maybe i broke Gen2 compatibility when i introduced Gen3 compatibility 

but nah, i recently used it on Aiko5 ... she's Genesis 2 i think

i never really ascertained if my Gen2 figures were automatically converted to Gen3 when i installed Gen3 and/or Daz Studio 4.9

so lets verify this

--

-1 load a Genesis 2 figure

My DAZ 3D Library\People\Genesis 2 Female

she doesnt have Aiko5 morphs, just Victoria 6

- 2 - i select her index finger [3]

3 - i start mcjAutoLimb2015

4 - i exit mcjAutoLimb2015 

this created a target node at the location of her index finger[3]

and a 'pole vector' which indicates how the arm is twisted

- 5 - i move the target node near A3's face

- 6 - i select the target node, followed by the index finger[3] node

- 7 - i use mcjAutoLimb2015 for the current frame

it works !

then using null nodes positioned on the "palm" of their finger tips as the 'targeters' you can do precision posing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm trying to use this with a Gen 2 figure, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. Does this only work for Gen3? Should I be using an older version for Gen 2 figures?

• Armor that doesn't have boob cup chestplates. Think Captain Phasma than default Female Commander Shepard.
• Flat/low-to-no heeled shoes
• More non-white/Caucasian characters. Like, that have legit ethnic appearance to them and not the cheap cop-out of 'default Victoria 7 with a spray tan and/or a minor nose job with an ethnic-sounding name slapped on her' that's all over the place. Mei Lin 7 is a good start. Now do Monique 7 and/or an Indian or Native American/First Nations female next.
• Loose fitting, baggy clothing. Like drapey t-shirts, honest-to-God sweatpants... that sort of thing.
• Creature Creator morphs. Not crayola-colored skin tones with slightly pointed ears. I want beasts/anthros, demons, sea creatures (not Little Mermaid with shell bras and mildly dorsal fin ears), etc.
• Fantasy armor that won't get her killed due to an arrow striking right through her bare skin.

Victoria 7 is a morph for Genesis 3 Female.  So Genesis 3 is all that is required for her.  So, no, the newest does not require the older versions.

When I install a figure or genesis etc... If there are earlier versions, should I install all of them in order first, or just the latest one. For exanple Victoria 7.

The obj import can be very finicky with textures...things like spaces in the names can prevent them from automatically importing.   As long as everything is properly UV mapped, then it's just a matter of going to the textureless surface, in the Surface tab and clicking on the little down arrow in Diffuse Color and navigating to the map location and picking it (repeat for any other maps, like bump, transparency, etc).

 

Yes this happens almost all the time. It is properly mapped , however DAZ still ignores them when importing . And i end up with a blank textureless surface, where i have to rearrange the textures .I can't resize the textures in DAZ , or perhaps there is a way to resize them that i dont know of ? 

For things to properly pose, they need to be rigged...and to be properly rigged, it is best to model the clothing to the base model...so if you are using Victoria 7, for example, you don't model to her...but rather Genesis 3 Female.  And in the default position...the t-pose that they load in.  Moving things around often throws off the auto-rigging...like in your image.  There are some options when rigging that may help, but please post your eacat sequence...and what options you do use.   Some screenshots of the process would be helpful, too.

 

My exact sequence would be as above. I just checked my sequence and i actually used a Genesis 3 Female as base , not Victoria . Sorry about that 

1. Export Avatar of MD in its default pose
2. Load G3 Female in DAZ3D and Import MD's Avatar in its default pose
3.  I would reposition my G3 Female model in DAZ3D to mimic the imported MD avatar.  
2. Export the edited G3 Female model ,  and import it in MD . Then simulate the garment and the garment in MD would very well simulate it because the avatars pose's are alike
3. Export the garment only in OBJ
4. Bring the OBJ into DAZ3D and it would fit G3 Female 
5. Edit hair , makeup of G3 Female
6. Transfer morph of Genesis 3 Female to Garment OBJ by using Assets - > Transfer Utility

Images are below. Is there anything i am doing wrong. 

