One more time with all of the Victoria 8.1 tattoos, replacing the LIE-modified SSS maps with Jada's original SSS maps to mute the tattoo colors.

Used VIctoria 8.1's LIE tattoos, then rolled back the SSS map to Jada's original SSS maps (so the colors are less intense).

Nice! What is that top and shorts? 

daz version: 4.15.0.2

I have victoria 8.1 hd loaded in the scene.

Under powerpose templateset it says Default Generic.  I chose the head.  Aren't there supposed to be more dials or something?

I think those tattoos look really good on her.

All these smile morphs make her face look bizarre. 

I was wondering if any of you guys figured out how to get V8.1 to have a sweet, but sexy & seductive smile? 

There's this ugly line that forms right inbetween the eye and the top part of the cheek when she smiles, it doesn't look good. Thank god for Zbrush, I can fix this with Zbrush, but that means I need to create a Zbrush morph patch for every expression.

Just to confirm, when using Look at me I 1 or II 2 with Genesis 8.1, do we need to disable Adjust Eyelids under option? 

I seem to be getting a problem where Genesis 8.1F/Victoria 8.1F always ends up looking jsut below the camera, maybe it's my custom face. I'll do more tests. Anyone experiencing this?

If I remember correctly, for LAM I, you need to disable "Adjust Eyelids".  For LAM II, it does it for you so you can leave it checked.

I was able to install everything through DIM offline ... but sadly nothing works. DS just crashes whenever I try to load anything into a scene. Even just basic figure like Victoria 8.  I was able to get a prop to load but after a few minutes DS crashed again.  This is really disappointing.  I basically have now spent a lot of money on a very powerful machine that is useless to me.

I am really struggling to understand how no one else seems to be having problems with DAZ on Windows 10.  What am I missing here?

I have also exported Victoria 8.1 via Daz To Unity bridge and got all BlendShapes, that I have choosen in Daz Studio.

Something is probably broken with FBX export.

If you have Poser, then it will probably work, because EmotiGuy is still in Poser format.

Poser has also export as FBX, as well.

I think that's Black Lotus, by Aery Soul (Aeon Soul), no longer available.

edit: I wanted to add, it was a Victoria 4 era item.

Do both objects need to be closed mesh?

I'm hoping I can use this to cut parts off hairs, eg when wearing a hat. Most hairs are not closed though, I think.

Yes, they need to be closed mesh because, by definition, CSG works with solids, so their geometry should be closed  and bounded.

However, the plugin can accept with some open-mesh things. Notice the Toulouse Hair in the Victoria's statue in the first post. But the plugin solidified it. 

She looks like Victoria 7 to me.

There is that glitch where the required products section goes walkabout for a while -- I thought the store update was supposed to have fixed that, so it's probably just an oversight that he wasn't listed in required products.

It is unusual, these days, for a character that depends on a specific shape to be released that far after the shape, unless it's Michael or Victoria. I wonder if Romere has been hanging out in the vaults for a while.

Probably. The SKU is from Holt 8's bundles' time. I presume those numbers are awarded when the product gets the green light.

hello, I had a problem with Cathy HD, daz studio crashed during the operation, now I have dazstdio which crashes no matter what scene I load, it's problematic for me, I would like to go back, j admit not knowing what to do other than reinstall daz studio ... which would not suit me. Someone to help me?

I managed to convert Victoria 7, it crashed with Cathy. these are the only two operations carried out before the tragedy.

How do you create very Shiny Lips / shiny Lipstick on Victoria 4 and Genesis 3 ?

1. How do I convert Genesis 8F characters to the new 8.1 shader?

2. What extra textures do Genesis 8F characters need for the new 8.1 shader? An Occlusion map, correct? Anything else?

Let's say I wanted to convert Leisa 8 to 8.1's new skin shader.  What steps do you forsee in that process?  I'm about to dive into this, but was hoping someone else has already formed a list of what needs to be done, OR BETTER YET, something I can buy that does this entire process for me automatically? 

Here's my current thought process:
- Load Victoria 8.1F
- Replace Head & Body Morphs with Leisa 8.
- Replace all of Victoria 8.1F textures with Leisa 8's textures, however there are some differences, and there's no occlusion map for Leisa 8 that I'm aware of. What else?

Does it have to be a V7 eyebrow, or is a G3F eyebrow o.k. as well?
https://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=fibermesh+eyebrows

G3F is fine as long as it looks similar in style to V7.  V7 has that very sleek, model like eyebrows, as if it was done by a professional, that's what I'm looking for.  Victoria 8.1's eyebrows have high technical quality, but look absolutely terrible with how bushy they are, it's not good.

I was forced to send CJ 8 Eyebrows Zbrush via GOZ, and had to sculpt the brows myself to match V7's style. I wasted 3 hours of time. I would've much rather just spend $25.00, and been done with it.  *sigh*  

I hope a content creator out there seizes this opportunity to make a Genesis 8 Eyebrow mesh that's totally morphable, and can be morphed into MODEL like eyebrows, in which its ends are higher, and can be made thinner.  (Genesis 8 Female eyebrows don't look right IMO, or I could've used those.)

Hmmm, I wonder if I should make morphs for Genesis 8.1 Eyebrows and sell them as a content creator? Hmmm. 

I've seen so many renders where everything looks amazing, but the eyebrows are complete and total fail, because there isn't a good eyebrow solution for Genesis 8 Female.  

Genesis 8.1 F eyebrows are the best damn bushy eyebrows I've ever seen. They are INCREDIBLE in that regard. They are professional in the fact that they capture the very essence of BUSHY EYEBROWS. Hell, they might as well have just forced her to have a unibrow.
