I own six Genesis 8.1 personas including M8.1 and V8.1, but I won't be buying anymore Genesis 8.1 characters. If they do bring out a Genesis 9 and Daz Studio 5 for Windows I am not sure I will be able to move along with them. Apparently, it seems all Daz Studio 4 scripts will have to be re-written to operate with the new API. I have a HUGE investment in Genesis 8 back to Victoria/Michael 3 and I actually use all the generations. If  I have to re-purchase all the script based products I have bought from Daz over the past few years it would be just too much of a re-investment.

Plug-ins will need to be redone. How much rewriting will be required for scripts remains to be seen; it is not inevitable that they will break, but we have been told that some probably will. You would of course be able to test DS 5 alongside DS4, we have been told that they will be separate.

Thank you Richard for that explanation. I appreciate the dilema Daz is in. Progress requires leaving the old behind at some point, but for me this would be a major transition. According a Daz store sort of what I own in plug-ins and utilities, I have over 204 items. Even if I would have to replace only 100 items that is quite a large expense. Especially since many of them are not part of the Daz Original line and therefore always at a higher price point.

Since nothing is written in stone we just have to wait and see what Daz Studio 5 and Generation 9  have to bring to the game. I am very glad that there are bridges for Blender, UE, and Unity.

Just to clarify, I do not mean to knock Daz. The issues I have had with Genesis 8.1 personas, not just teeth, have given me pause about any more investment in that generation.

After I start using Diffeomorphic and the HD addon more seriously, I have some feature requests and questions:

Feature request:

It would be super handy if we could set in the settings of Diffeomorphic the n-panel name.

I use the addon Simple Tabs to reorganize my n-panel, but Simple Tabs can't do anything if an addon adds dynamicaly while using new n-panel categories like Diffeomorphic is doing, when you select n Armature with e.g. Simple IK.

Questions:
It's super easy to add the DAZ expressions and FACS expression with Diffeomorphic, but can we also add somehow the third party expressions, like expressions from products like
https://www.daz3d.com/new-faces--expressions-for-genesis-81-female-and-victoria-81
?
Feature request:
I started creating for all hd expressions vector displacements maps with the HD addon.
Works great bu it's a lot of work and once I would have created them, I have to add them everytime manually in the nodes to use them.
I think it would be super handy if:
- There would be an option to create for all expressions at once the vector displacement maps and store them automatically in a shared folder
- Expressions check if there is a vector displacement maps availibe and if yes, they add them automtically if the expression is used.

Horo, Good improvement on the first one. The second one really takes you in with great speed. And the third one is just very funny!

My first entry: Traveling light. I played with one of the cloudslab scenes by David and Horo, rearranging terrains and modifying the cloud slab, when I thought: "Why not put in some traveling machines?" So I posed Michael and Victoria 4 each on an Ultralight (hence the name) and placed them in the sky above the scene.

@Sevrin and @MimicMolly, thanks, I didn't even see that enormous amount! I will probably delete most of the textures then, plus the references, because I usually use the Backlight Hair Shader by chevybabe25 anyway. It's quite freeing really, now that I found you can actually alter the zips BEFORE installing if you take care of the references as well. Tedious work, for sure, and takes ages, but very satisfying also. And helps my poor overcrowded SSD no end.

The morphs also do add up, with just a quick check I found that the figure morphs alone add up to about 100 MB. Since I don't own any of them except for Victoria, to the bin they'll go ...

I need a good 3D dental surgeon?

I like the TMA Andrea for Genesis 8.1 Female ( https://www.daz3d.com/tma-andrea-for-genesis-81-female ) but I am not a big fan of the teeth.

How can I apply a different set of teeth, maybe the default Victoria 8.1 ( https://www.daz3d.com/victoria-8-1 )?

or

How can I load the Andrea character morphs/textures on to Victoria 8.1 without loading the Andrea teeth?

Would this product solve my problem? Is it only for Gen 8 not Gen 8.1?

Teeth Master Control for Genesis 8 Female ( https://www.daz3d.com/teeth-master-control-for-genesis-8-female )

been looking for a hair similar to this one anyone cauld give me sugestions? If its for genesis 1or  victoria 4 even better but anything is useful

You can use on any char any other skin of the same family. Just pick a g8.1F skin that you like and apply it on Victoria.

Alternatively, you can photoshop the skin to change the parts that you don't like.

 

You can also use G8 on Victoria 8.1

... Hell, you can use G3, because they are the same texture-wise.

Just put the Torso in the Head and Body slots.

