Yeah, I've been buying plenty but no time to render any of it. Hopefully after Christmas, but if those sales are like they were last year, they'll be killer too. 

That wishlistify is awesome. Picked my seven items quickly today. Wow, that's going to come in handy for future sales. Wish I'd known about it during the RDNA blowouts. 

Some great deals today, and with the orange banner it's pretty hard to resist, some I've been waiting for for a while. Fantasy Wrap, Marrakesh Souks, etc. Dimension Theory is on sale today, one of my favorite PAs. I own most of his/her stuff and use it a lot. Happy to pick up a few more things.

The DSLR camera and Bonnie HD are super cheap today. And who can resist those Saiyaness characters? 

 

Bonnie for $1.96?  It shows as $7.18 for me.

Could be the extra discounts I have- PC+ and Holiday Loyalty Rewards Day 6 bonus discount of 48% off because it's from one of today's featured vendors.

These sales are getting crazy! I just got SASE Kennedy for $2.80, picked up Opal, Priya and Zari for around $4, and Ceridwen for $7. The older stuff has been on my wishlist for a while and the newer stuff was just too amazing to pass up. Both Zari and Ceredwin are stunning. I think we have a whole rainbow of beauty today.

Clothes for V4 will fit V4.   She is a stand alone figure,  not connected to the Genesis lines of figures.  Older technology.   There are products available which can help you to exchange clothes between generations. If you want to experiment with V4 then you will need to buy her. http://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=victoria%204.2  Daz Studio comes with the Genesis figures, Genesis , Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 included.  The compatability Matrix  here http://www.daz3d.com/compatibility-matrix  will maybe help you understand what can be used with which figure. 

Hello
I downloaded daz studio 4.9, and why do not I find Victoria 4 ..?
I found clothes for Victoria 4 but how to use them with Genesis 3?
Thank you

I'd also recommend the Aiko 4 and Hiro 4 morphs for Genesis 1. The skin textures for any characters from those base figures are also easily transferred to Genesis since the UVs are compatible to Victoria 4 and Michael 4 which Genesis 1 natively accepts.

Thanks to everyone,  for all your help, it's really appreciated.

This is how it turned out......My Daz 3D Library Runtime > Figures > Poses > Daz's Victoria 4 > MATerials Sample-Res,

I also purchased "Lana" http://www.daz3d.com/v4-elite-texture-lana and will experiment with that.

I had only been using the Smart Content to create scenes, I never used Runtime. Thanks

If you want to get back into using your old A3 & H3 content and you're willing to make the expenses, you can buy the A3 and H3 Shapes for Genesis which come with Autofit clones to let you use their content on the original Genesis figure. If you have any particular characters of their's you liked, you can create morphs of them for Genesis using Dimension3D's Genesis Generation X2. Just make sure you pick-up the GenX AddOn Gen3 for A3 and H3 with it.
Though, if you want to use their MATs, this is where the catch starts coming in. Genesis tech isn't compatible with the Gen 3 UV and so all textures for them will require conversion, which can be achieved with 3D Universe's Texture Convertor 2 (TC2) Bundle. Though, this is the more expressive route and PC support for the product has been discontinued. The alternative is if you were to GenX your characters directly to Genesis 3, then the Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: Special Edition - Victoria 3 by Cayman Studios is what you would want to look at. The drawback with this one, however, is that this product is only for the Genesis 3 Female and the artist isn't interested in providing a male version. So, while this means that all Gen 3 skins are usable on the latest tech, it also means that you'll have to GenX both Aiko & Hiro to Genesis 3 Female and go from there.
One more thing, if you do choose to go down the Gen 3-to-Genesis 3 path, you'll still need to Autofit their articles to the original Genesis, which then require the Wear Them All - Autofitting Clones and Clothing Smoothers for Genesis 3 Female(s) product to let you then convert them to Genesis 3 Female. Just make sure you export the articles as a wearable OBJ first.

The one thing we lack in the world of Daz are clear-cut Latino characters. If we get those, then we might have a well rounded cast of characters. Of course, then we could fight over whether the Latino characters should be of the Carribean type (like Puerto Rico) or the Central and South American type I guess. LOL Then I suppose you can research population ethnicities and percentages of you really want to get technical and base your characters on that ;). Me? I wouldn't worry about it and just use what you want ;).