Instead of editing the avatar, should i edit the garment in MD instead , to fit G3 Female default pose?

I bought Brooklyn HD for Victoria 7 Compatible with Genesis 3 female.

My goal is to create a woman bee.

I need to add to Brooklyn bee wings and a belt-sting as in attachment.

What is your advice ?

Yes, once the imported clothes are properly rigged it would be much easier to get them to 'play nice' with other items, although it may be best to originally model pants to fit over the boots you are intending to use with the outfit (less adjustments to make later).

Hey guys. This set of questions have probably been asked before but i couldn't get a concrete one just because the previous answers and tutorials on the web were of DAZ 4.5 , and im using 4.9.

So i am basically using Clo3d (MD's version specially for clothing) to design my clothes , and pose them on an avatar in DAZ3d then render them. So my steps are below:

1. Export Clo3D's Default Avatar (A-pose) to DAZ3D as OBJ
2. Import Avatar as OBJ in DAZ3D
3. Open the Victoria avatar in DAZ3D and mimic the body proportions so they are exactly the same as CLO3D
4. Save edited Victoria as OBJ.
5. Import Vicotria OBJ in Clo3D and simulate the clothes. 
6. Export Clothes only from Clo3D as OBJ and Apply them in DAZ3D to the original Victoria avatar 
 

Is this the most accurate way of doing it ? If so i do have some issues

a) Most of the times textures of my simulated clothes dont appear in DAZ3D (I did select to save the textures in MD, i tried Unwelding the Objects, Not using Unified UV Maps) but nothing works.
b) I change my poses in DAZ3D . So I would morph the obj clothes to Victoria . However i can never seem to get this with the Asset Transfer Utility. Once i use them i always get the clothes and the model out of prorportions, as shown in the image below

c) Can i still use existing DAZ3D props such as boots / rings ? They seem to overlap with the current obj file. Like in this case, the pants would be above the boots. 

I appreciate any kind help ! :)

Why would daz 4.9 crash upon loading "Dynamic Supersuit Set 3 The Mystics" onto Michael or Victoria 5?

hello all I just installed "Victoria 6 / Genesis 2 Female (s) High Heel Walk aniBlock" and I do not have the compleat bar in animate yet I installed with "DIM" what should I do?

Aeridis made a bunch of autofit clones for Star at ShareCG.

http://www.sharecg.com/pf/full_uploads.php?pf_user_name=aeridis

Be sure to get her Comet male morph as the download includes an assortment of male autofit clones.

Apologies, I've only just seen your post.

I've downloaded everything Aeridis has for Star. I wanted a G2M to Star! so Comet would have some clothes too.

Plus, I'd love to make more clothes compatible for Star! in the future (like Aiko 5, Victoria 3 etc.)  :)

I'm looking to pick up Victoria 7 and I want to get the most detailed result I can. As I was looking through the shop I noticed this HD add on package:

http://www.daz3d.com/victoria-7-hd-add-on

Now, I'm a little new at this so I'm trying to figure out what this is actually giving me over the base Victoria 7.  I'm assuming this doesn't modify the base geo and it doesn't look like it has any textures. Is this just a bump/normal map?

There are also HD character packs such as this:

http://www.daz3d.com/ronya-hd-for-victoria-7

These seem to have all the textures materials and maps in 2k or 4k. Is there something similar for just Victoria?

This is all a bit confusing and I'd appreciate any help!

This was some great advice and links.  Thanks

While most of these tutorial are for Genesis 2, are they any differnecs for Victoria 4?

It's Boss Hog! 

Yep, that's definitely an instant purchase. The face alone is worth it. He would make an excellent villain in my stories. I encourage more characters that's different from the base models in the shop. I never purchase characters that are only slightly different from Genesis, Michael or Victoria. I mean, what's the point of that when you have plenty of morphs to make something unique yourself. 

As for George, you would need to make specific clothing and textures for him to look real, so there's that.  But in a storyboard, you would never really show a character like this from head to toe.
