Hello,

is there a way to make the AFE have the same skin of the rest of the body ? I mean the  color otherwise there is like a border with the change of color near the neck ...

I'm sorry if it's just been asked, the forum is pretty long...

thank you 

Yes. You can select the AFE attachment and load the same texture file you applied to the figure.

Or if you've made some skin texture adjustments, (or as with my install of Victoria 8 it is a hierachical materials preset)...

Open the surfaces tab, select the Face, Lips, Ears, and Torso of your G8 (Ctrl+Click to select more than one item)

Right click over the adjustment sliders, and copy selected surface(s).

Select the same Face, Lips, Ears, and Torso of the AFE attachment.

Right click over the adjustment  sliders. this time paste to selected suface(s).

This is one of my favs but as @JOdel has mentioned it's V4 so might be difficult to convert without one of Riversofts excellent pieces of kit... https://www.daz3d.com/glad-rags-for-victoria-4

I wouldn't bother converting it I'd just parent it and dforce it;' its what I did here using a Poser dynamic made for Dawn.

Ensley done growed up.

That was fast.

That's what she said.

What's interesting is that this PA has their own characters that they could have used for these promos but they used this one. I believe they were trying to make a point. <.<

Shoulders!

Also, I have said this before but I am not sure if BJ was around, the bluejaunte gloss maps are very versatile and absolutely do work on with other skin textures. Almost universally. I have been preaching this for a while now, and hopefully I have converted a few non believers along the way. Believe in these textures people! There are people who use them with their own textures to make unique tones. I have baked a set to match the male UV, and I have used them some, too. This is Victoria 8 with Nadya gloss maps. She still looks like Victoria, but you can see how the gloss maps are working with the light. If you look at the chin, you should be able to recognize your texture, but it blends in nicely.

Ok, after further experiments i have an idea what happened.
-
I now think that my mistake was that i injected morphs after i loaded Aiko. However, i should have not done that!

The thing is, when you load Aiko 3 (not LE or blank, full one), it already has aiko 3 morphs loaded with it! So after loading Aiko 3, i must not go to aiko morphs library folder and inject morphs, but instead go straightly to injection of desirable character for Aiko 3.

-

So i think, what happens, is that i load aiko morphs TWICE, so it causes such problems.

Of course i make this mistake because i get used to how Victoria 4 works - with V4/A4 you always inject morphs (plus plus, aiko4 etc.). 

While it looks like that with previous generation, it's already loading with figure.

-

Or maybe it's just how Aiko 3 works, haven't tested Michael 3/Victoria 3/Stephanie 3 for same situations.

It's just Aiko (maybe Hiro also) that have their morphs preloaded.

I agree.

Of course I'm struggling to find these pose sets and I think they should have been linked directly in the description above.

Not so sure about this last one. My browser extension says arrival day March 25th for all of these products so I think they must have been related.

Just curious butwhat is the added value of making this character not compatible with Genesis 8

To me (and maybe im wrong) this is bad because nothing works out of the box. Every other asset/hair/clothing/etc. risks needing soem extra fiddeling to make right.

He did Leon which is a good looking teen and said he would make more assests which never happened (as far as i can see)

So why would I go for a character like this?

All poses for Genesis 8 will work fine with this guy out of the box, maybe with some minor tweaks, as for all custom Genesis figures.

Well i dont count poses as in 99% of the cases they always need some tweaking. Every figure has a different height so Michael 8 and victoria 8 shaking hands may work out of the box but when you switch to monique 8 the arm pose needs some tweaking. I understand that.

But im talking more about clothing and hair.

I understand he goes for a different look and that I respect. I just try to understand why he puts so much time and energy in a character that is potentially so limited in what you can do.

And to clarify i am not trying to hate or bash on your product. There are PA's out there who make characters that all look the same or sisters and that's fine.
But im just wondering if you can have Vlad look like Vlad with the G8 as a base making your product way more (and easier) compatible with all the great stuff that is out there.

Genesis are awesome, but they don't give me the creative freedom I need.

