NEW! Novica & Invited Guest Contributors Tips & Product Reviews Pt 6
Interesting- Capsces Digital Ink has some 65% off products, that further discount if you have one of the featured products. (I've got FWSA Hannah in the cart ($2.99 and it's a qualifying item) If you've got the Morphing Python, the Capsces Madame Mojo Monique 6 poses go down to $5.08 and I'd personally hate to try and fiddle with that snake to pose it like those poses do- well worth $5 ! And Supercomic Poses for Karen 7 goes to $4.48. There's a few others, too. Happy shopping!
V4 skins onto Genesis 2 helpThese scripts help with applying V4 textures to G2F, if you have the UVs for V4.
http://www.sharecg.com/v/70109/browse/8/Script/Genesis1-surfaces-for-G2F-and-vice-versa
You just change G2F's surfaces to Genesis' (which are the same as V4), the just copy the torso mat zone to the ears. Then change the names back to G2F with the other script. This way you don't have to save the V4 texture first before applying it to G2F. Also you can use the Age of Armour subsurface presets I created for V4 skins on G2F afterwards http://dakkuuan.deviantart.com/art/G2F-and-Genesis-Victoria-4-Skin-AoA-Presets-565403620
Arabella 7I don't get it. How is she any different from the other G3 females we've seen so far? Looks pretty much identical to me. Does anyone have a side-by-side comparison with, say, Victoria 7 please?
Vyria looks quite nice though. Can always trust Silver to produce good looking females. Looks like no gens mats though, so not a complete character in my books - shame
.All my girls at Daz (unless its a Teen or something where it doesnt fit ex. zombie, fantasy creature, etc) come with genitals. It should be listed.
Ah, thanks for putting me straight Silver. Its not listed on the product page and the readme wasn't in the docs center yet when I checked, so had to make an assumption. That does put an new complexion on things then because, whilst I'm not that interested in Arabella 7, I am very interested indeed in Vyria. You (Silver) are excellent at creating pretty females.
It says shes based off the base G3F UV, so I assume that Arabella 7 isn't actually essential then? Do you have an image of what she looks like without the Arabella morphs dialled in please?
Edit: Zombies need love too!

Here is a quicky of Vyria without the Arabella dialed in, Vyria uses Arabella at 50%. I think the Arabella is what makes her face personally but its not bad without :)
Thank you Silver. Yes its still very pretty without Arabella, which is saying a lot considering the base G3F is pretty ugly - I could certainly shape it into the right look for me with the right morphs anyway. I bet if I dialled V7 into her instead it would end up looking very similar to the Arabella version (which is also very nice, but I can't justify a need for Arabella right now). The skin looks very good anyway, so useable in all kinds of scenarios. The different arm and leg textures are really cool too.
* Must pick up Dahlia as well at some point. She is hot, hot hot!!
I really hope you create a lot of characters for G3F in your usual style, Silver. I just love your style - the big pouty lips and soft doe eyes. You and Thorne are the best! I keep wanting to buy so many of your creations, like Daisy, Anabelle, Echo, Mina, Frankie Von Stein etc but because they're for older generations I force myself not to (because I want to focus on G3 now if possible... for the better bends). I was gonna get Bryonia and Ginger too, but then G3F came along and now I dunno... I want them all, but I want them as G3
. Life is so hard
.Objaction Mover and Veronica Year TwoI still can't it the Veronica character to work.
The outfit itself works fine with vanilla Vicotria 2 in the less extreme poses. Here's a quick pic with Victoria 2 (with Capsces' Roxanne morphs). SSS added with EZSkin. I probably could have adjusted the mask fit a bit more (Master Skull cap is under there, so I manually fit and parented it to V2's head). I also probably could have adjusted the lighting just a wee bit more. Overall, though, not a bad looking pic of a digital gal of-a-cetrain-age like V2.
I'd still appreciate help with Objaction Mover and this Veronica character if anyone in the know stumbles across this thread, though. Please.
Arabella 7Here we are folks, a side by side facial comparison of Arabella 7 and Victoria 7 literally just loaded as is (although I added hair!) Can render for longer if anyone is interested but I think this gives a pretty good comparison.

Oh, nice! Thank you! I assume A7 (and yes, guys, as she's presently the only A7, I'm calling her A7 ;)) is the one on the left? If so, it looks like she could be a very useful dial-in for the more angular look.
Going by that, however, it doesn't look like her skin is particularly pale. Those complexions look very similar.

