Question on Genesis 8.1

shg0816_13461e8196

I have been putting off getting things for 8.1, because of compatibility.

I understand that clothes for G8 figures will work on 8.1, for the most part, which is great. BUT, what about skin textures and LIE components (INKED series).  For example, I really like Catty 8.1, and I have a use for it, but would the skin textures from a genesis 8 character work on it, same with LIE. If the answer is yes, then that's great.

Textures made for G8F will work on 8.1 as 8.1 includes G8F base UVs.

Regarding LIE textures, if you use them over textures with G8F UVs they'll work exactly as on G8F. If you try to use them over textures made for G8.1F UVs you may not get good results though.

Thank you!! It'd be primarily on the 8.0 Textures.

Sorry, but one more question...what about morphs?  For example, could I use Faces of the World morphs on 8.1 figures?

Yes, as long as you're using DS4.15+

In 4.15 Genesis 8.1 will load the morphs from Genesis 8 folder too, the only exception being standard expression morphs which were blocked as there's a new expression system for 8.1 (there's a workaround to get them to load too, but there's no guarantee they'll look exactly the same as with 8)
