Michael 4 Skeleton

vonHobo

I need a skeleton for art reference and cannot find anything in the DAZ Shop that supports Genesis 8.

So the two options seem to be Midnight Skeleton, which comes with Genesis 3 poses. 

And Michael 4 Skeleton which is much more realistic looking to me than Midnight Skeleton, but I am not sure if it's a normal figure to load in DAZ (.duf file) because it only lists these:

What's Included and Features

Features

• 2 Skeletons for M4 (.CR2 and .OBJ)
  • 1 DAZ Studio Skeleton
  • 1 Poser Skeleton

Does anyone know if the Michael 4 Skeleton will load up like other figures, and if I can use either G3 or G8 poses on it?

Usually, figures, at least G3 and G8 figures, list a .DUF file in the Features section of the product. So this is confusing me.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The M4 (and V4) Skeletons will load independently, although they can be used with M4 and V4, and their internal organs, if you want. The skeletons are rigged the same as the figures, so they will take any M4 or V4 pose directly. To get to Genesis 3 or 8, you will need to convert the poses to Genesis or Genesis 2 first, then on to Genesis 3 or 8. There are products to do the conversion from V4 to Genesis/Genesis 2. There is no specific M4 conversion, but it is pretty close. Other products do the conversion from Genesis 2 to Genesis 3 and Genesis 3 to Genesis 8. There are some freebies to do the same, maybe even in one shot from M4/V4 to Genesis 3 or 8.

Thank you Northof45. 

I will probably purchase the M4 Skeleton. And then maybe purchase a few M4 poses as needed, just for the skeleton. Converting sounds like a lot of work, but nice to know that I can if I really need to.
