I don't think he exists, in the same way Victoria 4 doesn't exist (just Victoria 4.2).

Folks did a lineup of all existing Michaels.

Also wikipedia says Michael 2 is Michael 1, for the most part.

I have Victoria the beginning. I thought I had Michael... was there one? I have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of each of them..and some reduced res characters from the early crew. But where is my M1 ??? 
I contacted DAZ support to see if I could get a copy, and they told me to send in a receipt of puchase, which I thought was a bit petty considering I have been a customer since the very beginning, and why would I have a receipt from 16 years ago anyway?  I have over 3000 items in my product catalog ... one older than dirt character wouldn't be too much to ask for, especially since I know I bought him way back..... 
Just want to render all of them. 

if I'm wanting to create a custom character is it better to buy the premade characters, like victoria7 and then customize them or get the morph dials to change the genesis 3 to fit the need?

I've purchased some packs and know you can slihglty tweek and add features to victoria 7, like changing skin or body type slighlty if you have other characters purchased. and i've purchased some morphs to tweek the face further, but wondering what i should invest in more.

Thanks

Maybe the expression is setting the morph - though if so the master slider should appear in Currently Used (unless it's on the head, I suppose, in whichc ase you would need to see it there). Presumably the Victoria 7 shape is also listed as Currently Used? Click the gear icon on its slider, then select Parameter Settings, and look in the Controller tab at the bottom of the dialogue - what is listed?

I'm sorry for the ignorance Richard but I don't know what "central content location or single master content system" means :(

I use one account to download the content to the pcs. The content is the same. The currently used are:

Brow Squeeze

Cheek Crease

Cheek Eyes

Jaw Side

Fear

Eyelids

Eyes Squint

Mouth Narrow

S

But I use a pre-made expression from """i13 100 Essential Expressions for Victoria 7""" on Olympia 7

Addition, the Pro pack needs to be for the generation you are using, so if you are using Genesis 3, you'd need something like Victoria 7 Pro pack, or Michael 7 Pro pack (or any other of the sevenses.

I followed this tutorial for transferring a V4 character to Genesis. The basics of transferring to G3F seem to be the same. I transferrred SamV4. I dialed in Victoria 4 from Actor>Generation X>***People***.  It worked fine and the G3F hands pose fine. Maybe take a quick look at the tutorial and see it you missed a step or something.

I have applied the Victoria 4 Shape to the Genesis 3 figure (after using GenX2 to import a V4 character).

I tried the rigging tip but it barely helped. The issue remains.

Where is the Victoria 4 shape (which group is it in in the parameters pane)?

Genesis 3 Female/Actor/Generation

Are you applying the morphs to a base Genesis 3 Female, or have you also applied the Victoria 4 shape? If so, which is it?

 

Named character bases (other than Victoria and Michael) started with gen3 I think. I do remember that Laura has the same UV as V3, and there are a few add-on character skins which had promos of Laura, V3 and (I'm pretty sure) Stephanie Petite all wearing the same skin.

All of the generation 3 figures, ie male and female are based off a single mesh and UV, so can wear each others skins.

Aiko 3 is a bit different, there is a problem with the leg textures, that's why Ibis for V3 has a special texture that works for Aiko 3. Same with Carina for V3, here you must use the P5P6 mat for Aiko 3 otherwise you get the same problem. Not sure about the technicalities behind it though.

I had forgotten about that - Aiko 3 (and Hiro 3, as I recall) had an extra material zone/surface in the legs compared to V3/M3 - the UVs were (nearly) the same, just the way the mesh was divided.

You can still share skins between A3 and H3 with the other generation 3 characters, but not by simply applying the same mat file, due to this extra mat zones. If you go into the surfaces tab and copy the SkinTorso settings into those for SkinThigh, SkinKnee, and SkinShin and it will work. So in short they can all wear the same skins, it just takes a few more clicks in some cases (ie A3 and H3). Attached is A3 using V3's standard skin.

Are all three using the same central content location? Or copies of a single master content system? If reinstalling Victoria 7 doesn't help that suggests that some other property is driving the Victoria 7 shape - what is listed under Currently Used with the base figure selected?

Thanks, Allie! V3 is the taller one in brown. The smaller one is Gwennili for V7. She does have fantastic features! Kayless did a wonderful job on her.

Mysterious Dryad

*******

I tried to make dryad again and this time it worked, only that it is a bit Mysterious, I guess a bit evil... I have loaded that backdrop and rest of the picture followed. I figured out that those leaves on dryad are Ivy and I have just cleaned Oaks in my gardens, and ones that I take care of, of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedera_helix#Damage_to_trees. I think it should be done one in a 2 years, and I have seen a very large oak destroyed by Ivy that I cleaned but he didn't survived as I hoped he will.

Anyway Happy St. Patricks day. I hoped I will finish this picture yesterday, but electricity went out so I had to do render again, but at least I have watched part of the parade in Dublin, live on my new Samsung cell phone and it seems it is from 16-19 March.

I use batch render to render a couple scenes when I'm going to sleep. Recently I'm having a problem with Victoria 7. In my scenes there are other character. Not Victoria. But in every scene there is Victoria morph at 100%. Head and body. What can I do to solve this? I tried with desinstalling Victoria but it doesn't work.

Thanks for advice