BD Esther is a beautiful Spanish character for V7.

Can these older items still be used on generation 4 models v4, h4, m4, k4, f4 ect ect

if not where does one get michael and victoria 1 and 2

Thanks in advance

Thank you Cayman, great tip , all this is your fault because of your great Legacy product.
Am attaching an image, nothing big
Represents a cost of over seventy dollars, and haven't been to bed since yesterday.

I would like to add this adendum for the benefit of the poor son of a bitch that
might encounter the same problem.

Because of the great results produced by Cayman Studios on the new product Legacy Uv For Victoria 3 I was
presented with a greater problem. As you might have read I have been collecting for over twenty years.
Have huge collection for V3 alone. Morphs, hair, etc. Also for my work have to do renders in KeyShot.
For some reason the setup of the older characters textures work the best.
For business reasons it was in my interest to combine Cayman Studio with the actual head/face of some
Victoria 3 models.
This could have been done solely in Zbrush and/or combination of dials.
But, my thinking was if I could start with something that closely resembled the original....
Yesterday I purchased the entire GenX series to be able to create morphs of older models.
The one I picked was Victoria 3. I had created a figure with morphs years ago.
 I had saved it as a new figure in poser.
So, I had a V3 created figure and wanted to convert it to Genesis 3 female and use the Cayman Studio plugin.
Using GEN X was able to convert the figure to everything but Genesis 3 Female, kept getting error messages
1.Start GenX.
2. Go to Shape drop down box select Genesis 3 Female.
3. At this point I was dragging and dropping my premade v3 figure from the runtime to the source.
Shape Box said Victoria 3. I spent the next serious amount of time checking different amount of boxes(somebody owes me
a pair of glasses). When all was done hit transfer, ended with series of messages ending with figure not supported.
Start over again. Check more boxes, same error message.Check more boxes, same error message. Redo
Took figure and made the target genesis 2...worked....but the textures woud not have fit
Sent messages here, was told to use Victoria 3 Clone. Went through 100gb of stuff looking for V3 with the name.
clone, nothing.
NOWHERE is it mentioned that in Shape selection there is a Victoria 3 Clone.
So, you select Victoria 3 in the shape box, drag and drop your figure to the transfer and then.......go back to
the Shape box and select VICTORIA 3 CLONE from the shape drop down.
I am going to bed now.
Thanks to all

Carrara 8.5  Windows 8.1

I've loaded V4.2 in a scene, and go to: 

Content Library>My Daz 3D Library>People>Victoria4>Materials>V4 Sample-Res

V4 Sample-Res has no content.

Is there a way to get that content from Daz to Carrara? Or is there another way to remove the purple underwear on V4.2.  What skins work best for V4.2 using Carrara?

Thanks

OK, I understand your issue all too well.  It took me hours of poking around in the Carrara browser to find stuff.  But for the most part, it is there.  Hint: when you find stuff, write down the path until you've done it many times.

For those V4 standard and hi-res mats, do as Diomede and 3DAGE said above, and open the MyDaz3D RUNTIME Library folder.

Go to Figures.

Go to Poses.

Go to Daz's Victoria 4 (NOT Daz Victoria 4) and click the little triangle.  The skin Mats are there.

For better looking skins, there are V4 elite skins, and most come with Carrara shaders.  Here are a few:

http://www.daz3d.com/v4-elite-texture-lana

http://www.daz3d.com/v4-elite-texture-maya

After purchasing and downloading, these elite shaders should appear in your Shaders tab of the browser. To load these shaders, follow Diomedes instructions listed a couple of posts above.

Good luck!

Bicc, you have to click on the Shape drop-down to get "Victoria 3 (Clone)".

My apologies, my fault I am sure, new to this program.

Answer confused me more.

Simple, I have Victoria 3 model (installed in poser runtime). I apply some adjustments to head.

Save this figure as cr2. ( if it makes it easier, forget this)

Now.

If it makes the explanation simpler forget I applied morphs. Lets assume the basic V3 figure

How do I get V3 to be recognized by Genesis 3 female?

