Is Genesis 8.1 Male the Same Figure as Michael 8.1 ?

in The Commons
The figure Torment says the compatible figure is Genesis 8.1 Male https://www.daz3d.com/torment-8-1
Is there a Genesis 8.1 Male figure available somewhere? Or is Michael 8.1 the figure they are referring to?
Or is the Torment figure a stand-alone figure that is not dependant on any other figure?

Genesis 8.1 male comes with the Genesis 8 male starter essentials (free and automatically put into your product library) and is not the same as Michael 8.1. So yes, Torment is stand-alone, in the sense that you don't have to buy anything else to make them work.
So do I need to re-download Genesis 8 Male starter essentials to get the 8.1 installed?
Yes. :)
BTW Torment's skin uses the new PBR skin shader, so it will only work in Daz 4.15. Just giving you a head's up, in case you don't use that version.
OH NO! Not another DAZ Studio version! I have to use the Public Build of the last version because some content - like GenX2 - wouldn't work in the regular version.
Also make sure you update DS base resources to get the new shader.
Regarding DS version, GenX2 should still work with the General release. Have you tried reinstalling the plugin?
Yeah, it's a real pain. I have Torment but I only use them on occasion. I have two versions of Daz installed on my pc and tend to use the older one.
