my Victoria is thirsty. 

You could use the ExP exporter to export your new morphs in a form that can be loaded with or injected into the regular version of the Victoria 4 figure - I'm not altogether surprised that you current route is giving trouble, though I think your solution is a trifle sledgehammer-to-crack-a-nut.

I am using Faceshop 8 and Victoria 4.2 to generate characters because I like the results that I'm getting a lot better than the ones I'm getting from FaceGen (I have the latest version of Facegen Pro).  After I have created a character that I really like I save it as a scene file and triax weight the figure so that I can save it as a character as well. I load either the scene or character and work on it 

The problem is that when I close that scene or delete the character and then open a scene with a ddifferent V4 character in it, it reverts to the previous character or some kind of combined morph monstrosity. The original figure or sccene is destroyed even though I have not hit the save button. The only work around I've come up with is to leave the aptly named DIM running, uninstall the Postgre CMS (Win 64) and then reinstall it before I change the character or scene.

This is not a big deal, just really inconvenient. Why is this happening? Is the C++ code being altered?   As I have said, I have a work around but if anyone has a better solution I would sure like to hear it.          

I'm running on a new Dell laptop and a new Dell Desktop so the computers are not the problem. Perhaps I've caught DIM from Daz. Actually I love the program especially the fact that you can make just about anything fit anything else. Just get frustrated sometimes.

Hi, are there any skeleton & internal organs sets for Genesis 8 that I haven't noticed? I've looked but couldn't find any. Failing that, is there a way I could use the Victoria 4 ones and then convert to use inside a Genesis 8 character?

Thanks,

Is there anyone not owning Michael 4 and Victoria 4.2? They are free together with a Debut new release purchase!

I had to wonder that myself.  I mean, didn't these come with every version of Daz Studio?  Maybe I've just forgotten.

Both Micheal 4 and Victoria 4 were given away as freebies multiple times already either as a standalone or with their bundles.

I was sure that Victoria 4.2 and Michael 4.0 were included in the basic Daz Studio bundle when I first downloaded.  I thought that they were considered to be Base figures...like Genesis, G2, G3, G8.  Maybe that's not the case anymore now that we're up to G8.

 

I have a message banner offering me 10% off a Debut New Release today for owning them. "Michael and Victoria want you to save" which I thought was cute. I will have to see if I want any of them.

And yes, Michael & Victoria were the base figures. I don't recall if they were bundled with DS2-3, but I believe all the named base characters (Aiko, Hiro, David, Luke & Laura, etc) were offered free to buy separately, either all or nearly all the time, up until sometime around the Genesis (1) release.

No, M4 and V4 were not included in DS base content. At some point there was a "limited edition" of V4 included, but I don't remember any version of M4. However they've been available for free in the store for a long time, so a good number of people probably got them that way.

But there are certainly recent users who don't have them.

Evacyn, you can use the Map Transfer utility in DAZ Studio to convert an Aiko 5 or any other Genesis UV texture to Victoria 5.  Then you can put the texture onto Genesis 8 using "Legacy UVs for Genesis 8: Victoria 5".

Backlight - Hair Shaders for Iray by chevybabe25:
https://www.daz3d.com/backlight--hair-shaders-for-iray-

The female figure was used for a recent hair product render (not sure if it's the basic Genesis 8 figure or something else)

I would guess its Victoria 8 herself.  Textures might be her as well.  Tough to say since Genesis figures can easily mix morphs together.

I am thinking of doing an Aiko 3 project and was wondering if there are still ones interested in Aiko 3.  Some questions:

• What software do you use Aiko 3 primarily in?
• Which is your favourite renderer for A3?  For Daz Studio; 3Dlight, iray or other?  For Poser, FireFly, SuperFly, or other?
• What type of characters are still needed for A3? More realistic or more toon?
• Any morphs for ones who just have A3 base?
• Does there need to be a Hiro 3 companion for A3 products made?
• Is Aiko 3 too old?

1. Daz Studio

2. I've mostly used 3Delight. I've not really got around to using her in an Iray render (yet)..

3.  You can never have enough of either. But I prefer toon.

4. I've got most of her morphs (I think). Although, like characters, you can never have too many morphs either.

5. Not necessarily. But it would be great to see new content for Hiro 3 too.

6. There are people out there who still buy items for Victoria 3, so why not release something for Aiko 3.  In fact, I bought a couple of A3 outfits back in last month. So no, I don't think she is too old.

Please switch to Smooth Shaded view, or since this is Victoria 4 use the default materials with painted on underwear.

I suspect that is to do with improperly initialised ExP files, or duplicates. How did you install?