Hello, do you know where can I find other skins? I only have Victoria 8.1 with HD and morphs installed

When you are working with Victoria 8.1 you should at least have access to the four available skin materials from the Starter Essentials:

When working with Content Library you can navigate to People/Genesis 8 Female/Materials/Base Materials/Iray you should find:

1. Genesis 8.1 Female Base MAT All Maps A
2. Genesis 8.1 Female Base MAT All Maps B
3. Genesis 8.1 Female Base MAT All Maps C
4. Genesis 8.1 Female Base MAT All Maps D

When working with Smart Content you should find them in Materials/Iray/Feminine/Genesis 8.1 Female/Skin

When you are talking about acne do you mean the visible pores? You could also try to reduce the normal strength settings in the Surfaces pane for the face.

Hello again,

Is there a way to reduce the acne on Victoria 8.1? I would like to have a "cleaner" face skin

Thank you

Hello,

I would like to create old and young people using Genesis 8.1 female (Victoria 8.1 HD), is this possible?

Thank you

There's a lot of great ones.  Some packs have more natural looking expressions, but may still include a few that feel very exaggerated (open mouth smiles often feel like this). I adjust the expressions using the sliders or use other settings (for example, I find some smile expressions don't squint the eyes or cheeks, so I will add that) to make them feel a little less exaggerated. 

I pick from these fairly often.  I have a lot of expression packs, so I tend to mix them when I can.

I had to get a new hard drive so I reinstalled Daz Studio.  When trying to convert my Generation 7 female characters to Generation 8, I'm getting a distorted face.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, even deleted the RSCloneGenesis3Female.obj file from the folder C:\Users\nekur\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\CharacterConverterMorphs, with no change.  The Generation 7 character as well as Genesis 8 load without a flaw.  Here's what I'm getting, attached or from https://www.deviantart.com/wow-creations/art/Converted-920761392. ; I just looked at the parameters for the character I converted, which was Agnes.  It isn't showing an Agnes head or body for 8, just Agnes itself.

The clone is for a different Character Converter.  Maybe it is pulling in the converted morphs twice?  From your previous conversion on the old hard drive and a new conversion?  What directories are specified in the content manager?  You should check all the currently used morphs on the character and find the morphs.  The Parameter Settings show the Asset File Path of the morph (and the [...] button shows the full path of the morph).  Make sure the morphs are coming from where you think they should be coming.

I use two different drives when using software.  I have the OS drive which I replaced and the data drive.  I renamed the original Daz drive as “Daz 3D2 Old”, before installing the Daz Studio.  When installing Daz Studio, I allowed it to keep the “Daz 3D” folder, but also use the new “My DAZ 3D Library” folder.  I just remember to look at the Error Log when loading Agnes Genesis 8 and this is what I’m getting:

Here’s an image of my Content Directory Manager. 

What looks bad in your Content Directory is that you have no user library in the Daz Studio Formats.  That means the character converter would be writing morphs (and possibly deleting morphs if the overwrite option is checked) in the Daz content folder.  You will get bad/weird results from that.  I am afraid you might have hosed your morphs folder at this point.  You need something a user content folder as the first folder in the Daz Studio Formats section.  Then, this folder would be used to write out morphs from the conversions and would not overwrite your Daz content library.

I'm sorry, but from what I can see I have a Content Directory in the Daz Studio Format.  Could you give a step by step solution in solving this problem.  I've used Daz Studio for several years, along with Character Converter, but I think I'm missing something based on what you're seeing and I'm trying to interpret.

Usually what you will see in Daz Studio Formats is something like this:

The SECOND entry points to My Daz 3D Library which has all of your installed content.  The FIRST entry points to all of YOUR content, whether stuff you create or is created for you by converters.  This ensures that everything you create never overwrites the installed content causing problems.  Mostly, Daz Studio treats these two content directories as one big content directory, for example the morphs in D:\Documents\My Daz 3D Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs AND in D:\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs are both loaded and available as morphs for Genesis 8 Females.  However, Daz Studio saves all the morphs and other data ONLY in the FIRST directory when a conversion occurs, ensuring that converted morphs do not overwrite installed content morphs.  However, you are missing that first entry and your converters have been saving into the installed content folder, more than likely corrupting installed content.

I fixed my Daz Studio folders like the image.  I even manually downloaded the converter program and copied the files into my "My Daz 3D Library" folder.  However, I'm still getting the same result, however the male converter program is working fine.  Any other ideas?

What do you mean that you copied the files into "My Daz 3D Library" folder?  What files?  None of the converted morphs should go in there.  I would uninstall and reinstall Essentials so you get back the original morphs from Daz.  Load a figure and make sure it is fixed.  Then with the Daz Studio folders fixed, re-convert and make sure the morphs are showing up in your "My Library" folder and not "My Daz 3D library" folder.

