Saving Character Preset: Eyelashes Problem...
For the lashes you too would need to save them as a material preset that could be applied separately. If, indeed, you do have a character from the store that loads everything, I would be interested in which one since, as I said, all of those I have do not.
I just tried loading a few characters at random from their Actor presets, and most of them loaded the lashes texture, although a few didn't.
Characters that loaded with their custom lashes texture:
Victoria 8, RY Caprice, Mousso Albany, Syble HD.
Characters that loaded with the default G8 lashes texture:
BJ Amira, BJ Lyra
So it's certainly possible to save an Actor preset that'll load the correct lashes, but I've no idea how.
Converting Aiko/Genesis Figures to Gen 8AikoToon 4 is indeed based on Victoria 4. Aiko 3 is a totally different figure, from the same generation as Victoria 3.
There's no product which will enable you to convert characters from V4, A3 or G1 directly to G8. You could convert the morphs to G3 then use your G3 to G8 converter to move them to G8 though.
To convert character morphs from V4, A3 or G1 to genesis figures up to G3 you would need GenX2 and its various add-ons:
- Base program: https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-generation-x2
- Aiko 3 add-on (required to convert A3 morphs): https://www.daz3d.com/genx-addon-gen3-for-a3-and-h3 or it's part of https://www.daz3d.com/genx-addon-gen3-bundle
- Genesis 2 and 3 add-ons (you need both to convert to G3): https://www.daz3d.com/genx2-addon-for-genesis-2 and https://www.daz3d.com/genx2-addon-for-genesis-3
Textures are more complicated.
For V4 textures the product otherunicorn linked will work.
There's no product to use Aiko 3 textures on G8F. There's one to use them on G3F (Aiko 3 uses the same textures as Victoria 3), but it won't help if you want to convert to G8F.
For Genesis 1, it depends which UVs the textures use.
Barbie doll body maker!!(niples and gens remover)to be clear and some peoples are not missunderstand my request, i'm not talking about "true barbie doll body, i means plastic or rubber made bodie,. that is not the case i means which i want a way to remove niples, pub hair and gens from the already existing skins like for exemple victoria 8 material, i means make the bodies be like the genesis 1 and genesis 2 bodies, both of then don't have any niples or gens or pubic hairs on they bodies, they are "doll" style bodies but still "realistic style skin, this is what i want, not a cartoon or anime or plastic or rubber doll, body for exemple like sakura 8 body anime body, i want a way to get any of the existing bodies materials and "remove" they gens, niples or pub hairs, but still looking like a realistic body, it's just to help with censoship, i know which i can try that using the photoshop but it will be really a lot of work to have adjust for all that, then would be cool to have a tool which would do that.
"If you want to get rid of brows, nipples, gens, but keep skin details. Make copies of the Figure's Surface Maps (as to not destroy the default maps) rename, and in a photo editor llike Gimp, Affinity, or Photoshop use heal brush, blemish removal brush, or paint over the undesired areas. This needs to be done on the base, displacement, glossy, specular, or any of the avalible maps with that undesired marking. Replace the default maps with the edited ones in the figures surfaces tab. Save as a material preset. (nipples and gens are on torso maps)"
The Nips and Gens are on the torso maps. It's alot less work than you think or than it even sounds. Once you have the new maps on you can adjust colors to make multiple skin tones and save those skintones out if you wish.
However, if you load another characters materials surface maps to change color or markings (wrinkles, moles, etc) then you have to do it again for those torso maps as well.
Converting Aiko/Genesis Figures to Gen 8There are a few videos about that are meant to help converting, but to be honest, I was never able to get their processes to work.
Getting the mats across, however, is easy using https://www.daz3d.com/legacy-uvs-for-genesis-8-victoria-4 . Note that some distortion occurs so a little modifying of the mats may be needed.Converting Aiko/Genesis Figures to Gen 8Hello all,
My end goal is to get Aiko 3/4 and other genesis figures to Gen 8 Female.
I have the Gen 3 to Gen 8 conversion tool (and Gen 8 to Gen 3).
Could someone explain what process and models I need to get the figures to Genesis 8?
Here are the products that I want to convert:
https://www.daz3d.com/3d-universe-aikotoon-4
https://www.daz3d.com/aiko-3-0-base
(Anything Genesis 1)
Please let me know what products I need. For example, for Aiko, I'll need Victoria 4.2 base, right?
It would really help to get some advice. I'm going for the 'old videogame character' look for my art.Thanks!
Help Log warning error + DuplicateDuck lips and pointy nose are down to a character that has been saved with a non-zero default value, it has nothing to do with the log entries. I think there is a freebie known to do this - check the Currently Used list in the Parameters pane with the figure selected.
That's the issue I'm opening Victoria from product list not from a scene save or figure saved there shouldn't any save modifications and it only happens with genesis 8 females not the males or any other genesis figure
Yes, that's the way it works - if the morph is saved with a non-zero deault then it wil load non-zero in any file containing that base figure, unless the property has been explicitly set to zero in the file. You need to identify and either fix or remove the problem property.
More Non-photorealisitic Renders (NPR II)Just something quick - I've not been very active again for a while. Mostly real life stuff but then I turned to expanding my Poser Runtime with conversions of Genesis and Genesis 2 figures and accessories. This last couple of weeks have been spent getting Genesis 3 figures up and running.
I've been purchaseing Genesis items over the last few years when they've been at silly prices - even Genesis 3 is now hitting those super low price points giving me quite a selection to work with. Not all of the product line works in Poser but in case anyone else is interested in working with this generation, I've started a new thead on the Poser forum where I'll post my notes and successes which can serve to inform other folks' purchasing. There's a table of G3 Female clothes and now one of hair. I've quite a lot more female clothing to try and import but I'm going to turn my attention to the male figures fore a while first.
Anywho, here's a very simple pic of Victoria 7. While there have been some dissapointments (particularly regarding hair - a lot of which doesn't work), the figures themselves work very well (do create light versions to improve performance) and there are enough clothing items to make this a worth while addition to my toolset.

