I switched the skin one from the Pepper character that I bought and the tattoo works fine on that skin. It looks like the default Victoria skin needs some other changes to make it work.

Just a 'heads up' about Victoria 1 being in MimicLite...

Yes she *is* in its Runtime, but as blMilWomLoNG aka 'Victoria 1 RR', so cannot be used to decode 'Classic' PCF or RTE files that require blMilWom.obj .

Thanks for the info, Bee! I had originally tried the Base Color but it barely showed up. I went back and tried it again with the info you provided. What I learned was that other settings appear to be causing the problem. I am working from a Victoria 8 figure just using the materials that come with it. 

I looked at the Surface pane screen shot that you attached and tweeked my Translucency Weight down to 50% and the Tattoo popped into view. So, it appears that there is something problematic with the Victoria 8 defaults. 

One other thing that seems odd is that the my Translucency Color was 1 1 1.  Yours is quite different. 

I have attached my Surface settings to get some feedback on what they should be.

Thanks!

I am really excited to announce my favorite set of scripts!  I use these scripts EVERY SINGLE TIME I create an image.  I hope you will love these scripts as much as I do.

Look At Me Pose Control is a set of scripts for controlling your characters' head and eye movements for posing! Easily pose your figures to look at the camera, to look into other character's eyes, or to look at an item in your scene! Look At Me Pose Control has been designed to work with almost any character or figure... from Victoria 4 to Genesis 8, from Horse to Dragon, male or female. Anything with head and eyes!

Control separately how much characters' head and eyes move to look at your target, whether it's to look into the camera, at an item, or at each other!

Features

• Look at Camera - Rotates the eyes, head, and neck of the selected figure(s) to look at the current viewport camera.
• Look at That - Rotates the eyes, head, and neck of the selected figure(s) to look at the last selection
• Look at Each Other - Rotates the eyes, head, and neck of the two selected figures so that they look into each other's eyes.
• Look into My Eyes - Rotates the eyes, head, and neck of the selected figure(s) to look into the eyes of the last figure selected. The last figure is not posed.

Compatible with Assembly Line Pose Automation Kit by RiverSoft Art.

No poses are included with the package.

Hello. I have a litte Problem with Saree for Genesis 8 Female and Victoria 8. When I load this clothing it shows like this:

What is the thing around the neck and why does it show. I assume that it is a necklace or something else ...

I deinstalled and installed the clothing several times

Thx for a brief help

I dont have any genesis 8 figures myself, so this is only going by pictures in the store.

Look at "SC Chloe for Genesis 8 Female" She is beautiful in those pictures.  https://www.daz3d.com/sc-chloe-for-genesis-8-female

She has a softer more feminine jawline than the Victoria 8 pictures in the store, so may be more to your taste.

I like Victoria 8. I like Olympia 8 too, all except her skin, which I think is horrendous. Oompa Loompa comes to mind. I know it sounds mean and I'm not trying to be nasty....its just that the orange makes it come unbidden to my brain ;). In general though, I think the G8 line has MANY extremely beautiful females, of which the new Monique is probably the best one yet.

Today I had my first chance to install and use a few more things I picked up during the PC Anniversary sale.

This is the Saree outfit with one of Moyra's pretty Madhubala textures. For the wearer I thought I'd try using Laverne from the Monique 8 bundle because her skin is quite light - I also like the fact there are some subtle makeup options like this eye-liner only setting. Actually I modified the character a little to fit better with my Indian outift (reduced the dials and used a few morphs on the mouth). I found a problem with the Saree set in that the whole outfit load names the wrong .dsf from the data folder for thenecklace, so it loads as the dreaded grey blocks. The individual accessory load for the necklace is correct though. There are lots of morphs on the various pieces to drape and move them around. I plan to try dForce draping at some stage, but I have not tried it yet so I can't say whether it will work on this set.

ETA: I forgot to mention the hair - it's Dolly Changeable Hair (I only have the G3F version so it's autofitted) with the loose hair from the front and neck and also the ponytail removed and the braid from the Dolly Changeable Hair Expansion added.

She's standing in the Crescent Cove set (another old favourite of mine) with some additional lights.

I really like the VIctoria 8 model.  The model is very good and is supported by many third party morphs.   I found the Genesis 8 series very easy to work with to get great results.  Here are some of my Genesis 8 models.

 

 

Those are good, I especially like the modest one.

...Victoria 8 doesn't even look human.

Should be at home in your renders, then.

This is Marigold for Victoria 8.

Some PA's make some good loking characters. But the initial DAZ releases were not. Victoria 8 and Olympia 8 come to mind. I mean, Victoria 8 doesn't even look human.

 

I think she looks great, and avoids any anime influences (mainly large eyes). She looks very human.

As it happens, I agree; of course, others are free to disagree and have stated so ad nauseum.

I've been using Genesis 3 for a long time and I'm very happy with all the models/poses/clothes for G3. But when it comes to G8 everything seems to be great, poses and clothes, except for the models !! With all due respect all the G8 female models are just average to bad. Is it because G8 features and/or structures? I'm trying to find one to buy but I don't find a good enough looking model.

Is this just me? seriously I want to know because this is going on forever and I hate it.

If you want to enlighten us about your personal taste please be so kind to explain what exactly you are missing in G8F. 'Good looking' can be anything from Nefertiti to Donatella Versace. But maybe by 'good looking' you mean Barbie and other bland plastic types... 

Divamakeup, I couldn't agree more with you! V8 is the first Victoria I really like.
