Im using a edited version of a G8F Alicia. And i applied a skin mod (Altern8 skin shader). Since i did, the eyebrows are gone/changed to something more default/basic. And I have no idea how to get the original eyebrows back (there are no separate eyebrows in the Alicia pack) ...

When you used the Altern8 preset, did you use one of the "No Map" presets? Those will adjust the skin surface settings, but leave the underlying texture map files in place. If you use one that doesn't say "No Maps", it will load the figure's maps instead. For example, the "Victoria 8 Maps" preset will load Vicky 8's textures, overwriting Alicia's while the "Victoria 8 NoMaps" preset will just change things like the translucency and gloss settings without changing the textures.

By the way. I forgot to ask. Would there be any way to reverse this once i have done it, im far past the point of ctrl+z and ive saved over it plenty of times. Re-applying the "head" of Alicia does nothing now and the brows stay gone.

And if possible id rather not start all over again, i spent alot of time on this model.

Bite the bullet and chalk it up to "lesson learned"? :)

You could re-apply Alicia's materials, but then you'll have to re-apply the Altern8 No Map preset again over top of it. It shouldn't reset any shape changes, hair, clothing, etc. that you've done, but it will reset all of your surface settings on the figure herself.

I suppose you're right! :| Lesson learned. Save before trying big things.

edit: oh and re-applying the No Map did not work. Brows were gone forever... either way i found a good and fast way to solve this. I saved my shaping-preset and then started a new model and just applied it.

The Randomizer 2 was just on flash sale and if you had the Victoria code it really was a steal. Got it for $9.59   Are all these previous renders using the first one? Anyone used the 2 ?

I see, that must have been my mistake. Thanx for the reply.

Been looking for quite a while for the blonde hair in the final picture here: https://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-livia-hd-for-victoria-7

I thought it was "Tempest" but seem to have been quite wrong. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

So yes now I loaded a Genesis 8 female, then clicked on 'Legacy UV's !Prepare Genesis 8 Female', but when I apply the Fire material in order to then apply ' Legacy UV's - Apply Victoria 4 UVs' to save the material, the Fire skin doesn't even appear on the figure, nothing happens, the skin remains the same, is it because I have something missing which should be installed?.... Why is this happening?

Once the UV Swap is installed, the process is pretty transparent. The two UV maps are available on the male and female, you don't actually have to change the gender of the figure. The material settings should automatically select which gets used. If not, the product has scripts to manually set and reset the UV map. You can filter the Surface settings with "UV" and cycle through the various surfaces to see what is set to what. Skin parts for sure, maybe eyes and nails, too, depending on the source.

You would load the Genesis 8 Male and apply your newly-converted (from the V4 materials) Genesis 8 Female materials. Now, the original material states that it will need some tweaking to work properly in DAZ Studio, so it probably used some Poser shaders which are not supported in DAZ Studio. You will also need to decide if you want 3DL or Iray. There are converters for that, too, or just trust the auto-conversion when applying the DAZ Iray Uber Base (built-in shader, select the figure, ctrl-double click, in the pop-up select Images: Ignore). You will probably have to change settings and bitmaps in either case to get what you want.

That's just the basics, there is a wealth of information out there on how to adjust the surface settings.

Le vecchie cose funzionano correttamente, ovviamente quelle nuove no.
Certo che era davvero basilare, all'epoca! Le impostazioni di render avevo su per giù cinque parametri!

Quello che mi piace di più, però, è che nel disco sono presenti oltre ai primi Michael e Victoria anche parecchi prodotti completi. Ma purtroppo sono accompagnati da licenze "vecchio stile", con pagine e pagine di cavilli, norme e legalese americano... Per cui immagino che possano essere usati solo "in casa" senza altri usi... Peccato!

Anche io ho ancora DAZ Studio 2 e 3 nella mia libreria... Un giorno me li installo e ci gioco.

Tornando sui giusti binari: qualcuno ha idea di dove trovare il manuale degli Strand-Based? Frugo frogo dappertutto ma non lo trovo...

Ok, I downloaded them both, but now I don't know how to turn G8 Male to G8 Female, can you please write me the steps? 

MDD Fire & Water is a Victoria 4 material set. To get it onto Genesis 8 Male, there ae a few steps to take. You have four generations to jump, and a gender switch. Genesis 8 can swap male and female materials with Genesis 8 UV Swap: Male and Female Base. To get up to Genesis 8, you need Legacy UVs for Genesis 8: Victoria 4. Save that final product as a material preset that you would them apply to Genesis 8 Male. Simple, huh?

There are ways to do it outside of DAZ Studio using texture converters and other programs, but I am not familiar with those. Perhaps someone else can explain some of that.

Oggi ho riscoperto un vecchio tesoro!

Stavo riordinando una vecchia scatola di roba ed è saltato fuori un disco di Art Special, una rivista per artisti niubbi che compravo.

E su quel disco ci sono Daz|Studio ( si, si scriveva così!) RC 0.9.28.4 e le prime versioni di Michael e Victoria ( senza numeri!)

Ora vedo di installare tutto e tuffarmi nei ricordi... *lacrimuccia*

Però mi domando che licenza possano avere! 

...non so che salterà fuori...... nel vecchio PC avevo aperto il Daz studio 2.xxx   con Victoria..1 ?, e molte texture apparivano grigio/bianche  dando l'errore di incompatibilità Texture..

I accidentally closed my Victoria birthday code. Today is june17. Any help? I remember my percentage number at the end!

It should still be in your message box: https://www.daz3d.com/notifier/inbox/offers/

Title: Beach Visit

There are several Legacy UV products that allow for different paths. For example, Victoria 4 is suported by original Genesis directly, and somewhat indirectly by Genesis 2 Female. From Genesis you can use the Legacy UV for Genesis 8 Female: Victoria 5 (after converting in Studio from V4 to V5 with Map Transfer). A bit more work, but you would only need one new product. I'm sure you will have questions...

MDD Fire & Water is a Victoria 4 material set. To get it onto Genesis 8 Male, there ae a few steps to take. You have four generations to jump, and a gender switch.

I used the Clothing Converter to fit the Domino and Latin Stage Outfits to Genesis 8 and used Legacy uvs for Genesis 8-victoria-4 to convert the Kenna textures to fit Genesis 8

Kenna is cute!

In the current Flash sale, here's a suggestion for a family friendly swimsuit- aka less bosom showing and slightly higher waisted bottom- combine the top of RW Triangle Bikini  with the bottoms of the RealFit Ring Bikini and that also includes a wrap for the bottoms! Simply use a shader and get the textures to match. (The bottoms also have the wider crotch, unlike some of the other bikini bottoms.)
