Products For Victoria/Michael 5 For Genesis Based On Existing Products For Victoria/Michael 4

Tman300

Okay, so I am a newbie to the 3D modelling world. Just a bit of background - In my day I have been an Aero Engineer, Businessman, Financial Industry systems architect (including datawarehousing) along with having done some screenwriting and comic book production (private runs of "fanzines") to feed my "artistic" side.

I am really impressed with the plethora of products out there for the Victoria 4 and Micheal 4 base models. However I see that the Victoria 5 and Michael 5 for Genesis models lack the same breadth of products. Take clothing by Pretty3D for instance. Really great mature stuff imho.

As I have been on something of a buying spree to kickstart a 3D illustrated/animated story, I bought a product called "V4 and M4 Shapes for Genesis" in the hope that this might allow me to tap into the Victoria 4 and Michael 4 products base.

Two questions.

1) I was wondering if there was any concerted effort among the artist community at large to migrate their products to the new Genesis base model?

2a) Is there a way to use the Victoria 4 products with the Victoria 5 for Genesis model ?
2b) What is needed if what I mentioned above is not enough?

Thanks.

You can use textures from V4/M4/K4 on Genesis, nothing extra required.

You can use their clothing as well using Autofit, which is included in DS4.5 -- sometimes it does a great job, sometimes it needs manual work. Long flowing sleeves, skirts, and shoes are the typical problem areas. There are commercial products which improve on autofit, such as http://www.daz3d.com/sickle-rigging-and-morphing-system and http://www.daz3d.com/clothing-cleavage-modifier

To use V4 or M4 morphs on Genesis, you need http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-generation-x in addition to the V4 and M4 shapes.