If a morph is dialed in {i.e. the victoria body morph}, then the donor needs to be "current" and the option to 'reverse from shape' {or whatever the exact wording is} is selected.

After making the clothing, do not reapply the fit to option causing it to be parented. Sometimes I have found that premature parenting causes the fly over the head result. Save the clothing, then reapply the fit to with parenting, then resave the clothing.

Are the character you are using the base character, e.g. G8F Base?

If so, try to show your transfer rigging settings.

i think i might actually have the victoria "body" morph dialed up. will that cause a problem?

Speaking only for myself, the bundle and the character are related but separate issues.  I judge the character based on whether it will add to the pool of "actors" for the "cast" of my 3D dramas and comedies.  Most Daz3D numbered characters (Victoria 8, Michael 7, David 5, Aiko 6, etc) are designed to be lead actresses and actors.  Yay, two thumbs up for lead actors and actresses.  There is a reason they usually get paid more than supporting actors and actresses.  But my 3D dramas and comedies need character actors and actresses as well.  I need some Thomas Mitchels and Thelma Ritters.  Thus the common complaint late in the figure cycle that we don't "need" another 20-something female hottie.  The occasional Floyd 8 or Mrs. Chow 8 is most welcome. 

But I feel no urgency to evaluate or buy the characters models during the release sales.  They are often included in later "Daz Content" sales.  If I like Mrs. Chow for her contribution to my cast gene pool, but don't like the rest of the bundle, I can delay purchase of the Mrs. Chow figure with little regret.  I can get her in a future sale.

The bundles are different to me.  The bundles sometimes offer a good discount compared to what can be gotten later.  They also sometimes have a theme for the next drama or comedy to be produced.  But the bundles can come with stuff I don't anticipate ever wanting.  Its not worth it to get useless stuff at a steep discount.  On this, everyone's tastes and needs differ.

During the introductory period I judge the newest bundle release by what the marketing department has bundled with it, and what the sales department has allowed me to add in as part of the purchase or at steep discount.

Lest we forget the first of the "couples" creators Aeon Soul started way back when Victoria was 2 or 3 and called themselves Aery Soul then Alfaseed and maybe something else thrown in there before settling on Aeon Soul. I have dressed all the Vickies 3 and 4 and now the Genesis girls with the finests duds from these two since 2005.

If they ever run out of ideas perhaps they need to revisit the oldest for up date. For instance Ye Sheng Yu and Seven Seas. And let us not forget Alice, their free moph for Victoria updated at least through version 5.

They were Awful Soul for a brief period :)

And Alice has never been free (though it's possible the body morph was made a freebie (without the head) at one point iirc).

:)  also is it worth buying the new gen8 models if i have them in gen2? IE stephanie 6, victoria6, and olympia6?

Depends. Stephanie 8, Victoria 8, and Olympia 8, look nothing like their G2F counterparts. If you invest in the character converters, there's no need to buy the G8F ladies unless you like their look too.

Also easier to get at the PC+, FG, and Freebies pages

The old store is still better regarding those items due to the addition of some unnecessary elements. 

freebie page: has a large image of Victoria at the top. You have to click on a link or scroll down to see the freebies.

FG: again an image at the top

PC+ page: AGAIN unnecessary images. The top of the page tries to sell you on PC+ membership. The middle one contains new PC+ releases. The bottom has the PC+ freebies most people care about. The old store was way better.

I guess I miss the simplicity of the old store. That was great if I'm trying to check the store on my phone due to mobile data caps.

I guessed that it was Zelara 8 skin (translucency 97), Gia 8 HD body with Bodybuilder details under Victoria 8 or Olympia 8's head and the breasts/nose/lips plumped.

For example, I bought Victoria 7 but creating high-quality rendered image of her is too difficult for me (I am not an artist).

let's not bring deceitful marketing topic into discusstion and assume that my game has the same quality of the characters as in promo images of Daz website. 

You contradict yourself.

First you say you are not able to create the same quality images and afterwards you say your game has the same quality.

Just commision an artist to do a few screens for you (that you can also use in your game) and than problem solved and also no decitful marketing involved.
