitely want to pick it up once you've added the gens textures. I'm afraid that, like the OP, gens textures are a must for me too. Its a shame that G3 has made this difficult for you guys, but unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that some of us consider them a must-have on all characters we buy.

@DestinysGarden - What character is the dark-brunette on the right in this promo image http://www.daz3d.com/dg-up-close-portrait-studio-poses-for-genesis-3-female-s-and-victoria-7 please? I really like her.

There is a Michael 4 Skeleton and Victoria 4 Skeleton - I assume you have something like that as your "skeleton models".

What it sounds like what you are talking about is something known in the 3D world as "rigging". There might be tutorials on this, but that's where to get started I think.

(also a newbie)

1.   Install it to your library folder (My DAZ 3D Library) preferably using DIM

2.   Basically nothing if you don;t have Victoria 4, and very little if you do have V4 but not Morphs++

2.   It should show up anyway whether you have the required products or not, but you may not be looking in the right place.   It will be installed into Poser Formats

Basically, the textrues will work on any Victoria 4, Genesis or anything else that uses the V4 UV mapping.

The character morph, without the ++ morphs will be very different.

If I'm understanding this correctly, V4 Pose Converter for Genesis and Genesis 2 Females makes V4 poses usable on the Genesis and Genesis 2 female figures. So if I buy the Pose Builder (for V4 and M4) I can mix and match my V4 poses (unlimited options) and then using the Converter,  have them for Genesis and Genesis 2 Females. The Pose Builder puts them in duf format. (There's also a batch converter which puts them in duf, but Pose Builder does that and I'll be tweaking one pose at a time and doing duf that way anyway.) 

Was there a V4 Pose Converter for the dudes? Because Pose Builder does V4/M4. 

If I'm thinking about this correctly, you folks might want to look at Pose Builder and the Pose Converter as they are featured and discounted. Anyone use them?

I hope this passes the TOS rquirements.  Naked Victoria (7 mostly with some Massive HD and a bit of Iconic Aiko 6 and The Girl 6 shapes to make curvier) With A Sword In A Sort Of Temple.  Not very good with Iray lighting yet and couldn't the fire planes to emit enough light so popped in four spotlights and realized half way through rendering it should have had a fifth pointning down slightly.

I need to put "Victoria 4 Muscle Maps" on "Genesis 2 Female" so I used

"Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 Female"

and

"V4 Skins Auto Converter for Genesis 2 Female"

I changed the "UV Set" to put the "Victoria 4 Muscle Maps" on "Genesis 2 Female" succeed finally

but

As you can see the screenshots for compare below, the Maps has a little bit distorted on the legs of G2F, so I'm looking for any idea to fix this problem, please show me your idea as details and step by step here!

I'm working on DAZ Studio 4.8 pro (64-bit) under OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

Thanks,

Cao

I'm sure there's a massive typo in the promo text. It currently says "Save now on Victoria 7 animations" but it's linking to V4 animations. Even the URL says V4 ;)

I've noticed sometimes you can get hints at what a new character release is going to be by the flash sales and fast grab sale section currently in fast grab is Aiko 6, Gia 6, Stephanie 6, The Girl 6 and Teen Jayden 6 so that may be hinting that the next G2 male will be another teen as they mentioned there would be another g2 male before michael 7 and they have two G2 Teen girls, and Aiko, the Girl and  Stephanie are besides Victoria their main flagship characters and maybe Gia will become their athlectic mainstay lady though Olympia has been hinted at too. Aiko is a cross between toon/anima and real and the Girl is the main toon girl so maybe that character in Sunny's Tails is a hint at one of those two. Like I said whenever they've released a new character they seem to have older characters related/connected in some way like previous generation in the sales

Texture seams to be default Victoria 7

but she has real dark eyebrows

The animation is created for a diferent character, Victoria 4. Genesis 3 has a totally different skeleton, and that is why the animations made for other characters (V4, G1, G2) will not work for G3. The same is true for poses.

For animations made for G2female character, you can purchase a conversion script: http://www.daz3d.com/animation-conversion-genesis-2-to-genesis-3

Please be aware that even the conversion script will not translate animations perfectly.

As for exporting, to where you want to export? What program?

Hi! Thank you! daz3d in need of unity3d, 3D Max.

Hello!