And here she is on a cover with a Michael 6 in the backgroud.
Glad to see you're making progress with Genesis 3 figures. When things slow down I'm going to revisit my efforts to work those figures into my art.
Ummmm. I don't see Michael in the background? Am I missing something?

Taller Female and Shorter Male FiguresI'm looking to expand my purchased figure line in Daz Studio application with adult human figures (no children, teens, elderly, fantasy or stand-alones) that differ a bit from the more common sizes of people in society.
I am interested in purchase female figures no shorter than 6'1' (≥ 185cm+) and male figures no taller than 5'11' (≤ -180cm) when loaded straight into Viewport and measured with Measure Metrics.
For reference, these are some of the figures I currently own:
Female: Aniyah G8 (185cm), Retro Heroine G3 (186cm), Porsha G2 (187cm), Nadya G8 (188cm), Priya G3 (190cm), Haylee G3 (191cm), Ragna G8 (192cm)
Male: Tobias G3 (171cm), Lucas G8 (176cm), Christian G8 (181cm), Owen G8 (181cm).
Currently considering Candida G8 (who looks fairly tall in the promos) and Diego 8 G8 (who's under 180cm).
Any other figure recommendations that meets the above requirement?
My preference is for complete figures with included material presets over shaping morph packs which I already have.
I'd even be interested in older Genesis 4 and Victoria 4 figures, but that generation seems rather limited with the details and promo pics making it difficult to assess the height of the figures.
It'd be ideal if more vendors generally put the height of the figure in the details to make shopping a bit easier.Help Log warning error + DuplicateThe error only happens to genesis 8 female figures, not any other genesis or genesis 8 male

V8 (and others) texture improvement discussionHere is my take on her.


