Stalker Girl was one of my favourite characters when I first started using Genesis with Poser, so I just had a go at fitting the Stalker Girl hair to Victoria 7 and the auto-fit seems to work pretty well.

As for converting the hair for iray, I tried Sloshwerks' ColorWerks Hair Shaders for Iray and it works pretty well with the Stalker Girl hair.  I've attached a few quick renders below to give you an idea of how the hair looks on G3.
 

Handsome dude. Can always use one of those. The same crew/individual that did Brute's or Christian's skin seems to be the culprit, and Daz should keep on putting them to work for the men. From reading the comments, though, I'm in the minority. Tasha was called too different, and Landon is called too vanilla. He looks like what David could have been and for whom Lucas should have been replaced. 

Josh Crockett gives us a real werewolf, of course, [BRAVO!] though I want to see what a lower face projection morph will do to dog him out.

Disappointed that Daz has broken its recent trend of mega-high-def HD add-ons to give us no-def HD, or to be generous, HD veins. I've got veins, Daz. I want faces with pores and lip details. And hands with tendons and skin details. This is as featureless as their first HD add-on release for Victoria and Michael 6.

The clothes in the Pro Bundle will be useful for dressing men who are in the mid to far background, though they look fairly well-made, save the crotch on the Outsider Outfit. I wish they'd solve the endemic collar issue on men's clothes. Collar as morphable add-on prop is my suggestion.

I can think of a lot better uses of Redz' talents than giving us Wolverine's hair, but at least I can understand why they did it.

I love getting a new, handsome, youngish Core man for G8M! Thank you, Daz, for hearing us. Now, once Jhalil shows up I should have the coverage needed on G8M, but one more guy after him sure won't hurt AT ALL.

Now to wait for Divamakeup to show us what he REALLY looks like.

You buy a new character, load it into your scene - and it looks like he or she died months ago.
Pale, bluish skin tones. Not matching any other asset in your shot.

How is this possible???
And why do I have to delve into the myriads of iRay surface settings to make this thing not looking dead?

Where is the baseline for skin tones when a new G8 character is being sold at the DAZ store?
As in - put it next to the basic DAZ G8 character and see if the skin tone is even close to match.

I already got my hands full writing a good story, scripting the thing in a game engine, maybe doing some animations and visualizing it in DAZ.
Lighting, posing, compositing the shots. You know what I'm talking about.

The last thing I need is having to spend extra time tweaking a new assets skin tones to fit into a scene.
How come that the stringent DAZ QC department doesn't reject assets that look like Frankenstein next to a Michael 8 or Victoria 8?
Unless it's that kind of asset of course. :)

Anyone else here being annoyed by this?
I honestly prefer spending my time creating something new, rather than tweaking existing stuff that's out of whack for some reason.

What I see here is more an issue of lack of access to controls at the user level than anything being particularly wrong with the skin files themselves. You just need to be able to change up color hues, should be easy as pie.

As to why the need to make edits, its probably due to a lack of appropriateness for the task. Its imporant to know the "intent" of the skin texture you are loading, and use them as they were more or less intended. For example with most PBR type skins you want a very desaturated diffuse/albedo color map because your SSS will provide at least 50% boost to the total final saturation of the skin. Thus, if you take a full saturation diffuse/albedo map and apply SSS to it the skin will render with far too much saturation. I will bet that many of those dead looking skins you've run into would look much much much better once they have their SSS compliments.

On the other side I personally I wish the tools in DS were layed out a little differently, so I can see more things at once instead of having to scroll around so much to find sliders. All this faffling around makes the idea of editing more daunting. But anyhow that's just me.

3D Art Freebie Challenge February 2019 "Strange Love"

"Shameful Love"

Starring: Anaya and Blake

The tale:

Rome 1867, Blake who lives in London (Victorian Era, 1837-1901) is visiting 'Templum Veneris et Fons Iuventatis' (The Temple of Venus and the Fountain of Youth) every year and just had some gulps of water from the Fountain of Youth. She is fifty (!) years old, almost 51 still not married and that was a shame in those days. She did not like men, she likes women, or rather she loves them! But that would be a huge disgrace for her family so she didn't tell anybody about it. Not yet...

