Probably dumb question: Do we have to have this product https://www.daz3d.com/sy-victoria-4-and-michael-4-clones-for-genesis-8 to make your product work, or does your product do what this older one does already?

I hope the results are not the same either since that product was geared for special fits such as tunics and dresses and mangled normal fitting clothing. Otherwise this looks like a great addon and I am really looking forward to it.

No, you do not need any other product.

Awesome!  I love so many of the old V4 clothes, it will be wonderful to use them on G8F!

There are some beautiful V4 clothes.  And some that no other generation has so I was happy to make this too!

I have the previous conversion products and the SY clothing clones were NOT needed.

Soooo. I would guess that the answer is No, you won't need that product.  You will be able to convert the clothes and then apply them directly to G8 without any additional products.

anyone try transferring ifgure rigging to a subd export of the figure object?

wondering how awful the face rigging looks as a transferred rig? 

how do they stop all the face rigging from transferring to hair or hats?

yeah I have and face looks awful, actually Michael 4 with all his morphs injected rigged to Genesis 8 is not too bad

if you use the morphs NOT the face rigging!

Discussion:

So How Does One actually Find Those darn 'Valid New Releases'  mentioned in the "Weekend Blowout Michael 4 and Victoria 4"sale on the main shop page ?

I can't find any way to view 'New Releases' (although in the past when I've had zero interest in them they were always in my face !)

3D Art Freebie Challenge January 2019 "Frozen In Time"

"Out of time..."

A small piece of my mind is like frozen in time too, it can not forget and still lives in the beautiful hot summer of 2018! :D

The tale:

For years and years there was no human activity to be seen in this beautiful meadow, as if frozen in time, like on a photograph. Until Anaya came by and threw away her old passport photos because she had her eyes lasered and no longer wore glasses. Bharat wanted to pick them up but he could not find them again and lost the hundred-year-old watch that he received from his grandfather during the search...

"Out of time..."

But you don't look old. It could be that your avatar just isn't a recent photograph. It could be that you just age well.

I know which explanation I believe.

According to his start date Jack has been around at Daz before Daz (or even Zygote) was even around to be around in. I think his 2nd car is a Delorean (possibly one with a supercharged Flux Capacitator)

But you don't look old. It could be that your avatar just isn't a recent photograph. It could be that you just age well.

I assumed he just shunted his decrepitude onto the various Forsaken and so on sets. With Christmas and New Year dissipation behind us we should be due a really ruinous set.

I don't know about V4 compatibility! But I think they're Genesis, not Genesis 2.

V4 was before Genesis.

 

There's no batch converter for V4 clothes to G8 right now.

This enables you to autofit V4/M4 clothes to Genesis 8: https://www.daz3d.com/sy-victoria-4-and-michael-4-clones-for-genesis-8 It works well with some items and less well for others.

Another option is to autofit V4 clothes to Genesis (1), then autofit the G1 version to G8F. This has the advantage of beeing free, but once again it will work more or less well depending on the kind of item you try to convert.

Thanks, I was wondering this too! :D

Reposting something I wrote from another thread on old content: 

A few words of advice on the M4/V4 sale, from someone who was there when many of these items were new: https://www.daz3d.com/select-michael-4-and-victoria-4-blowout-sale-items

Easiest items to convert forward to G3 would be the weapons sets: You will probably find them under Content/Runtime/Libraries/Props. they load as props parented to the left or right hand of the figure selected, and from there you can select them, and move them to a better position relative to the figure's hand. This may be more difficult for G8, haven't tried it. Converting the materials to Iray tends to be straightforward: use base Iray shader on everything, Iray emissive on stuff that's supposed to glow, metal shaders on metal bits (possibly using Cntl+Click to retain the original textures), leather with ctrl+click on wood/leather/weathered metal surfaces (then reset the diffuse color in the surfaces tab). You may need to make sure that there are maps in the bump field under surfaces (the base diffuse map will work, if you can't find anything else), and you may also need to set the bump values rather high. Save as wearable or accessory.

Of the weapons in the sale, I strongly recommend anything by Valandar, especially his gorgeous and unique "Rapiers of Legend" set.

