Stupid G8.1 question. Missed a few months.

Haven't been on here for a few months, and saw there's new G8.1. How does it work? Do you get the base 8.1 figures on DAZ, or do you have to buy them?

    G8.1 base requires DS 4.15. Also, you need to download updated DS resources and Genesis 8.1 figure resources (updates of the Genesis 8 ones. Then, as with G8 you make characters on top of the G8.1 base. G8.1 has different UV mapping and expressions from G8, but can use all the existing G8 morphs. To use the G8 UV's you have to actively select the G8 UV set so G8.1 can then use G8 maps. Skin shader has been updated too, to the PBRSkin which is suppose to give better results than the Uber shader. All older stuff (G8 & earlier) is unaffected.

    Regards,

    Richard.

    Thanks. So I just need to update DAZ and the base figures will be there?

    They will when you update the Genesis 8 resources, yes. You will need to update the default resources in with DS4.15 too (not just the G8 resources) as that's where the skin shader is downloaded.

    Uhm... Ok... Nope. Technologically disabled here. Sorry. Can you try that in English?

    Ok, download all the bits from the DAZ Studio download page and all the bits on your Genesis 8 download page. That should do it.

    Genesis 8 Starter Essentials has the figure, Default Resources has the new shader used by many of the add-ons (but not the 8.1 base), and you need to be using Daz Studio 4.15.x.x