For these, I used ElianeCK Face and Body Lights B. Instead of using Victoria 8's preset, I applied bluejaunte Sina's preset. Then all I did was swap back in Vicky's diffuse and SSS maps. I also changed the translucency color to max white because I thought her skin was a bit lifeless and yellow otherwise. I also used Sina's glossy lip preset, which does not change the lip color just the gloss settings. Like I said, I only swapped back in those two skin maps, her eyes are also Sina's. The eyelashes are not part of the preset and so are still Vicky's.
You could also swap back in Vicky's normal and/or bump maps as well. However I don't think its necessary unless you want to add a few more years to Vicky's look.
I use this technique with a lot of other characters. That is, I apply a bluejaunte character's material preset and then swap back in other textures. Sina and Murphy and my main go to presets for this purpose, but others can work, too.
More Non-photorealisitic Renders (NPR II)Just something quick - I've not been very active again for a while. Mostly real life stuff but then I turned to expanding my Poser Runtime with conversions of Genesis and Genesis 2 figures and accessories. This last couple of weeks have been spent getting Genesis 3 figures up and running.
I've been purchaseing Genesis items over the last few years when they've been at silly prices - even Genesis 3 is now hitting those super low price points giving me quite a selection to work with. Not all of the product line works in Poser but in case anyone else is interested in working with this generation, I've started a new thead on the Poser forum where I'll post my notes and successes which can serve to inform other folks' purchasing. There's a table of G3 Female clothes and now one of hair. I've quite a lot more female clothing to try and import but I'm going to turn my attention to the male figures fore a while first.
Anywho, here's a very simple pic of Victoria 7. While there have been some dissapointments (particularly regarding hair - a lot of which doesn't work), the figures themselves work very well (do create light versions to improve performance) and there are enough clothing items to make this a worth while addition to my toolset.

And here she is on a cover with a Michael 6 in the backgroud.
RY Elysa for Victoria 8The RY Elysa for Victoria 8 (https://www.daz3d.com/ry-elysa-for-victoria-8) character has an "RY Elysa Fix skin DS 4.10" option at the materials tab that should be applied last (to fix the skin for DS 4.10).
The product was release before DS 4.11.
I am using DS 4.12. Should i still use the fix skin option?
Barbie doll body maker!!(niples and gens remover)to be clear and some peoples are not missunderstand my request, i'm not talking about "true barbie doll body, i means plastic or rubber made bodie,. that is not the case i means which i want a way to remove niples, pub hair and gens from the already existing skins like for exemple victoria 8 material, i means make the bodies be like the genesis 1 and genesis 2 bodies, both of then don't have any niples or gens or pubic hairs on they bodies, they are "doll" style bodies but still "realistic style skin, this is what i want, not a cartoon or anime or plastic or rubber doll, body for exemple like sakura 8 body anime body, i want a way to get any of the existing bodies materials and "remove" they gens, niples or pub hairs, but still looking like a realistic body, it's just to help with censoship, i know which i can try that using the photoshop but it will be really a lot of work to have adjust for all that, then would be cool to have a tool which would do that.
Need Help Identifying CharacterHard to identify characters, and getting harder everyday. Unless they are the familiar bases. Characters look different with just different makeups. Dont recongnise her as a base character. Looks like a Victoria and Mika mix. I did come across some that are similar options searching elf.