"Shameful Love"

The hair looks like its Top Model Updo Hair by OOT - https://www.daz3d.com/topmodel-updo-hair-and-oot-hairblending-2-0-for-genesis-3-female-s

Model could be from the same budle - https://www.daz3d.com/topmodel-hd-morphs-for-victoria-7

Bundle - https://www.daz3d.com/topmodel-bundle-for-genesis-3-female-s

Sorry I have not kept up with this software for many years, thus I have no idea what the genesis (pun intended) is for the figures.  I've come back to the software because I have something simple I'd like to do with content I already own and I'm having a lot of trouble doing that simple thing.  I do also have Michael 4 and Victoria 4 but not the muscle maps for Mike, so that's a dead end.

Essentially I want to import my Michael 3 and Victoria 3 models into Daz studio, apply poses I own (including the default T Pose) and apply the muscle maps I already own to these figures.

I can import the model for Michael 3, but I get an error about out of bounds and choosing either option to remove or keep limits creates the same end result.

The model does import, and I can apply the muscle texture map, but the T-Pose is not correct.  The legs are slightly bent at the knees and hips and it seems that the head is slightly forward and back slightly curved as well.

Is there any way I can fix this to a regular more "flat" T-Pose for the Michael 3 figure?  

Lastly, I realize there are new muscle maps for Gen 3/8 (was there a Gen 4-7?), but I'm not particularly interested in spending $22 for a texture that is a non essential upgrade for maps I've previously purchased, in some case multiple times.  This is just to play around with some basic drawing references.

Doesn't bother me in the least. tweaking things is part of the creative process IMO. Not everyoner in real life looks the same, why should it be that way in DS.

You also have to take into account that every PA has their own way of developing and what they think looks good. If all the PA characters followed a baseline it would get pretty boring real fast.

I actually don't care for the default v8 or M8 default skins, they are flat and boring to me.

Also lighting plays a huge part in how a character looks in a scene. i can load the same figure with the same skin into many different scenes with different lighting in each and they will all look differently.

+1

With so many different taste preferences when it comes to skin, lighting, render settings products, and hundreds of PAs making characters it would be really difficult to do some kind of "base line" I would think. These things are highly subjective to personal tastes and people's personal preferences when it comes to their favorite render settings, lighting sets, etc. Some of us PAs have released skin shaders and skin settings products to help bring all the scene characters more harmony - and even those provide very different looks from each other which is good as it accommodates a wider variety of tastes. :) You just have to find the settings that you enjoy the most. If you really like Michael 8's and Victoria 8's settings you can easily set up a Materials Preset (tell it to "ignore maps") to apply those skin settings to all your characters. 

You buy a new character, load it into your scene - and it looks like he or she died months ago.
Pale, bluish skin tones. Not matching any other asset in your shot.

Anyone else here being annoyed by this?
I honestly prefer spending my time creating something new, rather than tweaking existing stuff that's out of whack for some reason.

I have a question before I decide to purchase the VWD Cloth and Hair. All I see are Daz propertiary models like Michael and Victoria, etc. I don't work with Daz models. I use my own models for my proyects. The question is: Is this plugin work with any other rigged models? I want this for Carrara since I have plans to make an animated short film and the problems I have is with the clothes.

HI have purchased this product but cannot find how to use it .Could somebody please explain how to use it, i would like to pose a caracter and save pose to later convert to Victoria 7

Well, first of all, you're not alone in getting the error. I've just tried loading an old dynamic clothing item for G1, and it threw the exact same message:

2019-02-16 11:29:28.954 Error reading file G:/DAZ Content Files/My DAZ 3D Library/people/genesis/dynamic clothing/victoria 5/towel/towelv5.daz : C Exception: Memory Access Violation - Attempted to read memory at address 0x00000000

I have to agree with OP. In my opinion there's been couple of good G8 characters ( I think Sakura 8 is one of the best, if not the best, anime characters I've seen ), but the rest I've had zero interest of. One of the biggest reasons why I didn't jump the G8 bandwagon was appearance of V8, which divided opinions quite sharply... and I was one of those who didn't like her. Then after next 3 or so Daz Original characters that looked like her identical sisters, I was already too critical to change my opinion of G8...oh well, like others have said, you haven't missed anything, and if old cycle repeats, it's only 4 more months to G9, and hopefully V9 is more related to V7 than V8.

Haha.

Daz needs to break the two year cycle imo; this is so folks's buying habits down slow down once they feel a new version is imminent.

My response to the OP was short.

Divamakup's was more descriptive and longer; also used were images to support her claim.