This may or may not be important, I use the Daz Install Manager.  I uninstalled the Genesis 3 and 8 Essentials, converter 3 to 8 female, along with Victoria 7.  I then reinstalled them . Before I tried the conversion on Victoria 7, I removed the morph folder in the "M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\DAZ 3D\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs" folder for Victoria 7.  I also made certain to remove the folder that was created by the converter for Victoria 7 from the "M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs" folder, from my previous conversions.  However, I'm still getting the same problem.  The morphs are going into the "M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\DAZ 3D\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs" folder.  I reset the settings on the converter and I've verified that they are the same for the female as the male (which is working), but I'm still getting the same problem.  It's making me wonder if there are another set of files that need to be deleted, to make this thing work.

When the converter converts something, its morphs will go in M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\DAZ 3D\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs.  However, BEFORE you converted anything, was the vanilla G8F correct?  If not, there are some bad morphs in your installed morphs folder: M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs

I had to get a new hard drive so I reinstalled Daz Studio.  When trying to convert my Generation 7 female characters to Generation 8, I'm getting a distorted face.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, even deleted the RSCloneGenesis3Female.obj file from the folder C:\Users\nekur\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\CharacterConverterMorphs, with no change.  The Generation 7 character as well as Genesis 8 load without a flaw.  Here's what I'm getting, attached or from https://www.deviantart.com/wow-creations/art/Converted-920761392. ; I just looked at the parameters for the character I converted, which was Agnes.  It isn't showing an Agnes head or body for 8, just Agnes itself.

The clone is for a different Character Converter.  Maybe it is pulling in the converted morphs twice?  From your previous conversion on the old hard drive and a new conversion?  What directories are specified in the content manager?  You should check all the currently used morphs on the character and find the morphs.  The Parameter Settings show the Asset File Path of the morph (and the [...] button shows the full path of the morph).  Make sure the morphs are coming from where you think they should be coming.

I use two different drives when using software.  I have the OS drive which I replaced and the data drive.  I renamed the original Daz drive as “Daz 3D2 Old”, before installing the Daz Studio.  When installing Daz Studio, I allowed it to keep the “Daz 3D” folder, but also use the new “My DAZ 3D Library” folder.  I just remember to look at the Error Log when loading Agnes Genesis 8 and this is what I’m getting:

I fixed my Daz Studio folders like the image.  I even manually downloaded the converter program and copied the files into my "My Daz 3D Library" folder.  However, I'm still getting the same result, however the male converter program is working fine.  Any other ideas?

What do you mean that you copied the files into "My Daz 3D Library" folder?  What files?  None of the converted morphs should go in there.  I would uninstall and reinstall Essentials so you get back the original morphs from Daz.  Load a figure and make sure it is fixed.  Then with the Daz Studio folders fixed, re-convert and make sure the morphs are showing up in your "My Library" folder and not "My Daz 3D library" folder.

This may or may not be important, I use the Daz Install Manager.  I uninstalled the Genesis 3 and 8 Essentials, converter 3 to 8 female, along with Victoria 7.  I then reinstalled them . Before I tried the conversion on Victoria 7, I removed the morph folder in the "M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\DAZ 3D\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs" folder for Victoria 7.  I also made certain to remove the folder that was created by the converter for Victoria 7 from the "M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs" folder, from my previous conversions.  However, I'm still getting the same problem.  The morphs are going into the "M:\NZXT Storage\Documents\DAZ 3D\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs" folder.  I reset the settings on the converter and I've verified that they are the same for the female as the male (which is working), but I'm still getting the same problem.  It's making me wonder if there are another set of files that need to be deleted, to make this thing work.

I, in common I asume with many others have spent a lot of money on clothing for various Daz models over the years. There was a time when I loved Victoria, but sad to say the old girl is now very much just that, an old girl and I have moved onto to younger models. First my affections were transferred to Genesis and then G2 and most recently G3F, and I mortgaged my house to clothe all of them ( just kidding ).

Then along came a new and more tempting younger woman and once more temptation is rearing its ugly head. I checked my wallet, empty, so I trawled around finding free stuff for this new woman in my life, but, inevitably the time has come when I have to admit I can no longer keep this very expensive creature in the style to which she is accustomed. 

Its a sad story, but does anyone know if there is any way that I can use the vast and expensive content I have purchased for earlier versions of genesis, G,G2 and G3, with G8 and G8.1 content and also use the limited content i have purchased for G8 with her earlier incarnations...

Look at the 'readme' http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/80093/start

It contains the file list which mentions a script called "Victoria 8.1 Tattoo All - Add.duf"

Ok, so I don't know if anyone has asked this before - and I apologise if I'm duplicating something that's already been answered - but, can anyone tell me where I can find the tattoos used in the Victoria 8.1 promos?