Hair is the next easiest, but it will require hair shader kits like OOT's or Slosh's to make them look good: If it's under Content/Runtime/Libraries/Hair, it's a prop that will load as parented to the head of whatever figure you have selected. Select the hair and use y-translate and z-translate to position it better on the character's head. Specifically, you're trying to minimize pokethrough on the forehead and crown areas, and make sure that the area assigned to the ears does in fact line up with the ears on your character. Use a smoothing modifier to deal with any remaing pokethrough. If it loads untextures, go to Content/Runtime/Libraries/Pose to apply a hair color. Now select the hair surfaces and go to work with the shaders. When shopping for older hairs, pay close attention to the individual strands/locks. Do they look realistic, even if the scene overall or the hair texturing does not? If yes, then that usually means that the hair is either modeled well or transmapped well, and one or the other is a requirement for the hair to look good with modern shaders. If the hair is a figure (found under Content/Runtime/Libraries/Character), the easiest thing to to do is to load it without a figure selected, position it relative to your figure's head, parent it to the head, and then go through the rest of the steps. I usually save hairstyles as wearables, in their own subfolder under G3F (or G3M) Hair.

Of the hairstyles in the sale, I have gotten the most use out of Tequila Hair, which has a bunch of useful morphs, and Mon Chevalier Hair, which doesn't look great from behind but holds up well from other angles and takes shaders well.

Clothing: do not bother unless you have clones and templates for bringing them forward to the Genesis Generation of your choice; I mostly rely on Wear Them All and Sickleyield's Ultra Templates. There are several cloth shader kits for Iray that include settings to leave the existing textures in place but change the surface settings to be more Iray friendly; any of these will help. Clothes will usually be found under Content/Runtime/Libraries/Character. Skirts that extend below the knee tend to fare badly in conversion, but in cases where they are a separate object rather than part of a dress, you can skip the autofitting and parent them to the character's hip or lower abdomen, and use built in handles and morphs to position them. High heels do not autofit well; do not bother with them unless you are willing to do a lot of fiddling. High collars do not autofit well.

Of the clothes in the sale, I like V4 Songstress and it converts fairly well to G3F if I remember correctly. V4 Nightshade does not, neither does M4 Warp Master. TOA Legendary, on the other hand, does surprisingly well and has some amazing freebie textures by Chohole. Special shoutout to L75 War Alastair for M4: nothing much to look at but it converts forward well, and converts well to DForce, AND is simple enough to not cause problems when you stick a dforce cloak or robe on top of it.

Optitex Dynamic Clothing: these are designed for an older dynamic plugin, a tiein with a fashion industry clothing simulator. They are modeled in a way that usually works well with DForce, but they do not work with it out of the box. It is recommended that you load the Optitex dynamics (found under content/People/Victoria 4/ Dynamic Clothing or Content/People/Michael 4/Dynamic Clothing), then export them as objects to some place you can find them easily, then import them and treat them the same way you would a poser dynamic outfit that you were trying to add dforce to (turn self-collide off, position the figure inside the clothes at frame 0, run an animated draping simulation with the final pose halfway through the timeline or at the end of the timeline, etc).

Danie/Marforno set complexes: I like their medieval/barbarian/Hellenic work better than their futuristic work, and do not own anything by them with explicit druidic/occult/horror theming, so I can't speak to those. many of their sets are built of individual prop components you can use as building blocks for your own sets, and also include weapon props or V4/M4 pose sets, which means that you can be bouncing back and forth between Content/Runtime/Libraries/Character, Content/Runtime/Libraries/Pose, Content/Runtime/Libraries/Prop, and Content/Runtime/Libraries/Scene to find all the things they have to offer. You will need one of the pose conversion scripts floating around out there, free or paid to make the poses work on Genesis 2, 3, or 8. Their props can be converted like the weapons described above, and their set complexes can be converted to Iray in the same way I described for weapon surfaces above: just going through and seeing which of the base Iray shader presets will work, and using cntrl+click to retain the original texture maps where necessary. The trouble is that the average set has A LOT more surfaces than the average weapon, so this gets old quick. I tended to save out materials presets for the individual prop components of the DM sets as I set them up for Iray, to save time later.