I fell out of using Daz for the past two months or so, Largely because after a crash, My smart Library stopped working. I double checked all of the directorys, reinstalled all items and made sure the content manager was pointing the right direction. NOw the oddity. My props, Backdrops, light ect all the add onsn work fine even my Michael and monsters, Seems to be only my female Models dont, IE Victoria 7, Summer and Skyler, They all load as Grey human cutouts, kinda blobby.

  Sasha for Victoria 7  again, the closeup. Rendered overnight. Same pose, a different camera angle. I like the teeth, they are not glaringly white and look very natural. As I said, the expressions seem more relaxed than some of the other characters- there's definitely an improvement IMO with Genesis 3.

The animation is created for a diferent character, Victoria 4. Genesis 3 has a totally different skeleton, and that is why the animations made for other characters (V4, G1, G2) will not work for G3. The same is true for poses.

With the recent release in the DAZ store I'm now eagerly anticipating the first NVCIATWAS (Naked Victoria Car In A Temple With A Sword). I'm too lazy (and busy with other stuff) to do one myself.

This is Backyard Retreat   which I think would be cool to link to Green Backyard Garden.  Sasha for Victoria 7 is the gal and one thing I noticed was the Expressions (under Actor in Parameters) work very well on her. You know how some can look dorky? The ones I tested were pretty natural.  It's Mane Hair and City Chic clothing. 

The clothing is for Genesis 2 and easily fit Genesis 3, and the hair is for V4 and Genesis 2 and also easily fit. Please note, from now on, with the ease of posting links, I am NOT going to be writing out these ridiculously long titles anymore. If you like the product, there's the link, you'll see the lengthy title. If it's for a different generation I will tell you, aka, like I did for this one.

Invited Guest Contributors, feel free to do the same thing. With these "For Genesis 2 Female(s) stuff then Victoria 4, and Genesis 3 Female(s), enough is enough. Provide the main part of the product (the most easily identifiable) and that's good enough (with the link of course.) 

This render went for seven hours because I wanted a good one. Those are Macleans  Everyday Drinks and they are AWESOME with Iray, you don't do a thing except render! 

DSON is a Daz Studio product that will export Daz only models (like Genesis) for use in Poser. You can get it here: http://www.daz3d.com/dson-importer

BTW: I also user PoserPro 2010 (I have the latest version, but am not yet using it). It is a very good program and I wouldn't say it has a "better" renderer, but it definitely is different and -- as such -- the images it produces do look a little different from Daz Studio.

One of the main things I use it for is to set up content that has been created for Michael 4 and Victoria 4. Sometimes I get a free outfit or prop and, although Daz Studio will load it, it doesn't do it perfectly. For example, I recently set up a Dr. Doom character for M4 that I downloaded from Sharecg.com. Cool looking outfit with the mask, armor, etc. But in Daz Studio I couldn't get the mask to load properly to his face. It loaded at about 90 degrees and it tried to conform to his head, so I couldn't adjust it manually. It gave me fits for about an hour until I popped it all into Poser and it loaded instantly without any problems. I even saved the file and then opened it in Daz Studio and -- because everything had already been placed correctly -- I didn't have any more problems. I also used it to quickly set up an Apollo Maximus figure and Poser had no problem parenting the guns to his hands (Daz Studio did have problems -- the guns would appear about a "foot" from his hand and it was too troublesom to move them around because, once parented to his hands, the normal x-y-z transform dials didn't work).

Additionally, Poser has a sketch renderer (the newest one has a cartoon renderer, which is different from the TOON renderer). It also has a built-in hair and dynamic cloth simulator.

I also use it for other scenes and certain types of renders (wish I could be more specific, but it's an artsy thing -- sometimes I just want the way things look in Poser, so I use it). I also think it's more stable than Daz Studio (no offense, guys!). I can load larger scenes and zip around inside of them without my system creaking to a veritable crawl. Finally, though, keep in mind that Genesis is a Daz product and it works best with Daz Studio. If you want to leverage a lot of older content, Poser Pro is a great investment. If you've sunk a ton into Genesis figures, you might find that D|S is the way to go.

BTW: There is a low-cost version of Poser you might want to look at, if you just want to explore the UI and get a feel for the program: http://store.smithmicro.com/productdetails.aspx?id=17194 

Good luck, and poke around the forums for more on DSON. I'm pretty sure it's been covered before in detail.
