Title: Gonna Be Mom When I Grow Up

After a long day of filming, salsa starlet Lola just wants to fall into bed - but sleep will have to wait until little Lana and Daddy put on a special show just for Mommy.

Used:

Jade for The Kids 4
Latin Stage
Navy Blues for Grantham Hall Suit
Private Art Deco Cinema

Also Used:

• Cool Coils
• Sparkles for Studio
• Victoria 4.2 Base
• Sweetheart for Kids 4
• Michael 4 for Genesis 2 Male
• Selena Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s)
• Novarys for Genesis 3 Female(s)
• Dash for Michael 7
• Casual Style for Genesis 3 Male(s)
• Hipster Chic for Men
• Josette Pumps

Legacy UVs for Genesis 8: Michael 4 will be released soon.

As with the other Genesis 8 Legacy UVs releases the geografts now load as one piece and incorporate an Eye attachment designed to replicate the geometry of the earlier generations.  The Eye attachment (called 'Sclera Attachment') can also be loaded as a standalone so that earlier eye MATs (including Genesis 3) can be used with Genesis 8 textures.

In addition there is a 'Pubic Hair' attachment which can take the materials for the M4 Genitalia Pubic_Hair surface where available.

 

I appreciate the offer. Are these just the store examples or ones you have in your stable?

Here is a comparison of M4 and G3M.

Both are using the Adonis body shape (https://www.daz3d.com/m4-elite-body-shapes) and the Jeremy full face morph (https://www.daz3d.com/michael-4-morphs).

There were transferred over to G3M using Gen X 2 (https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-generation-x2) with the G3M-F plug-in (https://www.daz3d.com/genx2-addon-for-genesis-3). 

Both are wearing the M4 Jeremy Elite skin texture (https://www.daz3d.com/m4-elite-texture-jeremy). To use M4 skin on G3M, I used Legacy UVs (https://www.daz3d.com/legacy-uvs-for-genesis-3-michael-4)

no hair - let's just say they are Deltans

LOL

The transfer looks great!  I'll have to look into it and see about workign it into my budget.

Just some old-timer info about the convos on the previous page about Michael 1:

If you own Michael 2, you also own Michael 1 - just turn off the "Michael 2" base morph. They took the same clothes, poses, materials, everything, because M2 was just an expansion.

@valandar  That' interesting! So I assume when M3 came out it was a different mesh and not just an expansion?

Basically, yes.

Michael 1 / Victoria 1 : The first.

Michael 2 / Victoria 2 : The first, with morphs

Michael 3 / Victoria 3 : New geo, new figures

Michael 4 / Victoria 4 : New geo, new figure, now with annoying magnets and boatloads of morph injections!

Etc etc etc

Only V4 had the magnets, M4 just used JCMs. Victoria/Michael 3 also used injections, but they had to be in the CR2 from the outset (which is why all the big morph expansions had to have their own CR2, and if we wanted to mix-and-match between sets we had to use Morph Manager or hack the files in a text editor).

I see products such as the Anatomy Bundle for Michael 4 and Victoria 4.

Could DAZ Studio please build a 3D model of the Human Anatomy for Genesis 2 People?

Thanks.

Hi,

A project I'm working on requires a walking animation for a character. Is there any product for that, like an aniblock for genesis 3 Male characters?

Also is it very difficult to do a natural walking aniblock? I don't want to spend too much time learning something I'd only use once.

Thank you very much.

 

I would suggest that you forego using the Genesis 3 male figure (or the new Genesis 8, for that matter), and stick with Genesis 2 male, or even Michael 4.  You'll find a wealth of aniBlocks for the older figures but, as I have been discovering, precious little is yet available for the newer figures; and I've been actively searching for them, to no avail.

That's why I'm sticking with Genesis 2; the rigging is sufficiently similar to Genesis and Michael 4, that aniBlocks created for those older figures can be applied to Genesis 2 with minimal to moderate tweaking.

Thanks for your reply. Hix this is bad news for me because I've built my entire project on Genesis 3. I'll try to build the aniblocks myself then.

Again thank you.

We need a new astronaught suit, haven’t had a good one since Michael 4, it’s long overdue bro, keep it up 

What about this       https://www.daz3d.com/dynamic-uniforms-for-michael-4

With the discount (check your messages in your account, as usual, there's no orange banner yet), the PC+ discount, and then using the DO coupon from PC+, the Pro Bundle is a sweet deal. I'd hate NOT to be a PC member right now. If everyone who got slighted would use the Help and do "general feedback" I wonder if it would help. I think the main thing going in your favor is indeed that 50% off to non-members offer that happened,  while PC+ members don't get that option offered now.

Hmmm...I'm not seeing a message.  Is it only for folks that bought one of the other free pro bundles?

My message says for buying a previous Young Male Pro Bundle

Hmmm...well, I have Hiro 4...maybe Pro...not sure...Michael 4.  But, I guess Michael might not count as "young."  No worries.  If it had been a crazy bargain, I might've bit.  But, as for now, I'm not sure I need Lucas for anything.  I've got loads of characters and clothes.  I might buy Elijah.  The current price is good at $30.  I only have one of his items, the hair.

I think it is using "Young Male" as a collective label for the three free versions, not meaning any young male.

Michael4 to G2M

i keep getting "Error loading figure"

is this a problem with where michael 4 has been installed or is it g2m? ive tried moving things around in the directory with no luck. i also cant seem to find where michael 4 is actually installing. i manually downloaded the michael 4 base and put the files in the same directory as g2m but still wont work. im still sort of new to daz, im trying to use g2 to be able to 3d print characters. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Years of obsolesce have finally caught up with the once definitive icon of male body type Michael 4, now a (very fat) shadow of his former self.