M4/V4 characters: these are the hardest thing to move over. CaymanStudios has some good products (here and at Rendo) for making older skins work on G3 and G8, but they require the material preset to be in .duf format, which M4/V4 materials usually aren't. You will have to first load M4 or V4 and apply the material skin preset, make any tweaks necessary to make it look good in Iray, then save out as a material preset in duf format, and then use on a Genesis 3 or 8 character wearing Cayman's geograft products. The initial adjustments for Iray can be very basic if the skin is already set up for 3Delight (select all, apply Iray base shader preset), but if they are only setup for Poser, they may require the use of Dimension-Z's or JavierMicheal's skin shader tools.

There are relatively few V4 skins worth the trouble of bringing forward, especially given the added hassle of converting the makeup options, IMO, but there are some pretty good M4 skins. Almost anything for either M4 or V4 by Morris, RawArt, Surreality or LiquidRust will hold up reasonably well in Iray after conversion. The "elite" series of m4/v4 skins are also pretty good (some of them are by Morris, others are uncredited but possibly by her as well).

Morphs: the default tool for moving these forward is the no longer supported (creator is deceased) GenerationX2. You can also try this tutorial for moving morphs between Genesis figures and see if it works: https://www.deviantart.com/sickleyield/journal/Tutorial-Transferring-Character-Morphs-G1G2G3G8-409437916

Hello everybody,

I have the Midnight Lycan for genesis 3 Male(s)  SKU:34229  https://www.daz3d.com/midnight-lycan-for-genesis-3-male-s

I would like to add a tail to the figure. I currently possess the following options and would like to know if there was any way to adjust them for the G3 figure or if there is any other tail options avalible for this model generation...

Easy Tail for Genesis SKU:17105  https://www.daz3d.com/easytail-for-genesis

M4/V4 creature creator Bundle  SKU:9611  https://www.daz3d.com/m4-v4-creature-creator-bundle

Cat world for genesis 8 Male(s)  SKU:49707  https://www.daz3d.com/cat-world-for-genesis-8-male-s

Cat world Regenesis HD bundle  SKU:18269  https://www.daz3d.com/cat-world-regenesis-hd-bundle

Cat world bundle set SKU:9523  https://www.daz3d.com/cat-world-bundle-set

When I attempt to Auto-fit the tail to the parent (Genesis 3 figure) I don't have the drop down option to select "genesis male" for the "what figure was the item orginally designed for"  nor is there a drop down option to pick from for the "what type of item is it" as the item is not supported. Even If it did support the genesis figure, what would I pick for the type of item, "pants" or just leave it blank?

Is there an auto-fit for genesis 3? Searching around I bumped into other products such as:

Genesis 2 male Clone for Genesis SKU:17774  https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-2-male-clone-for-genesis

Michael 4 for Genesis 2 Male  SKU:17664  https://www.daz3d.com/michael-4-for-genesis-2-male

Generation 5 Legacy Shapes for Genesis 2 male  SKU:17995  https://www.daz3d.com/generation-5-legacy-shapes-for-genesis-2-male

I don't understand the differences between auto-fit, clone, UV and so on.  I have no idea if any of this will help with my situation. I'm a bit overwhelemed by all this terminology. I would appreciate a description of what these things do. Are they independent of each other or do they somehow work together with the auto-fit?

Secondly, Should I get the tail to finally attach properly (not deformed by the auto-fit), is there a way to add some of the material texture from the Midnight lycan model to the tail since the model obviously doesn't supply/support one? Any suggestions or links to a tutorial would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time and happy new years everybody.

Sincerely Jacob

P.S. I'm having the same situation with A horn I tried to add from the M4/V4 creature creator Bundle  SKU:9611  https://www.daz3d.com/m4-v4-creature-creator-bundle

If you're ok with installing new content yourself in Daz, there really shouldn't be much of a difference. You won't be able to use DIM to download/install new content from Renderotica, and any content you purchase and download from there should be backed up on a separate drive prior to installing it. Also, as was already pointed out, any content sold here will not be found there. You may find a couple Genesis 2, 3, or 8 characters/poses and such there, but you'll still need to get any Daz required base products from here(i.e. Victoria 4/6/7/8, Michael 4/6/7/8, etc.).
