Loading a Michael 5 texture onto a Genesis 3 FEMALE figure.

Is it possible?  If so, how do I do it?

  • Have you tried creating a geometry shell? I'm not near my computer so I'm not sure m5 is an option for gen3f

    You will first need to convert the Michael 5 texture to either Victoria 5, Stephanie 5 or Aiko 5 UVs using the Map Transfer facility in DAZ Studio.  Then you can either use Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: Victoria 5 or Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: Genesis Pack to do the rest.

    Map Transfer instructions:

    1) Load Genesis figure with Michael 5 UVs;
    2) Make sure that Render Settings in DAZ Studio are set to 3Delight;
    3) Click on Surfaces tab Menu and select "Map Transfer...";
    4) In the Templates pane create Templates 1 to 7 then drag the surfaces over into the corresponding template;
    5) Change Target UV Map for all surfaces to "Victoria 5";
    6) Select folder for converted textures to be written to;
    7) Set Baking Quality (I used 10 - the higher the quality the larger the files);
    8) To convert, click Accept. This may take an hour or two;

    Once the textures have been converted, you can load them in the Surfaces tab, change the UVs to Victoria 5 and save it as a Material Preset.

    I have attached a picture of the Michael 5 texture transfered in this way and put onto Genesis 3 Female using Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: Victoria 5.