What was your first DAZ purchase, and how long ago?The first order still showing in my order history is dated July 4, 2002. It wouldn't have been my first purchased based on what it was, so presumably I ordered something prior to that. I think I ordered Victoria1 on a CD, but not certain anymore. I no longer use Victoria1 or Victoria2, but still regularly use Victoria3, Michael3, Aiko3, the original Freak, and Genesis1 figures (which also make use of Victoria4 & Michael4 materials and some of that generation of clothing.) Autofit only works under certain circumstances (a great purchase and a good tool for some things, but can't be used for other things) and attempts to transfer V4/M4 figure shapes to G1 didn't work for some reason I cannot figure out, so generally I make no attempts to recreate figures in newer generations and just use what that generation already has available. Currently I don't even use anything past Genesis1, although I may make an exception for one or two purchases or freebie items in the future for one-off characters or creatures for a single drawing if appropriate (hasn't happened yet), and I've kicked around the idea of using a recent figure's head with better expression options of the newer figures in conjuction with a collar on older figures but haven't really thought that one through yet.
Transferring shapes requires a script / plug-in (example: "Genesis Generation X2"), and auto-fit really only works well if you have the appropriate "clones" for the other generation(s).
For example, if you want V4 / M4 clothing to fit Genesis almost perfectly, then you need "v4-and-m4-shapes-for-genesis" ... there are "clones" or "shapes" of each generation (including V4 / M4 clones for Genesis 8), from generation 3 through generation 8. Most generations have clones of themselves for older generations, too.
Also, each of the main Genesis 8 "DAZ Original" characters includes clones for both male and female for Genesis, Genesis 2, and Genesis 3 (so if you buy one male, and one female, your Genesis 8 figures can wear anything made for Genesis, Genesis 2 M/F, Genesis 3 M/F, and their own gender of Genesis 8).
One of the things I like about DAZ is that ability to mix and match items (and characters) from multiple generations.
Yeah, it takes buying the clones and the shape transfer scripts, but at least it's possible without manually re-fitting everything through a modeling program.
V8 (and others) texture improvement discussionI thought I'd share a few settings and see if anyone has their own suggestions or improvements that could help make this texture look better. Maybe if we come up with something good, we can do it with more textures...quite a few could actually benefit from a little tweaking.
* Scene: HDR only (Studio Small 5, free for download here:(https://hdrihaven.com/hdri/?c=studio&h=studio_small_05), strength 1.00, rotation 22.66, Spectral Rendering On (faithful cie1931), 5000 iterations, tone mapping all default except crush blacks and burn highlights set to 0.00, max path 8, pixel filter: gaussian 1.20.
* Genesis 8 Female, rendered at subD 3, default pose, V8 Head and V8 Head HD at 37%* Left image: Victoria 8 default, blue eye option, V8 fibermesh brows, V8 eyelashes. No surface settings changed.
* Center image: Victoria 8 skin texture with surface adjustments (below), Lilianna Eyes 06, V8 eyelashes, V8 fibermesh brows.
* Right image: same as Center, but run through Skin Builder 8 to add detail and new brows. No additional surface adjustments.surface edits:
- reduced bump map on skin and lips from 5 to 4.
- dual lobe specular weight: 1.00 (0.61 for lips)
- dual lobe specular reflectivity: 1.00 (0.50 for lips)
- specular lobe 1 roughness: 0.67 (0.25 for lips)
- specular lobe 2 roughness: 0.69 (0.26 for lips)
- transmitted measurement distance: 0.12 (not positive this was changed)
- scattering measurement distance: 0.015 (not positive this was changed)
- SSS color: 0.95, 0.49, 0.43
I think this is a fair improvement, but please share any suggestions you might have too, like your favorite eye or lacrimal textures, any additional detail maps (SSS, bump, etc), or surface adjustments if you have any. Thanks in advance and thanks for looking.
It's not exactly raining men....Admittedly, my products are not clothes or figures, but even with scripts and poses, the male products sold a fraction of the female products:
Beach Volleyball Poses for Genesis 3 Female(s) 56% Character Converter from Genesis 3 Female to Genesis 8 47% Character Converter from Genesis 8 Female to Genesis 3 38% Clothing Converter from Genesis 3 Female to Genesis 8 45% Clothing Converter from Genesis 8 Female to Genesis 3 40% Essential Poses for Centaur 7 Female 128% Hair Converter from Genesis 3 Female to Genesis 8 38% Hair Converter from Genesis 8 Female to Genesis 3 25% RSSY Clothing Converter from Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 8 Female 50% RSSY Clothing Converter from Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 3 Female 47% RSSY Hair Converter from Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 8 44% RSSY Hair Converter from Genesis to Genesis 8 Female 62% RSSY Hair Converter from Victoria 4 to Genesis 8 Female 38% Skin Doctor - Dirt & Grime for Genesis 8 and 3 Female(s) 19% Skin Doctor - Wet & Wild for Genesis 8 and 3 Female(s) 33% Word Tattoo for Genesis 3 and 8 Female 35% The Essential Poses for the Centaur 7 are the only product I have where the male product outsold the female product.
That's really interesting information. Thank you for sharing it.
You're welcome. I think it shows with hard data that there is definitely a male purchasing problem. It would be hard to claim that the male versions of scripts are worse than the female versions.

The "Powered by Hot Pockets" Complaint ThreadShouts to the sky: what a pain in the @#$% having the eyebrows mixed with the hairs in the smart content! Was it too hard to put them all under anatomy like Victoria 8's? And when I do want to find eyebrows? Some are under hairs... sooome are under anatomy... *shakes fist at the sky*
Hopefully, this post is in the spirit of this thread

complaint worthy !