Arabella 7- except for Victoria, we don't have G2 char's names used in G3
Except for Victoria and Josie, you mean...
- we have 2 shapes buddles that (try to) mimic those G2 chars
We had legacy shapes for G2F too, and besides those are PA products.
- the whole new line of G3 main char follows a completely different strategy/development/look. See Bethany for exemple : no G2 equivalent, Karen no real G2 equivalent etc...
- G2 main chars where clearly "type of char/market" based. Gia: round musclar, lilith goth model, giselle fae, mei lin asian, etc... Except for Bethany, we don't have this picturized in G3
Karen is supposed to be the super heroine type, Eva a smaller athletic type, Arabella the goth vampire... Seems quite similar to me.
I don't remember which DAZ rep said that previous generation figures which were successful would get a Genesis 3 incarnation, but it was definitely stated.
DAZ_Steve also said when Bethany was released that there's a G3 version of Olympia planned, so there could be a Lilith too.
Arabella 7why wouldn't we get a Lilith 7?
My guess: we won't.
and 
Why? Add up this:
- except for Victoria, we don't have G2 char's names used in G3
- we have 2 shapes buddles that (try to) mimic those G2 chars
- the whole new line of G3 main char follows a completely different strategy/development/look. See Bethany for exemple : no G2 equivalent, Karen no real G2 equivalent etc...
- G2 main chars where clearly "type of char/market" based. Gia: round musclar, lilith goth model, giselle fae, mei lin asian, etc... Except for Bethany, we don't have this picturized in G3
- etc...
I liked the fact that in G2 I could start to be inspired with a "type of girl". If for example, I wanted a asian beauty a bit fantasy elven, I knew where to look for to get some more inspiration and in the process the tools iI needed.
In G3, the process is completely different.
Arabella 7I never use the faces as is, so it's the body shape that intrigues me about Arabella.
She has the wide hips of Lilith, but she's so very skinny. Arabella's breasts are maybe closer to Teen Josie 7's than Victoria's, and I think that's great. I do appreciate the voluptuousness of Bethany & the glam of Victoria, but I think we needed an adult body shape with a more modest bustline.
Maybe Arabella's face might resemble Victoria, but that's on a separate dial. I'm not a big fan of Bethany's face either. If you blended Bethany and Arabella, I think you could get close to Lilith. Of course, since Lilith 6 sold well, why wouldn't we get a Lilith 7? Arabella would hardly stand in the way, I think.

.Base Female UV set on Genesis?By the posts I can't understand what you know and what you don't know, so probably I will explain too much.
Alternative 1: Buy G2FUV-for-G1 included in Genesis 2 Male and Female Base UVs for Genesis
cons: you need buy the product to translate presets Batch Convert Genesis 2 to Genesis, or load the textures by hand.
pros: no need use map transfer.
Alternative 2: V5UV is free for G2F, but it isn't free for G1. We can suppose V5UV-for-G2F is not the same that V5UV-for-G1, because the advice is that you need buy Victoria 5 for use V5-skins in genesis. Use map transfer to convert from G2F_BaseUV-for-G2F to V5UV-for-G2F. Then G1 can use converted skin through V5UV-for-G1. Set uv map in surface tab to Victoria 5, it doesn't happen automatically.
cons: Victoria 5 is not cheap
Alternative 3: Buy Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 Female. This contains V4UV-for-G2F, so you can use map transfer and convert to V4UV. Definitively V4UV-for-G2F is not V4UV-for-G1.
V4UV-for-G1 is free, then G1 can use converted skin through it. Set uv map in surface tab to Victoria 4 if it is not the default.
cons: V4UV-for-G1 is not totally corrected and some makeups suffer. There is a product with a corrected UV version for G1. Yes, it is not free.
Sorry, but the world "buy" is a unavoidable constant.

Last time I tried it myself on V6, last year, I found opening the mouth helped.
Objaction Mover and Veronica Year TwoThe set is for Victoria 1 and 2, so it would be blMilWom.obj from Runtime\Geometries\ZygotePeople.
Objaction Mover and Veronica Year TwoIs it wanting blMilWom-v4b.obj or the original blMilWom-v4.obj? Victoria 4.1 or 4.2 added an eyebrow bone, which changed the OBJ, which will break the pcf if it was created against the other version.
Base Female UV set on Genesis?So V5 Bree and G2F Bree aren't the same UV's just the same texture, but transferred and not renamed?
I was wondering about that, since G2F came with a Victoria 5 UV (I think? I may have gotten it from something else)
Base Female UV set on Genesis?Catrina, under G2F it's listed as 'Base Female.' I copied the face to a Genesis figure. No matter what UV set I use (G2F Base Female, Genesis Female, Victoria 5, etc), the lips are offset too low, there are seams at the top of head and sides of the neck, etc. The different maps change things a bit, making certain features larger or smaller, but in all cases the face is sliding off.
