I just got my Genesis 8 character back from GamePrint as a 12 inch Collectible.  I would say that the Victoria 8 series really converts nicely into a 3d figurine. I think you can make some great looking characters with the Victoria 8 base character and  by using various morphing packages. Here are some photo’s of the model.

I added the new Properties and make changes to the figure ( add Toon morphs) and now I want to make the default state for the each Genesis 3 Female. I mean - when I create the Genesis 3 Female - I want to see the applied Toon morph and in the Parameters the all my categories..

First make shure you have saved all your custom Toon morphs with "File>Save As>Support Asset>Morph Asset" propperly to the DazStudio Library.

(EDIT_3 There is much that can go wrong and maybe also with your previous trying you allready have seen a "Dublicate Formulas Found" warning message when you load your Figure from the library. This is a warning that in some case(s) there are more than one Property with the same [FileName].duf saved to one or the other DatStudio Library - Data - Morphs - Folder. In this case use the File Browser and search for the [Property-Name].duf file and delete the older version of the [Property-Name].duf file from the one or the other DatStudio Library.)

So =) you can test this by adding the Figure to a new scene and see if all custom morphs / Properties gets loaded as you like them into the Parameters tab. The Base Figure eg. Genesis 3 Female itself should allways be loading in Base Shape - with no Character Shape or Morph Property applied.

(EDIT_1: be aware of that even Daz Products and Figures often use the Navel and the TeethHD morphs set to ON = Max Value by default: HAVE A L(o_O)CK AT: Parameters tab > Property Group: Curently Used and search for Hidden Properties with default Values of 1 or 100%)

Then create a new Property for the master Character controller name it something like CTRL_ERC_MyToonCharacterName. For now this new Property is empty but you can fill in the custom Property Values to shape your custom Character.

To do that use the ERC-Freeze Action. With this you save your custom Character shape to a new Character controller Property.

(EDIT_2: the list of Sub-Components for your custom Character shapecan include your own created morphs and other purchased Product Shapes and all these Sub-Components can have custom Values - for example you dont have to fully apply the Victoria 7 Shape maybe set it to 50% and mix it with another Character Shape. The common dependencies chain to have at least Head and Body morphs seperated goes like this: the Character controller includes Sub-Components with Shape Properties like FullBody and FullHead morphs.

So =) for your custom Character Shape master controler you can include your Addon Sub-Components mixed with other Character Shape Sub-Components with even other seperated Shape Properties like for example extra Addon face or breast Shapes, custom Correction Morphs for different areas and what not - I mean keep yourself organized with the Properties and everything should go nice and smoothly )

Then you need to save also all the added custom Properties to the DazStudio library with "File>Save As>Support Asset>Morph Asset".

Once all this is done you can open a new scene again load your Figure dial your Character controller Property to fully apply and then save a "Character Preset" to your Library (with Character Preset also all currently used Property values gets stored and you save the textures and shader)

For more information on ERC-Freeze you can have a look at my post @

Hah! Good one, Pete! Lemme guess: Victoria 1/2, A3, V3, V4, Genesis Female, Genesis 2 Female, Genesis 3 Female? (Of course the failsafe was poorly implemented, apparently, for A3 and V4).

We don't have Thanksgiving on this side of the pond, but I'm giving thanks right now. Thanks Daz!

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:

http://www.bilderhoster.net/x455b64c.png.html

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.