Have recently purchased Legacy UV Genesis 3 for Victoria 3, works perfectly, wish to apply your product to resulting figure

In all V3 setting, no figure with "clone" is mentioned. I have over 30 runtimes going back 15 years. Spent quite a bit of it on V3.

Any variation of V3 I have.

All installations of Victoria 3 are in Poser Runtimes.

"Depending on what shape you use on Genesis,...". Not genesis, genesis 3 female.

Figures work on Genesis 2 ( I even converted the Genesis 2 male to the figure by accident).

I have to have the Victoria 3 figure to Genesis 3 Female otherwise the textures will not work.

Have spent the last 15 hours on this.

To make sure all was ok bought all your addons and the program yesterday, just to do this.

One was a duplicate to insure the latest version.

To sum up a convoluted posting, I wish to take a V3 figure and convert it to Genesis 3 Female.

Thank you for your time sorry to be a pain in the ass.

Victoria 3 Clone shape is the morph that turns Genesis into the shape of Victoria 3. Besides the clone shapes for Poser figures (which are used by Auto Fit), there are also some legacy figure shape morphs sold separately. Depending on what shape you use on Genesis, the morphs have to be transferred slightly different. This is what you set under "Shape". The "Clone" shape is the one that is supported in any case, so if you are not sure, select the "Clone" shape under "Shape" for the transfer. (There is an option to automatically select the clone shape by default.)

Except for setting "Victoria 3 Clone" under "Shape", you transfer a V3 morph to Genesis 3 in the same way as you did for Genesis 1 and 2. (You don't need to use Poser, you can load the original V3 figure into GenX and then apply morph or morph injection poses in GenX.)

Key = Runtime as in My Daz3D Library Runtime

In My Daz3D Library Runtime, look for Poses subfolder, look for Daz's Victoria 4 subfolder of that, look for MATerials subfolders of that.

Note - for newer figures such as Genesis 2, shaders for Daz figures are in the My DAZ3D Library (no Runtime) because these were not desiged to be used for Poser first.

1)  For Carrara-specific shaders, look under the shader tab of the browser tray.

2)  I came to Carrara from Poser, not Daz Studio.  The shaders for V4 were applied as MAT poses in Poser.  These were kept in the Pose subfolder of the Runtime directory.  In V4 from the Runtime : Figure : Daz People subfolder.  There are Poser shaders are in the Runtime : Pose : Daz's Victoria 4 : MATerials standard res   subfolder.  Click and drag the "All Natural" MAT file from the browser to the V4 group level in the lower right as if applying a pose.  (Not to the globe of the "model" level).  This will result in your V4 having Poser-style shaders.  You will want to optimize them for Carrara because they have a blue tint.  Adjust as desired.  After adjusting,click and drag the global shader from the sphere in the"model" level back to your shader tab i the browser tray.  In the future, apply this optimized shader with one click as per previous instruction for (1) above.

If DAZ or PAs start making latinas, I'm gonna be broke. :) (I'm also including Mediterranean figures like http://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-paloma-hd-for-victoria-7 )

Confused, what exactly is "Victoria 3 Clone".

To elaborate, have v3 figure going back to Poser 5 (Curious Labs)

Have all her morphs, textures etc. Took this figure with a head, added a texture and saved my figure into Poser.

Opened DAZ and used this created V3 figure to create gen x g2 male(by mistake) and g2 female.

What figure should I have used, the one I made, or the one that exisited before I started.

My interest is primarily the head area, the rest is of no use.

Thank you

I've loaded V4.2 in a scene, and go to: 

Content Library>My Daz 3D Library>People>Victoria4>Materials>V4 Sample-Res

V4 Sample-Res has no content.

Is there a way to get that content from Daz to Carrara? Or is there another way to remove the purple underwear on V4.2.  What skins work best for V4.2 using Carrara?

Thanks

Instead of Content Library>My Daz 3D Library>People>Victoria4>Materials>V4 Sample-Res

Go to Content Library>My Daz 3D Library>People>Victoria4>Poses>Daz3d's Victoria 4 and pick from the categories there.

For loading the correct texture maps into your shaders, like Specular maps into the Highlight channel, for example, go to: Content Library>My Daz 3D Library>Runtime>DAZ>Characters>MilWom
