Thanks for the gift. 
I love all your creations, starting from the ones for Victoria 4-Alice. <3

Thanks, all. I found a script called Wardrobe Helper (WH). It is brilliant and helps with part of my problem. It scans a figure and stores all clothes, the gens (also GP), the hair, ... Then, to restore the actor in a scene, you load the figure, e.g. Victoria, and use the WH to quicly load everything. That way, you just need to connect the render to a scene name and use the same name in the WH file system. Sonja, you might use this to get rid of some paper.

Incidentally, if you purchase WH and get frustrated that WH isn't seeing the hair of the model, you have to go to Filter and uncheck "Use Word". I'll post this separately also.

Happy New Year!

Thanks!  I'll have to check it out.  Happy New Year!

Right ~ V4.x has no general weight mapping, it can neither detect morph deltas nor rig objects with Transfer Utility. You can firstly convert it to General Weight mapping before creating morphs with MLP or rigging with TU... however, converting to general weight will destroy V4.x to certain extent ~~

So, one of my alternatives was to convert V4.x figure into G8F.... by using V4 Clone (https://www.daz3d.com/sy-victoria-4-and-michael-4-clones-for-genesis-8). Then making things on the converted ones.

Since tomorrow is the last day (maybe) of the holiday sale, I splurged a little bit more on this one:

I got that book too. It had a lot to do with me joining the forums. I got into my first argument over how I had paid for Victoria 4 with the book but the DAZ store expected me to buy Victoria 4 again to get the upgrade to Victoria 4.2. Or something like that. The book also had a lot to do with the first time I got a post deleted because I recommended to somebody to not buy the book, on the grounds of it being a scam or racket. Or something like that. I'm typing this on a phone. I'll bet the auto correct has managed to sneak something crazy into this post.

they honored my ownership of Carrara 7 with it for  upgrade to 8

That goes back a ways!    2002 per Wikipedia.  Reminds me of the old days with NVIATWAS ...

Is this the right thread or should I start a new one? For those of us who don't use 3DL at all and never have, is there any way to remove the 3DL assets that are redundant with IRAY assets in my library? For me, they've always been a waste of disk space.

You'll have to do it manually AFAIK and if you're using Smart Content, it'll create broken links for every 3DL related .duf file removed.

I'm not sure it's worth the hassle, considering .duf files related to 3DL will likely not be the main source of disk usage by any product, compared to the textures and the geometry. I checked with Gwennili for Victoria 7: the whole product once installed is using close to 1 GB of disk space, among that total, only 6.6 MB are taken by files related to 3DL Materials presets.

Thank you Steve :-)
Yes, great novel indeed!

Oh, I forgot to mention that the Xmas Tree with Tinsel Carrara Format is by our Diomede.

Glamorous Vicky 3

The poses are modelled by GV3 wearing Jim Burton's Glamorous Vicky Calendar Girls Bikini and Jim Burton's now unavailable Las Vegas Hair. Due to size restrictions, the poses are split into 01 to 05 and 06 to 10. GV3, being 5 generations older than the pose source I used (G8F), required the most work after pose conversion, but seems to work well with the poses. It might be amusing to see what is the previous most recent freebie V3 pose set released. It's probably a few years ago.

Regards,

Richard.

Genesis 3 Female.

The poses are modelled by Victoria 7, wearing Hongyu's Bikini 1 for G8F and Linday's dForce Wet Hair. Due to size restrictions, the poses are split into 01 to 05 and 06 to 10.

Regards,

Richard.

I have added more generations to the available range of underwater poses. There are now G3F, G9 and Glamorous Vicky 3 (Jim Burton's beautiful re-work of Victoria 3, known from now on as GV3). These are available in the following three posts. There are 38 renders for the poses for each generation, then a further four for the promo image. There are 10 poses, 8 of which have mirrors, and a zero pose for each generation.

Regards,

Richard 

I missed out on getting a giant bundle for $5 using the Christmas code with other items because I thought it would work with the DAZMAS coupon, turned out it doesn't work now because the MSRP is higher than the $50 limit (I misinterpreted it as the current sale price, which was $47) and it is one of only two DAZ original items in my wishlist - the other being the Victoria Makeup set which is also not working with the DAZMAS coupon for reasons I do not know. I'm probably going to not be able to use this coupon in the end.

I can't complain, I just bought a ton of stuff for a fraction of what it originally cost - but DAZ sales really are a pain in the butt. They really should not be so complicated.

Trying to install daz victoria 4.2 into a windows11 machine running poser13.  Everything installs, although maybe into the wrong directory, though both the base morphs and the ++ morphs do/will not appear in the parameter window and thus are not usable.   What am I missing, or doing wrong ?  Any advice is most welcome.

Today’s 3.99 sale for 8.1 items (coupon code STOCKING-3 ) is wild… I picked up some big bundles:

• Kola 8.1 Mega Bundle
• Michael 8.1 Campus Life Bundle
• Necromancer 8.1 Mega Bundle
• Arcadia 8.1 Pro Bundle
• Victoria 8.1 University Bundle

Be sure to check the items in your cart before adding the coupon. I had one item that, without the coupon, was cheaper than the 3.99 price, but jumped up to 3.99 when I added the coupon (I bought it separately to get the lower price).

You talked me into the Kola bundle. I'm not doing anything with G8/8.1 anymore, but for $3.99, there's plenty in that bundle that I might be able to use somewhere.

the hair, clothing autofit G9 for the most part. The poses can be converted over to G9 as well, maybe only with 3rd party software, but I have a feeling that probably can be manipulated from within DS without additional products

thats a DSON importer Poser file for Poser up to 11

you need the DAZ Studio duf file not the cr2 version 

GenX only supports DAZ legacy cr2 figures like Victoria 4
