Can I copy material and texture to another character?

Hello,

I want to start using Daz for my school animation project and I was thinking of buying Rayven G8 and use her as my MC in my project at school because she has the look I want my MC to have. I was thinking of scaling her and aging her, so she dosnt look too young, but then I realised she does not have Anotomical Materals or Textures. I'm sort of suck on having her as my MC, so if was to buy Bridget Pro G8, could I port her Anotomical Materal and Textures for that specific area and apply them to Rayven's character model?

    I take it the character has to be nude?  If you want, you can use Bridget 8, but the whole genital area will be the wrong color.  Fixing it will be a nightmare of fiddling with Iray settings, and may be impossible since the texture maps won't look the same.  A cheaper (and more effective) option might be to grab one of the genital props from Renderotica, especially if it has the ability to copy textures over.

    I don't see any G8F characters listed with the name "Rayven" when I did a search. The only thing I can guess is that either you mean Rayve for Genesis 8 Female, https://www.daz3d.com/rayve-for-genesis-8-female or the search engine is messed up. In case that it is the former and not the latter, the matching anatomical elements are included for the Rayve character. This means that if you have previously purchased one of the G8 adult female pro packages, you should be able to apply them. Just remember that after loading the character, you need to apply the G8 Female Anatomical Elements(if I recall correctly, it is found under "Anatomy" in your Smart Content, and is in either the "Internal" or External" category). After applying the anatomical elements, applying the character's skin will usually automatically add the relevant texture to that region. If not, you might have to go into the character's Smart Content options and add it from there.

    Like I said before, if you already purchased a G8 adult female Pro pack, you already have the option to add the Anatomical Elements to any G8 female character(excluding teen/underage base characters for obvious reasons). This G8 Anatomical Elements option simply allows you to apply a base that is separate from the torso, upon which a character's genital textures are applied(if they are available for the specific character). Some adult characters include the textures for this while some do not, in which case you would have to use skin from a different G8 character that has the Anatomical Elements texture(i.e. not the ones that are "simulated" on the torso texture). Hopefully I've explained that correctly.

    I assumed the character in question was Ravyn for Genesis 8 . As a teen character, she doesn't come with gens textures. But yeah, you'll need a Pro Bundle, probably Victoria 8, in order to have the genital prop in any case.

    I'm just going by how the character looks, which in my opinion looks like a very young teen or possibly younger; especially in regards to the face, so I would assume that Ravyn for G8(if this is the character the OP was referring to) does not include the nipples or anatomical elements in any form. Imo, I would just choose a female character that is obviously an adult with acceptable skin textures for all parts and use the head & body morphs to achieve the desired appearance. Otherwise, your only other option is to load the G8 female base, dial Ravyn's morphs into the G8F base, dial up the head/face age morph, and use a suitable skin texture from a different character. Whether or not this will achieve what you're looking for, I don't know as there could be the issue of the nipple morphs not functioning or the genital mats not applying correctly. I haven't tried changing a teen-base character into an adult with all the anatomy, so I'm not much help with that. I think I remember seeing a couple of possible older versions of this character over on Renderosity if you haven't been able to find any here, but the skin will not be the same and the character probably won't come with any kind of hair.