I haven't been a fan of Victoria, until Victoria 8 came along; mind you, I don't use any character as-is; morphs get mixed, I make my own, and I customise the skin textures. I bought them because they were the first Pro bundle released, not one I would have preferred. To illustrate my point: I didn't own any Gia until December 2018 (good deals - really, really good). Yet if they had been released first, I'd have bought them. I was, however, happy to buy Victoria 8 for the look - recognisable yet also believeably real.

Flat: 15x
Heels: 10x

And there are several in that list (especially some of the slightly more skintight and revealing suits, which already wouldn't win first prize for realism anyway) that come with flats, which should've looked much better with heels. For the more bulky and heavily armored outfits, I'd agree that flat boots look better and more consistent. But overall, the numbers show that there are already way more outfits with flat boots than with heels. And it's been like that since G3F. For Victoria 4, Genesis and Genesis 2 Female, there are noticably more high heeled sci-fi outfits. But for people mainly using G3F and G8F, they're severely lacking. Especially since high heels from previous generations are a pain to convert, while it's relatively easy to do for flat boots.

...OK, what about G3F?

More or less the same thing applies to G3F sci-fi outfits. It's the Victoria 4, Genesis and Genesis 2 sci-fi outfits where heels seem to be more common than flats.

And, as awesome as the RSSY Clothing Converters are, high heels sadly remain problematic in conversion. So those older generations are quite limited as fallback alternatives to find something to match.

Victoria 3 didn't have the ability to add an arbitrary number of additional moprhs, each big set came with its own figure file which made mixing and matching difficult. The UVs were different, though I can't recall exactly how. Yes, the emsh was different, as was the rigging of the joints.

I'm not well versed in the character generations and Daz unfortunately, doesn't publish any lit on the different characters and I'm wondering what the diff is (outside of facial) between these two generations and what the developement line is as well (Is it a base Genesis 2,3 etc).

Perhaps Daz could add all of the characters to the "Technology" list as sub developements?

I would also be interested in know why I need V3 if I have V4 being as all the accessories in V4 match or exceed V3?

Is there a poly diff?

Is there a sacrafice?

Where does V3 fit in better than V4?

Just a small list of the 25 most recent sci-fi suits, including today's new Hydron suit (which is a skip for me, simply because it's way too pricey for me when it doesn't include heels):

Flat: 15x
Heels: 10x

And there are several in that list (especially some of the slightly more skintight and revealing suits, which already wouldn't win first prize for realism anyway) that come with flats, which should've looked much better with heels. For the more bulky and heavily armored outfits, I'd agree that flat boots look better and more consistent. But overall, the numbers show that there are already way more outfits with flat boots than with heels. And it's been like that since G3F. For Victoria 4, Genesis and Genesis 2 Female, there are noticably more high heeled sci-fi outfits. But for people mainly using G3F and G8F, they're severely lacking. Especially since high heels from previous generations are a pain to convert, while it's relatively easy to do for flat boots.

The easiest way to get Aiko 4 loaded is to simply load the Aiko 4 .cr2 file, available under the Poser Formats part of your Content Library tab: Figures > DAZ People > Aiko 4. That will load both V4 and Aiko at once, with the Aiko 4 head and body morphs already applied. All V4 morphs and additional Aiko 4 morphs will also be available under the Parameters tab with the figure selected in the scene. Textures will need to be added separately.

If you have not done so, I would advise installing the Powerloader which is available for V4 from your DAZ3D Product Library. The Power loader initializes V4 to accept additional morphs and will provide a pop-up window whenever V4 is loaded withoptions to select any additional morphs for the figure that you may have (including Aiko 4) Checkboxes allow you to choose what you want loaded.

There is a third way, although with the other two available it usually wouldn't be needed. I suppose if you had V4 loaded without the Aiko 4 morphs, then decided that you wished to add them, you can do that too. You can inject the Aiko 4 .pz2 file with V4 selected in the scene, which is again found under the Poser Formats part of your Content Library tab. Go to Pose > DAZ's Victoria 4 > Morph Injections > INJ Aiko V4. That will add Aiko 4 morph sliders to V4, but will not dial them in. To apply them, you must find them under the Parameters tab and adjust the appropriate sliders. The A4 body morphs can be found under the Parameters tab with V4 selected (root node) under Morphs | Shapes > Aiko 4. For the head morphs, you must select V4's head in the scene, then the A4 sliders can be found under the head. Again they are under Morphs | Shapes > Aiko 4.

Can anyone please tell me where to look and how to apply the Aiko 4 morphs to Victoria 4.2?  I have purchased both, but can't see how to get to Aiko.

Thanks.