After a tumultuous obsolesce by the single parameter of his one time partner and "the most popular model in the world" Victoria 4 (along with her 4 Beatles presets) M4 disappeared from the spotlight and the artist gallery and was last seen moving his wardrobe and props down to the basement of the runtime.

3D artists have shown a diet rich in morph targets, d-forms and a high polygon count can lead to digital obesity when parameter dials are turned up with little regard for their consequences. Portion control and exercise poses can prevent these terrible ads from becoming epidemic. 

Thank you.

Well, the order is October 1st and it was things like the Cabin in the Woods, Jeweled Excellence Rings, the Pines Beach Ultra HDRI, Trail Running Shoes, DE Alice, M1A2 Abrams Tank (no, no Michael 1 included) and the rest are newer releases. This is just funny that a specific order had him in it, but he isn't in it. My first studio version (Sept 2012) was what, version 4.5? That's the earliest I remember. Could be an earlier one. I don't ever remember seeing anything other than Michael 4 in my Content Library in the Poser section. 

I'm getting that stupid Postgre SQL CMS connection can not be established and the studio is missing sections in the Content Library. Where do I find that to fix it? I already did the Edit>Preferences>CMS but not sure what I'm looking for. Also did Task Manager and looked under Daz, nothing like that showing. HATE when the studio goes funky!

This thread talks about it too.  As soon as I get done with all my open tabs, I'll restart the computer.  Smart Content - one post says to load it from there several times. I've found that and trying to load it. (Nope, still missing Categories in Content Library.)

Hello, 

I am new to this and basically I want an overview of the basic figures belonging to the different Genesis levels and before as it seems somewhat confusing. I am sure they exists but the search systems in the forum, help or wiki don't throw them out, no matter what I fill in. Where can I find them?

With what I could find (the list of Genesis 2 figures I found seemed quite complete and I added those to Genesis 3 & 8) I figured out it should be something like this?

I certainly missed some. So if already a list exists fine else can you add to make it correct and complete?

Victoria and Michael, Aiko & Hiro

Victoria 2 and Michael 2, Aiko 2 & Hiro 2

Victoria 3 and Michael 3, Aiko 3 & Hiro 3

Victoria 4 and Michael 4, Aiko 4 & Hiro 4

Genesis Figures - the base list of figures:

Victoria 5 and Michael 5, Aiko 5 & Hiro 5

Genesis 2 Figures - the base list of figures: 

Victoria 6, & Michael 6, Victoria 6 HD & Michael 6 HD,  Aiko 6 & Hiro 6, Stephanie 6, Stephanie 6 HD, the Girl 6, Gia, Olympia, Olympia HD, Gianni, Gianni HD, Teen Jayden, Lee 6, Lee 6HD, Teen Josie 6

Genesis 3 Figures - the base list of figures: 

Victoria 7 and Michael 7, Victoria 7 HD & Michael 7 HD, Aiko 7 & Hiro 7, Stephanie 7, Stephanie 7 HD, the Girl 7, Gia, Olympia, Olympia HD, Gianni, Gianni HD, Teen Jayden, Lee 7, Lee 7 HD, Teen Josie 7

Genesis 8 Figures - the base list of figures: 

Victoria 8 and Michael 8, Victoria 8 HD & Michael 8 HD, Aiko 8 & Hiro 8, Stephanie 8, Stephanie 8 HD, the Girl 8, Gia, Olympia, Olympia HD, Gianni, Gianni HD, Teen Jayden, Lee 8, Lee 8 HD, Teen Josie 8

Here's more PC+ orders. Obviously I don't have time to compare current prices, but this gives newbies who haven't been through a PC+ sale an idea of the sales. These all assume you had a qualifying item in the cart, sometimes it was cheapies like PC+ items. I combined two orders for this first one: (if you ever do this, go to source, above, and change the html. Take out the coding for the table width/border)

Love this order:

Had another Tesla room to get these prices. It was about $7. And of course, with most of these orders, I've yet to render them. Free is free though! 

Aha, next order-  that's when all the Legacy UVs either came out or were on sale. They were 7.90 apiece. (for Genesis 3: Genesis Pack, for Michael 4, for Victoria 5, Victoria 6, Genesis 2 Male and Michael 6.

Here's more prices, always with a qualifying item or two. P3D was in the sale, obviously. I bought the Airport Island products to get the discounts.

So with one or two qualifying items, you can see the pricing. After doing this for five years, there's not a whole lot left to pick up that I want. I do wish to point out the outfit textures for Genesis 3 in this list- if you are waiting to grab those, hopefully there will be some in this upcoming sale too.  

Edit: Scroll down to read about the gift card sale during the PC+ sale. 

First off, I know this is probably a long shot, as the creator of the plugin has since passed away. But to anyone who might have an idea...

I'm working with the 4.10 beta currently. Most everything works well insofar as plugins go. But GenX2 is not. The tool window shows up as normal, but I am unable to click on any buttons to load a figure into the plug in, or drag/drop ones (such as Victoria 3 or Michael 4). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin and its add-ons several times, and changing the destination folder to the new/beta location on my H/D. It still won't work. I have also restarted/disabled the plug in, to no avail.

I'm running a 2015 iMac, 32GB RAM, and a AMD Radeon M380 Graphics card.
